adopting the style if they saw fit.
Speaking of these patches, the black

Elizabeth possessed special names ac-

was sentimental. 1t was her sweetest
charm-the drop of dew in the heart
Of the rose, keeping it fresh forever.
Her sentiment was not sickly. The
girl who cherished dead flower her
lover had given her, would bind up his
wounds on bloody battlefield or ride

Just commonplace blue eyes, rather
muddy, inexpensive eyes-yes, they
are. But my lashes are like good

eyes they shade aren't up to the mark
Wherefore l say to every woman
Have nice eyelashes."
"It's all very we'll to say It," grum
bled the girl who hadn't any to speak
of. 1--WE all know the truism that a
face without eyelashes is like a
house without window blinds. And
you can't have distractingly pretty
eyelashes by Just wanting them. Look
at mine. Don't you suppose I'd like
to improve this scraggly growth on
my eyelids?"

promptly. "You can't have good eye

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
QUIET WEEK IN TRADE
Situation Irregular Owing to the
Weather and Other Conditions.

New k.-Bradstreet's last week
says:
Unsettled, stormy weather has ac-
centuated the quiet prevailing in gen.
eral trade, and the situation as a
whole is rather irregular. The first
of the spring seasons buyers excur-
sions are, however, attracting mer-
chants to the leading markets east
and west, and while conservatism
characterizes dealing, the feeling is
still one of optimism as to the future.
In the industries operations as a
whole are still below the normal.
Best reports come from the textile
trades, particularly cotton and WOOL
en- dress goods lines. Some light
cottons are sold ahead to October.
The metal and coal trades are rather
conspicuous for the dullness of de-
mand and the continuance in the for
mer industry of output at reduced
rate.
Reports as to collections reflect the
irregularities due to weather or the
reduced purchasing power of the
country, and are still only about fair.

States for the week ending with Feb
