New York, Dec. 28.-Bradstreet's.
tomorrow viii say:
With an unparalleled volume Of
business for 1906, crowned by q re-
cord holiday trade, and q better vol
unle OF future orders booked than
ever before, the commercial and in
duStrial interests OF the country look
forward with confidence to the de-
NelOpment of 1907. Holiday suspeu-
sions in the iron and steel, textile and
various other Industrial lines Were OF
short DURATION, owing to the mills be-
ing 50 We'll old ahead. Current job
binG and wholesale trade is of the fill
ing in order character, and while q
cold snap carly in the week helped
retail trade in s~easOlable goods, the
weather on the whole, has been too
mild for the fullest developments.
Money continues firm and active. but
easier conditions are locke for after
the turn OF the new year. Car short
ages still prevail, though the situation
Is somewhat better.
One of the most significant features
IN the entire situation is that cOnsum-
ers are apparently convinced of the
ne~rnanency of present high prices,
and, as shown by advance orders. are
disposed to order ahead with liber-
aIity and confidence.
Buying Of pig iron for delivery in
the second half of 1907 is increasing
in volume. \ significant feature is the
fact thai buyers appear disposed GO
accept the present high level of prices.
tne feeling in this respect being in
sharp contrast to that displayed early
IN the summer, when There was q
! tendency to question the permanency
OF high quotations.

Of all sorts are invariably transparent

strips to support them.
Omber taffeta or liberty is artistical-
" used for the foundation of sheer
frocks. \ skirt of gauze or chiffon. for
example, is made over a colored silk
barely tinted at the waist, but shading
to a much deeper hue at the skirt bot
tom.
Women with good figures still like
the corselet skirt. A smart suit recent
ly seen was in hop-green chiffon broad
cloth, worn with a wide-sleeved bolero,
embroidered and applied with stitched
strappngs. With it was worn a cheni-
settle Of Alencon and Irish lace.
Little taffeta boleros in emerald
green, Havana brown, suede gray, etc,
are much worn by Parisians over their
batistes. voiles, etc. The little coats
arc very short and fitted, trimmed in
tiny ruches Of the silk and buttoning
with one large button at the bust line.
The craze for every one of the khaki
shades exceeds all expectations They
raise out OF the golden brown, the
golden brown out of the nut brown
INTO a gamut or scale that ends up in
the palest biscuit tones which make
for full-dress occasions. Figured o.
plain silks, If in Rajahs, of the natural
silk color (Which is one of the shades
in vogue), are to be the travelling cos

waist was outlined with a band Of
white silk about one inch wide. 1t was
sleeveless with a surplice front, the
fullRess being drawn IN under white
shoulder straps. The guimpe was Of
soft. thin lace. The skirt OF nine cores

stitched only a short distance from the
waist, enough to give a smooth effect

senseIess smart Women.

Among the most aggravating things
to deal with In life is the talented or
smart woman who has very little COM
mon sense.
There is the young girl, in dire need
Of money, but with a clever talent for
making sketches that would make her
independent. A friend. after Infinite
trouble, gets her an order from a lead
ing caterer for dinner cards, that
might have been the beginning Of an
artistic career and would have kept the
wolf from the door at the start, but
the young woman turns up her nose
1t the very suggestion.
There Is the little dressmaker, with
the fingers of an artist, struggling
along, unknown and unpatronized. A
good samaritan of woman induces a
society friend whose work alone means
4 fortune. to try her, but the sense
less dressmaker does not keep her first
engagement and loses herr opportunity.
There is the needy woman for whom
dozens of people have moved heaven
and earth to get her a position, and
when she took it put on such top lofty
airs and discoursed so continually on
her past splendors and patronized her
employers so until she made herself
anendnrable and lost her place.
Everybody has had experiences Of
like character and knows that the most
Impossible and hopeless and discourage
ing and notwithstanding thing in the
world is to attempt to try to help these
smart women without sense. If you
are worrying along with any of these
types of senseless smart women drop
them like hotcakes, for you can never
hope to see any improvement in them.

on the morning of the fifth day.
Jean spent the whole of the long night
that came before that fifth day in COM

at last had the satisfaction of seeing Au-

No rest came to her; her poor young heart
was torn and bleeding, and no salve was
at hand to heal it.
The parting between the two girls was
very quiet; neither of them could speak
the words of farewell, and their eyes we're

nothing. hearing nothing for the passion

Jean stood with her hands pressed to
her breast, and as the wheels of the cab
carried all that was precious to her away
from her, perhaps forever, she gave one
moan and fell forward on her outstretch-
ed arms.
