There was only one strain on the bank
in all its career. and that was during its
last month. The daily receipts In de-
posts ran around $4,000. with 20 per cent.

cember persons who had been warned in
a dream or feared or suspected began to
draw out money. They withdrew $3.50, 900
more than they deposited that month.

would go to Boston. which showed !.
steady loss. Money charged to one store
would go 10 another. and payments made
for one thing by one store would appea r
in another as an advance for some other
thing.
In the face OF all that, William A
Marble and John $. Sheppard. Jr., receiv-
ers for che stores, and the creditors gen.
orally. are making every effort to ascer-
tain how everything stands in order to
begin the search for some powerful
financial interests willing TO assist In re-
adjustment
The Chicago store Is in a fair way to
effect reorganization which will eliminate
II entirely from the situation. Simpson

as indebted to the Chicago store about

money maker, yet that sum Is a serious
blow To ii.

seamstress in Hoburn told me that
there are some of three-score pound
apiece!"
Fancy paying such sum as G720 Il
dozen for ones collars, The origin of
the present starched collar was the
ruff. In the year 1854 Queen Elizabeth
first used a coach. Her coachman
came from Holland. He was a man
named Boenen and his wife brought
with her from that country the art oil
clear starching. Soon afterward a cerS
tain Nine. Dinghen came from the
Netherlands and started a laundry
with clear starching in London. ~
very good thing she made of it. for
the daughters of worthy citizens,
crowded to her to learn the art, and
she charged them e5 apiece. Five
pounds was a lot of money in those,
days-equal to at least go of modern
money.
As soon as starching became CONF
mon starched rufus took the place OF
the thin band of lace and, like all new
fashions throughout history, this onet
ran absolutely riot. Rufus grew so
large that they had to be supported BY
special wire frames. They were worn
nine inches deep. Men and women
adopted them. Special implements were,
used for starching them; these were
known as setting sticks struts and
.poking sticks The first two were,
made of wood or bone, the latter of
iron.
Higgins, the tailor. whose shop wass
at the corner of the Haymarket, in
vented a patent support for ruffs. and
made a fortune out of it. He called its
"Picadil,' and 1t is said that this
was the origin of Piccadilly.
Charles I is usually seen in picturest
wearing falling band of lace; but
when he first came to the throne he
wore the ruff 1t was not until thef
fourth year of his reign that he took
the. well-known lace neckwear. The
falling band became as extravagant ass
the ruff. it was made of point lace
and cost a small fortune. The Civil :
war ended this fashion, and when
Charles ii came he brought with him
the wig known as the peruke, which
covered the back and sides of the
neck. The result was that bands" of
lawn such as judges still wear as part J
of their official raiment came into
vogue.

fact that my conclusions have been formed from
