MANY RETAIL FAILURES
IN GARMENT TRADE

New York, June 12.-There are
many failures reported in the retail
garment trade for women's wear as
consequence of the utter failure of
spring trade. The manufacturers who
have sold large quantities of goods
' to retailers are reporting slow col
lections on account, and there are
general unsatisfactory conditions 'ex-
listing throughout the cutting trade.
Separate skirts and complete cos
tune in medium weight cloths were
ordered freely during the initial or
der period for the spring season, as
the retailers looked forward to nor
NAL conditions prevailing. They
have received their stocks, and have
had them on exhibition for upward
of 12 weeks, as many of them show
ed their first styles during the open
ing week of March. AT no time has
there been an even moderate move
ment in these goods in any section
of the country, except the extreme
west. It is only on the high grade
cloaks and suits that normal call
on recorders Is being made. The de-
partment stores handling costumes
and wraps OF the better quality have
succeeded in selling their first pur-
chases, and are in the market taking
fresh supplies from the garment
trade.

ed London with literature that was
calculated to make the watercresJ

the bacteria that lurked in the inno-

Recently the County Council in
vestigated the statements of this
league, with the result that an in
spection OF watercress beds was or
dered. 70 out OF 240 were found to
be polluted, and consequently clos
ed. Today a strict watch is kept
over the beds so the league may be
said to have justified its existence.
Some three centuries ago league
was formed In France, known as the
League of st. Vincent de Paul, which
now exists in all Roman Catholic
countries. It's objects are manifold.
IL provides medical comforts for the
sick, visits prisoners and endeavors
to start them afresh In life on their
release. From this league sprang
most of the beneHcient societies
which are in existence today, such
as the Discharged Prisoners Aid So
clety, the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children and other
kindred associations.
Faddists are responsible for many
leagues. There are people who OBJ
ject to birds being confined In cages,
rabbits in hutches, pigeons In cotes,
and so on, and who form associa-
tions to remedy these evils.
Some extraordinary leagues exist
in connection with the legal fratern-
ity. The Brotherhood of the Central
Criminal Court, the headquarters of
which are at a hostelry close to the
Temple. is one OF the most peculiar
of these societies. Only wardens
and officials OF -he old--or shall we
say new?-Bailey, and barrlsters'
clerks whose employers have eth n

Wild, is handed round with great
solemnity.-Parson's Weekly.
