R|CKETT LEAVES
STRACHAN LINE
SELLS HIS INTEREST AND RE
TIRES FROM THE SHIPPING
COMPANY.

Interesting was the announce meht
made yesterday that s. S. RicEctt. for
very near nineteen years co .nected
with the Ssr1chan Shipping company,
had severed his relations with that
firm.
Mr.. Rickett came to this city with
the original Shachan firm and for all
of these years has held various posi-
tiOns with the company, finally being
admitted to the firm of f. d. NJ
Strchan and company In 1914, the
business was incorporated and merg
ed into the Strachan Shipping com
pany and Mr. Rickett became a rather
large stOckhOlder and was elected to
the directorate Of the company. He is
one t the best posted men in the eX-
port cotton business and the fact that
he has concluded to retire from the
firm, occasioned general surprise in
shipping and other commercial cir
cles in the city Mr. Rickett was seen
by representative Of The News last
night and while he preferred not TO
discuss his future plans, he did say
that he had opposed Of his interests in
the Strachan business; that he and his
family would leave on Monday for
an extended visit to New York and
thence 10 New England points and

commerce and has been active in all
movements tending to promote the
business Of the port. He is Justify
popular with the people Of the city
who join The News in the hope that
his future business plans will not re.
move him from Brunswick.

Brunswick is not the only place
enjoying the wave of prosperity which
has swept the entire country.
General business conditions continue
good and the outlook for next month is
excellent, according to official reports
of the federal reserve board, made pub
lie in the boards monthly statement
Crops are reported better than normal
in most sections, industries are said
to be working to capacity and further
increases are noted in building con-
structiOn. From nearly every reserve
district there is a call for more labor,
with wages mounting.
In the Boston district buying has
been exceptionally heavy and manu-
facturers are months behind their or
ders. The boot and shoe industry is
most prosperous and cotton mills
are running over time.
New York reports reassuring signs
of a needed change to a more con-
servative outlook in commerce, in
dustry and banking. Pig iron pro
new high record freight conges-
ton has been somewhat relieved.
Foreign trade for the four weeks
ending June II shows a large in
crease
Favorable conditions in all depart
ments of trade and industry are re-
ported from the Philadelphia dis
trict, where manufacturers are com
planning of a shortage of labor. Coal
mines are working rs per cent capac-
ity.
"Some of the munition plants are an
titipating the end of the war and
making plans to manufacture com
modities for use in times of peace"
the report continues, adding to the
growing feeling that the end of the
fects on the industries which some
interests feared"
Money Is Plentiful.
Money is plentiful in the Atlanta
district and cotton conditions are ia
vorable although the fields are in need
of sunshine. The corn is the best
in years.
The Richmond report says that in
spite of cold and dry weather. market
gardening along the seaboard is in a
better comparative condition than for
several years, cotton mills are running
on full time. collections are satisfac-
toryg and the demand for labor is in
excess of the supply.
There is no perceptible decrease in
buiness in the Chicago district, where
labor is we'll employed and number
of strikes have been settled.
The steel situation in the Cleve-
land district is said to be virtually un-
changed, but the movement of iron
ore into lower lake ports promise 10
make a new yearly record. Autorno-
bile and rubber factories are doing
an enormous business and mercantile
trade is active.
Hardware, boots and shoes, dry
goods and allied industries all show
gains in the st. Louis district and raj
road earnings are increased both ret
and gross.

lust how they are to be used is
for the designer to decide. Pro-

They do not seem applicable to gowns

simpler silks consisting OF crepe with
broCaded figures of velvet or the gros

or satin with velvet stripes seems
better adapted to the cutting up that is
necessary for any garment that is
fitted or that consists OF small pieces.
Large figures. big bold designs require
big surfaces for display and only in
cloaks and in such garments could
these magnificent silks appear as they
should. II we come to the separate
trains, they may be used there. I'm
doubtedly. now and again they will
appear as skirts over which lace and
net and the like are draped, and per-
haps the master hand will drape them
into skirts of such simple loose folds
that they will not lose their effect.
As a matter of course, they are
costly. Such silks could not be any
thing else Thirty dollars a yard is a
prohibitive price to the greater number
Of women, but even we're they offered
for three dollars, conditions as to their
rightful use would remain. One could
think of an opera cloak made big and
loose and ample in simple straight
lines and finished with a cape collar of

As first step, read the directions on

wide TO suit that illustration. If YOU
wish to make it as it is here, Of two
materials, place the guimpe on the
silk. which usually comes thirty-six
inches wide. The general plan will be
the same as that illustrated, but you
may be obliged to push the sleeve
along a little further for the narrower
material. No hem is allowed on the
skirt. Girls of the same age vary
greatly in height. Before placing the
pattern on the material you should
measure the skirt on the wearer. lfit

at the lower edge, allowing three inches

Russian and Oriental influences are at
work Even where the designs belong
to neither nation, the col effect is
apparent Rich, deep yellow of the
Chinese order is conspicuous. The
wonderful Chinese blue is much used
and much seen, and the green and reds
that belong to Russia hold their place.
The wool fabrics are interesting
largely for the prominence that is given
all the velvet finished cloths or velour.
We have the duvetyn and the wool
velour. which have been favorites Of
proceeding seasons, but we also have
Bolivia cloth. plain and corded, which
is somewhat richer and handsomer
than the familiar velour that is es-
pecially adapted to coat costumes for

more silky in effect than the velour Of
the older reign All these materials
are shown in exquisite colors. 1t is to
be a season OF color for while a great
many quiet tones will be worn upon
the street. grey and beige and the like,
they will almost uniformly be touched
with brilliant color. Plain broad
cloth and satin finished broadclothare
exploited among the new materials and
altogether it is a season of exceptional
promise and Of rare beauty. If there
has ever been difficulty to secure, the
difficulty easily has been overcome for
we never have known more wonderful
color, or color in more lavish display.
When we remember that fur is to be
used in quantity as trimming we will
we'll understand that the coming sea-
son is to be one Of richness and OF
quality, if not of splendor As a
matter Of course the furs will be OBJ
tanned from a great many different
sources There must be a certain
shortage Of the finer skins, but the way
in which the Overs and the dealers
have managed to manipulate rabbit
and cat and various other skins of
inferior quality into beautiful trimming
is one Of the interesting studies OF the
time.
The embroideries that are put TO
such general usc, are conspicuous
There are all kinds of machine en-
broideries as well as hand work. In
deed the machines have been per-
fected to such an extent that often it is
difficult to distinguish one from the
other A very smart suit for general
wear is made Of duvetyn in a shade Of
beige, and is embroidered with heavy
threads in simple conventional figures
that are suggestive Of the Russian
motifs in self color. At a glance it
appears to be hand work, but upon
investigation, traces of the machine
are found and such evidences of mar
velous accomplishment frequently are
to be met. The embroideries allow
most effective use of color. A lovely
blue serge gown is embroidered with
grey and the collar and the cuffs are Of
velvet in Colonial yellow, while the
buttonholes are bound with strips OF
velvet 1t makes a wonderful COM
bination and really fascinating one

of these new machines. On the
