Spectators Get Tables.

An evidence of the hysterla which at
tends every big celebration In New
York is the fact that big blocks OF
table reservations In the most popular
Broadway restaurants have been bought
up by ticket spectators and are being
held out for extortionate prices at the
last minute.
Some of these ~lons-headed and FUR
coated gentry, forsaking for the time
their stamping grounds in front Of the
metropolitan Opera House and the
theatres, are lurking around the hotels
and watching for men who are turned
away because they neglected to apply
" months ago for table reservations.
None OF the hotel and restaurant men
can explain why this New Years cele-
bratlon Will be bigger than before. but
they all agree that 1t will. One reason
is found in the extraordinary number OF
visitors from Philadelphia, Washington,
Buffalo and Pittsburg-especlally Pitts
burg. They are coming IN from these
cities where New Years Is not made an
occasion of especially high links, and
they are bringing the coin. They simply
don't care how much they spend, and
they have let their reckless intentions be
known.
Many Novelties Prepared.
All of the restaurants have provided
novelties In entertainment or In sou.

released AT the stroke Of twelve. In

the hotel for seven or eight hours, and
the $40 is placed TO your credit for food.

reduction in wages. And all because
during the present year it has pleased
fashionable women to dress like UNI
brellas. That is to say, they have
abandoned those garments which re-
quired lace as a fitting adornment.
At any rate, this is the reason given
at Calais for the wretched condition
of the lace trade. Unfortunately for
the lace makers the outlook for the
future is far from bright.
Fashion is plotting against the Di-
rectoire mode and in favor of Louis
XVI. paniers. In order to stand up
against this new fashion the lace
manufacturers talk of turning their
attention to the making of silk tulle.
But they will first of all have to make
their peace with the rival town Of
Caudry, in the Nord, where cheap
tulle is being turned out. Apart from
the freaks of fashion America is
blamed for the present distress among
the lace workers. Formerly America
went to Calais for lace, but now Uncle
Sam decks his womenkind with lace
of his own making.-Throne and

The plain apron is cut in one piece.
It is circular and finished with belt.
The bib is separate and attached to
the belt, and the pockets are arranged
on indicated lines. The fancy apron
also is circular, but is finished with a
frill and is gathered at its upper edge

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
TRADE IMPROVEMENT NOTED
Bradstreets Reports Indicate Better.
ment In General Business Con-
ditlons Through Country.

Trade reports are rather more
cheerful. Visible evidence of expan-
sion in jobbing trade, In consonance
with the advance of the season, are
found in the reports that the large
numbers of buyers in leading markets,
especially in the West, Southwest and
parts Of the South, have taken hold
more freely, although even in the
markets of the Southwest, whence best
reports come, there are evidences OF
conservatism, based largely on the
high prices asked for goods.
"Jobbing trade at the East is SLOW
or to open up, but there is certainly
more doing in jobbing at New York,
while primary dealings are still class
ed as quiet. Inquiry at leading mar
kets fails to substantiate the exag-
gerated reports of cancellations noted
for some time past, and there are few
signs of the widely-heralded reaction
in distributive trade. Many points
report no cancellations to speak of,
several cities report countermands no
greater than normal, and only very
few report that in few lines, notably
clothing, has there been any special
effect exercised.
"The least favorable feature in the
country's trade at present is the con-
tinued sagging in export trade in
farm products, an effort easily tracea-
BILE to the high prices ruling for bread
stuffs, meats, animals and cotton. In
connection with this it might be noted
that all high prices records in West
ern markets since 1870 were broken
by live hogs this week.
Manufacturers are well supplied
with orders. Western shoe men are
running to capacity. There is rather
less pessimism in the iron and steel
trade. Reports from the Pacific coast
lumber trade are good. Collections
range from slow to fair.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending with Feb
ruary II were 269, against 249 last
week, 2S2 in the like week of 1909,
326 in 1908, 1T in 1907 and 1856 in
1906"

DRIVING AUTOS NOW.

Those who walk along the streets
where automobiles are driven most
have noticed recently that more and
more women are driving cars in the
city. On Broadway, Fifth avenue and
Riverside Drive machines are to be
seen with women at the wheel.
In the first few days of warm
weather recently there were lots of
women in autos with chauffeurs ap-
parently teaching them how to run
the cars. One man counted fifteen
such automobiles in walk of about
two hours.
A good many also are now seen
in which women alone are the pas
sengers. A woman at the wheel TAX
ing her friends about seems to be the
explanation. The women drivers don t
seem to be afraid in the least of acci-
dents and apparently are prepared to
handle any situation that may arise
or do any repairs that are necessary.
Only little while ago woman driy-
ing a car would have been the object
of much public notice. but now folks
are getting used to it.
Furthermore, it is not only the
older women that drive. One car the
other day, big imported car, too,
had girl in short dresses driving
with some friends Of about her own
age in it.
The women are to be seen in the
thickest of the traffic on Fifth ave-
nue., place that will try the soul and
the skill of the best driver. Not long
ago only the electrics were handled
by women, because they are easy to
manage and are clean, but now all
sorts of autos have feminine chauf-
feurs driving for their own amuse-

Inent. "A man in the automobile trade
said recently:
"More and more women come to us
to buy cars for their own use. Any
one who ever has had car knows
that ten times as much fun can be had
in driving for ones self as in being
driven. Once let woman see what
enjoyment may be had out of driving
an automobile and she will insist on
doing 1t.
at is a pretty severe test for a
woman driver to get along in the
crowded streets in the city, but some
Of them are marvels. AS cool as any
one could want, they are, too. Even
the slightest and frailest of them ap-
pear to have the nervous energy
needed to drive a car skilfully.
"They don't stay within the speed
limits to any extent, either, l can tell
you. They let 1t out when they can,
even some places where the bicycle
policemen are near at hand. l don't
know just how they come out with
the cops.
"I suppose they depend upon being
nice to the policeman to get them out
Of difficulties. You know a cop is
after all human and when you're nice
to him he isn't apt to be so vindic-
tive.
"Then again there are lots of girls
who think it looks very dashing and
sporting to drive car and they want
to do it for that reason. 1t takes a
lot of worrying and fussing to run an
automobile right, and some of them
come in from the first trip or so all
up in the air through nervousness. ~

GIRLS AND HOME MANNERS.

Who has not met the seemingly
charming girl who is often described
as being "quite different at home.
She is quite different in the bosom of
her family, because she is too coward
~ to display her pettishness and bad
temper anywhere else.
Girls who are pleasant to strangers
and irritable and exacting at home,
are type to be avoided and distrust-
ed, says Home Notes. Home manners
should be the test of character; and
although it is easy to dissimulate, ex-
posure will inevitably come in the
long run to the girl who keeps her
sharp tongue for her own people, and
silken speech for outsider.

MAY WOMEN SMOKE2

The question of whether or not
woman shall smoke has been much
discussed Of late. One thing that
gave it FLIP in Milwaukee was the
interesting gossip that Miss Arnold,
the cultivated Englishwoman who
lectured at the Athenaeum to the ad-
miration Of all who heard her, was
mildly addicted to cigarettes, dispos-
ing Of one or two after each meal.
Then somebody with penchant for
historical research avouched that the
mother of George Washington used
to smoke a clay pipe.-Evening Wis

Elaborate braiding appears on some
of the coats of the dressy tailored
suits.
The long white coat of rabbit or
pony is more popular than ever this
year.
Antique bracelets, set with odd and
semi-precious stones, are in great
vogue.
Short skirts are decreed for all oc-
casions except for formal afternoon
affairs.
Some of the embroidered burnous
wraps, so popular this season, have
handsome knotted silk fringes.
Fashion puts no limit upon the
width of the muff or scarf. They are
as huge as milady dares wear them.
Tiny link coin purses are in favor.
They are made so small as to fit in
the palm of the hand under the glove,
Evening frocks for young girls are
being made in very dainty dewdrop
net, lightly spangled with small
crystals and made up over ivory white
soft satin.
Costly simplicity is the ruling note
in fashion. More care is devoted to
ornamentation than ever before, but
it is of the simple" description al
ways.
Seed pearls, mixed in with embroid-
cry, put on bodices of evening gowns
and used for dainty floral patterns on
the edges of tunics and sleeves are in
style again.
The black velvet pump bow con-
tinues in favor as neck decoration.
1t is used with turnover collar, with
lace or net stock and fastened with
a long bar pin.
Feathers appear not only on hats,
but on wraps, coats and even on
dresses. Opera cloaks and hoods
trimmed with ostrich feather tips are
by no means rare.
New turbans generally follow the
fashion of last year and come we'll
down over the coiffure. They are
high and broad, and as a usual thing
modest as to trimming.
Turbans with high fiat sides sug-
gest the Napoleonic type, and softly
draped crowns bulging over wide
brims are varied endlessly from pic
turesque historic models.
The sharp-pointed waist is seen
now and then in ultra-fashionable
costumes, but it is still too radical
to be exploited freely. Whether it is
to come back to its own remains to
be seen.
Blue and lavender bugles and beads
are used for embroidery net and lace,
crepe de chine and liberty silk. A
chiffon of one color is dropped under
net of the other color, and tulle en-
broidered with the bugles is embroid-
cred over both. -
