GOLDEN NEEDLES
They Were Used When oaiiauts ~
France Did Fancy Work.

During the old regime in France,
about which so much glamour re-
mains to us, the very men who were
living and making the history of tho
empire of Louis passed their leisure
time In a way that seems to US or
today utterly ridiculous. In all the
fancy work on which ladies employ
ed themselves the men seem to have
taken part.
Poinsinet in one of his comedies
represents a young marquis enter
ing a room where two fair darnsels
are embroidering. One is working
piece of dress trimming, the other
Marty founce. The beau examines
the embroidery with the eye OF a
connoisseur, points out here and
there the specially good touches and
Is too polite to notice any defects.
He takes "a little gold tube out OK
the pocket of his richly decorated
waistcoat and selects dainty gold
needle. He goes to the frame at
which Cidalise : working and fin
ishes the flower which she had be-
gun. From her he moves to the
sofa and, selling one end of the
fiounce, assists Ismene, TO whom he
paws special attention, to complete
her task.
At this time it was the custom or
the ladies' invariably to carry their
workbags with them to the evening
receptions, in which they had not
only their embroidery materials, but
the last novel, the popular songs,
their patch boxes and rouge pots.
., Gentlemen also carried deftly en-
broidered little bags into company.
. which held ga whole arsenal OF cut
| lery and fancy articles, such as
boxes Of different shapes filed with
lozenges, bonbons, snuff and scent
at another period the fashion of
the day was to cut out drawings
. from books and pamphlets and to
paste them on screens, lamp shades
!, boxes and vases. The skill IN this
= = was to so arrange the drawings or
: parts of different drawings - to
: produce curious or amusing ef-
feet. Then there came a season
when all the rage was for charades
and riddles, which gave a peculiarly

Venrnluu For Light

sWhen it comes to consuming
sss in large qusntities blind people
can beat their seeing brethren all
hollow" said an inspector OF the
gas company. Il know two fsmi-
fies where both husband and wife
are blind. Every jet Is turned ON
full tilt in their homes at night and
is kept going at that rate clear up
to 12 o'clock. Light and darkness
are all the same to the af1icted
ones, but they insist upon illumina-
ton brilliant enough for q reoep-
ton. And that partiality for light
is not q whim peculiar to those two
couples. Most blind people feel
that way. They demand the light,
and & all private homes and insti-
tHtions where the blind are cared
for the gas bills vouch for thu

Presented No Pronounced Features ot
 New Interest.

New York, Oct. 2O-Aside from its more orderly advance in specialties today's market, presented no pro nounced features of new interest. War shares dominated the session, with some latent strength in few of the representative rails.

Other stocks; that registered. new high quotations included Studebaker. up 3-4 to 176- 3-4, and American Woofen ? to 57 1-2. There were gains of one to three points in such specialties ais American Locomotive. Baldwin Locomotive, American Car and. Foundry, Lack awanna Steel, United States Industrial Alcohol, Distillers Securities and the Fertilizers.
 Metal shares, especially Inspiration Copper were in demand, with a re- vival of rumors of a consolidation of Inspiration with Anaconda- Foreign buying of refined copper also proved a factor in that quarter of the list Among the backward specialties were Westinghouse, General Electric | New York Air Brake and a few others which recently claimed a large meas ure of speculative attention. Consol- | dated Gas made a further decline with the approach of the time for ac- tion on the dividend.
