THREAD is TO COST TEN CENTS.
Price Of Cotton Soon to Be Boosted
Again by the Combine.

New York, n. Y.-Cotton thread.
until a short time ago the most stable
IN price of all the staples, selling the
country over for . cents a spool, is to
be advanced again, so that the retail
price will be 10 cents. On May 20
there was an advance which brought
the market price to 6 and 7 cents.
Cotton thread for domestic use is
manufactured almost exclusively by
the combine. Increased cost OF raw
and an advance in wages "a
the reason given for the contemplated
increase In price. Independent manu-.
lacturers declare that neither of the
reasons is good, for when cotton was
selling much higher than it ia now
thread retailed for cents.

Medieval Leisure.

Inc women of the sixteenth century,
and earlier times had easier lives
Chan these of our generation. To be
sure there are hundred labor.saving
0eVlces today which were unknown to
hhem. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
tnelr descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt, such as we carry
On from morning till night. The
-Ellzabethan had no prejudice against
garbage in his front yard, vermin in
MS bedroom, decaying rushes on the
MOOR OF his banquet hall, or soiled
lace on his sleeves. The strength of
arm and spirit which now goes to
keeping clean was left to the medieval
lady Tor other tasks. Moreover, al.
Enough her clothing was GORGEOUS
rich with embroidery and lace and
heaVy with jewels-it was not subject
70 rapid changes of fashion. The cut
OF a sleeve or the hang of skirt was
settled for five years rather than for
nVe months. Life was free then from
tne modern terror of looking like a
last years ragbag." If cleanliness and
fashion should suddenly go out of
business, says Youths Communion
what an air of leisure would spread
over the world feminine, until some
other tyrants should arise to take the
place of those dethroned!
