European markets have been under a great
strain and as our own market is closely re-
lated TO the foreign markets we naturally do
not care to do anything that would aggravate
the situation abroad. though of course, if our
needs become extreme there will be nothing
left for us to do but bring in the metal. FortU-
nately there are signs that easier conditions
will develop in this money market in the not
distant future, particularly as the loan market
has been materially strengthened by the heavy
liquidation that has taken place in stocks

A Shirt.Waist Secret.

TO fasten all the buttons of a
shirt waist which opens down the
back has long been problem to
the majority of women, who have
no one handy to do it for them.
Here is clever way that makes
a woman absolutely independent
of maid, mother, sister or husband.
Put the waist ''cape- wise''
around the shoulders with tho but
tons in front. Then begin button
ing the waist, being careful not to
pinion the arms to the sides, but
flnfing the waist up, SO that il
rests easily and lightly on the
neck. Then swing it around SC
that the buttons 90 to the back,
push the arms through the sleeves,
as Mr.. Man puts his into his shirt
sleeves, and you have accomplish
etl it easily with saving of time,

troubles, voices Il note that 10 ap'
prehensive of the decline Of the
American psepss.as self'govern'
ing nation. There is ne need 70
take alarm from these forecasts,
however. We believe the Ameri'
can people have hardly started in
their task to accomplish the high.
est ideal of social government.
The periodical troubles through
which the people have passed are
but incidents along the way o.
progress; they are the recurring
guiding sign along the way, and at
we pass each of these we are
shown the way to overcome and
eliminate the difficulties that beset
us. We are prone to feel that
the highest spirit of national hon
esty and pride was eyinced in the
times when our nation freed itself
from the ties of monarchial rule,
but in those days the political cor
ruptionist aud dishonest tinsncier
operated more freely than those
Of our time do. As the nation
grew and its exploltations enlarg'
ed, naturally the operations of the
dishonest also grew and thrust
themselves more and more into
public notice, but MS we grow We
also correct our public ailments.
Each generation may not be able
to perceive its own progress, but
but looking back upon those that
have successfully accomplished
their portion of this duty and pass
ed away the total may be added up
into a large gain of intellectual en-.
lighteument and social improve
ment. Selfish interests, of course,
have always attempted to block
and stay this progress. and the
people have suffered from them
but in the onward march we sweer
them aside, making the pathway
smoother than it was before.

In saying that the disturbed e.
nancial condition is due in part to
extravagant habits ex.Secretary
Shaw no doubt refers to u waste
full scattering Of money and pro-
digality in empty display. TO live
on liberal scale, according to in
come, is disirable and logical. and
is the standard reached in every
enlightened community. lntelIi-
gent thrift is entirely different
from parsimony. A miserly view
of existence is u perversion. In
prosperous times there will al
ways be some who throw their
money away to crafty for q mo-
ment a foolish vanity, but their
mistake is no greater than that of
a close-isted money breeder for
moneys sake. Of the two the
splurger gets q momentary grati6-
cation, while the greedy hoarder
loses his capacity even for that
much. 1t takes a nice analysis to
define extravaganza. The people
of the United States possess large
realized wealth, and still more in
their un developed resources.
Skimping aud mean economies are
not in their line, and happily not
in their character. They must do
things in large way in a spirit of
judicious generosity, or miss their
greatest opportunities. which
would be q reproach to themselves
and a misfortune to the world.
The mos, saving people are the
French. Their bank holds q third
of all the coined gold and their
foreign Investments exceed a bill
ion dollars. Yet they live gener.
ously and surround themselves
with art In all it forms. They not
only dress well, but make the
mode. It might be said that they
have been extravagant because
their public debt is the largest iu
