Snapshots of the Carnival War
Has Provided for Wall Street

1 WED by his fellow -brokers on the

of Bethlehem Steel which cost him an
average of S35 per share. When the
boom got almost Irresistible he hied
himself off to the Canadian woods to
be out of temptations reach-tempta-

had not sold. Yesterday the stock
reached s275 SO that his profit is $780,
600. His case is not unlike that Of
the woman customer who telegraphed
to her New York broker to buy 800
shares at 10. but received a warning
not to buy it. She telegraphed: Il did
not ask for advice; I asked to have
an order executed" Her 800 shares at
ITO now show a profit of $4,000.
William Rockefeller. the controlling
force in the St. Paul railroad. has
been active lately. He admitted a
day o. two tefore yesterdays divi-
dend meeting that the roads fnan-
cial condition was giving him a good
deal of worry. Reminded that crops
in ST. Paurs territory were good. he
quickly replied: They were good last
year. but our earnings have not been
good" The roads executive commit
tee, which ordinarily decides dividend
rates, yesterday referred the matter to
the full board. A cut from a ) per
cent to per cent per annum rate
was finally agreed uron. Had the pay
ment been further reduced, the roads
bonds would have become unfit for
savings banks. Certain influential in
terests do not expect the rate to be
long held down to per cent.
Several London Stock Exchange
brokers have migrated to New York

As you will have dis covered by looking at the diagram, the material is not wide enough to cut the skirt in enc piece, therefore. you will have to cut it in sections and as a first step, these sections must be joined, the selvage edges meeting. Take single seams only and on the wrong side and press open carefully. Turn up the lower edge for hem or underface it as you have planned to do, t en form the plaits by folding on each line of smaller perforations and tapping to the. succeeding line of larger Ierforations and tapping the lines of smaller perforations nearest the back edges to meet those edges.

neck. the ends meet at the front; for the round neck, they are parted a little, otherwise there is no difference. Before laying the pattern on the material, measure it on the child for. whom it is designed to ascertain if the skirt is the correct length. Chil- dren vary greatly in height and this is always important. When you have ascertained the correct length, you will discover whether the skirt is long enough to allow for hem or is not. If it is not, you can either allow little for hem at the lower edge, or, can cut the length of the pattern and underface. It it is longer than the child requires, you can measure the exact width and turn just that width up for the hem. Lay the pattern out on the material, pin carefully into place, taking care that in each case. the straight of the goods is followed faithfully as directed on the envelope and as shown on the diagram. Trace all around the outside edge of the pat tern to obtain the sewing line. Mark all the perforations and notches, then cut as far beyond the utline of the pattern as is necessary for good seam for your material. For the linen, three- eighths of an inch will be quite suffi- cient, but for eponge, which ravels a little more readily. half or even i've 'eighths of an inch might not be too much and it will also be necessary to determine the width of the seam by the material. After cutting, carry the various markings through to the under side with the tailors' tacks that have been described so often. or, if they seem little difficult, pin the two thicknesses of the material together, over each marking, turn over on the under side and mark with chalk or a

the collar on the bias fold and the line of large perforations in the cuffs on the bias in place of on the straight; but, in these days great many materials are woven CT stamped to give the effect of bias plaid, while they are in reality straight and of course such material greatly simpliies the labor. The process of making will always be the same. Again, the dress can be made of one material throughout and if serge or gabardine were to be used, 1t would be well to treat it in that way, although there are always possibilities and advantages in combinations. They give good color effects and they serve the very practical end of helping ma terially when remaking is under consideration.

If you have decided to make it as shown in the picture, of two ma terials, it will be necessary only to lay the skirt, collar and cuffs on the plaid and the parts of the blouse on the plain, but to follow the same general plan, for the one diagram serves per- fectly for both needs.
