Gowns for Old Ladies'

+ rom ftarperS Bdzdf.
Much fringe and quaint shirring are
seen. even on the cotton dresses, but Of
these, I must add the most striking
products of the year are the tailor-made
lawns and other thin wash dresses These
are strictly tailored and are made up
in dark spotted and striped materials
with plain band trimming, quite as cloth
garments are They represent olc of the
most elegant forms of the simple dress
of the year, and one which some months
ago was pictured in the Bazaar though
the garments shown were tailor-made
silk ones.
For purposes for which the tailored
dress would be out of place however the
dark, Persian-printed lawns and gauzes
have come in. and these are highly ap
propriate for the elderly (being sufficient
ly sedate when properly and becomingly
chosen) in that they give life to the COM
plexion and set off the well-kept white Oh
gray hair wonderfully well. Moreover.
the vogue for these fabrics Is sure to be
developed in Paisley cashmeres and silks
and especially in varieties Of foulard
during the autumn, SO that purchases
carefully made now will prove excellent
Investments later. Printed lawn and silk
hats. roo, are quite effective when worn
by some smart women in the fifties Such
hats are usually touched ND however by
a full ribbon ornament or full fold,
or by some rich flower

Bucked Into Popularity


&fOul JudBS.
When Harry Lauder sailed some time
ago on the MauretaniaA after a long
stage run in the states, an English
officer told this story of him-a story
Lauder does not particularly like to
have repeated. When Lauder went to
London for the first time, the stage
reputation he had made in the prov
fnces had not made much of an i'm
preston on the metropolis. With a
shrewd sense of the value of strik-
ing effects, Lauder decided he would
arouse the Londoners to his peculiar
merits In a novel manner. From some
boneyard or other he procured the most
could find. On this he planned to
make his first stage entrance.
The old horse was tractable enough,
with Lauder astride, awaiting his turn
in the wings; but when the little fell
low urged him forward for the grand
entrance, there was a balk, a buck,
and Harry was ingloriously shot to the
front of the stage over the horses
head, the animal peering after him with
what might be termed an amused ex-
preston. Lauder slowly and painfully
rose to his feet, while the gallery ap-
plauded and stamped and cried Justify:
do it again, Harry! Do it againl"
Lauder rubbed his aching back, felt
cautiously of his bones, looked back
at the horse, and turning to the audi
ence, he said:
Like I willr'
And he didn't; but thereafter his
popularity was assured.

In this investing, the public has no pro-
lection on the part of the government,
on the part of honest publicity, or on the
part of it's own careful education.
In the majority of cases, a mine ought
to pay annually perhaps twenty per cent.
of the investment to be profitable. That
Is to say, the actual value of any mine
Is rarely over five times actual dividends,
paid after expenses of operation. How
many mines are capitalized on any such
real basis as that? The answer lies in
our own ignorance, and in the shrewd-
ness of the men who sell us mining
stocks. Stocks that are the best divi-
dend payers often sell at ten or twelve
times the face of the annual dividends.
Let the mine hit brief streak of bonan-
"a, and the stocks will climb still higher.
We buy such stocks, or worse; but even
a fundamental acquaintance with the
theory of mines would show us that such
an investment Is usually a bad one. In
mortgage we do not look to the interest
to pay us back our principal; in a mine
we must look to dividends to pay us
back our principal and interest also
When the mine is done, our principal is
gone. But how many mining investors
ever thought of that? And how many,
when offered a ten per cent "guaran-
teed dividend" for five years on their
money, ever stop to reflect that, for in
stance, I could take your money and put
1t in a cracker box, and myself make
money by paying it back to you ten per
cent year for nine years-and then ex-
planning what had happened to the

All sorts of methods of sailing mines,
even to the injection, with a hypodermic
needle, of strong Solutions of mineral
salts into a mining engineers carefully
sealed sample bags, have been worked.
The most honest careful and expert
mining engineers have beer deceived time
and again, and sailed right under their
own eyes. Even a bland Chinee may
be fooled. Take the instance of Z the
Mulatos mine. The bunch of Cinnamon
who proposed to buy it insisted on mill
run test on fresh-mined ore, taken out
by themselves, for a five days run. They
were not taking any chances, in their
own belief. The owners Of the mine,

ward, where he could see each ore car
that passed. He had a rather hard life
for five days on the sandwiches and
water which he took up there with him,
but he managed to drop pinch or so
of nice gold dust into every car of ore
that came trundling under him. The
mill-run was an entire success from the
viewpoint of the sellers. although not
from that of the buyers.
Principal Versus Income
ANY mine no matter how rich, or how
large. begins to be exhausted from the
time the first pick is stuck into the
ground, and all its profits ought TO De
figured on the basis of diminishing de-
posits When your deposit is drawn out,
your bank does not honor your check.
A mine is the reverse of a mortgage or
a bond The security does not remain
stable nor increase in value, but, on the
contrary, continually decreases in value.
In mortgage, six per cent is wisdom;
in a mining return it is folly A mine,
instead of being figured on the basis of
mortgage, ought to be figured on the
basis of a term annuity. That is to say,
on the basis of a wiping-out date. When
the mine is done paying dividends, there
is no return of the face of the princi-
pal invested Yet the great and gullible
public forgets this all important fact,
which differentiates mining from every
other form of busness.
There is every probability that the av-
erage investor never heard of a proper
"amortization charge" in the manage
ment of a NINE. Until he shall have
heard of 1t, until he shall have learned
something of the terms of life annuities,
he ought never to invest a cent in any
mining stock. After he actually has
learned the theory of amortization, he
will observe that almost every mining
stock listed in public prints is selling at
an inflated value. That is to say, even
the best land most subtle of mines are
overrated, not to mention the purely
wildcat ventures. Some mines may nat
urally be long lived, others short lived
