NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The market
showed a little inclination to activity
in the first half hour, then settled down
TO a slow, sluggish movement, with
but little business transacting and the
sentiment being rather favorably to-
ward a recession In values as means
of stimulating more movement in the
market. A pause in the market at this
time Is beneficial, as it is usually taken
advantage of to make a few bear COM
mitments to the strengthening of the
financial position.
1t is a fact that the general list pre-
sents a rather tired appearance, and If
they find encouragement the bears, who
fully understand that the market is a
one, will likely extend
themselves. The heavy decline in cotton
is slated as a bull pointer on stocks, as
it means that heavy expectation of
cotton will be made, making bills of ex-
change and releasing enormous quanti-
ties of cash tied up in the speculative
movement.

tant, averaging not more than an eighth
or quarter, with here and there a nttie
more important change, but as RUE

GOOD DAYS TRADE

Operations.

Easy money, the large amount Of
funds waiting reinvestment, and the
bargains offered on the local exchange
were responsible for a decidedly active
session of the local exchange when both
the bond trading and the operations in
stocks reached large proportions.
AS a rule, values were very strong,
and would-be buyers had to meet ad-
vanced figures in order to secure execu-
ton Of their commissions.

5 per cent bonds had been subscribed for

old per cent bonds had been ex-

tics are interesting, in view that they
are the first obtainable in relation to
the success of the recent financing

The Kind of Women Men Admire

woman to look up to him physically as
well as mentally. A man likes to feel
that he is superior TO his wife. and It
takes one with as much courage to marry
a woman larger than he is as IL does for
one to marry woman that is more in
telligent and better educated than he is
a superior height like a superior mind,
really handicap rather than an ad-
vantage TO a girl so far as getting mar
ried is concerned. II you will look about
ou you will see that the girls who have
he most beauX. and the women who hold
the matrimonial records are nearly al
ways small women with a very limited
supply of brains.
OF course, tall women are admired and
do get married, mostly to very small men.
out that is natures effort to hold the bal
lnce steady and keep up the average
height of the species. and by the same
token and for the same reason the bigger
d man is the more the little woman ap-
peals to him.
1t is, however, absurd to claim that
men, as whole, especially admire either
the short or the long type of woman. or
that her height, unless she is a dwarf
has anything to do with a girls chances
Of getting married. Cupid doesn't go
about with a yardstick. and whether a
man falls in love with young woman or
not depends upon something much less
tangible than her size.
Probably every man has a theory. be-
fore he meets her, that the divinity who
will stir his pulses will look as If she had
just stepped down from the top of Mount
Olympus, just as every man imagines that
he is a worshpper of beauty. and that no
woman who wasn't a real. genuine bona
fide Venus could ever make his heart 60
pit-a-pat.
Yet in spite of this alleged devotion to
beauty men continue TO pick out as
wives women who have no standing in
the good locker class. In fact, it is
notorious that beauties seldom make
good marriages. and that while men de-
light in burning incense before a living
picture, when they want to get married
they generally go off and pick out some
lady in the chrome style of art to take
home with them for keeps.
1t must be a wonderful pleasure and
solace to a woman to be tall. and slen-
der, and queenly in appearance, and able
to contemplate the reflection of her fig
ure in every shop window she passes
without getting heart failure; but her
looks do not cut as much matrimonial ice
as she supposes Men may be drawn
TO her by her beauty at first, but they
soon drift away unless she has some
charm more potent than mere good
looks with which TO hold them.
sympathy, comprehension, good nature,
a willingness 70 amuse and be amused
all that we comprise in the cryptic phrase
winning ways''-these are a thousand
fold more potent in securing the admira
ton of men than any height or peachi
ness of complexion. And in this is the
gospel Of hope for my short and sawed
of CORE spondent. BY taking thought she
cannot add one cubit to her stature, bu
she can cultivate a charm Of manner and
personality that would back the poor god
dess off the board.
Omaha daily bee., 1911-10-03

taking them by and large, are enamored
Of the tall and stately woman, or that
they prefer her to the little, roly-poly
girl.
OF course, viewed from a standpoint
of pure art, "a daughter of the gods,
divinely tall and most divinely fair" has
the call over her abbreviated sister. The
Gibson girl, the Fisher girl, the Christy
girl, all of the various girls with whom
we are familiar on the backs of maya
zines aid in the Sunday supplements,
would undoubtedly be about seven feet
high if they were translated into real
life. Also. they all have a lean and
hungry look which goes all right in a
picture, but it is doubtful If any man
would care Tor it in a lady love.
In this connection it is interesting to
remark that, in a previous age, when
there was more marrying going on than
there is now, and a lot more love max
ing doing, the popular ideal of feminine
pulchritude was not the telephone post
woman OF today, but the small cuddle-
some woman that was Just a good arm
full.
The immortal Shakespeare set the
proper height of woman as pust as high
as a mans heart. Dickens made his
Bella Wilfer, his Ruth Pinch, his Dora,
his Dot, all of his most adorable women
not only short but plump. All of
SCOTS heart Washers were little women.
The big women did great, heroic stunts,
but 1t was the little woman that men
loved Thackeray's favorite heroines,
even TO Becky Sharp, were all small.
These great writer's knew the hearts of
men, and they builded on the fact that
while men reverence and worship at the
shrine OF the tall, majestic woman,
ninety:nihe times out Of a hundred. 1t is
the cute. little, cunning woman, with kit
tenish ways, that can wrap them around
her finger
OF course there are many explanations
OF this phenomenon. The most obvious
is that It flatters a mans vanity for a
