small hats have been elongated, and
there is usually a seam outlined by a
heavy cord. running down the length
of the head.
| The Belgian cap, which I suggested
as early as last September as an inter-
esting new idea for the milliners to

tamong the smart set in New York and
already the large department shops are

of the cavalry and infantry branches s

khaki jackets with the cartridge
breast pockets and nipped in sides.
| The newest of small hats. however, is
the one shown in the sketch today,
which is entirely round, made of black
] satin and Is surmounted by high
black silk pompon. 1t was worn by a

Suit of Red Silk.
The crown was high. of stiffened
satin, and the brim was cut into five
wide petaI-shaped pieces. the points of
which were gathered together in the
exact middle of the top and ornament
ed there by a standing pompon. The
suit worn with it was of Bordeaux red
silk broadcloth with an immense Rus
sian collar and round barrel muff Of
beaver.
The coat was short. so was the skirt.
and the wide hem of the latter was
made of beaver. This fashion of put
ting fur to outline the end of the gar

dressmakers thought it would be. If
one wants to wear the same gown In
the spring, it is quite easy to lift the
| peltry. OF course, the initial price of
buying it may not be so easy.
| The cap shown in the sketch is not
| the only one that has an ornament in

brinns that also show a tiny tuft of
something there; it may be only a

is applied in an all-over design. Fur

slanting front edges or the blouse on

seven inches downward from tho tor

Your Money or Your Life.

Verbatim reports OF the recent speech
OF Sir Edward Holden. chairman Of the
London city and Midland Bank. in which
he advised a change IN the English bank
ing system as regards gold reserves. con-
There are practically three reservoirs OF
gold IN this country. First, the one held
BY the Bank OF England secondly. the
one held by the Joint stock banks. and.
thirdly. the one comprising the gold which
comes into the market every week from
South Africa The president OF the Reichs-
bank has a 'blunderbuss' IN addition to the
bank. which he uses to prevent gold being
taken from his bank agaiSst his wishes.
The president Of the Bank OF France Is In
= similar position. The Bank OF England
has no such weapon beyond the bank
rate, neither Is there one IN respect to
the gold which arrives from South Africa
except the price. But the Joint stock banks
have a 'blunderbuss.' inasmuch "a no one
can legally claim payment in gold from
lapd notes are legal tender and can be
paid out TO meet all claims. II would.
therefore. appear to be reasonable to ex-
pect the Joint stock hanks In this coun-
try 90 hold per cent. OF their liabilities
in gold exclusive OF their holding OF Bank
Of England notes of silver and OF their

standing difference between the banks OF
the United States and Canada and the
banks OF this country is that the former
publish their gold holdings. while the
latter do not"

A Thia Market.

For a time yesterday there was very

a stock which has recently had sensa-
tional rise. The price slumped to 81.
az compared with high day or % ago
Of 75%, and for q brief period the best
bid was only 65. A setback Of the kind
was nothing more than could be
expected In an ordinarily inactive stock
which had scored an advance OF more
than 100 per cent IN six weeks time
There has been much extremely bull
fish talk about the future OF the stock
lately, and this plus the influence of the
rise itself has had the familiar result
OF persuading persons who wouldn't look
at the stock below 40 to buy II above
10. II may be true that the stock
has been selling far too low on the basis
Of current earnings. but II II also OBJ
vious that the remarkable rise placed
the stock In weak position tech
nicaily. An advance OF a non-divtdend
paying stock under such circumstances
may go along well enough even In the
seventies provided nobody wishes TO sell.

tributed to a denial that dividends on the

The stock market yesterday was chiefly
notable for the weakness In several OF the
minor Industrial Issues In which there has
lately been something OF speculative
boom under way Thus. American Ice

in the week at 32a. General Motors
common went to 81. Az compared with n
previous high of 7JA Central Leather
sold down to 31is from 80. and simila-
weakness was shown by Railway Steel
Spring and Pressed steel Car. The de-
veiopment OF weakness In this quarter.

Speculation for the rise invariably boils
over into this class of stocks. and sooner
Or later when the general market Qulets

regards the main list. the only inference
possible From the display was that II was
holding well IN the face OF bad news,
