Perhaps it is more accurate to
say to dine and dance, since
most of US do both There is a
difference, though, in dining
and dancing dresses, for gowns

are made with trains, while

exciting that Vail street has witness $
ed since the spectacular rise in the
war stocks became the feature of
stock market activity Trading was
heavy from the start and although
there were periods of general realfz-

without serious reactions Bethlehem
Steel was the feature of this advance,
rising to $50. This was an advance
since yesterday of 20 from the low
point touched during yesterdays SELL
ing movement; the rise at today's high
level was 43 points.
The railroad shares became very
strong In the late trading when there
were general gains throughout the
group. The days trading reached
about one million shares. Speculation
indicated the sinking Of the Leelanaw
had been forgotten and that the un-
settlement of yesterday had had little
real influence upon the market. There
was also a large trading in some other
industrial shares, notably U. s. Steel,
which was helped by various trade
advices and the expectation Of the
