Classes 4"

A. T. STEWART. New York's
late merchant prince, said that
they were divided into three
classes: The select 10000, the
well-to-do 100000, and the more
or less prosperous million. Nine
tenths of all the fortunes are
made from the trade of the
100. 1000 and the million, because
they buy nine tenths of all the
goods that are sold. They are
the peop.e also who respond to
the advertisements and who buy
for cash and pay their bills
promptly. The merchant, or
any advertiser, who caters sue
csssiully to the 100. 900 and the
million viii get all he cares for of
the trade of the select 10000.

Smart Gowns on Simple Lines.

bodice was made with wide draped open
sleeves, bordered with shantung, the
undersleeves being of sheer null and
lace, the guimpe being also of transpar-
ent lace and null. Bunches of black
drop ornaments In silk passementerie
were placed on each side Of the bodice
fronts the edges of the bodice being
finished with the black shantung bands.
Such frock would serve as an excellent
model for costume for a matron or
older woman.
word or two as to sleeves: The new
kimono oversleeyes require the under
sleeve to be extremely full to the elbow,
but a great many of the very newest de-
signs show a long close-ftting sleeve be-
low, which extends well over the hand
in q rounded point. The elbow sleeve Is
still the leading STYLE but the close-fit-
ting race sleeve will undoubtedly be
with us before long land l should advise
that one or two of ones new summer
gowns and blouses show this feature.
In the two views of the frock Illus
trated 1 have shown both styles of
sleeve, the front view sketched showing
the short elbow length sleeve and the
reverse view the long "mitten" sleeve.
This gown was, In the model, or pale
gray pongee, but is equally practical and
effective in linen, as 1t could be easily
laundered The frock shows two at
tractive features, the clever use of but
tons, covered with the gown material,
and the little inset pieces Of colored linen
braided with fine soutache about the
upper part of the bodice. In the model
these inset pieces were Of natter blue
linen, braided with pale gray soutache,
but in linen any contrasting color de-
sired could be substituted. For instance,
II the frock is made up In white linen,
the inset pieces could be of medium or
light blue, pink, green or lavender, braid
ed in white, the buttons used down the
entire length of the back and on the
bodice across the shoulders being also Of
white linen. The sleeves of the gown
were cut in one with. the bodice and
were outlined by design of contrasting
color linen, also braided.

II one has the least cleverness In gown
ing, 1t should not be difficult thing to
be smartly arrayed this season, as many
Of the most desirable models can be
copied very inexpensively, If materials
are well chosen.
Daintiness and simplicity mark the
most desirable frocks, rather than lavish
trimmings, and although many of the
more elaborate frocks show quantities of
handwork, the expense of the model de-
pends more on the fine materials used
and the time required for the hand en-
brohfery ct cetera, than on the applied
trimmings.
Gowns designed for street wear or day
time wear at the resorts are often OF
extreme simplicity, but there Is always
some note of distinction given in the de-
sign and trimming used. One clever idea
ia the binding or use of folds OF plain
color liberty satin on foulard or taffeta,
this being especially effective when the
gown material Is of striped, dotted or
other fancy design One model of this de-
scription recently shown was In wood
brown foulard, patterned with large
dot the size of fve-cent piece. The edges
of the open kimono sleeves and the
shaned guimpe were bound with an inch
vide fold of brown liberty satin and six
hands of the satin were used about the
lower part of the skirt Little buttons,
covered with brown satin, were also used
on the bodice and girdle. The guimpe
was of cream batiste and white yalen-

models are not recommended, but the
new models which show a loose, open

good style.
Pongees, shantung and rajah silks all
make very satisfactory street gowns and
are also very much liked for coat and
skirt costumes. Self color soutache Is
often used to form graceful designs In
braiding on these costumes, this use Of
elaborate soutache braiding being evil

Another trimming detail noted on the
new imported models is the use Of shan

very smart gown showing this detail was
of very thin black voile, marked of In

lining of white mousseline over black
foundation, and the hem of the trailing

of this size, built nearly or quite square,

The fresh green leaves and soft, warm
air of spring bring with them desire to
change our surroundings, to take down
the heavy draperies. to change the entire
atmosphere Of the home, and to stamp
it with the brightness and freshness OF
the spring season. Even those to whom
the pleasures of summer country home
are denied may surround themselves
with the atmosphere Of the country and
forget the hot streets without, substitute
ing window boxes and jars Of flowers for
gardens, and putting their curtains and
furniture In summer guise.
AS to draperies and coverings, the Sim
ple designs of American make-cre-
tonnes, art tickings and dimities- well
chosen, always look fresh and light. For
plain shades there are the silkolines, and
for the heavy materials suitable for por-
there's, couch covers and the like we have
the ever-satisfactory denims and the more
expensive linens. Linen launders so well
that it is q strong point in its favor, In
spite of its greater cost.
Many cannot afford to change their fur
niture with the change of season, but
those who are fitting out summer
home or even porch, will find them
selves much attracted by the array of

kind of furniture known as American
waterproof wicker is very serviceabie.
It may be dyed anv color, though 1t is
usually seen in green. Green-grass furni-
ture is fascinating in It's variety and ar
tistic beauty; the shapes are comfortable
and very enticing, and the color makes
a delightful background for gaily -colored
cushions.
One attractive and cool porch was fur
nished entirely with the green-grass fur

with a brilliant geranium cretonne. There
were two broad low couches, with mag

Figure two shows pedestrian oxford In

commended for general street wear Pumps
are especially we'll liked this season, and
although many people do not find them
quite SO comfortable as an oxford where
very much walking Is necessary, they
are more popular than any other style OF
low shoes. Figure three shows a good
model, which may be had in tan or rus
set leather, in black kid or patent leather
or In white or colored canvas.
Figure four shows another model In
pump, and No. a more unusual cut for
a low shoe. This last model Is especially
good In colored kid or tan or black
leather. The high shoe shown In the
sketch Is considered particularly smart,
the black patent leather lower part nav
ing an upper of white kid. with black
buttons.
Shoes to match the gowns with which
they are worn will be more in vogue than
ever this season, and with white and
light-colored gowns the canvas shoes to
match are very attractive.
For general street wear tan shoes and
hosiery are in order, and have the advan-
tage of requiring less care than black
shoe, on which dust so readily shows.
Hosiery is also most important In con-
sidering fashionable footgear. The lace
and openwork styles are shown In the
shops, but are not as smart as the thin
plain weaves or those showing silk clocks
or small embroidered designs. The ho-
siery should always match the shoe In
color, except where a white shoe is
worn, when light pink, blue or other light
c0lors are permissible.

Care and Grooming
Of the Hair.

Well-groomed hair always makes one
look neat and fresh, and If the hair Is
kept fluffy and glossy a long step Is
made toward an attractive appearance.
Very few people realize how delicate
even the most tenderly cared for hair
may be. They even handle 1t roughly,
brush 1t the wrong way to make 1t fun,
and leave 1t in tangle at night, to break
with every restless movement
When taking the hair down at night
1t should always be brushed out smooth,
the scalp brushed for three or four min
utes. and the hair loosely braided. This
brushing takes the dust out of the hair
and stimulates the circulation In the
scalp. 1t is impossible to have healthy
and beautiful hair unless the scalp is
free from dust and dandruff. Brushing
and washing will remove both.
1t is a mistake to wash the hair too
often. Once month, II dry; twice. II
inclined to be oily, together with thor
ough brushing, should be suf1elent.

THE MEMS CORNER.
BY PETER PRY SEIEVLIN.
The Meaning of Stocks

Briefly, stocks are certificates that rep
resent division of ownership. The bond
was defined in a former article as mere
ly a mortgage. Inasmuch as the bond
the surest investment-cannot pay more
than the percentage specified, 1t Is the
whirligig of stocks, which dance for profit
or loss, that proves magnet for the
investor who wishes to risk and to gain.
Ordinarily stocks are divided into two
classes-preferred and common-but In
some companies there are as many as
six classes of stock. Some stock Is
called preferred" because its holders
usually have frst claim to the dividends
and In many cases first claim to the
assets over the common-stock holderSb
The modern tendency of great corpora
tons is toward common stock, and In
many cases the rights of both classes
Of stockholders are almost Identical.
For investment purposes the recognized
rating as to their value is In this order:
q) Good railroad stock.
G) Public-service corporation (gas,
street car, etc.).
(9) Industrial mills, manufactures, etc).
There Ia, Of course, no hard and fast
rule, but the above is the order of their
appeal to financial men.
1t Is not safe to buy an industrial
stock at less return than 8 per cent,
or q railroad stock at less than 4 per
cent. In cases like this 1t would be safer
to buy bonds where both principal and
interest is secure.
Bonds are best, but there are lots of
corporations who have issued stock, but
no bonds; accordingly, this stock takes
on both characteristics. As a bond, 1t is
mortgage on the property; as a stock,
1t draws dividends. This Is ideal.
To repeat, preferred stock is the con-
servative investment, because the prin-
| cipal Is more safe. Speculatively, COM
| mon is best, as the trend of the financial
| world seems to be toward making COM
mon stock rank as high as preferred. In
many concerns like the United States
Steel Corporation the idea Is to retire
| preferred stock into bonds, so that COM
mon stock will be In absolute control of
the situation.
Each share of stock gives the holder
one vote in the election of the company.
| Inasmuch as this vote must be deliv-
cred personally or by proxy, these meet
ings are usually ''cut-and- dried" affairs.
| At an election recently of a concern with
over 100000 shares out only 81 men were
present.
