Society in London.

Mrs. George CORVALLIS West. in Harpers Bazaar.
The craze of the day is to be. or to ap
pear to be, earnest. To be rich and beautl-
full is not sufficient; the real social leaders
of the day are not content with these acct
dents of birth and fortune They aspire to
political influence or to be thought literary
and artistic and society follows the lead.
1t is the fashion to attend lectures and
court Bernard Shaw. to indulge in ora
torios and eighteenth-century concerts to
breathe Bach and Beethoven.
The standard of education and culture Is
higher nowadays for the majority than 1t
used to be in the old days. Formerly wom-
en- stayed at home and had more time to
perfect their education. but much time was
taken up with the writing of mawkish
diaries and in the execution of feeble
sketches. Then you had few shining
lights who stood out above the crowd;
now hundreds are to the fore. 1t takes q
remarkably clever woman now to become
very prominent by her own merit.

DISPLAYING FLOWERS.
They Show to the Best Advantage in
the Simplest Vases

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
When displaying flowers In vases, as on
a metal or center table. one thing ought
to be borne in mind, and that is, the palmer
the vase the better the flowers will show.
Somebody says that the Inference between
a vase and a 'vahze' is that the latter
costs more than $3.50 But 'vahze" that
costs s. or ST is now called an amphora,
and both the "vahze" and the amphora
were never intended for use. but to be
placed on stands or in inches as evidences
that their owner has money to burn. To
put flowers in either would spoil the effect
Of the flowers. for the eye would be at
tracted by the beauty or material of the
receptacle. and the flowers would be over
Swallowed.
To get the best possible effect of flowers
put them in the plainest possible vase or
bowl that will not attract attention, then
they will be appreciated for themselves and
no comparison will be instituted between
them and the receptacle that holds them.
A double handful of oXeye daisies, black
eyed SuSanS. rudbeckias, cornfowers or any
other common blossom will show to more
advantage in a brown earthen pitcher than
In the costliest amphora ever carved out of
Parian marble.
The japanese understand this principle.
All their flower vases of the plainest
possible construction. But the flower-Iov-
ing Japs go to the opposite extreme in dis
playing their flowers and try by judicious
arrangement to get the best possible re-
suits from very few flowers. They seldom
display more than half a dozen flowers in
vase. and try always to have more TO-
liage than bloom. making green the pre-
dominant color. thus setting off to the best
advantage the tint of the flower against
a neutral background. That. however is
matter of taste A few flowers well dis
played give an effect of dainty elegance.
Americans like flowers in the mass. but the
good taste of both agrees regarding the
simplicity of the vase.

THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, July 2O.-The cotton market
opened steady at an advance of points on
July, which was influenced by covering and
absence of offerings, while later months
were to points lower. owing to disap-
pointing cables and good weather over the
belt. Trading was quiet during the early
session and prices were steadied by week
end covering which may have been pro-
NOTED by bullish week end figures, although
the business hardly indicated any change
in the general attitude toward the market.

bales of new crop have been ginned at

DEALINGS QUITE IRREGULAR
.ondon Was Equally Dull-Bank
Statement Fairly Satisfactory.
Changes in All Items Small.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 2O-As to be ex-
pected In view of all the general circum-
stances of the stock market during the
past ten days, today's dealings were char
acterized by quite irregular tendencies.
Profit realizing sales were conducted oc-
Casionally during the short business ses-
sion in sufficient volume as to lead to price
recessions In a number OF the active Is
sues and on the hand buying OF the same
bold character that has been witnessed OF
late carried other stocks up quite sharply.
In the railway list the most striking
feature was Southern Pacific. in which
instance a substantial rise was scored. The
movement there was accompanied by very
positive reports that the forthcoming d1vl-
iend upon the stock would be declared at
an advanced rate, which would seem to be
plausible enough In view of the companys
preliminary statement of earnings for the
year published yesterday coupled with the
Well-known Hartman methods.
Northern Pacific and Great Northern pre-
ferred moved irregularly in common with
the market at large in spite of this morn
ing's more positive reports with regard to
the disposition of the Burlington property,
but those stocks showed firm undertone.
Most Striking Movements.
The most striking movements among the
industrials and miscellaneous issues were
Ine advances OF over TWO points WHICH were
scored in General Electric and Western
Union. The settlement of the threatened
labor troubles doubtless accounted for the
movement in the last named stock, while
the strength in General Electric was at
tributed ~ the measure of success achieved
by the company in its bond fiotation.
The London stock market was equally as
dull and irregular that in New York
and operations here for foreign account
played little part in the local dealings.
Favorable forecasts with regard to the
bank statement were In circulation previous
70 the appearance of that document and
these representations turned out to be
fairly correct. The changes in all the
TENS were small. Cash holdings increased
pnly S27IO.G0o as against the preliminary
estimates of about 81. JO0OOO The loan ac-
count showed the nominal increase of S414,-
300 and the deposit account increased
t223l 900. In consequence surplus reserves
Increased $22l1 900 and now stand at
H90SS.OOO
Surplus reserves in the corresponding
week Of last year were SO. 3gl 900 and in
1905, Sli,949. 900.

THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, July 20.-The wheat market
today weakened after a firm opening.
Higher cables gave a touch of stiffness to
the early quotations, but the general senti-
ment among pit traders was bearish, and
persistent selling soon brought prices down.
September opened 4 lower to II higher, at
9224a93. and sold off 92}sa921s
Trading in corn was very light and prices
were weak, chiefly because of the continued
favorable weather. September opened a
shade to Aa% lower. at 52k 20 52A, and
sold at 522sa52a.
Oats opened firm. but a rush Of profit
selling soon brought about an easier feel

Swedenborg in Ruf1es and Wig.

From The Occult Review.
'Swedenborg was a great deal in London.
where he was known and admired and had
several good friends, but his small knowl-
edge of English and the impeachment in his
speech precluded him from any real inti-
macy.
His slight figure. with its fine features
and hazel eyes. was well known in the
neighborhood of Coldbath Fields, where he
lodged, and he was often seen stopping to
talk to the children, for whom he used to
carry sweetmeats He was always dressed
In an oldfashioned suit with lace ruffies
and wore a full bottomed wig carrying a.
sword and gold-headed cane.
On Christmas eve. l711. he had a stroke
of apopleXy. and on March 20, 1772 the day
he had foretod. he died at the hour which
he had himself named

Der of undergraduates invited her to spend
a day at Oxford. large party had been
gathered to meet her. and great was the
expectation of her coming. At the last
moment she excused herself: Christ Church
was in despair. The play must be acted
and a Hamlet found. An undergraduate
who knew French undertook to assume the
part. The gorgeous robe and the turban
were not wanting. the manly voice and mas
culne manner were no hindrance, the day
was a complete success. The guests be-
lieved to the end of their lives that they had
spent rapturous hours under the spell Of
the fair Genevese.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 20.-A banker when
asked for his opinion regarding the con-
tinued strength of the stock market said
today that he believed that 1t would 60
somewhat higher. but that he was not GER
tain that it would be sustained at the
higher level for any length of time. From
other sources 1t Is learned that the pres
ent program calls for the establishment of
Union Pacific above 150 Northern Pacific
40 and the other active issues on q
level proportionately as high. Last week
a somewhat concerted move was made to
test the position of the market and 1t was
found that on the way down there was
few stocks pressing for sale. Consequently
1t was decided that 1t would be compare
lively easy to advance the prices Of the
active issues from 5 to 10 points. 1t is
tntimated that at the higher level, roughly
outlined above, the large interests hope
that the market will be comparatively
quiet.
A shrewd observer OF the present situa-
ton says that 1t is easy to discover that
commission houses and the professional
element are not In sympathy with the
present movement. He adds that so far as
he has been able to discover the buying
by commission houses for their regular
clients Is not important in the aggregate.
He believes that prices are being advanced
believe that they will be sustained IL car
ried very much further
~
The head of an active commission house
says that 80 far as the business of his
firm, 10 op
features is the steady buying for invest
ment He adds that for some little time
the daily transactions of his firm have in
cluded a considerable number of buying
orders of this character. He assumes of
course. that the same is proportonately
true Of the business done by other COM
mission houses and believes that this kind
OF buying is one of the sustaining factors
Of the market
X
The plans of the controlling interests in
the Hill lines with respect to the purchase
of the Northern Pacific's equity In the Bur-
lington and the distribution of a large cash
dividend out of the proceeds on Northern
Pacific have been referred to frequently as
reports and rumors. AS a matter of fact,
these plans have been under careful con-
sheraton by these interests and their at
.oiheJS ioi manly IuontnS, ana WOuld have
been announced officially a long time ago
except for the conditions Of the money
market and legal obstacles encountered.
AS stated yesterday. some of the large in
terests in these properties now believe that
no announcement should be made until Oc-
tober, or perhaps the first of next year
1t may be taken as fact however, unless
the ideas Of the controlling interest change
very materially, as frequently outlined by
us since last fall. the plan will be an
nounced just soon as conditions seem
to warrant such action.

The Nurses Vacation.

From the London Hospital
The distinction between the woman to
whom nursing Is vocation and the woman
who merely earns her living by nursing Is
a very real one. although it is very diff
cult one to define. nurse may be full OF
faults and yet have a true vocation while,
on the other hand. woman of the most es-
Unable type may be lacking In the smallest
spark of the divine fire. The vocation for
nursing leaps out from the humblest, as
well as from the highest. homes in the
kingdom. Its one shining mark Is its vi
tally.
