Mime. Hammond, the capable dem onstrator who gave so much practical Information concerning the fitting, ad- Justing, and care of corsets, to hun dreds of Bridgeport women, at Reads store yesterday and today, returned last December from a two years trip about the world in the interests of the Bon Ton and Royal Worcester corsets.
 Mime. Hammond is considered un- usually fortunate in her experiences. as she has had the opportunity of working among the people of the vari- ous countries which she visited and so coming into their daily lives The av- craze tourist in his hurried visit to the different peoples can merely see the most apparent features, gaining no definite knowledge Of their real char acters.
 Mime. Hammond began her journey by crossing the continent and then. sailing to Honolulu, which she most emphatically declares is the most | beautiful place in the Nvorld'' From this wonderful mid-ocean city, she sailed to the Fiji Island and thence to New Zealand, where some time was spent in Rota- Rore, the most beautiful city of the island.

 f1amnond. ''seem eager to be fitted with. the proper corset. They realize how important the corset is. Ameri- can women, on the other hand, are careless about it and don't like to take the trouble which the proper care of 1 the corset entails. This is due, no l doubt, to the fact that they are more petted and their wants more catered to than are those of the Australian women
 After her years residence in Sidney, Mime. Hammond traveled all about I Aua9zshlia before journeying on to Cey- i Ion. d5ld India. From the latter coun- try, she went to Egypt, demonstrating particularly in Cairo. Crossing to It. ally she visited sNdessina. Naples, and l Rome and then went on to Gibraltar. at the Rock of Gibraltar, Switzerland, and finally Paris and London were l visited and then Mime. Hammond sailed for, home.
 .And maybe I waen't glad to get here,'s she said 'sOf course had 3 ownderful trip. and an unusually sue cessful one. I had had many expert encesan met thousands of people hut I certainly was glad to get homf again Now [ know that our corsetf are sold in every country in the worlc because I have seen them sold there.

Some people tolerate roach es and waterbugs in the kit chen, in vain belief that the rest of the family will not find it out. Perhaps they will not, but suppdse that some day you would serve a roach in the pie; perhaps then you would wish that vou had spent 2Oc for a box of Cyrus Roach Powder. It is certainly worth your while.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. December 5.-There was
renewed investment demand combin-
ed with a little trading buying in the
cotton market today, and after opening
steady at decline of points to an
advance of points active months
worked shade higher. Encouraging
trade accounts from Manchester, and
talk of furthers improvement in ex-
port demand, probably encouraged
scattering support of the late months,
while offerings were limited and there
was not enough southern selling here
to suggest any material change in the
spot situation.
Further advances in ocean freight
rates. while partly rejecting a reduc-
ton in available tonnage. are also sup
posed to indicate a further improve
ment in the volume of international
trade, and it is said that recent hedge
selling here has been by exporters
against their purchases rather than
by southern merchants:
Futures opened steady. as follows:
December, 100; March. 7.35: May, ISL /;
July, 1855; October, 1884.
