There is a perennial interest in shirt
waists and blouses which keeps their
designers forever thinking up some
thing new in their construction and
decoration. These designers under
stand better than any one else that
a single original and clever touch
makes the success of many blouse
that would go almost unnoticed
without it. In fact, If is ingenuity in
managing the styles we have, rather
than new styles, that makes the most
certain appeal to women. In Deem

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


The market turned n complete somer-
sault in the last hour yesterday, and
from a quiet trading affair in which
gains and losses were about evenly d.
vided It suddenly became n wIldeyed
rout without a friend In the world and
with no one about TO throw sand on the
tracks and stop the skidding. The fear
that clutched at the heart of Wall
Street on Monday was as nothing COM
pared with the fear that seized It yes
terday afternoon and stocks were wildly
thrown overheard for what they would
bring. Just what started the decline Is
difficult to ascertain. Rumors filled the
air. One Of them was a grapevine mes
sage, via the we'll known underground
route from Washington that the Presi-
dents message to-day will be about the
most drastic attack on the high cost OF
living which has ever been made. The
report that reached Wall Streets ears
was that recommendation will be made
for general wage Increases coupled with
a out in prices OF all sorts. This, Of
course, would mean a smaller net re-
turn for all industry. Coupled with the
somewhat gruesome threat that some
ancient scandal in the handling Of New
Haven. Baltimore and Ohio and st. Paul
IL to be disinterred, and with the news
that the packers In Chicago are already
on the grill, the market developed a
speculative chill that left II in a sick
and somewhat pitiful condition at the
close.

Manipulation 2

In the minds Of some people who are
naturally suspicious there Is the ques-
ton as to how much manipulation en-
tered as a factor into that last hour
break OF yesterday and how much Of 1t
was real, honest to goodness liquidation.
In the first place, many have been very
busy circulating bearish gossip in the
last few days. In the second place, the
market of the day before. In which
strange advances were made In some
stocks, from this distance does not APP
pear to have been a very healthy one.
A desperate attempt to camoufiage the
money situation has been apparent in
the last forty-eight hours in the market.
One institution put out some $4,000. 900
