Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, July 6-Whether or not
women demand a great number of sepa-
rate blouses when the summer season
begins, the shops offer them. and the
designers here and abroad exploit
every new caprice that passes through
their brains.
There is nothing startlingly new in
the fabrics offered: the main idea seems
TO be to supply as many accessories as
possible to the sport skirt and coat In
the form of blouses and collars
Another compelling reason for the
variety of separate waists that have
flooded the shops in the last month is
the Introduction of linen and satin suits
for the street
We have let the former material rest
in allegiance several seasons, using IT,
now and then in bleached white with
embroidery to give it character. but to-
day natural colored linen, along with
light blue and watermelon pink, is be-
ing adopted by smartly dressed women
all over the continent.
There is copper colored linen with
FURNISHED surface that leads the way.
and all the natural tones follow. For
these the wash waist is a necessity.
An Old Fashion Revived.
So rapidly has the contagion for
novel blouses swept among the design
ers that they have begun to expert
ment with an old fashion which women
accepted in the middle nineties.
Whether the women OF today will be
enthusiastic about fancy colored taft
feta blouse with plain black or white
skirt no one knows. Al least they have
the chance 10 accept it ii they like it.
The sketch of today shows one of
these bIouses which is worn with a
black chiffon skirt dropped over pink
lining.
The designer OF il holds that such a
waist can be worn with any kind OF
skirt and the wearer may feel that
she is still in first fashion: but the ma
Jority will probably look askance at
the direct contrast in color between
the skirt and the waist, until famili Jar
ity with it causes surprise to vanish.
This pink taffeta waist has several
new features that are worth empha-
sizing. for they may act sugges-
lions to woman who is in need of
new ideas concerning the waist line or
ths armho1e.
The drop shoulder in this blouse ends

is q dull black enamel which gives q
durable and effective finish to porch
furniture. Shiny black enamel Is also
good. But il you wish to apply colors
in q stenciled pattern on black furni-
ture the dull finish Is best. Wooden
chairs, settees and tables, painted with
this dull black ground with a stenciled
pattern in bright red. orange or green,
form very attractive porch furnishings.

shows a simple round collar of rose
colored georgette crepe, caught with
bow of French blue velvet ribbon.
The question of wells is also an i'm
portant one when selecting the sum
mer accessories of dress Many net
and lace wells, as well as the more
serviceable chiffon ones, are fashionable
and there is considerable color range
to choose from. The wise woman will
try the effect of the different colors on
her own complexion before choosing.

PAINTS AND STAINS.

With a pot Of paint and a good brush
anybody can bring freshness to sum-
mer furniture. And since most gar
den and porch furniture is exposed to
the rain and weather it needs at least
an annual retouching.
The amateur painter should really
have two brushes-one wide fat one
for broad surfaces, the other small
round one for the more intricate work
She should also have can Of turpen-
tine in which to clean soiled brushes
an all enveloping apron of cheap ma
terial and a pair of loose, old cotton
gloves.
It is not at all difficult to paint
screens, although this work costs a
good deal when 1t is done by an ex-
pert. A special screen paint in black
or green comes for the purpose. To
Of the veranda with newspapers or an
old piece of canvas. Brush, wash and
dry the screens thoroughly. Then lay
them nat on the paper or canvas and
on the other. A little practice will
make it possible to do the work with
out losing much paint. Dry the screens
thoroughly, of course. before putting
them back in doors or windows The
painting prevents tho action Of rust on
the wire screening and so saves a bill
for new wiring.
If you wish a dull finish for wicker
porch furniture, buy what IL called a
fiat finish stain. This comes in several
brown tones and In green. Apply II
evenly and before II dries thoroughly
rub 1t with cotton cloth. The result
is soft dull color that In durable and
attractive.
Moro durable than tho dun finish IL
a vanished finish. There are many

ket and none of them IL dif1cuIt TO
apply. For porch furniture the differ
ent shades Of green and the walnut
and oak browns are usually most sat
isfactory. Red is chosen sometimes
when red and white striped awnings
are used and this, too, Is very effective.
There Is paint in a deck finish used
for boats that some persons find very
satisfactory for garden and porch fur
niture. 1t is, perhaps. the most durable
finish, but 1t is a bit hard in color.

iIlgs showing increases of fully 10 per cent. and over compared with a year ago. November dividend and interest payments will exceed $154, 4,0OO,O00, which is about $1O,OOO,OOO ahead of the previous year. There is an active demand for all desira ble investm ents and good bonds are readily absorbed Attention is now being turned to desir- able preferred stocks which have been somewhat neglected owing to the enormous earnings of leading indus trials. Speculation in the latter con- tinues upon a tremendous scale but prices are now so high that further advances usually bring out fresh realizations. Railroad shares have been more active on both investment and speculative account, and their better position which has already been set forth in these advices is being gradually realized. At times the market is somewhat reactionary and in view of large commitments to the long side is sensitive to unfavorable news. The election thus far has been an almost negligible factor and will shortly be a matter of history. In about another week this issue will be settled and out of the war, leaving one important factor eliminated from the situation.

New York, Oct. 28.-Speculation
 and prices have touched levels un-
 dreamed of, and the impression grows that still higher attitudes are in pros pect Wheat, cotton, pig iron, sugar,
 wool, chemicals and nearly all com
 modities are on the upward path, war
 being almost the sole impetus. Wars
 demands are absolutely unsuitable.
 Men, munitions and money must be
 had regardless of cost; waste is go-
 ing upon Q vaster scale than ever,
 and supplies of all necessities are be-
 coming more and more depleted. While such forces are at work, high prices are inevitable, and no one can predict where they will end. Possibly
 if not probably, they will continue ad- vancing until consumption is checked or production is increased. The only 1 certainly is that as long as war lasts, no permanent decline can be antici- 1 pated. There are some who believe | that the war will end as suddenly as 1 it began; but a more reasonable view l is that peace will come only as a re- l suit of exhaustion, something not yet l in sight. Recent German successes in | Rumania may tend to lengthen the l war, because they stimulate German l confidence and stiffen British stub- 1 bornness Winter is rapidly ap- 1 preaching and active campaigning g | must soon cease. Both sides will of
 course make strenuous preparations for resumption next spring, possibly l developing more desperate fightin g
 then than anything yet experienced. l The only conclusion at present at 1 tainable is that the war will con- | tinue for some months to come, and
 with it a further imitation of prices.
 Even with a truce, @ full year might
 be required before a treaty of peace | could be completed and signed, dur
 ing which period the great armies
 would be obliged to remain in readi-
