USUAL DINNER IN LONDON
An Optimistic Speech BY Whltelaw
Reid-Gatherings at Berlin, VI.
emma and Dresden In Honor
OF Home custoins.

London, Nov. 29.--Whitelaw Reid
the American ambassador, spoke op
timistically of the financial outlook
and Field Marshal Sir George Stuart
White eulogized President Roosevelt
in the warmest terms at the Thanks
giving dinner of the American society
Thursday night. That the financial
depression was felt among the Ameri-
cans in England was shown by the
attendance at the banquet, which was
the smallest in several years Three
hundred guests participh ted compared
with four hundred at hast years ban
Quet.
Ambassador Reid said In part:
Some one said to me, as | was
starting for this dinner. You will
have to be a Mark Tapley this
night, cheerful under difficulties
That was only an exaggerated way
of saying that we will have to be
American as usual Nothing could be
more un-American than to be down
cast over temporary discouragements
or to despair Of the republic because
some Of our people, unhappily, have
lost their money almost as fast as
they had made It. We have seen
such things before, and it was worse
when the country was not half so
big or half so rich as 1t is now, and
we have not forgotten how we came
out of them.
'In most respects our country
never has been in a happier position
than today. It is not merely at peace.
but on terms Of absolute good will
with all the world. The whole SEN
sational press was unable to make a
ripple in our cordial relations with
that great friendly people in the
farther East, whom we had the
honor of first introducing to the west
ern world. Even that spirited little
colony beyond our northern frontier,
Newfoundland. has good. naturally
agreed to arbitfSte, things instead of
going to war with us, and, however,
take it smiling after the habit of our
race"
The ambassador then paid a tribute
TO the new star in the flag, Oklahoma,
and said the next president would be
head Of 46 states with population
Of 100000 before the close of his
term.

Announce that They Cannot Meet
Their Obligations.
This statement that n of the old.
est houses had been swamped in the
crash Bob had started caused further
frantic selling, and, as though every
member had employed the luli to re.
fill his lungs, a howl arose that pealed
and walled to the dome.
l watched Bob closely; In fact, II
was impossible for me to take ny
eyes of him; he seemed absolutely
unmindful of the agonizing sh1eks
about him, for the frenzied brokers
were no longer crying their bids OIL
offers, but screaming them. He still
continued relentlessly to hammer
Sugar, offering it in thousands ant
tens of thousand lots.
Again and again the gavel fell, ant
again and again an announcement O
failure was followed by b~lood-curdlins
bowls. When Sugar struck S0-no

last day of stock speculation was a
hand. Announcements were beins
made every few minutes of the failure
of this bank, the closing Of the doors

drop skirt which forms the lining, and.
indeed, many of these drop Innings are
made of soft satin held back by elias,
tics, allowing little or nc fullness until
well below the knees.
The gown of a slight princess effect
is still popular, and one in rather modi-I
fed lines is shown to-day. The soft;
draping Of the waist lends becomingl
lines to the thin girl, and the model
combines the new mougquetaire sleeve
now so much worn. 4
For a woman of medium size iei
would require about Is yards of silk,
IS inches wide, for the body Of the
dress, while for the drapery On the
waist and sleeves it would require
about three yards Of double width
chiffon or net.
You cannot make a gown in these
days with a small pattern. 1t is essen
detail, both of which consume goods.
A short pattern will make you a stint
ed dress that will look passe the first
time you put it on. )
The reign of the jumper has BEEN
sung, and while we are told that the
kimono sleeve will last, we welcomed
something that is a relief from the
regulation cut, and one which will still
give us the long-shoulder effect. Bre-i
telles of various designs bid fair toI
become popular, and they have the
double advantage of being fashionable
and at the same time becoming. J
The stouter woman should cling to-
the eton in modified lines, while the
extremely thin girl should select a
loose jacket on the kimono order. I'll
is really a great art to know just what
style is becoming to your particular
figure, and this comes only from ex-
perience. One of the best dressed
women of New York never wears any
| thing but a toque that is very high on
7 one side and falls very low on the
forehead.
She is a woman who has millions at
her command, but says that she has
tried every known style of millinery
and this is the only one that becomes
her, and hence she never changes just
to be in fashion at the cost of her
beauty.
1t is a good general rule to go by.
Select things that are becoming rath-
er than those at the height of fashion,
always keeping within bounds of gen.
eral styles. In these days of many
models this is easily accomplished,
for the long graceful lines now in
t prevalence are generally becoming.
A woman must spend only a little
r time and thought on the selection of
| that particular cut most becoming to
a particular figure.

Unsound Cooperative Concerns.

MISREPRESENTATION is one of the first
laws of nature" wrote some thinker
long ago, and time has failed to prove
it untrue. Yet how many commit in
voluntary suicide by unwisely follow
ing the instructions of some quack
doctor in their efforts to cure them
selves of some ailment? And how
many more bring to themselves finan-
cial ruin by wild speculation in
schemes that they know little about,
prompted by glittering promises of
great returns for little money. Lately
numerous alleged cooperative mercan-
tile establishments have sprung up in
large cities and are seeking the sup
port of farmers throughout the coun-
try. Don't take the advice of the
"quack doctor and commit financial
suicide by investing in them and Civ
ing them your patronage instead of
the business place of your own town.

Is Concentration Desirable?

He who thinks that a 1~O,OO0-acre
farm under control Of one man, who
reaps all the profits of its operation, is
better than 100 100-acre farms owned
by 100 men, each of whom reaps the
reward of his labor reasons erroneous
ly. If the big farm is not for the best
why then build UP big stores in the
large cities that do the business OF
1000 small stores in the smaller
towns? Why kill off the business of
the local town and help make
wealthier the proprietors of the big
concerns in the great cities? Does
this question call for an answer?

COMBINATIONS MUCH IN FAVOR.
All Sorts of Materials Put to Use by
Costume Designers.

Combination of materials is decided
ly the thing this season. For example,
take the use of trimming hens Of
broadcloth velvet or silk OF skirts Of
various materials.
The idea is really of Japanese
origin, as are so many of the fashions
of the present day.
The fashion designers have made
an extremely clever use Of this fancy,
and are putting broad hens of plain
material, often contrasting in color
and always in texture, at the foot OF
dressy skirts.
Another attractive use of this new
hem Is for evening wraps of broad
cloth, lace or silk. These are quite
often finished with a hem three or
four inches deep, made OF broadcloth,
In white, pink, blue or any light con
trasting color.
