Separate Embroidery.

From the PHILADELPHIA North American
Wonderful pieces OF embroidery used
upon heavy linen dresses-the aII-white
sort-are finished and applied when done
instead OF being made upon the garment
OF material
Haf-moons and semi-circular pieces.
varying In shape and size and resembling
a small ripple IN effect, are finished along
their rounded lower edges with a binding
or false hem Of handkerchief linen. Their
whole surface is richly embroidered and
inset with net or drawn work, and they
are then basted upon bodice or skirt IN
their rightful positions. and their solid
work continued up into the material Of
the garment, making them a rich part OF

Without Innings.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Just as persistently as we follow French
fashions in dress to the exclusion Of the
more usual English. so do we absorb their
actual methods without a thought of
those Of other nations.
Now Innings are an abomination to the
Paris modiste, no matter Of what the
garment be made, while our careful Eng
fish dressmal1er clings to the percale,
and even the silesia, lining. and demands
one sort or another to work upon.
We ourselves no longer regard the lin
Ing as a necessity for clearly reasons.
We accept the silk or batlste slip as its
substitute, and depend on the bath per-
sistent'' to keep our garments clean.
Without the lining we arrive at that
certain delicacy OF the French as nearly
as American fingers can copy 1t.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMANS'
POINT OF VIEW

There is an epidemic Of suicide among
the wealthy. chiefly concerning young
women. and nobody has come forward
with likely explanation for distaste for
life under propitious circumstances. In
all the recent cases there was nothing to
cast a shadow over life. as youth, beauty.
and the means of gratifying all reason
able wishes were at hand.
It is grewsome 10 contemplate condi-
ton where nothing has appeal. 1t makes
one respect the sense Of veterinary sur
geon OF high repute who treated PAM
pered dog 10 a stiff dose OF what he be-
lieved the creature needed taste OF ad-
versity. The grateful owner OF the dog
would have been Mortified had she known
OF the neglect imposed upon her pet for
two long weeks but the wholesomeness
OF the treatment could not be doubted by
anybody who saw the creature before and
after he passed through the doctors
hands.
There is a multitude OF interesting
things in the world. so many that one
need never find life stale. With money
and leisure one can be a veritable fairy
godmother. and somebody should see that
young men and women are interested in
something beyond self. The best cure for
a diseased mind is 10 be brought face TO
face with bodily suffering. I defy any
body to feel other than grateful TO God
after a visit TO a hospital for crippled
children or an asylum for blind babies.
I had imagined that blind babies could
be counted upon the fingers TIL saw
fine new building OF many wings and four
or five stories being erected upon hill
where health and peace must reign II
was for blind babies. and I was told that
every bit Of room would be needed for
the task OF caring for this class OF unfor-
Inmates.
Next door. so 70 speak. 70 the new
building is a hospital supported by club
Of young women, an exclusive club, mem
bershlp In which stamps a girl with so
ciety's approval. even though her family
has never succeeded in forcing the doors
OF the fashionable world. There are
few things which money cannot do. as
the newly rich have discovered from time
to time. and boarding-school OF college
has often accomplished results which
eluded mere money.
The club OF young women which sup
ports this hospital works hard in fits IN
terest. They share their pocket money.
give entertainments, and beg persistently
when their own efforts fail to bring de-
sired results. The history OF the place Is
fascinating story OF unselhshness and
enthusiasm on the part Of women TO
whom the world beckoned Rllurinsly. But
/ they have been kept sweet and whole
some in nature by living In touch with
/ pain and patience and self-denial. II IS
never wise 20 remain In utter ignorance
OF the darker side Of life. Where actual
pain does not appear. imaginary suffering
IS likely 20 creep into lie. Monotony Of
any kind IS cloying. BETTY BRADEEY.

MISCELLANEOUS MARKETS
Cotton Market

NEW YORK. Aug. 2o.-The cotton market had
another phase today OF the big bull campaign
which has been in progress here since last win
ter under the leadership Of the southern bull
operators. and there a sensational advance
in the price of August cotton. The speculative
shorts who. in spite of the big prices reached
in May and July. had been waiting until the
last moment. hoping that the new crop move
ment in the southwest would lead TO the nquida-
tion of the bull holdings, became active buyers.
Offerings small and after opening at
10 e0c August deliveries quickly went up 10
l6 43c about 81 80 per bale above the closing
price of yesterday and st new high record
for the season II was estimated that the shorts
were not able TO buy over 1000 or 3 600 bales on
this big advance and that the total in
terest remaining TO be covered was in excess of
$4,000 bales rendered the whole market very
nervous and excited.
The new crop months followed the August ad-
vance rather slowly, but gradually sold up TO a
net gain of between 10 and 20 points.
Hutton's wire says: There seemed to be no
selling orders of consequence in the market AT
the start and August quickly sold up TO 5000.
