These huge hats we are forced to wear look like caricatures," observed Bettina, as we rounded the sharp angle of the Brown-Marx building, intent on a fash ionable tea room for luncheon, after a mornings strenuous shopping, with the wind blowing 8 gale, of what seemed to us at least 70 miles an hour.
 ''But what is a poor girl to do"' asked, as we reached our destination and sank wearily into our chairs, each tugging at hatpins and arranging our disheveled locks, after the manner of the wind-blown beauties one reads about Its fashions decree and if one doesn't wear the new styles one is considered o1d-fashioned and srumpy and very unsmart-"
 "If all the women wore small hats I shouldn't mind.' said Bettina, as she peeped in a mirror for last look at her chapeau. "But they won't Even the turbans are the most monstrous size, and altogether unmanageable in being pinned on when the hair is braided around the head.

VOLUME OF TRADE |S VERY HEALTHY Confidence and Activity Prevai
 In All Enterprises MORE INQUIRY FOR IRON Trading In Cotton Goods Is Restricted to Some Extent But the Hide
 Market Is Much More
 Active.

New York. January 14.--R. G. Dun & will say:
 Notwithstanding the seasonable Hull in business general conditions are fully normal, and the volume of trade as measured by bank exchanges and rail- road earnings is very heavy. There is wide diversity of reports from the different trades, and trade centers, but fundamental weakness while majority of the reports, particularly from those cities farthest removed from the in- fiuence of unsound financial conditions in the market show a healthy condi- tion of affairs.
 The distinguishing feature of the whole business situation Is the sharp contrast between the hesitation prevail ing in the security markets and the confidence and activity prevailing in productive enterprise.
 An increased demand for pig iron is indicated with buyers displaying more interest than for several weeks, and prices show . hardening tendency in some districts. Inquiry Is broadening quite generally with sales of from 4o,- coo to 50,000 tons of various grades noted at the west while business in some parts of the east shows an ap- preciable expansion, mostly In mallea- ble iron. Steel making iron, however, continues inactive, and in some mar kets basic is still available at s17.
 Considerable irregularity has devel- oped in finished lines, but some dull ness in this division is not surprising after the phenomenally heavy specify ing before last year closed. This has resulted in the accumulation of large stocks in jobbers hands, yet buyers in some instances still appear willing to make contracts for distant periods.
 Trading in cotton goods was re- stricted to some extent by unsettled conditions In the raw material market, alth ough in the face of a sharp de- cline in the staple there were large sales of print cloths at the advanced price of 4h cents for delivery during the first six months of the year. There was also a sh hortening of discounts On printed goods of staple character, fore shadowing to some buyers an advance from the base price of 5M cents.
 Considerably more activity Is noted in hides, some large tanneries entering the market. Prices were lower tlfan have previously ruled, but the de- clines were not great considering the fact that most of the packers who sold were enabled to clean out their stocks of branded varieties up to the first of the year.
 Leather continues dull and few sales of any size are made.

The Federation of American Catholic Societies at meeting held in Detroit, August 24 1904 passed the following resolutions:
 Catholics should insist that public library direc- tors should systematically purchase Catholic books and whenever librarians unable to make proper selec ton of Catholic books, the Catholic citizen should de- mand the appointment of such person will respect the rights of all.
 Catholics should be quick to appreciate the oppor- tuities of such recognition of their rights the lit erature thus provided and recommend it to others and in this way meet the objection that Catholic books not called for
 Finally that this activity to have Catholic books placed in public libraries be carried in a systematic manner, chiefly by organizations.
 The Public Library Association calls the attention of the Catholic societies in Birmingham to the above pression of their general Federation and invites their operation in securing for the public library such Catholic literature in their judgment should be placed the shelves.

PRAISED NEW GROUNDS
OF NORWICH GOLF CLUB
r. D. Pryde of New Haven, a Profess
sional, Suggests Nine Holes for the
Course of 300 Yards-No Artificial
Hazards Will Be Required.

President Willis Austin on Tues
day, in company with r. d. Pryde of
New Haven, a professional in charge
of the Yale golf and New Haven coun-
try clubs courses, who had been Sc
cured to come here and give sugges-
lions regarding the laying out of the
course on the new grounds of the Nor
wich club, went over the property
with most satisfactory results. They
covered the ground very carefully.
Mr. Pryde considers the ground of the
best and no artificial hazards will ne
required. as the natural layout is more.
like the old country land than any
place he had seen.
1t will be possible to have a 300
yard course, which is slightly in excess
of the standard length. There will be
nine holes. starting at the club house
and finishing there. The last hole VII
be $50 yards up hill meaning a diff
cult hole to play, which in golf IS de-
sirable by the players as a stimulus
for better play. The par for the course
as Mr. Fryde suggested the layout is
4-3-4-4-5-3-4-
Work will be started on the new
course at once after some of the MEM
bers have gone over the ground to see
if there are any more suggestions to
be made 1t will not be possible to
plant the grass for the plots about the
holes until fall but the grounds can
be gotten into shape and there are
some trees and brush to be cut, al
though it is desired to save all the
trees possible. On Tuesday they ais
covered a wild cactus growing on the
course with a, handsome yellow bios
SOM.
Plans for the club house are being
gotten out, but they have not been de-
ciGed upon yet Another season, now
ever, will see the club and it's course
in full operation.
Mr.. Pryde was enthusiastic over the
grounds that had been selected and
predicted an exceptional course.

A BUSY SEASON
AT THE QUAIL TRAP
Much saItpeter Burned on the Fourth.

The Woodstock Gazette, in its last
issue, had the following of interest:
The whiskered rodents last week
made a raid on Mrs. c. L. Rawson's
black orpington broilers. carrying
away several and breaking the wings
of others trying to drag them into
their holes.
Though many of the bird songs are
hushed, the constant scurrying of
parent birds for food is noted From
the east windows of the Quail Trap
one can look down into the interior
of nests of song sparrows and chip
pretty housekeeping can be observed.
So far. "spiza pusilla" seems to carry
more worms to the ever gaping
mouths, while "melosplza n1edolia"
purveys a greater variety of food. In
one tree in the hen yard are two
robins nests and king birds nest
all tenanted. The beautiful albino
marsh hawk, which delighted bird
lovers in the spring months here
mated with typical bluebacked har-
rier and found a breeding bog be-
yond our sphere of observation.
There was the usual noisy observ-
ance of the nations holiday at the
Quail Trap. AS there were no local
restrictions on fireworks much salt
peter was burned, and at night, for
the pleasure Of guests there were ma
