THE HOUSEHOLD
WHEN YOU ORDER

Some women are inspirationists when
it comes to attending to their daily
ordering And this is very hard for
the poor grocer and the butcher man.
These women go to the telephone
with a feeling that they possibly need
a loaf of bread but that they will surely
have an inspiration concerning what
else they want by the time the grocery
man has taken his telephone in re-
Spouse to her call. Let me see" says
this housewife, and meantime there are
customers waiting in the grocery store,
Eyes, I want a loaf of bread and--no
we don't need eggs. 1t SENS as If
there was something else / needed
Coffee? Well l don't really know
Martha, Martha-Martha, do we need
any coffee? I'm sorry ! can't make
cook hear. l don't know whether we
do need any coffee or not I'll have to
call you up again about that. Yes. I
think we want some soap. But there is
certain kind that my laundress wants
and l can't remember what she called
it, Would you mind naming over some
of the sorts You have? No that doesn't
seem to be the one. Or at least I can't
remember it if you did mention it. Well,
I think that is all. And you will send
the things before eleven, won't you?
The best time to begin your plans
to today's ordering is last night. That
is you should start your list. 1t is a
good idea to have a little pad with a
pensil attached, and on this every day
write the list for that day. slate is
quite satisfactory This might be
placed in the kitchen where you can
jot down things as they occur to you
in the kitchen or your cook could write
things as they occur to her. Even when
you are going to the stores yourself 1t
is a good plan to have written list.
There is no reason why should tax your
memory when written list is so much
easier
In a house where there are young
persons it is rather good ideaa to let
one of them take the responsibility OF
making up the order lists-especiall
if the housewife is rather overworked
and is in need of shifting some respon-
sibility. A young daughter of fourteen
or fifteen might be given this task 1t
would mean every day before going to

tition of taffeta and serge for winter
costumery was not a disappointment,
and they could not understand why
| the Americans insisted that duvetyn
and velveteen must be used. since there
was nothing better to be had
DgVETYN. AMERICAN CHOICE
The American not only wants to be
warm, but wants to look warm, and
the duvetyn models attracted her at
tention and emptied her purse. Ger
tain houses, like that of Martial ct Ar
mand showed thirty or forty duvetyn
models, and the house of Bernard.
which created remarkably good tailored
suits, judging from a commercial stand
point adopted duvetyn for all kinds of
frocks and top coats as well as street
suits.
If gowns are to be full at the hips,
if they are to be pleated at the sides,
if they attempt the five-yard hem,
such as Lanvin and Paquin introduced,
then the American wants a very soft
material. She desires something that
will cling to the figure and not make
her look larger than she is.
The prevailing weave of duvetyn can
be depended on not to accentuate bulk.
1t is not becoming to the figure as
serge. but it does not give one the
wheel-like dimensions of taffeta.
COMBINED WITH EMBROIDERY
1t was left to the house of Drecoll
to introduce frocks by combining it
with coarse net embroidered and dyed
to match the foundation
The sketch shows one of his gowns
made in this manner. The chemise
slip is of taupe colored duvetyn, with
out any inclination to curve in at the
waistline. Over this is a redingote of
the coarse net dyed taupe and them en-
broidered in dull Persian colors
An artificial waistline is suggested

BROADENING OF TRADE.
IN SECURITY MARKET.
List Displays Better Tone.
Fluctuations Orderly and Mod
erate-Steel Shares Strong

New York. May 23.-The New York
Evening Suns financial review this
afternoon is as follows:
Trading broadcncd out today and, on
the whole. the list displayed better
tone than yesterday. Dealings were on
about the same scale as recently, hold
ing around the million share mark
Fluctuations were orderly and mod
crate. although here and there pool
manipulation were discernible and few
miscellaneous issues swung over wide
range.
New developments of marketwisc
bearing were scarce Efforts made yes
terday by the professional element TO
bring about a reaction were apparently
given up. 1t was again found that in
the absence of unfavorable news the
line of least resistance for stocks was
still upward.
The steel shares came into greater
prominence by reason of hopeful trade
reports, and the promugltion of Judge
Gary statements made today at the
meeting of the American Iron and Steel
Institute. This authority repeated what
he has said before. namely. that there
is large and fairly profitable business
ahead for the steel industry. and added
that business in the six months has
been better than was expected.
United States Steel was bought heav
lily at the opening and by midday had
climbed TO around 1O4. Other steel
shares We're also strong. If Wall street
gueSses correctly. there is very big
short interest in Steel common. and It

Less concern was manifested by
| traders respecting proceedings at the
! peace table. The Conciliatory attitude
shown was thought to foreshadow
/ smooth sailing.
Money market conditions. which have
been the cause of some apprehension
were not disturbing. Call loans were
made as low as A. per cent. and it is
probable that rates will hold close tC
present levels. There has been a heavy
flow of money to this center from in
terror banks, assuring n plentiful sup
ply.

BIG DEMAND FOR SPOT
HELPS COTTON PRICES
Opening Declines Soon Turn to
Advances on Trade and
Liverpool Buying

New York, May 23.-Aftcr n brief
reflection of easier cables and more
favorable weather which caused gem
eral opening decline of Is to 40 points,
the cotton market turned firm again and
quickly rallied to above % cents for
October.
The trade and Liverpool were heavy
buyers on this upturn which was further
supported by southern adviccs noting a
tremendous demand for spots.
A private cable from Liverpool re-
porting that Manchester was largely
uncovered, that is to say, had bought
very little cotton against requirements,
and reports of continued good spot
demand were factors on the rally.
The bulge met realizing and local
selling for a reaction. however, and the
market was easier. with prices back to
about last nights closing figures.
