Everybody's for February, through

happier vein is Edwin Lefevre's ar
ticle on Henry NJ Flagler's evolution
from a single minded money grabber
into the philanthropist who brought
prosperity to Florida. 1t is fascin-

NEW YORK, Jan. 20-There is quite
a decided difference both in style and
material between the morning and af-
ternoon costume for the street as well
as the business and the dressy cos
tune
the morning are to be found among
the rough, shaggy serge, cheviots and
homespuns. while the smooth cloths
are more used for afternoon wear.
The business suit, according to &C.
casion, being either of the heavy
or rough surfaced. In design the
morning and business suit is always
of the short plain skirt variety. The
long skirt is worn only in the after
noon and even then many women will
choose the short skirt. 1t has been
found so very practical and comfort
able that except when travelling in
ones own motor or carriage or for
an occasion needing an elaborate
gown, one sees fewer long trailing
gowns than ever before.
One of the most popular materials

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-(SpeciaD-
Continued liquidation has further un-
settled the stock market. Firm rates
for money, President Taft's railroad
and corporation bills, fears of unfavor-
able decisions by the supreme court in
the tobacco and Standard Oil cases,
been the chief unfavorab-c influences.
AS for high money, that appears to be
a settled tendency, and it is now gener-
ally acknowledged that 1910 will be
period of dearer money than 1909. This
of course, implies a general readjust-
ment of security values. AS usual the
high priced stocks are the first to feel
the effects of a fundamental change
like permanent rise in interest rates.
Security holders can easily find bet
ter employment for their funds than in
securities which bring only to AZ
per cent. A good many stocks have
been firmly held during the past six
months by insiders who were aware of
an impending increase in dividends.
Upon the announcement of these divi-
dends such holders quietly sold for the
reasons just stated, and in this way
stocks have been passing from strong
into weaker hands for several weeks
past. The public have been the chief
buyers, encouraged by the generally
satisfactory condition of business and
the reasonable prospects for it's con-
tinuance.
Wall street, however, is in the habit
of anticipating events, and Stock Elk
change values consequently often fol-
popular expectation. 1t thus happens
that security prices are declining in
spite Of the favorable outlook for the
current year Another reason for the
selling of stocks has been the publica-
ton of the two proposed bills giving
President Taft's ideas of railroad regu-
lation and Industrial corporations.
Neither of these measures We're favor
ably received. The railroad bill was
much criticised for the undue power
which it gave to the Interstate Com
merce commission, a body which is
degree of paternalism upon our rail-
road systems. AS for the bill for ma
tional corporations, that measure is
still more open to criticism, since it
contains the highly Objectionable fea-
ture of holding companies, which have
frequently proved so hazardous and
which the government has been at
tempting to dissolve. Both of these
bills show tendency towards the CEN
tralization and growth Of federal pow
err which seriously needs to be checked
A national corporation law would de-
priVe the states of much of the power
which they now exert over corpora
tions, and would tend to the develop
ment of a series of big corporations or
trusts such as would surely warrant |
revival of popular clamOr against mo-
nopolies. Fortunately there is no pros
pect of either bill passing this session |
Of congress, and the discussion which |
they are likely to provoke should re-
veal their grave imperfections and

Liquidation Has
Market WaVerinp

| General trade shows some slacken-
ing. as is usual at this season of tbe
year. The situation has also been
somewhat affected by the revival of
labor and tariff agitation. as well as
by the increasing cost of dong bust
ness. A good deal of discomfort is de-
living, out of which more or less DO
litical. capital is sure TO be made All
meat and animal products are now SELL
ing at abnormally high prices, with
little relief In sight until next season.
when an increase in the supply of both
cattle and hogs is promised Groceries
generally are selling at lower prices
than a year ago, although retailers arc
| not always giving their customers the
benefit of lower prices. Clothing is
high owing to the tariff and increased
costs of manufacture; the result be-
accept an inferior suit for the price he
is accustomed to pay. Shoes are ad-
vancing. Rents are high, and there is
little prospect of their declining until
the cost of building is reduced or the
supply of homes increased. Neverthe-
less, a great deal more is frequently
made of the increased cost of living
than is justified, especially when it af-
fords a plausible reason for an ad-
vance of wages. The cost of living is
matter largely within the discretion
of each individual. Cheaper and equal
ly efficient foods can be had, and many
individuals have become accustomed
to luxurious standards of living which
they can easily moderate without detri-
ment. Extravaganza has more to do
with the increased cost of living than
many are willing to admit. A little
economy and patience will in due sea-
son mitigate the situation and encour-
age corrective influences.
For the time being the drift of secur-

upon high level, and it's gradual de-
scent will prove a healthy featured Un-

est rates is accomplished; until the
legislative outlook improves, and I'M
which makes our leading railroad and
industrial shares more attractive to in
vestors there is little prospect of any
permanent recovery There is goodly
amount of ne Wissues impending, the
financing of which cause a better de-
mand for money, and the marketing of
which is delayed until buyers show
better appetite. The situation abroad
is generally satisfactory and the local
undertone is good. There is no reason
for taking discouraging view of the
future; and so far as the stock market
is concerned it is only necessary to
recognize that a long-deferred adjust
ment of values is now taking place.
There is also considerable anxiety as
to the outcome of the antitrust or
Tobacco and Standard Oil suits now
before the supreme court, and on which
a decision is soon expected.

will make quite the change sought for.
Although the original Of this idea was
a velvet gown, a black broadc 9th
would be a better choice, as velvet is
more noticeable and better remem-
bered than cloth; moreover the color
must be unobtrusive and dark to
fulfil it's purpose.
A woman who will spend the great

York state capital has carried out
these ideas quite effectively. An ele-

To Remove Greast Spots.
A preparation for removing grease
spots may be prepared as follows
Mix calcined magnesia with sufficient
pure benzol to make a mass that after
bit may be easily crumbled. A
small quantity of this substance is
to be rubbed upon the spot with the
finger and the small crumbs shaken
| off
You will generally find that fresh
spots may be removed by stretching
the soiled part over an embroidery hoop
and pouring cold water. The garment
may then be sponged with soap and
pure ammonia
Hot water poured through will gen.
orally remove cocoa or coffee stains,
while benzine will take out paint
Oxalic acid followed by boiling water
will remove ink, but, even if the mark
is fresh, do not use milk, as there is
danger of producing a grease spot,
while, if the garment is colored, you
should under no circumstances use
lemon and salt This latter medium
will often cause the mark to spread if
the article is not a pure white.
If, in spite of all your care, you
find that rings have formed around
the spots, they may sometimes be re-
moved by stretching the material taut
and scratching gently with the finger
nail in the opposite direction from the
ring. If this is not successful, spong-
ing with ether will often do the trick.
care should be exercised. Dampen the
seams either with a thimble filled with
water or with wet spoon Gin case
you desire them pressed Open). Have
q moderately hot iron and press the
seams until they are thoroughly dry.
In no case put a hot iron directly on
silk, and in any case it is better not
to do SO, where you are at all doubtful,
for you run the risk of making your
silk or cloth shiny, and every woman
knows there is nothing uglier than
such a result.
To Remove Shine From Cloth.
In case such a catastrophe should
occur, it can be often rectified by rub
bling with little oX-gall water, in the
proportion of one tablespoonful to two
quarts of water, and by afterwards
pressing through a clean piece of clitn
while still damp. Sponging with hot
vinegar is also considered good, while
a tailor recommends wringing out a
cloth in water holding this against d
hot iron, and the whole close to the
garment, but not touching it. While
still steaming, he rapidly brushes the
shiny parts.
Another method is to roll the cloth
in wet muslin, and after eight or ten
hours to press on the wrong side with
a hot iron through another damp
sheet

lock with rueful eyes upon the finery
that was new and fresh only three or
four months ago, and to wonder how
she can possibly piece it out until
spring This is not the time of year
when she would feel herself justified
in getting herself a new outfit, for,
aside from the expense the spring
styles are not yet sufficiently settled,
and the fall fashions are commencing
to be a trifle out of date.
Possibly she feels that, much as she
requires to be presentable she, new
ortheless, cannot afford to patronize
a professional cleanser, nor even to
send skirts and coats to a tailor for
pressing. Neat and trim she must be,
bat at the smallest cost possible.
The worst trouble with her wardrobe
seems to be it's general air of requiring
a washtub Spots have come from
goodness knows where. and light-col-
ored waists and gowns have mussy
look that is decidedly unattractive.
Dry cleansing is what most of them
require. Strange to say, the materials
used for this purpose are most of
them not dry" at all, as they consist
mainly of benzine, naptha, gasoline
chloroform. OF these, gasoline is the
cheapest, but in ordering be sure to
mention that you want it for cleansing
as in this way you will get a better
quality.
I do not suppose it is necessary to
warn you that most fluid cleansers are
infiammable, and that you should,
therefore. keen them outside when not
in use, and that they should not be
Used near a fire nor after dark If you

Der that many companies will not per-
nit you to collect insurance.
Soak Garments Over Night.
If any articles are very much soiled
put them into an air tight vessel, COW
er with the cleansing fluid, and permit
them to soak over night Many home
cleaners proceed then to rub them on
a board, just as if washing in water.
while others always rub soap first on
the particularly soiled portions.
Rinse through several clean gaso-
lines, and, in case airing should not
be sufficient to remove all trace OF
odor. put a few drops of oil of cedar
in the last rinsing. Hang the clothes
outside on the line, where sun and
air should remove any odor that may
still cling to them. If this is not con-
venient. they may be both dried and
freed from fumes by spreading out
upon a radiator or near a register, be-
ing careful, of course, that there is no
flame
When there is no further suggestion
of Odor, press each garment carefully
When the article is not very much

by pressing with a hot iron through a

is not sufficient, lay a piece of blot
