American mar kets were in ready sympathy with the ad vance and did their part Early in the day there was some sagging in American markets but the close was again near top figures.
 In Montgomery prices ranged from IFS to II hc, the bulk of the cotton sold going about half way between the two figures. Receipts continue light. which Is a pre- dominant feature of the local market. During the past four days cottOns receiv- ed have been siEnally off in grade. the av- craze class showing well below strict mid ding which was considered an average grade up to the beginning of the present week.

Like venerable English oak. The real old
oak color IS, however, impossible of attain-

tained is either too golden a brown or too

thing satisfactorily rich and at the same
time quiet and harmonious about the real
oid oak which has so far eluded all the
efforts at imitation. Occasionally a dealer
obtains piece of old oak and then every

process is used a floor which would other

Wood Carpet Must Not Look New

TT MONG wood carpetings those known
~ as the pure oak are az present con-
I tsidered most desirable although there
is great latitude Of choice even among
persons inclined to follow the fashions IN
house furnishings. The oak carpetings
are especially popular in the strip or
block designs. A herringbone pattern is
shown at the best shop as very fashion
able, but its lines would appear to be
rather a little too much Inclined to tax
the eye. Perhaps the block pattern Is as
attractive as any. Certainly II furnishes
Ia most desirable background for rugs, and
when rugs are not used Il furnishes bet
ter than the strip of herringbOne patterns.
Some firms of house decorators have
sought to create a feeling against borders,
declaring them to be inartistc But those
are chiefly the firms who are going in for
the new art movement in house furnish
ing. a movement not always attended with
the best results in ordinary houses. where
the aim is 20 create comfortable and at
tractive interiors rather than TO conform
uainfully TO rigid artistic ideals. OF
course there are many rooms where bor-
ders are not desirable. very small rooms
or those IN which certain rugs having pat
terms not harmonious with borders are to
be used There are, in fact, many rugs
with which borders are undesirable. But
again there are rooms which are greatly
improved by borders. Good taste must de-
termine whether or not a border is TO be
used in each particular apartment. The
land-borderites have, however this much
on their side-'that the use of a border in
an apartment which should have a PLAN
floor is much more to be deplored than
the absence OF border in any apartment
could be. In other words. as in the case

decidedly clever in being rather ahead OF
the times. In light taffeta SILK or in black
silk, with very handsome embroidery on
collar and cuffs and with lace ruffies, they
are certainly extremely smart and effec-
tive, and look especially well with the new

which also are on the picturesque order.
NORFOLK COATS IN STYLE
The medium length and long silk coats
that are now seen are not so smart as they
were, The long motor coats in silk seem
rather to have put them 10 one side and
they lack the approval of popular fancy,
However. they are in STYLE and IN some ins
stances are attractive. The elderly woman
reioices in them. and in black taffeta or
heavy black silk for elderly women they
are very attractive. In the meantime the
smarter coats are Of cloth in light colora

scnbed. and there is also a most charming
fashion OF long cape or rather a medium
length cape, the sleeves Of which are in

The smaricst OF summer gowns have
an separate coats or wraps that seem to
give a finish 70 them that summer gowns
have always lacked hitherto. and the taf-
feta coat or wrap is one Of the luNuries
OF the season. They are made In a great
variety of designs and look even moro
like capes than coats. They are not bright
IN color and sometimes have wide belts and
sashes % match. They have no sleeves
or they have wide flowing sleeves that
reach the elbow. AS a rule they are
trimmed with the same material and with
out any lace. and az the same time there
