From the Bookman.
Mr. George Barr McCutcheon. unlike
these two confreres, nimbly sidesteps sar-
torial descriptions. From the beginning,
that is to say, in Graustark, he seems to
have adopted certain vagueness that
gives free play to the Imagination of his
nndaunted readers When the princess
first appears, in the wilds of Denver or
selves: "They were all dressed In trav-
cling suits which suggested something
foreign, but not Vienna nor Paris, but
far from American tastes" Later he
was puzzled, having seen the princess
last 'in WHITE to behold her In "a gar
ment of some dark material suggestive
of the night or the green of shady hill
side"
1t may have been purple dress, since
that is what artists paint in for shady
hillsides. This, by the way, is the bold
est flight Mr.. McCutcheon makes into
fashions realm. Elsewhere the princess
wears the blue coat, but not the blue
c0p A jaunty sailor hat sat where the
ever-to-be-forgotten cap had perched."
Also, She wore an exquisite gown of
white, shimmering with reflections from
the moon that scaled the mountains. {"
And later yet: Pages carried the train
of her dress, jewelled gown OF black
The court was in mourning, by the way.
Jane Gable sits: "--well-groomed and
graceful--straight and sure upon the box
her gloved hands grasping the reins,'
and that is about all, in a detailed way,
of Jane.

Manchester Cloth Market

Manchester. October 22.-The decline in
the price of cotton did not materially
affect the cloth market, which was quiet
ly firm. India offers were too low for
acceptance, but China continued to alb
sorb good quantities of standard cloths
at firmer rates. The Mediterranean and
South American trade was steady
Yarns declined an eighth without at
tracing fresh orders and sales of Egyp-
tians and Americans were both below
the average.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, October 22.-Cotton flu
lures opened steady at a decline of 3
to points on poor cables and in SYM
pathy with a lower tendency in New
York. The weather map was very fa-
vorable, showing light to heavy frosts
nearly everywhere in the western and
central sections of the cotton belt. and
this prevented any very general sell
ing, at the same time no one seemed
disposed to offer the market much sup
port In view of the bearish pressure
in evidence. After the call the demand
strengthened somewhat, due to the re-
ceipt of many kilograms from the in
terror telling of the damage done by
the cold wave. At the end of the first
half hour of trading prices were L TO
points over yesterdays close.
Selling increased again toward the
middle of the morning and the market
floor was to the effect that dlsheartened
Sunday in spite of the possibility of
frost in the Atlantics. We're +letting go
and that bear interests were hammer
Ing again. Detailed reports from the
weather that frosts were more severe
in Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas
than at first thought and that predic-
lions of yesterday to the contrary, all
states had suffered heavy to killing
frosts in addition to large areas of light
frosts. The market paid no attention
to this informa ton but fell off to new
levels for the season where the trad
ing months were 10 to 81 months under
yesterdays final prices. The close was

ALI'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL.
One afternoon last summer my
cousin invited me to go for short
trolley ride with her, as she had two
tickets Cor the ride. l accepted her
invitation. and in turn invited my
friend, Alice, to go, too. When the
car came along, we all got on. laugh
ing and chatting, as schoolgirls will.
After a short time the conductor
came around for our fares. Marion,
my cousin, handed him her tickets,
and yet he stood there. "Fare.
please" he remarked. II looked at
Marion and said, "You gave them to
him. didn't you?" and she replied.
"Yes, but he is waiting for Alice's."
"oh. yes!" exclaimed. rather
shamefacedly. feeling for my pocket

for besides the girls and the con-
ductor. all the people in the car were
watching and beginning to smile.
At length exclaimed: 'I left
my pocketbook up at Marion's! What

from home. While these thoughts

up. each one determined to get of.
but both OF US were disappointed. for
lthe car didn't stop. After a few more
corners were passed and the car was
still going. we decided TO rest COM
Portable and enjoy the ride. To onr
Joy. moreover, my Aunt Bessie got
on the car when It stopped once. and
from her we secured the money nee
essary for poor Aiice's fare, thus CIV
