GOLDEN NEEDLES.
They Were Ussd When 0alIsnts In
France Did Fancy Work.

They Were Ussd When 0allants u
France Did Fancy Work.
During the old regime in France
about which so much glamour re.
mains to US, the very men who were
living and making the history Of the
empire of Louis passed their leisure
time in a way that seems to US Of
today utterly ridiculous. In all thu
fancy work on which ladies employ.
ed themselves the men seem to have
taken part.
Poinsinet in one Of his comediel
represents a young marquis enter.
ing a room where two fair damsels
are embroidering. One is working
a piece of dress trimming, the other
a Marty founce. The beau examines
the embroidery with the eye Of q
connoisseur, points out here and
there the specially good touches and
is too polite to notice any defects.
He takes a little gold tube out Of
the pocket Of his richly decorated
waistcoat and selects a dainty gold
needle. He goes to the frame at
which Cidalise is working and fn-
ishes the flower which she had be-
gun. From her he moves to the
sofa and, selling one end Of the
founce, assists Ismene, to whom he
pays special attention, to complete
her task.
At this time it was the custom OF
the ladies invariably to carry their
workings with them to the evening
receptions, in which they had not
only their embroidery materials, but
the last novel, the popular songs,
their patch boxes and rouge pots.
Gentlemen also carried deftly en-
broidered little bags into company,
which held "a whole arsenal of cut
lery and fancy articles, such az
boxes of different shapes filled with
lozenges, bonbons, snuff and scent"
At another period the fashion OF
the day was to cut out drawings
from books and pamphlets and to
paste them on screens, lamp shades,
boxes and vases. The skill in this
was to so arrange the drawings or
parts of different drawings as to
produce a curious or amusing ef-
feet. Then there came a season
when all the rage was for charades
and riddles, which gave peculiarly
good opportunity to exercise the
light and rapid wit so conspicuous
in the French. Every evening the
drawing rooms were converted into
impromptu charades. Some lady
would suggest word or phrase, and
forthwith it would be converted into
the subject of a Sprightly little play.
Many of the word games now cur.
rent with us in America had theu
origin in the necessity the French
salons were under in the last CEN
fury to divert themselves. In some
of the salons the fashion of keep
ing a daily chronicle of news, which
was too often Tere chronicle OF
scandal. was adopted. Nine. Dou
blet de PERSIAN issued bulletins
which she called "nouvelles a la
main In her apartments two reg
listers were kept. one Of the anthem
tic news received here and there by
her guests, the other of floating ru-
mors and on dts, and from these
the budget Of her chronicle was
made up and circulated throughout

The market on the morning call rather
quiet. The afternoon, however, was excep-
tionally busy.

changed, and sales were recorded.
In the bank list, Commercial National was

NEW YORK, July 22.-The principal inhu-
ence In the stock market today the grow
ing feeling that hopes Of an increase in the
dividend on United States Steel next Tuesday
were destined to disappointment. Believers IN
the stock maintain, however, that the earn
ings for the last quarter to be shown by next
Tuesdays report and the excellent prospects
for future business viii safeguard the market
value of the stock. Reports continued to be
received Of the expansion OF the steel In
dustry. 1t Is estimated that, while the present
blast furnace production OF the United states
Steel corporation Is short Of Its capacity, its
output runs actually to l07 per cent OF the
capacity In 1907. the year Of the highest pre-
vious rate Of production. The stock today
was not benefited by these considerations suf-
hciently to prevent its decline.
The laconic explanation offered by ]. p
Morgan that there are moro sellers than buy
ers OF the stock at present. failed to reassure
sentiment. In the absence OF knowledge OF
the point at which controlling support will be
reasserted, speculative holders voiced their un-
easness by letting go holdings. TWO days
ago organized support appeared when the price
goc below 72. Yesterday It was not effectively
manifest above II. Today the stock sagged to
below 10. The speculative reduction in the
level of the support gives a suggestion or sys-
ttmatIc liquidation that disturbs speculative
confidence The market started strong by rea-
son Of bears covering of shorts put on yes

develop into the proportions OF another dis
aster at Galveston.
The passing Of the danger reported today
prompted considerable rebuying Of stocks. The
market had another rally late in the day.
Union Pacific showed some strength and was
helped by news OF the improvement in +. IL.
Harriman's health.
one explanation OF the strength of various
stocks which is expected now to come forward
frequently is the assumption that Union "a

OF its Atchison preferred stock.
contrasting runor which also heard

Watermelons were slow. The market was
