 WEEK TO MARRY
Cupid Hits Jacob Huber's Con fectiOnery Store Hard
 Blow

 The first was Miss Lucy Burdick, who returned from a short trip and announced that she had been married to Robert H. Smith of this city. Miss Burdick had been bookkeeper at Huber's for seven years and was a valued employe. Then came Miss Elizabeth -Quintelle. Nobody suspect ed her secret, so her employers were some newhat surprised when Miss Quin- telfe stated that she was about to give up a business career in order to be come the bride of George EngIehardt of this city.
 That was enough to keep the con versationaI ball rolling for one week, but in order to cap the climax Miss Florence ReicheP gave n@tiee that she would quit the candy business in der to join the matrimonial ranks. She blushingly refused to tell the lucky mans name, however.
 So they are training three new girls in Huber's and when It's fame as place for securing husbands Sprea dS around, the genial merchant will be overwhelmed by applicants for posi- tiouS.

DRESSES
 AFFECT MANUFACTURERS They Call for Less Material and EIin1-
 mate Fancy Petticoats

Manufacturers of materials that go into women's dresses and petticoats feel the effect that the hobble skirt is having on their trade, and the worst of the situation is, according to trade advices, that there is not likely to be immediate change in style The clOSe-ftting garment does not require as much material the Iooser gar ment used to, and silk petticoats are not worn to the extent which they were formerly. With the elimination Of the silk petticoat the demand for the material to make the petticoat has fallen off
 featuring center and the chamber of commerce of that city has recently made report as to how the present style of womens dresses has affected the silk trade in that center. Last year the silk industry of Lyons was, worth only about $80y060, GOO, while two the falling off in the trade is attrib- uted to the present style. Before this style came In, according to the report, dress required between fourteen and nineteen yards of narrow width silk whereas nowadays the minimum for the dress is said to be four and the maximum seven and one-half yards. This alone would be bad enough, the manufacturers say, but what they re- gard as more serious is that the tight fitting skirt has almost eliminated un- derskirts and that silk petticoats are no longer worn to any extent with
 tailor mades.''
 It is said that there have been oth- CT contributory causes, such as polit- ical uncertainty, bringing about general feeling of uneasiness in all trades, and of course the increased cost Of living, which has been more marked in France perhaps than any, where else. This has prevented many from spending 1uxurieS and silk dresses and underwear are not precise 1y cheap or necessaries.
 But the principal cause, on which the Lyons trade insists quite rightly of the crisis in silk is the prevailing fashion. Having once enjoyed the convenience and comparative economy of a short and close fitting skirt, wo- men are Ioath to accept any change and a reasona bly, tight skirt looks as if it has come to stay, much to the despair of Lyons.
 The silk industry always has had and always will have to reckon with fashion It is it's slave, and to meet the whims of such a mistress calls for gseat ingenuity, skill and forethought on the part of manufacturers, quail ties for which the great Lyons houses have always been famed.
 This time however, they are in a fair way to be defeated. It has been said that if Cleopatra's nose had been an inch shorter the worlds history would have been changed. If the dresses of Parisians, and, following their lead, those of all fashionab bIe women in the world, were looser and a yard two more vo1uminous, a whole trade would recover from blow that has caused it to stagger.
