Dictates of Fashion

The new colors are all subdued, del ieacy and refinement adding charm to their beauty.
 Jet buttons are a favOrite mode of adding the invaluable touch of black to a colored garment.
 The new felt hats are lovely, the felt in many cases being difficult to Gistin- guish from cloth
 The newest coiffure is flat in front and piled heavily over the ears. It is called the Brittany.
 Many of the handsOmest silk gauges have printed borders which work well into the new draperies.
 Wide vale serges and other coarse weaves are worn by girls more than the smooth cloths.
 The spherical button in gilt and also in silver is appearing among the nov cities in dress trimming.
 There is little limitation upon the length of sleeves, but the general ten. dency is toward shorter ones.
 Coats for fancy wear have lace in- sertion on the collar. It is usually placed to form an inset panel Again, lace is used on the cuffs, entirely cov- ering them, and a belt is designed of lace on the cloth and cut to point low at the front. All pieces are stitched to the jacket.

LUXURY

Though luxury is something which only fools go in for, the incidental crumbs thereof are what feed the null titude. It is proof that Providence doesn t wish the multitude to go hun gry when fools with knack for mak- ing money keep on being born.
 If all men were wise and luxury, therefore, a thing unknown, we might still be fed, after fashion, but the sum total of happiness would be less. Nobody would be happier except those few who have been permitted, by trial, to discover what a poor thing luxury is, while the rest of us, having nobody to envy, would be miserable.

Unnecessary VerbOsitv

yers are absurd and needless, in the opinion of laymen, who do not know that such matters must be part of the record. But in justice to courts, where memory is the only record this verbosity is often laughable. One law yer, who is really most interesting character, is always certain of his au- dience if only word gets out that he has ease to be tried. He had one, one day, in Justice Fairweather court on South Grand avenue. The defendant, DanZey' Harvey, negro boy, had stabbed a white boy, Joseph Mosbare.
 "Call Otis Brink" said the lawyer. Men in the street heard the name. Otis came. The lawyer glared at him.
 You are Otis Brink? Otis, you may tell the court your name. v
 "Otis Brink, the boy replied, a bit surprised
 "Now-ah, Otis, where do you live? ,
 In Kansas City,"
 ''Is that in Jackson county, Missou- ri?'
 "Yassir h it sure is, " replied the boy. evidently much amazed
 "NOw-ah, Otis, be careful, please. I want you to tell the court, in your own way. Otis, what Joe Mosbare, the plaintiff, did when he approached the defendant, Danzey Harvey, with ball bat in his hand and tried to hit him, and--'
 'Biect,' roared the states attor- ney. "He's leading the witness. '
 "Well, I'll change it-that was i'm. proper-T admit it-I'Il change that Now-ah, Otis, did Joe Mosbare approach the defendant with ball bat an
 'Bject!'' from the state.
 '''Jection stained, said Justice Fairweather.
 "Now-ah, Otis, you say you saw Joe strike at-'
 "Biect; he didn't say any such thing cried the state s attorney.
 ' 'Staincd,' v said the court.
 "Did you see Joe"
 '' Eject y
 'Stained.D
 ''Wel, :" the lawyer at length in, quired, "what did Joe do!"
 And the witness having, by this time a fair idea of what was expected, tes- tifed that Joe Mosbare did strike Dan. zey with a ball bat The lawyer then talked for twenty minutes about the Civil war, the undying glory of Lin coin as the benefactOr of the negro race, Pickett s charge, and finally The surrender of Lee. After which the court sentenced his client to'siX months in jail.

Half of large haddie is better than whole small one.

A SPOT ON THE WALL
 WILL MAKE YOU SLEEP
It Is a New Insomnia Cure and Has a
 Psychological Explanation

Some months ago friend informed me that he was great sufferer from sleeplessness. He had experimented with all manner of remedies-baths, drugs, exercise, dieting-but could find no relief, writes H. AddingtOn Bruce in the Delineator
 "How about the 'spot on the wal , cure?" I asked him.
 CT haven't heard of that. What is it?"
 "It's very simple, I told him, "yet very efficacious. I presume that some light from street lamp or the moon gets into your bedroom? Well, where it strikes the wall you will be pretty sure to find spots that seem to stand out vividly from the dark background. Select one of these patches of bright ness, one prelerably not much larger than a silver dollar tSettle down com fortably in such way that it will be within easy range of your vision with out straining to see it. Then gaze at it steadily.
 "Do not, however, try to stare it out of countenance, so to speak. h. stead, let the muscles Jf your eyes re- lax until the spot appears to have q confused outline. At the same time, if possible, think of nothing but the one idea-'I an, going to sleep.
 "Before long, your eyes will begin to feel tired, and they wili gradually close. Open them, and once more gaze at the spot on the wall, Again they will close. Again open them. Presently you will find it impossible to open them and the next instant you will be asleep.'
 Recently I again met him, and found him full of enthusiasm.
 ''That was splendid scheme" said he. "I sleep like top nowadays-am asleep almost as soon as I touch the pillow But l can t for the life of me understand why that should have work ed when everything else failed. "
 It "worked for the reason that had succeeded in lodging in his mind the idea that it would work. Chronic insomnia, such as my friend suffered from, is in many cases nothing more than habit, and may accurately be described as the result of frame of mind. It is distinctly a psychical rath- CT than a physical malady.

Latitude of Equator

Even the greatest of lawyers make mistakes in examining witnesses. When this happens it is, too often, the com mon error into which many lawyers fall in treating the person on the stand as if he knew nothing about anything worth knowing. Many lawyer has fallen before witness sharp attack An instance is told of Joseph H. Choate Upon one occasion Mir. Choate was ques. tioning the chief mate of the clipper ship Challenge in an assault case and finally angered him. The story was told one night at the Kansas City Law school
 At the beginning of his testimony the mate said the night was dark and rainy. Suddenly Ch0ate asked him:
 "Was there moon that night?"
 Yes, sir.''
 An, yes, a moon--'
 Yes, sir; full moon. '
 Did you see it2''
 "No, sir"
 "Then how do you know there was moon that night?''
 "The Nautical Almanac said SO l d believe that sooner than l d believe any lawyer.''
 "What was the principal luminary that night9"
 "The pinnacle lamp
 "Ah! you are growing sharp, MT Barton. "
 "I'd ought to; you we been grinding me for an hour'
 "Be civil. Now, tell me in what latitude and longitude you crossed the equator."
 "You re joking"
 "I'm in earnest and desire an an swer.'
 Can't give it.
 "Indeedl You are the chief mate of clipper and unable to answer SC simple question?'
 "Yes!-the simplest I ever had asked me. I thought every fool knew there is no latitude at the equator.'
 And that silenced Mr. Choate.

MARKET RALLY HAS MOST UNUSUAL
 EFFECT
Stocks Go Dead at Higher Prices and Trading at
 Dead Standstill

NEW YORK, April 2l.-The market today was relieved to some extent of the active weakness which sent prices rapidly downward the day before. The profound dullness which Overcame deal ings at an advanced level of prices was a more striking feature than the re eovery itself and had the effect of be- getting distrust of the recuperative powers of the market.
 The demand which carried prices ur is ascribed to the bear element in spec ulation, which has been selling stocks freely since the opening of the week and which saw profits accrued on the short side by buying.
 The rubber craze in London and the imitation of credits presumably accom- panying it are believed to be related tC the soicitude manifested by the Bank of England to continue the accumula' tion of gold reserves.
 The controller abstract of nation al bank reports for March 29 disclosed a heavily expanded state bank loans the country over. The increase in the loan item since January 3l reaches $202, 5S9,7l9, New York clearing house banks being responsible for but $23,336,4 400 oi the increase for the same period. Com parison with year ago shows that loans have increased for the whole coun try by $46S,9S2, 1925, while legal tender holdings have been reduced $43,66l, 40l.
 The heavy requirements thus revealed by the interior banks are held to ac count for the spirit of reserve mani fested in the money market at th' present time.
 Bonds heavy. Total sales, $l,9OS, 900. United States bonds unchanged.
