The Wood Thrush.

The Wood Thrush. All mornings and all eyes, Well hidden in green leaves, The melody he weaves Is ever so entrancing It sets the heart a-dancing
 And bids the spirits wings
 Fly up to mountain springs Beyond a world that sighs and
 grieves. And yet the common cares Of humdrum life he shares The while he boldly dares The midday haunts of duty, Forgettlng songs of beauty,
 To feed his little flock,
 Which done, he doth unlock Again his most melodious airs. An, if this life of mine Were like, 0 bird, to thine, My cup were filled with wine TO each occasion suited; Tea, 1 were spurred and booted
 The stony roads to ride,
 And then, at eve, beside Sweet streams to waken strains di-
 vine Blackburn in the Chicago Tribune.

JEWELRY~-Shortage
Nav Cut Trade Volume

With shipments from the factories
still far behind schedule. stocks Of
jewelry on the shelves of the retailers
have become reduced to the point
whore many dealers foresee the loss
of large amount of trade If new sup
plies do not arrive soon.
Orders placed by local retail dealers
carly in August have not been deliv-
cred yet, as production has been in
terrupted by the continued strike,
transportation delays and the scarcity
of stones and precious metala.
Although the price Of diamonds has
increased almost 100 per cent in the
last year, buying continues in large
volume. One carat stones now bring
from $500 70. $3.50, whereas last year
plenty were to be had at $3.50 Clus-
tcrs of diamonds have also risen in
price in proportion to the larger
stones. Prices for cheaper stones,
such az saronyX, amethyst onyx. jade,
turquoise, moonstones and bookstores
have also advanced considerably in
price because of their scarcity

SlLkS-l'luch Speculation
In SILK Goods

While tho silk goods market is active
no small proportion of the present
trading is speculative, according to
trade leaders. Numerous instances are
cited whore goods have changed hands
as many AS eight times before reaching
retailer or garment manufacturer
who intends cutting them up or other
wise putting them into consumption.
Jobbers are trading among them
selves and the garment manufacturers
are selling their supplies instead of
cutting them up IN the present dull
market for dresses, waists, etc. Spec
ulation in tatfetas and printed geor-
cites, which are expected to be leading

Retailers Supporting
S'NatiOnal Blouse Week

Retailers all over the country have
signitied their intention of featuring
women's waists during National Blouse
Week, November 10 to 10. The idea of
featuring a selling week in waists origi-
mated with the United Waist League of
America, an association Of waist mon
ufacturcrs The object is to stimulates
the sale Of waists at retail during a
nominally dull period, and thus enable
the retailers TO dispose Of their stock
without the usual end Of the season
sacrifices, and also to clear away sur
plus merchandise in preparation for
spring business, which comes along
about holiday time.
Many of the cotton and silk houses
who supply the waist manufacturers
with fabrics have indorsed the idea,
believing that big retail selling move
ment in wintar waists will have n good
effect upon tho coming spring business
in wholesale circles.
While waist manufacturers have re
ceivcd some special orders for National
Blouse Week from the retailers, they
expect the greatest bcnfits to com to
them through the channels of an carly
and large spring business.
