graceful, of the very greatest import
ance this season.
French women eat sparingly and
daintily. They drink nothing contain
ing alcohol except a very little wine
The growing habit Of American women
to drink what the men of their ac-
auaintance drink. and to eat a great
deal are the chief reasons why so many
american women lose early in life their
outhfulness Of figure. r his is one OF
The reasons French women preserve
their youthful contours.
The French woman of fashion takes
care Of her figure. She selects her COR
sets with more care than she does her
dresses. For with the right corset she
maintains her figure if good and i'm
proves il If poor. And any dress at
all looks a hundred per cent better
overNth right figure than it can over
a poor figure.
At the Bon Marche last week l was
interested in watching the numbers of
women waiting for saleswomen in the
corset department. Two American
women who asked to look at some cor
sets said they could buy equally good
corsets cheaper in America. And they
walked away They were right.
Everything ready made is better made
in America than in France. or England,
or Germany.

BIG ADVANCE IN
PRICE OF WHEAT
The Close for Week 10 to IL
Cents Above That Of
Last.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-Under war stimu-
lus. wheat made another extraordinary
advance this week. closing 1910 to
1890 above last weeks closing figures.
Closing prices today were:
September, $1.191s; December,
t1.22H, and May, $1.295a.
Revival of buying for export demand
was a constant bull factor during the
week. Agents for several European
countries were buying at the Atlantic
seaboard; several cargoes sailed for
Europe. and delayed Liverpool cables
said that all continental countries were
clamoring for breadstuffs. Another
bullish element was the rumor that
Turkey was about to plunge into the
war, interfering with the passage of
wheat-carrying vessels from the Rus
sian Danube. The main bear factor
was evidence that many farmers are
marketing their grain at the present
high prices.
Corn was heavy earlier in the week
but turned upward Wednesday, partly
on account of the advance in wheat
and partly because of reports of dam
age to the crop during the month of
August. Net gains for the week were
INC for September and 4c to 4&c for
the deferred months.
Oats protited by the upward rush of
wheat prices, gaining csc to 3Ac for
the week. Indications that there will
be let up in marketing for the next
few weeks and confidence that Can
adian oats will be shipped abroad for
better markets this year instead of
being brought into competition with
the American crop.
Provisions experienced very dull
week with little change in prices. Pork
gained 32 cents for January, the most
active month, and lard and short ribs
moved up about 10 cents.

to suit all tastes, figures and complex

In waists of both dresses and blouses

decolletage of day dresses of the past
year is passe but evening gowns are
audacious.
One important house is making
gowns on straight lines with high
waistlines. Another-in fact several
others-are making very low waistlines
both for dresses and suits.
Suits will show many very long coats
like redngotes Of other days, plus 1914

Skirts are as varied as coats and
waists Some have lengthwise plaits.
Many have deep Jokes. Others have
bayadere tuclSs. There are numerous
flounced effects, and some win have an
actual crinoline-lilSe spread at the feet.
Many new gowns recall the dress of
crusaders. Some Of these garments fall
loose. touching the figure only at the
hip line, as did the armor made of
chain links. Other garments are fitted
in moderately at the waistline.

many. designed for restaurant dinners,
