FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
COOL WEATHER RETARDs TRADE
Bradstreet's Reports Quletness In
Business In Southern Districts.

Unreasonable cool weather still
arrests retail trade and retards crop
progress in the northern half OF the
country and trade is quiet in the
Southern districts, though cotton and
fruit crops there are making progress.
Jobbing trade reports reflect quiet In
consumptive demand In a moderate
volume of recorders, which are classed
as fairly frequent, but small In the
aggregate. Fall trade as whole
still hesitates pending clear views Of
crop and price outcome.

considerable curtailment Sof output
proceeding from uncertainty as to the
latter. Collections range from slow
to fair. The weeks price movement
Is toward slightly higher range, re-

future trade in cotton goods is
backward, with operations cautious.
There Is considerable sropping around
for lower prices, with rather light
business in the aggregate resulting.
Curtailment Of operations Is still In
evidence, some estimates of the re-
tuced volume being in the neighbor-
hood Of 80 per cent. In woolen goods
trade is also backward, and there is
some idle machinery.

For the Crib Guilt.

Here is an idea which is great
saving and convenience. Nearly every
young mother makes cheese cloth and
silkoline crib quilts and the majority
use wadding or batting. These are
nice when new, but after one washing
they are almost spoiled. The incest
interlining for such quilts is flannel
cite. AS many layers as one wishes,
but two are about right for general
utility. If a non-washable outside is
desired, the flannelette may be en-
cased in cheese cloth or cotton cloth,
and then the outside may be slipped
off when washing becomes neces'
sary. l think IL this lining is once
use, the old cotton wadding will be-
come thing of the past.-Mrs. q. d.

College Blouse.

and will be found peculiarly we'll
adapted to outdoor sports and to all
occasions of the sort. 1t Is loose, al

blue, but there are various materials
that are appropriate, although linen
is always a .favorite. Cotton poplin,
and twilled muslin are favorites, and
thinning preferably consists of ma
terial in contrasting color.
The blouse is made with front and
back and is drawn on over the head,
there being only short opening be-
low the collar. The collar can be
made as illustrated, or of one ma
terial throughout, as liked. The full
sleeves are without gathers at the
shoulders and finished with straight
cuffs, but there are also plain two
piece sleeves included in the pattern
and these are gathered at the shoul-

Fashion Notes.

Green is greatly in favor for even
ing weaf.
Both short waists and pointed bod
ices are worn.
Cloth of silver and gold is the
foundation of many lace gowns.
Morning blouses are particularly at
tractive If made of striped or dotted
linen.
Very simple morning dresses of all
white dimity are most satisfactory
hot weather possessions.
In green, blue and white, piece Of

Soft satin is used for many Of the
most charming afternoon gowns, the
very deep hem being one of the dis
tinguished features.
II the collarless gown is finished at
the neck with narrow gilt braid, a
simple twill of Valenciennes or some
ruching should be added.
Collarettes are of lace, tulle, hand
embroidered linen or figure net. Some
have touches of black velvet in the
form of tiny bows on the front.
For children, the kimono frock is
solving the question of comfort and
of easy construction, for this new mo-
dol h,lttons down each shoulder and
sleeve.
Square sailor collars Of Irish cro-
chefs are somewhat newer than the
round Dutch collar. They will be worn
with some of the collarless wash
gowns.
The fichu drapery falling low over
the sleeves is one of the new features
of frocls. This drapery is rather diff
cult to arrange and not always becom-
ing to the average wearer.

Brothers the Best Matchmakers.

In many instances the brother has
been most successful matchmaker.
He does not take up the role voluntar-
lily, and perhaps it is his blissful un-
consciousness that enables him to
play the part to perfection.
The brotherless girl has fewer
chances of meeting eligible men, and
cultivating and fostering the acquaint-
ance may not be forthcoming.
True, she may have matchmaking
mother, but this may be more of a
handicap than help.
The unwilling benedict too often
discerns the part that a lnanoeuvring
mamma is playing in the affair, and
resents it; but when one of his
friends takes him home to dinner or
invites him for a week end visit he
goes without being in the least cog
infant of any danger there might be
in it for freedom-loving bachelor.
The brother is usually so blind to
the charms of his own women folk
that the idea of any one falling in
love with them never strikes him, and
when at least he realizes the truth
he does not always approve of it.
For, he argues, though man may
be an ideal chum it does not always
follow that one would like him to
marry ones sister and become a
member of the family, says Home
Notes.
But the brother has no longer any
part in the matter; his work is done.
Decidedly the girl with brothers
has more advantages, matrimonially
speaking, than the girl without She
has everything done for her without
any connivance or planning on her
own part.
Indeed, she too is often quite una
ware of it and secretly congratulates
herself on being thus chosen while Of
ten more attractive girls are passed
by.
But there Is nothing wonderful
about it at all; she owes it to her
brother and that other great factor in
making marriages-propinquity.

Lovers Quarrels.

Lovers quarrels generally arise
from the merest trifie. In about nine
cases out of ten neither side could
tell you how the wrangle came about.
There was a misunderstanding, a
word taken amiss, look that was
misinterpreted. Then the quarrel be-
gan in real earnest. The safest rule
for avoiding second quarrel, some
wise person once said, is never to
have a first. Each time the lists are
entered it is easier to rush into the
combat again.
Old writers used to say that the
Quarrels of lovers meant the ultimate
renewal of love. There is no truth in
this assertion. 1t may be that when
people become reconciled after a
quarrel they are kinder and more low.

chiIdren's Opinions of Ladies.

"What is a LADY," is a question
that a few days ago interested a
teacher on New Jersey, and she asked
her girl pupils to write short essays
on this subject. The result proved
most amusing. "A lady is one who has
servants" wrote one tiny girl. An
other said, "a lady has manners"
while still another wrote of her as a
"person who has a lawn in front of
her house." zone who is nice to her
servants" was another definition,
while fine clothes" were considered
the chief essential by still another es-
sayist. Some ladies have bad tenn
pers, but most ladies have good tenn
pers" was an answer, and one girl said
"A lady is clean and tidy and l think
she is kind" One child thought that
'lady has money and helps the
poor" zone who sends Christmas
cards to the poor" was the ideal of
an imaginative child. The consensus
of opinion was wealth, manners, large
houses, rich clothes. The most strik-
ing essay was from girl, who wrote,
"A lady is a good woman. Some Ia
dies are kind and rich. People have
two legs."-New York Press.

Renovatlnq Black Silk.

The old method OF cleaning black
silk with beer can be much improved
and can be done by any woman at
home. Strain off the coffee left from
breakfast through piece of muslin
so that all sediment disappears and
leaves a clear liquid. Rub off the silk
with a piece of old flannel and then
apply the coffee literally. 1t will re-
move all grease spots and will make
the silk have that bright look that
new silk has. The coffee is applied
to the right side Of the silk. The
goods should be allowed to become
half dry and then ironed on the
wrong side over heavy blanket

Satin Centuries.

It is said that, with the advent of
the gowns to come, satin centuries
will return. These will not be so
high, but the point in front will be
very decided and the fastening will
be ornamented with tassels or fringe.
In fact, the general idea seems to be
to adhere as closely as possible to
pendent accessories, even though the
cut of the gown will accentuate more
the curves than the straight lines of
the figure.

the choice of collar. The cheaper

straight stiffened cuff, cut like the
