Henry, DEAR" said Mrs. Newbride
to her husband the other morning, 81
wish, if it won't be too much trouble.
dear, that you'd bring me home a yard
of orange ribbon this evening.
81 don't, want it SO very wide or so
very narrow; something between an
inch and an inch and a half, or at
most an inch and three-quarters, will
be about right.
BE sure and get pretty shade of
orange, dear; and I'd prefer it with
one side satin and the other gros-
grain, although all satin or all gros-
grain will do; but l think you can
easily get the other if you look about
a little; and be sure, dear, not to get
picquet edged ribbon, but one with
just plain corded edge; and don't
get remnant; and don't get any
shade but orange; not real vivid
orange, either, but a piece that will
look well with pale green; and don't
pay too much for it; and don't get red,
or blue, or green, or pink by mistake.
You won't forget, will you, dear?.
must have the ribbon tonight"
Was it any wonder that when the
dazed Henry came home he brought
three yards of sky blue watered rib

copper markets show marked depres-
sion and in these the conditions are,
if anything, slightly better than they
were thirty days ago.
Part of the apprehensions on the
part Of financiers which was due to
fear of the presidents speeches this
week, has been allayed by assur-
ances that the presidents worst
spasm of frustrating and corpora
tion-hunting had passed, and his
speeches are to be models of conserv-
alive commonplace The copper sit
uation, which is of such vital con-
Germ to the west, promises to i'm
prove with the curtailment of prices
which ought naturally to follow the
sale of surplus stocks.
Altogether the financial outlook
is rather more cheerful than it has
been for some months, though no
sudden rise in stock values is expect
ed nor is it likely there will be any
such carnival of speculation as char
acterized the closing months of 1906.
The big winners have drawn out as
Mr.. Gates says, and it will be quite a
while before they will feel like taking

Bridal Superstitions.

Perhaps there is no time of her life
when woman is more ruled by super
stition than in the case of her bridal
attire, and nearly every girl makes a
point of carrying out the old dictum
to the letter by including in her dress
Something old, something new, some
thing borrowed and something blue"
The latter is introduced in form of an
ornament and carefullyhidden. No bride
who hopes for rosy future would, be-
sides, dream of trying on her wedding
gown in it's completed form before the
marriage takes place, while in Ger
many her superstitious scruples are
carried even further and the dress
maker invariably contriyes to leave
some unimportant detail of the we'd
ding dress unfinished, in which state
it has to be worn at the ceremony
In former years green was sedulously
tabooed on the part of the brides
maids on the score of i'll luck, but this
year touches of green have been intro
duced in numbers of cases into the
toilets of the maids of honor" either
in the form of embroideries or the
trimmings of hats.
