liuuidating movement in the stock
market was resumed at the very
opening of business Monday and save
for a few fitful rallies was maintained
through the session. Securities came
out in enormous volume for the first
ten minutes, when the situation was
one of utter decentralization. The
greatest losses were recorded by the
Hill and Hartman stocks, but num-
Der Of the less conspicuous issues
were thrown over at severe declines.
The break was checked before the
end of the first hour, but in the late
afternoon prices went still lower.
New low records were made by some
issues and the list as whole was
very near the low level made in the
silent panic" of last March
Sentiment in high financial circles
was decidedly pessimlstlc, rehecting
the disgust and lack of confidence
which appear to pervade the markets
of the world at this particular time.
To "a very large extent this feeling Is
based upon existing monetary condl-
tions. Time money Is becoming
scarcer at all the leading financial
centers and this condition gives prom
Use of becoming more acute here be-

ALL IN COLOR SCHEME.
Hats and Gowns Made Brilliant by
Contrasting Shades.

Colors in everything once more.
Hats are again brilliant in their eff
feet by reason of the color contrast OF
the flowers or plumes used to trim
them. The same rule Is observed on
dressy indoor gowns, AS an example
I'm gown Of Chinese pink in Mar
quisette, the skirt falling over thin
liberty satin to mattel. From the
knee upwards this sheer silk is plisse,
while upon the bottom, just long
enough to lie with ease upon the
ground, is a double line trimming, In
a half-inch piping of crab blue satin
Of that pale exquisite tone which so
happily blends with the oriental pink.
The same satin is used for bias bre-
telles and for a bias belt drapery.
The lace of the bodice and sleeves is
dyed to match the pink skirt, the bod
ice lining being of the Marquisette,
while chiffon of the same plisse, soft
ly fills up the VS. front and back and
shows also in an inner sleeve close fit-
ting. Real lace armlets for these
sleeves and a real lace neckband in
cream white adds to the becoming
ness.---Vogue
