TRIMMINGS OF NEW LINGERIE.
Wash Ribbon AttrsetIvely Arransec
Has Good Effect.

Some OF the new lingerie is trimmed
with rows Of wash ribbon in pink or
light blue so arranged that they are
sandwiched between two rows of val
enciennes insertion. A niGhtgown, for
instance. would be finished with a
pointed yoke OF alternating lace and
ribbon. finished at top with merely a
narrow beading, with very small
bow OF ribbon to- match. II gives the
effect OF a great quantity OF graceful
color while in reality the material is
very little and the work is very easy.
A corset cover could. OF course. be
made on the same principle, although
II is better not to use quite so much
ribbon on one OF those minute gar.
ments. because II shows too much
through the sheer waists OF summer.
PetticOats. however, might be finished
with a ruffie OF wide lace and ribbon,
and the effect would be quite magnih-
cent. particularly II Dresden ribbon be
used.
One OF the chief advantages in
using ribbon in combination with lace
insertion Is that the edges may be
left as they are. while. II bands OF the
material are used instead. the edges
must be rolled-a feat which requires
an expert. and which prevents the
work being done on the sewing ma
chine.

There was n ,umul, In the city,

There was a tumult In the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering at corners,
Where they whispered each TO each,
And the sweat stood on their temples,
With the eRrnestness Of speech
As the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland shore,

Round which waves are wildly beating,
Stood boyiSh, slender form;
With his eyes fixed on the sieeple
And his ears agape with greed
To catch the first announcement

Aloh, In that high steeple,

How the old bell shook the air,
Till the clang Of freedom ruffied
The calm gliding Delawarei
How the bonfires and the torches
Illumined the nights Tepose,
And from the flames, like Phoenix,
Fair Liberty arose.

But the spirit II awakened
Still lives-ioTeveT young,

MINING INDUSTRIES
DIVIDEND SHOWING
Remarkably Good Record Made in Bad
Year by Metal, Mining and
Allied Companies.

For sixty metal mines and works in
the United States TO pay dividends
amounting to the large total of 1924 ,S94,-
341 for seven months this year--a peri.
Cd of low prices and eurtailed consump-
tion-is indisputable testimony of the
extraordinary profits that are being
earned in the great mineral industry.
By careful tabulation the Mining
World has ascertained that these sixty
corporations, with capitalization vary
ing from 800 900 to $l00,OOO,000, have
since their organization distributed
dividends among their numerous share
holders to the enormous total of $4S3,-
056,O7S the On the issued capitaiza-
ton of 1898, 4sl $50 the dividends paid
thus far show return of l21 per cent
which may rightly be called the magnet
that has attracted so many investors
in mining and metallurgical shares.
Besides the large dividends declared
by the mines and works, there is being
distributed at regular intervals vast
profits by corporations whose revenue is
obtained chiefly from the securities
which they own in operating mines and
works. For instance, during the first
seven months this year FIVE of these
ecurities-holding corporations paid div
idends to their widely scattered share
holders amounting to $4,052,330. Since
their organization these five securities
holding corporations have declared in
dividends no less than $74,202, $50,
which is equivalent to return of over
80 per cent on the outstanding share
capital of $24l 100000.
