COTTON.


Florence Times.
Such conflicting influences have
been at work in the cotton market
that any attempt to forecast the fu-
ture trend of the trade would be un-
wise further than to recite the prin-
cipal elements which have contribut-
ed to the present situation and to
direct attention to the present logi-
cal developments.
The principle element in the situa-
ton Is the declaration of cotton as
absolute contraband of war by the
allied powers. 1t is manifest, how
ever. that the gradual approach of
this declaration so forewarned the
market that it's actual PRONUNCIATION
occasioned no violent fiuctuation and
seems to have been adequately dis
counted by the trade. The contra
band order was published Sunday
morning; the news caused no sensa-
tion and the market yesterday in
New York after temporary decline
went back up the trail until Decem-
ber sold again at 9k with the close
steady at net gain of 1 to 8 points.
A market feature of the day was the
dearth of selling orders from the
South from which quarter it was an
ticipated there would be a rush fol-
lowing the British contraband or
der.
News from Texas and the South
west was distinctly bullish in as
much as 1t indicates much more
serious damage resulting from the
tropical storm of last week than had
been expected. Another steadying
piece of news was the statement from
a high bank official in Washington to
the effect that placing cotton on the
absolute contraband list might result
in temporary decline but would
create no serious situation The
dispatch from Amsterdam, likewise,
indicating the serious financial siua-
tion in Germany and the news of the
declaration of war by Italy upon
Turkey and the extreme likelihood
of the Balkan swing to the allied
ranks. are taken to indicate more
positively than any incidents yet re-
corded that peace in Europe is not
far distant.
All of these elements taken togeth-
cr. indicate in no uncertain manner
that cotton has vastly more strength
than the bearishly inclined would
have us believe. There is certainly
nothing in the atmosphere just now
that should make the cotton farmer
nervous. The whole situation is look
ing up. II cotton strikes the up
grade on the announcement that it
has been made absolute contraband
OF war the prospect for a climbing
market is fair to good
Our advice to the cotton farmer is
to sell only when absolutely neces-
sary and hold and store every bale
that can be withheld from the mar
ket.

with turn-doEvn collar and the short sleeves are gathered at the elbows ana finished with narrow friIls. The ap- piled front. is pleated into deep belt of self-rnateriaI and closes at the left side of the front.
 Pussy willow and chiffon taffeta come wider than the plain taffetas, and, although they cost a little more. they are more economical in the end It re- quires but 1A yard of 44-inch silk to make this waist, and much can be saved by the proper handling Of the material when cutting. The back, col lar and applied front are laid on a lengthwise fold of the silk so that these sections will be seamless. If tiny tucks. shirrings or extra ornanention are to be added to the applied front it is better to do this before the pattern is laid. upon the goods. In this even the silk is folded just the same and the tissue placed into position along the fold.
 The front, sleeve, undertaking and belt all cut double are laid on length wise thread of the material. For a " shaped neck without revers cut out the neck edge of the front on small 70" perfasations. Provision is also made for regulating the length of the sleeve.
 The touch of brown added in the piping gives the waist an exquisite touch of chic. Of course the model is suitable to development in less expen- sive materials, and next to taffeta there is nothing more serviceable than China silk.

WOMEN AS DRIVERS
 OF AUTOMOBILES

ItAis beingremarked In many places this spring. that a largely increased number of women are driving auto mobiles. In many cases one sees the women of the house operating the machine, while the man is the pass ienger. Cautious persons have some times said that women could not lhe relied on. to keep their headsAin sud- den emergencies. Yet the quick in- tuition that women are traditionally supposed to possess should be ss val- 1aBble gift in a mix-up.
 The woman driver is natural out growth of an athletic age. The girl
 who plays lawn tennis and golf, and who bowls or sw4rnss is not going to remain content with Jouncing up and down in the back@seataof an automo- bile She may not know as much about tools as did her mother, who was more apt to have operated al least a sewing machine and could perform handy jobs of repairs about the house. But for that matter the average man is helpless on any job Of tinkering. According to tradition womentare supposed to be more polite than men. If they live up to their reputation, they will be popular on the road. where courtesy is far from being universal

New York, May 24.-Mfss Blanche Dorothy Cromwell, a nurse, of whom 1t is said at the Charles B. Towns "she was too pretty for us to employ regularly, although good nurse,' and H. Brenner Stedman, son of the se- nior partner of Stedman & Redheld, bankers and brokers, of Hartford, Ct, left No. 6A West Efghty-fourth street Saturday morning for City Hall.
 As Miss Cromwell was buttoning her gloves before starting she called Mrs. Nora Lewis, her landlady, aside man were going downtown to get mar ried.
 At 1880 that afternoon Mrs Lewas's telephone rang. After she answered 1t she said Miss Cromwell had tele- phoned: You can call me Mrs. Sted- man now. We have just been mar ried.''
 To go back a bit. Something like a month ago a man described as lone of New York's most eminent physicians sent young MT. Stedman to the Towns hospital, where he began a courss of treatment for alcoholism
 Miss Cromwell was assigned as his nurse.
 Stadman talked much of the wealth of himself and his family; he spoke of his fathers eminent position in the financial world of Hartford, and he entertained Miss Cromwell and others with stories of the ''good times'' he had had with his fdear friends, Win cent Astor Herman OeIrichs'' and other men of wealth and fashion here. He was permitted the use of the teIe- phone and he called them up one after the other.

When, it's b1owin'. when it's snowin'
 An the day is drab an gray, Then I love to play with sunbeams,

 I'm a-roIlin' in the day, An I'm dreamin' on the bosom
 Of good old summer day. I can feed it, I can hear it,
 In the marrer of my bones, An I've opened up my bein'

 That I wouldn't sell for cash. With a witch of necromancy
 Who can beat me all to smash, I'b a-cheerin' up my spirits
 In the twinkle and the blue Of the old elm droopin' over
 With the angels peepin' through. I can feel it, I can smell it. 1.

 With 8 brook a-singfn' nigh, An I'm rock1n' in the cradle
 Of the old blue summer sky. I'm ay-rockiu', Pm a-rockin', An I've taken off my shoes, An I'm bound round in glory
 An I'm doin, as I choose In the simmer an the glimmer
 Of the drowsy- hearted noon, With the dronin' pipes of summer
 Playin' with a beetles croon. It is dreary, Pm weary
 Of the winter drab an gray, I'm a-ronping with a fairy Of a good old summer day; We're a-strolIin' in the clover,

 CAnd feel the message is true); All that your soul has yearned for, dear,
 Is coming. yes, coming to you.'' No man is inclined to slap at nature for giving him a, good looking face. 1 On the contrary, he is apt to feel a certain exultatton over it, but, never theless, it is a handicap to him in many an instance in the marriage race.
 What woman does not admire g. man with a fine physique and face good to see? But he finds difficulties the plain man does not encounter in his search for a wife. Plain women are fearful that there would be too much of a contrast between them were they to wed. If a woman has the slightest ta1nt of jealousy in her makeup she reasons and with much judgment, whether or no she would ever find true happiness with a handsome heart mate. Would not the admiration for | him, which she could see in other wo- mems eyes, cause her merri1nent in- stead of pleasure and his slightest at tention to them bring a stab of pain to her heart?
 Mine times out of ten, it is the ex- ceedingIy handsome man who proves to be not proof against the wiles of the pretty feminine creatures who SOONI0AOO1A44A5

Whether or not he can succeed in making his wife a contenteA woman rests chiefly in his ability to resist being dabtered by centrating his devotion upon the one whom he has vowed to love and cher ishenext to his God.
 It has been said that the most beau tfful of women lose their charm soon est, scarcely a semblance of 1t re- maintng with them to old age and that honely women grow fairer and sweeter with the years. I do not add or detract anything from this theory save to remark that what is said of the goose might equally apply to the gander. In other words, the same transfoTmatfon is quite liable to take place in the handsome man. Unless he has the true love of a wife who cherishes him to depend upon. he finds youth has been a delusion, middle age unsatfsfying. and old age a burden and a regret.
