DRESSM MAKING.

ures from the CT ina, and from one
stencil board as many copies as are
necessary for artistic lighting can be
made. These transparent pieces can
be slipped into the frames and remev-
ed for future time.
For the rose luncheon, when the
soft pink roses are the main china
decoration, the candle shades add to
the beauty of the table if they accu-
rately carry out the design which oc-
ours on the dishes.
When the chilo.en are reigning at
their little afternoon party and Moth.
err Goose is once more seen on the
cups and saucers, there will be added
delight to the littlo folks if Little Boy
Blue and Doctor Foster appear with a
candle behind them.
No attempt at realism should be
made in these decorations. The tones
should be put off in fiat wash and the
figures should be drawn In simple
conventional lines.
Try this. You '-ill find that the lit
tie time which it viii take to make a
set of shades will be more than re-
paid in the pleasing idea that even the
lights are linked to the table by an APP
propriate decoration.

DEMAND FELL OFF
Its Extreme prostraton in Yesterdays
Stock aMrket Was Con-
spicuous Feature.

New York. Feb. 7.-Extreme pros
tration of demand was conspicuous
feature in the stock market today
Heavy liquidation consequently made
severe inroads on prices. Last week s
selling and the resulting declines,
followed by week end rally, had in.
clined the speculative sentiment to
look for a steadier market The re-
neWed outpoulng and determined alb.
|stention of effective support threw
the speculative sentiment bacn into
the depths of depression. After prices
broke below last weeks low prices
there was no further apparent effort
to sustain the market.
The opinion was divided as to the
sources of liquidation. Some believed
that the great capitalist groups. which
accumulated constantly last year,
missed an opportunity to sell out at
the high prices by attempting to carry
their campaign into the new year.
being overcome in the meantime by
money market requirements and the
conviction that the political outlook
threatened the welfare of corpora
tions.
Another view is that the distribu
tion of last years accumulations was
effective while prices were held up
by manipulation, following which the
fall in prices is seen with compla-
cency by the capitalist groups, if not
actually fostered by protested alarm
and by recall credits, through con-
troll held over the great banking IN
stitutions. Money was easy today,
but the rapid fall of stocks induced
some recall of credits where margins
were not repaired.
The rally in prices when the bears
covered late in the day was poorly
held and the closing tone was very
nervous and unsettled The days eX-
IRENE declines ran between four and
six points for stocks wherein the bulk

their softness, combined with their
substantial weave, make excellent

Old cotton sheets make good bags
for inclosing gowns aid coats in the
wardrobe, one large sheet being suf-
fcient for two wardrobe bags An
old sheet will cut up into several
slips for use OH the pillows over the
ticking. Another plan is to take the
best parts for making sheets for cots
and cribs, where there are children,
reserying the very thin portions for
use as busters.
"1A large apron for covering the
skirt tosbc used FOR bedmaking can
be made, from hali al discarded sheet.
Every tsoft old sheets may be cut
in pieces 40 by 20 and devoted to
baby's wear.
In the sickroom there is no end to
the possibilities of an old sheet One
half laid across the bed under the pa
tient will serve as draw sheet.
Small pieces may be substituted for
handkerchief and then burned. In
infectious cases an old sheet may be
dipped in a disinfectant and hung out
