BILE effect OF European condi-
tons on the prices of goods which are
bought OF the department stores, OF
the grocer and other merchants. Mr.
Babson thinks that in many lines there
will he few or no changes, but in other
things there may be very great changes.
For instance. with foreign markets cut
of. apples this fall may be 81 bar
rel, while bananas may be 81 apiece.
In n general way. Mr. Babsons com
ments are as follows:
Il see no reason for the immediate
marking up of -four as practised by
many groccrs. There is little appreci-
able change in the wholesale price, and
the attempt Of Groccrs to mark up flour
heavily is wholly unjusttiable. None
of il comes from abroad, and much of II
il exported abroad. Hence. none of our
supply will he shut OFF while We shall
be unable to export much OF our prod
uct
Readers Of THE SuN should not get
panic stricken and now store up this

continues, | should not Ice surprised to
see -four cheaper than 1t is to-day.
This same conclusion, H5wavtr-rHr

Sc. We produce very little OF these
things in this country and are almost
wholly dependent on foreign supply.
Hence with our supply cut off, or even

Is liable To increase. Therefore, ! adj

Gus part of the garment Instead of
the plain, white satin there are rich
and brilliant brocades, or broad and
pronounced stripes, or great variety
of plaids of all descriptions from
which a choice of Innings may be
made. For general utility the white
lining will serve best.
There is plenty of room in this cape
to draw it up over the arms If one
wishes the hands free, and even so
the fronts will hang fairly straight
and the cape have the appearance of
a loose garment with flowing sleeves.
Few capes this season are capes pure
and simple, but of cape-like garments
there are many. This model may be
recommended for anyone who aspires
to the really magnificent black velvet
or velvet in colors for evening wear.
The style is suited to rich fabrics and
dress occasions, and it is unsuited to
ordinary cloths or to bulky wooden
fabrics
One may not hope to find anything
more graceful than the cape, for eve
ming wear, and the individual wearer
can improvise her own special style
in managing the cape and thereby
achieve distinction.

Lengths of silk may be bordered I'M
the same way. BY this means short
lengths of ribbon or silk which one
may have on hand are easily trans
formed into girdles. 1t seems the
smart woman can hardly own too
many Of these elegant accessories.
The striped girdle shown in the pic
ture is made of satin ribbon striped
with velvet. 1t will be noticed that
no bows and loops are used in these
particular styles, although there are
plenty of them to be found. These
girdles are decorated with covered but
tons or buckles made of the ribbon
and are fastened with snap fasteners.
Almost without exception the fash
ionable girdles are boned to hold them
in place. Even when a long sash is
wrapped about the waist and tied in
the back the girdle portion is boned
at the front and sides.

pictured here. 1t is a two-piece gar

Is set on to a surplice. 1t is the most
ample and enveloping of all the capes
which the season has brought out
The material used is a soft, heavy
black satin, with lining of white
satin, lighter In weight but equally as
soft.
The surplice portion of this garment
crosses below the bust line in the
front and hooks in the back. The ma
terial Is turned back, in the form of
revers, and provided with a ripple col
lar across the back of the neck. The
lower or cape portion of the garment
is set on to the surplice by means of
piping. In order to provide for the
ample fullness which ripples about
the bottom the cape is cut in circular
form. 1t is IL inches longer in the
back than in the front. The fronts
are rounded off and floped gradually
to the longest point at the middle of
the back.

the figure in many cases from below
the bust to the thigh, making a
straight line instead of curved line

and more popular are those from nine
to twelve inches wide, which are adj

inches wide. 1t is in golden-brown

Lengths of this MORE ribbon are
sewed together by hand in the very
tiniest of seams. In this way ribbon
too narrow for the present styles can
be used to make wide girdles.
Using the same idea, silk ribbons of
other kinds are widened by machine
stitching them to velvet ribbons. A
very attractive girdle is made by
black velvet ribbon on both edges of
colored satin ribbon or one Of brocade.
