A Market In Contracts.

A further break in Chesapeake and
Ohio stock could not have been considered
in criticism of the new departure in rail-
road financing. The possibility that the
drastic measures to he taken will make a
reduction In the dividend necessary has
naturally induced tho selling both Of n
speculative and investment character. t.
this has been added a flood OF sales by
short spectators for the fail. Under the
circumstances there was practically no
support for the stock. Tho buying power
was probably derived entirely from COW
erinE sales OF spectators for the de-
cline A break OF ten points In a one
sided market OF this character II nothing
extraordinary. even with speculative sales
predominating largely. 1t Is conceivable
that an even larger break might occur
as long as liquidation by real holders
goes on. and the short ia'erest does MOI
overcrowd Its position. But the very ex-
tent Of the decline will sooner or later
induce the making of speculative pur-
chases for the advnce. After all. sim
ply by comparison with the price OF q
few days ago Chesapeake may come I,
look cheap TO some eyes. The cut In th'
dividend has not yet occurred. Their,
are levels. moreover. at which Chesa
peake and Ohio would recommend itsel
to the speculative investor who buys foi
the long pull even II those levels have
not yet been reachd.

A tall and slender woman dressed in
castor silk had the skirt draped on the
hips and completed with a castor tunic
very high-waisted. The tulle corsage was
incrusted with castor points. and over
this corsage was a second, in citron
mousseline de sole, with large blue now
ers painted on. These flowers were sur
rounded by blue steel beads. which spar

hat was OF castor MORE, edged with tulle
Of the same shade, with a Marechal Mel
rose on the very edge OF the brim to
match the enormous waist bouquet. The
shoes. OF exactly the same shade, gave
the finishing touch to this most delicate
and Partisan afternoon toilet.
Still in the varied colorings effect was
a sober toilet of a rich chinchilla tone.
The skirt, Of chinchilla satin, was much
draped at the lower part, giving the
mummy effect typical Of present-day
styles. 1t spread out on the hips in q

The corsage Of chinchilla mousseline de

spread a Medici collar Of chinchilla tuile,
cut well out at the back Of the neck.

or four or five inches from the bottom Of
the hem
About the hips the skirt Of the moment
is decidedly bouffant. / have seen sew
eral minaret tunics and many of the long.
flaring TUNES that open over narrow
skirts. Then there are panniers Of all
sorts.
In spite of the fullness about the hips,
the skirts are, in many cases, held in
just about the waist with sashes or Jokes.
This treatment lengthens the waist
A good deal Of interest has attached to
the skirt that is in reality bag. 1t is
a full skirt, and the hem OF the front ia
sewed to the back with a slit at each
side for the feet.
This skirt Is pictured in the sketch to-
day. 1t is made with a square train
which perhaps adds to its dignity. But
It is dignif1ed enough as 1t Is and needs
no excuse. It is odd, to be sure, but II
Is quite modest.
One Of the new figured silks is shown
In the sketch combined with satin.
These silks, as they were produced by
the house Of MARITIME In Paris, were the
result Of the ideas Of unframed peasant
girls. and their coloring and design were
wildly original They Immediately took
the eye Of the public, and now they are
well and widely initiated in America.
There are two full TUNES in the frock
pictured, each edged with a wide band
OF plain blue satin-blue Of bright shade
that is used In the figured silk. Loose
straps about the armholes break the mo-
notony OF the figured silk in the bodice.

BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

In mauve crepe de chine with heavy
stuffed embroidery done in a slightly
deeper tone. the graceful gown Of the
sketch is bound to please. Crepe de
chimes are at once SO thoroughly practi-
cal and effective that it is easy to under
stand the vogue they have attained.
This is a model in which bordered ma
terial can be applied il one must econo-
mize, for. of course. the heavy embroid-
cry would not be cheap. Its effective
ness is undeniable, however, and it real
" is largely responsible for the beauty
of the gown.
The blouse Is simplicity itself. 1t is
cut by a kimono-sleeved pattern, with
the sleeves cut off short and nicked out
in a point on top of the arm. Long
sleeves are then attached under corded
seam.
The back of the blouse is plain, but not
In the least scant, and the fronts are
softly surpliced, leaving a neck that
is finished with filmy ruff of net or
chiffon. rather broad strip OF the en-
broidered crepe de chine is used for the
belt and there is a short bow OF II hanG-
ing over the left hip.
What there Is Of the actual skirt may
below the knees. 1t is plain and has a
small curved cut over the foot In front.
The tunic is in three tiers, all short over
the right hip and running to about five
inches longer over the left The hrst
and third Of these are of plain crepe ue
chine gathered scantily at the top and
given a generous hem. The second founce
is heavily embroidered and is the same

When Insomnia Troubles.

There is an old saying regarding the
amount of sleep necessary for good
health that allots six hours for men,
seven for women and eight for children
but most men require more than SIN
hours sleep i'll order to keep in the best
physical condition. The chief causes OF
insomnia are Worry, grief, indigestion
cold feet, bad ventilation. lack of cxer-
else, improper food and particularly dis
ordered nerves.
Sleeplessness is often the result of hun
ger, for when the stomach is empty few
persons can sleep. A glass of hot milk
with little nutmeg in it and a cracker
or two is recommended. Raw onion
