sensational break in the history Of

the opening Of the exchange here to-
day Before the first call wls com
plcted, May contracts sold at l2.lOC,
making q decline of $3.50 bale from
the closing price of Yesterday and a
now low record for the season. An
almost equally rapid recovery followed
To 1t25c for that delivery, or l7j
points from the lowest. but this ad-
vance was met by increased offerings
from all directions and there was a
second break TO li.S0c tor the May

Of 10 or 20 points between sales.
Prices, however swung well within the

day, WITH prices showing net loss

May Break Great.
Tho break of more than cents Y

followed the collapse of Daniel j.

the decline precipitatcd by the out

of July, 1914, amounted to only .

been buying on an optimistic view OF
peace prospects.
For while everyone around the
ring seemed to be trying to sell at

II is more like a long. loose panel

Georgette crepe is another materi-
al which combines very SUCCESSFULLY
with net. In many Of these sheer
frocks. ribbons Of any color the
wearer may fancy are arranged on
the foundation to add a touch OF
bright color to the costume. In other
models, the color note is supplied by
embroidery, usually in the softest
colors to carry out the delicate beau
ty Of these dresses.
The Indefinite Wastline.
The tendency to do away with a
thoroughly defined wastline is still
prominent in the new styles, and
this feature persists while the tex
ture of the dresses is being changed
from the heavier materials OF spring
' to the sheer cottons and nets of sum
mer. The long, unbroken lines that
women have found so becoming are
noticed in the dress of net trimmed

The tunic again holds sway. But
the present tunic differs somewhat
from those of former days. The new
dresses in tunic effect hang straight
from the shoulders. The foundation
over which tunic dress Is worn,
generally has pleated or gathered
section extending below the tunic.
In the case OF the model illustrated,
while the outstanding heading at the
sides, which is also pleated, tends to
break any suggestion of monotony.
Apart from the use OF lace and net
in making entire dresses, in small
proportions we find them used either
together or independently in many
costumes. Large jabots Of net or
lace with high collars are worn with
tailored suits, the jabot spreading
itself over the front of the coat and

ally the material chosen for them.
1t is in the Innings that there is \
chance for variety. Some OF the
capes are lined with white or cream
cloth, and others with silk Of the
