BRADsTREET's REVIEW OF TRADE
Expansion Continues in Business and
Industrial Lines.

NEW YORK, Nov. M-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Expansion continues in trade and In
dustrial lines, shipments over the railways
are Increasing, idleness is being diminished,
prices in numerous lines are higher, collec-
lions are better, and sentiment is brighter
than It has been for twelve months past.
In many sections retailers stocks are
badly broken, owing to conservative pur-
chases heretofore made, and as a result
requests for immediate shipments are quite
the rule.
on this account and because OF more
reasonable weather, sorting up orders in
wholesale and Jobbing lines are of larger
volume.
Spring business Is also developing quite
freely, although widespread improvement
in this direction IL not looked for until
after tho turn of the. new year. Demand
for holiday goods is increasing. Practically

Hosiery Decorations.

Since the fad for decoration has be.
come so widespread, the girl with a
talent for fashioning flowers and bow
knots with her needle is decorating
the fronts of her hosiery from toe to
ankle with quaint designs. These are
OF natural flower tints on the delicate
hosiery worn with evening gowns and
in self tints for those matching street
costumes. Sometimes lace butter
flies and bow knots are used as in
serts, first being appliqued upon the
webbing which is then cut away from
the underside. Faded hosiery of a
hrst-class quality may be successfully
home-dyed, and thrifty young wom-
en- overloaded with passe evening hos
iery may zeasily transform it into a
sort suitable for street wear by dyeing

STRIPES AND POLKA DOTS.
Methods of Trimming That Will Make
Any Simple Frock Ornamental.

One of the pretty ways of making
simple frock ornamental is trim
ming it with an opposite design in the
game coloring.
To be explicit, polka dots are in
fashion and frocks in this design are
trimmed with wide bias bands of plaid
or striped material in the same color.
A striped frock is trimmed with a
wide straight band of polka dot mate
rial.
A plain surface is trimmed with
both the polka dot and the striped
fabric, and when the combination is
well done 1t does not really look like
a patchwork quilt.
1t can even be carried out in yokes
and stocks. as nets in fashionable COL
ors now come with a tiny polka dot of
white. 1t is usually in a small open
circle instead of real polka dot, but
1t gives the same effect.
These nets are put in tiny tucks and
used instead of lace, embroidery or
muslin.

Ribbons Must Match

Debutantes-to-be are most particular
about their ribbon accessories, and

sashes, coiffures and blouse bows no

generation are sometimes admitted.
With her Dutch-necked dinner frock
of girlish white Swiss or point desprit
the jeune file wears a Powered sash
tied trinity about her slender waist
and arranged at the back in butterfly
loops. two of which may be drawn half
way TO the shoulders. The hair bow
and sleeve rosettes may be of softest

OF the sash. but her opera glass bag is
preferably of the figured sash ribbon.

LITTLE ERRORS THAT WORRY.
How Some Of Them May Be Avoided
by the Home Dressmaker.

1t is usually the little errors in
dressmaking that are the most irri-
tat1ng and annoying to the woman
who does her own dressmaking. The
unlined waist is one of the hardest
garments to fit correctly. When
wrinkles come at the base of the arm
hole, the trouble usually is that the
armhole has been made too small
III 1t is, do not cut it out, but simply
snip 1t with the point of the scissors
to see II the wrinkles are removed.
II the wrinkles are not removed. then
trim the armhole.
Ii the waist wrinkles at the base of
the collar line in the back, see If your
belt is in the proper place exactly at
the waist line and that the line from
the center back of the belt is plumb.
If you are sure that the belt is cor
rectly placed, then snip the collar
with the point of the scissors at each
side of the center back of the collar
and wrinkles in all probability will
be removed.

Placing a Couch.

Couches are now SO much used in
sitting rooms that any arrangement
that has even spice of novelty
should be welcomed. So try putting
the couch in the corner Of the room
SO that it touches the wall at one end
and behind it. At the other end, with
its back against the divan, stand a
bookcase, which is a complete screen
to the couch. The latter piece fronts
out toward the room, so that any one
entering sees the bookcase at once,
and on going farther into the room
the couch comes into view.
