some other persons who attended the
sale. The plaintiffs also claimed that
t. was custom of the auction room to
sell property as though free and clear,
hut the upper court states that there
IL doubt whether such custom exists.
That the custom does exist is indicated
10y tho fact that various persons In the
auction room on the day Of sale
thought the property had been sold for
an actual price of Sl32.200. and so 1t
Was reported in all the newspapers. II

neither the auciionc.r nor referee at
any time during the accepting OF bids
stated that the price offered was in

The property is In a section where
values have been receding during the

II really get most of my idess Of
style from the little coats and dresses
I buy for the kiddies," said a busy
mother the other day, 'TYou can de-
pend upon them to represent all the
newest ideas in grown-up styles, sim
pliaed somewhat, to be sure, but still
indicative Of the trend of fashion"
Especially true is this Of the present
seasons offering In Juvenile apparel.
Cunning replicas Of the modes fall
whims are the little coats, dresses and
hats offered for selection.
Wee coats show suitable adaptations
of the Robespierre collar, which Is a
long ann to call a collar no bigger
than a cuff; the fashionable single
rever is a feature Of many models; set
In sleeves predominant, and belts, ale
ways well liked for children's garments,
are especially prominent this season.

daintily beside a very young, round
face. bat the wise woman with a wrin-
kle or two will do well to wear them
only IN the evening when the lamp
light gives back TO her the toll that
time has taken.
The vogue for seed pearl is re-
fiected In the attractive hat pins that
are being shown, the bow knot
brooches, and the pretty. mounts on
two-prong hair.pins. Hat pins, BY the
way, have assumed normal dimensions
once more, and many artistic designs
are offered, particularly In gold and
silver knob effects.
Two new ideas have been deyeloped
In pins. One is called the shoulder
pima plain or engraved pin about
four inches long, which is sometimes
made about a half inch shorter and in
the long narrow buckle effect set with
semi-precious stones; the other is the
slipper pin. These, Of course, come In
pairs, and are in buckle design, but
have pins attached, 50 that they may
readily be changed from one pair Of
slippers to another, without the bother
OF sewing.

drawn into the soft belt from which
hung a sash at the left OF the front.
The skirt was laid in small plsats
about the waist and stitched dat
Much sirnpler, but altogether charm
ing, are the little dresses on which
shocking forms the main trimming.
ChaIiis was used for one of these,
which was cut all in n piece, very
much as Ia the peasants srnock. A
smart touch was given to the frock by
the over-lay side collars Of white linen,
having sharp points, which covered
part OF the shocking that formed the
waist and sleeves to the neck. The
sleeves were finished with narrow cuffs
of the linen ,and the low belt parted
In front to reveal several rows Of
shocking.

New Notes in China
Offerings

Some OF the salad sets now include
a special plate that is placed beneath
the salad bowl. White and gold sets
are well liked, since they are always
dn uuquestionable taste.
Very beautiful are the salad sets In
glassware. The glass is the most. deli
cate, fragile sort imaginable. The
plates are very nat, and the bowl is
quite plain except for the standard,
which Is Of cut glass. With these are
glass spoons and forks, the whole set
seeming most appropriate for crisp
salads with their green garnishes.
Italian p~najolica is being used to some
extent for special dishes. The soft
shades of yellow, green and blue on the
rich creamy ground Is attractive.

and open work baskets in the modern

velvet and corduroy coats. White

for play time wear, in fancy worsteds,

II Is well known that the claims
OF crop losses are in great many
instances based on actual conditions
existing in the winter wheat belt and
it Is also known that some Of the
reports have been more or less col
orcd for purpose.
Wheat may not be high enough at
the moment. in case the crop losses
are as serious as suggested by some
of the messages. but it will be well
for the average Spectator to oonsid-
er that the sensational advances here
.ast week cover a multitude of crop
Losses. 1t must also be considered
tsat the spring IS abnormally late
and that the best posted crop ex-
perts Say the grain world Will use
judgment in waiting al least two
weeks Of growing weather before 1t
passes finally on the crop prospects.
The news over Sunday as to the grow
ing plant may be unfavorable enough
to bring in new buying orders to-
.norrow morning, but il Is more than
likely thet some Of these who are
now long and who have paper profits
will make II strong effort TO change
these paper profits into actual ones.
