WEEKLY COTTON
 GOODS REVIEW

New Orleans, September 27.-General resumption of spot business in the south was the feature of the week in the cotton trade, All important centers in the cotton belt posted official spot quotations and at the end of the week traders were able to get a good idea of values.
 During the first of the week the ten- dency was upward, supplies were none too liberal and buyers were obliged to bid against each other for the grades they wanted. Quotations in the most active markets advanced toward the Scent level. Later in the week of ferings grew more liberal. apparently however, only proportion to the move ment, the demand was not so keen and prices showed weakness and dropped down. The local market displayed steadiness at Sac for middling.
 Although offerings increased this week, reports from the belt indicated that farmers still were holding firmly in most cases Much more cotton was picked than was the case last week and the movement into sight was 193, POI bales, against 157750 last week In spite of all the encouragement that can be offered the farmer to hold his cotton, the trade knows that cer- tain amount must be sold. It Is ex- pected that offerings this week will show further increase, because of the approach of the height of the pick ing season.
 1t Is expected that the spot situation still will further unfold itself this week and that good idea of the strength of the producers may be gained, as well as some idea of the requirements of spinners. Exports will be watched closely. especially since they increased in a decided manner last week, the total of foreign clear ances from all ports being 29,445 bales against 13,375 the week before.
 Another attempt may be expected early this week to devise plans for reopening the future markets.

How to Cook Oatmeal

I would suggest to those who use bran bread to try a dish of bran with cream and sugar, or warm the dish and serve poached egg on it. To cook oat- meal, l always rub the stew pan with a little lard, then add cold water and oats, set over the fire and heat until 1t begins to cook. Turn off the heat and leave the kettle closely covered all night In the morning, when placed in the oven, the porridge will cook in a few minutes, as the steam has already made the oats tender l often cook 1t in the double boiler at night, allow it to be covered all night and steam; then place over the fire again in the morning for a few min- utes CONSTITUENT"
 You say a dish of bran" How is it prepared for eating? By asking this hope to secure another contribution from your pen. Your method of cooking oat- meal is admirable. l commend it to housekeepers. l doubt if it be possible to overcook oatmeal porridge We have all heard the ditty of "Porridge in the pot, nine days old" Better thus than nine minutes of rapid boiling and no soaking. It should be cooked to jelly-lilSe consist eney and be absolutely lumpless

Princesses as Artists Models

Vanity. or ambition to be depicted on canvas by so brilliant genius, led princosses of the blood. noble duchesses and queens of the stage to besiege the studio in Leicester Square of that fla nous painter, Sir Joshua Reynolds, says Tit-Bits He never lacked distinguished models for his pictures and his genius was such that while still. obscure and unknown Miss Chudleigh. who was soon to become the Duchess of Kingston. permitted him to immorta1ize her charms on canvas.
 The Duches of Manchester posed for him as Diana, Lady Blake as Juno. Miss Greville and her brother as Psyche and Cupid, Lady Waldegrave as Dido. and Lady Sarah Lennox sat for his young Greek girl sacrificing to the graces"
 Lady Waldegrave was one of Key holds favorite models. She never grew tired of sitting for him. and the same remark applies to Georgiana Spencer, Duchess of Devonshire, who also often served Sir Joshua as 9 model. Mem ton might also be made of Mrs. Sher- idan and Mrs. Siddons, who inspired some of the greatest master works of the celebrated painter.
 Some of the great ladies whose charms and beauty Reynolds immortaI- izcd also sat as models for the brush of Gainsborough, who, to quote the words of Dr. Angelo Rappoport. in 'Ta- nous Artists and Their Models" paint ed not only the delicate charms of these
 models. but also their ability and ge- nius their very souls"
 ,N In sitting ..s n7pfr'- for the various pictures of these lamous artists how ever. the distinguished ladies mentioned were only following the fashion of cen turies, for, as Dr. Rappoport points out such artists as Rubens Vandyck, Rem lhrandt and Murillo were inspired by l the beauty and grace of royal and noble ladies. who regarded 1t as the greatest honor to be allowed to sit as modcln for the great masterpieces
 which are so jealously guarded In the worlds galleries.

Entertaining a House Party

"Some of us intend to make a tremen-
 dous success of a pleasure party. My ex-
 press purpose Is to arrange a programme
 of games. etc, for an afternoon and
 evening, and I seek your assistance in
 this Could you suggest a few games
 and also suitable souvenirs for this af-
 fair? It Is to be a house party I know
 l am indefinite. but I ask for as many
 ideas and suggestions you will be kind
 enough to give me. BEN W. G."
 Why not have as the central idea of
 the evening little charade or play?
 Engage as many of the guests as you can in this. charade requires little or no
 rehearsal, if the actors are quick witted.
 The impromptu character of the affair
 makes it more interesting. l confess that
 I am puzzled by your mention of after noon and evening. It is hard to carry over a programme. And do you purpose to have supper or an afternoon tea or informal refreshments both afternoon and evening? However this may be, get up your charade, and when this Is over set out card tables for some and let those who prefer dancing have room and time for that. Make up programme in which
 each of these amusements has place, and call upon the various members of the party to help form your troupe" Like yourself, wish l could be more definite, but it is not practicable to offer more than an outline without knowing more of the circumstances and conditions under which the entertainment is to be con- ducted Will our junior members con tribute ideas for souvenirsg

T would like to send in the words to the old time song beginning "A frog went a-courting; he did ride which was requested by Mrs. E. C. C. Also, could the Cornerites get for me the words of a song of which the chorus runs: :" T hear her singing. sweet and low No songs to me such pleasure bring, I hear them now whereer I go, The songs my mother used to sing '1 would appreciate 1t very much. as I have looked in the stores in vain for it.

Book Her Mother Used

q have a music instructor. a little larger than song book, that I suppose my mother used when a girl. She has been dead 2l years, and was 47 when she passed away. The book Is entitled, The triumph by George F. Root and Ca (the rest of the word is torn away) of Chicago. What l would like to know Is what year the book was published. Could you tell me of magazine or news paper that buys civic contests for views? I have some views of a place before flowers and vines were added, then later views with porch boxes, vines and flow CTS. I should like to enter contest or use them somewhere where the civic spirit would be inspired

Hints in Fighting the H. C. of L.

q send you a few hints to help out in the present high cost of living. Sugar Is so high now I intend canning fruit juices and will then proceed to make jelly in the winter Every year when apples are cheap l make apple sauce without sugar. Use new rubbers, fill can really full; have some hot water on top of sauce It is as good as fresh sauce. To clean a chicken quickly, after singeing it put into warm water, rub baking soda on the skin, and scrub lightly with a small vegetable brush. Can anyone give me a recipe for soft caramel frosting made of dark brown sugar?
 MRS. ]. J.l M.
 Your helping hints are excellent. Any thing that lessens the pull upon the housewifely purse is benefaction. pass on your question concerning dark caramel frosting. I have never heard of if until now Cannot you make it dark enough by browning the caramel? What is the advantage of using dark brown suearq will the member who supplies the recipe enlighten us here?
