Highly irregular movements during the

The sentimental effec: of the reduction

an appearance of heaviness despite the
bidding up of a few stocks at the outset.
This manipulation was most pronounced
in Reading, Great Northern preferred and
New York Central. and apparently was
designed to conceal selling elsewhere.
When traders discovered that sales OF
this nature were being made they at
tackled the list, and the whole market
gave way. The bears widened the scope
of their selling. and stocks which had

The Pannier Prevails.

At the recent races in Paris everybody
was eighteenth century to a woman.
There were panniers, panniers every
where. The slim gloried in them because
they had no reason to fear the extra
bulk. the stout wore them in the nope Of
Disgusting their proportions under cum
ming arrangement of stuff To vary the
program some panniers occurred only
on one side of the skirt, others swelled
into an extravagant width far below the
hips. Any monstrosity is excused IL
called by the name Of panniers-a name
cut and construction.
The pannier habit also accounts for the
continued popularity Of taffeta The lat
ter was born so early In the year that it
should not have survived the coming OF
the real spring. 1t bore the heat and
burden of the dressmaker's spring, a sea
son which begins in February and has
nothing to do with tradition or climate.
In February taffeta was already in all
the shop windows: 1t played an impor-
tant part III all the new schemes and
June. contrary to all predictions, finds il
on everybodys back.
To drape panniers no more suitable ma
aterial has been invented. II emphasizes
the new bunchiness and lends quite a
professional air to amateurish efforts.
Therefore, it should have disappeared
long since from the fashionable dress
makers. and Yet. in spite of all, it sur
wives
Whatever may occur in the way Of pre-
meditated or accidental bulgings shove

tight and plain. All that has actually
happened to our friend the hobble skirt is
that 1t has gained in width in the one
place where width was not needed.

A MODERN MIRACLE.
By Ruth Cameron.

Into a certain home there came some
months ago a little woman Of uncertain
wears and not particularly prepossessing
appearance.
She was an elderly cousin of the father
of the family. Her husband and all her
children had died, leaving her "the last
leaf upon the tree" and as she was prac-
ticalIy penniless, this man felt it his duty
to offer her a home.
She had had a rather narrow life in
small country town: she had never trav-
eled much; she had worked hard all her
days at that familiar woman's task OF
irving to make two hundred dollars do
the work of nine Furthermore, she was
a plain little woman, had quiet manners
and wore the simplest Of clothes. Natur-
ally the city family who received her,
although they made up their minds to be
kind and good to her, did not expect 20
find her any acquisition to their family
circle
That was five months ago. And this IS
what has happened. She has become the
intellectual center of that family. The
father talks politics with her. while mis-
wife listens, feeling almost like an out
sider They bark back to old campaigns
with which she is astonishingly familiar
he, a man, actually Is forced to admit
that she has a better grasp than he Inc
son, who is a college senior. finds her not
only an interested but an intelligent us
tener when he talks about the new as
coveries i'm the science of chemistry IN
which he is '.majoring. The daughter.
who is reading Tennyson in high school.
is surprised to find that "auntie' can tell
her more about the great poet than Inc
tea cher herself
rto ott 10 ha a college
professor of economics as their honored
guest and it was to this insignificant APP
| pearing little woman that he was soon
addressing most of his conversation.
1t sounds like fairy story, doesn II !.
But it isn't at all. It's just little &C
count of what woman who would not be
| held down by the restrictions or nara
work, poverty or uninspirinR environ
ment was able to make out oil herselT pE
reading and studying.
AS girl this woman had only a high
school education: but she had a keen
mind and desire to learn. and instead
| of giving up all reading after marriage,
except the magazine stories and an occa-
sional popular novel. she simply Kept on
reading things worth while. She had one
| city newspaper every day. she had one
| first-class review. and two OF the best
magazines: and she had the resources OF
| the town library; and out of all these sne
| got the best they had to give.
| As a consequence, she is today a thor
oughly we'll informed woman: she is in
touch with the topics of the day; she is
keenly interested in politics; she follows
all the important scientific discoveries;
she is ardently interested in the theories
| of the political economists she reads BIZ
| ography: she likes the best in literature,
and instead of being a nondescript addi-
| ton TO this family of younger people she
/ has awakened and stimulated them.
| No. I'm not going to try to comment on
| this little story. That would be super
fious. I'll leave it to make its own COM
ment to you as it did to me.

shades, and as the frock material VIII
probably be of a sheer texture the lace
chosen must correspond. The shadow,
both in all-over and banding. are suit
able. also the nets in conventional
design.
Lace and plain brussels net are very
effective in combination. So. as a sug-
gestion for the white blouse. make the
main body of lace and trim with net.
The eighteen-inch-w wide lace Is about
the right width and from one and three
quarter yards TO two yards will be am
PIE. Measure off two lengths from twelve
to sixteen inches long. according TO the
height of the wearer-to-be. These pieces
are for the skirt. Set narrow hem on
the sides and a wider one on the bot
tom cut the remaining lace in two
through the center to form two brcttes.
and bring to q point at the waist line
back and front. Join to the skirts and
cover with lace beading. Trim the
outer edge with hem Of brussels net
and the inner one with narrow beading.
Thread this, also the belt, with velvet.
OF course, there are other ways OF
trimming One can display individual
ideas to their hearts content. as. for
instance. using frill Of lace instead
