rows of shirring appear in the skirt

the rich color tones of the velvet.

q small rounded v cut in the neck to
show tiny vestee of georgette. and
the sleeves, which are eIbow-length
and attached to an underbodice, have
orange bands to edge them. The wide
satin girdle hangs loosely over the
hips and is undraped.

group of flowers and leaves is beaded
on the satin. The skirt is made in
three parts, short and narrow satin
foundation. and two accordion -pieat-
ed overskirts which hang in points.
These are Of different lengths and
the points of the longer one extend
below the hem of the underskirt.
Blouses are most suitable and ac-
ceptab as holiday gifts, and very
pretty one is of green georgette shad-
ing from light to dark. 1t has
round corded neck and short kimono
sleeves with wide tuck in each. The
sleeve ends are pale green and the

is a large green georgette flower

A new toQue is of sparkling bronze

At one side the end Of a spray of

slightly at the opposite side. The rich
color tones Of this trimming har-
monize beautifully with the draped
bronze cloth. so that the creation is
really unusually stunning.

STOCKS RECEDE
AS MONEY CLIMBS
Drives Forced Prices Lower, but
Failed to Dislodge
Much Stock

New York. May 12.-Today's market
was again under the complete domina-
tion Of the professionals. The majority
of the trading contingent were still
bearish and inclined to work for lower
prices. They succeeded at different in
tervals during the session to force prices
down. but apparently were unsuccess-
full in bringing out much stock. That
is to say failed in forcing out new
liquidation and the fact that this did
not occur In face of the uncertain money
situation indicated the market position
was n great deal stronger than generally
supposed. Specifically, however, the
markets sustaining power was still very
feeble as reflected in its conspicuous in
ability to hold the irregular rallies.
All other considerations as noted In
the preceding sessions were completely
eclipsed by the undisguised uneasiness
situation. The persistence Of tight
credit in the interior was especially dis
turbing, in that it was known to be
forcing a contraction of lines of ac-
commodations to many of the prominent
industries in the Middle West. 'par-
ticufarly the automobile industry. As
a matter of fact, out of town advices
dealing with the motor and affiliated
trades were far from encouraging.
At the same time signs of more cur
tailed stock market accommodations
was foreshadowed by the ) per cent
opening rate for call loans. BY the
early part Of the afternoon the rate had
been advanced to 10, the same rate
exacted in the last hour yesterday and
with the demand apparently far in ex-
cess Of supply. Further government
Withdrawals and outflow of funds to the
interior caused the loaning institutions
to further tighten the purse strings.
Time funds were almost tunobtainable.
although according to the Street reports
some little money was offered at 8 per
cent in sixty and ninety day loans.
The same familiar irregularity at
tended the opening market. Indepen-
dent steels, sugars and low grade oils
were moderately higher, but the re-
cent active favorites again tended
Pacific Mail and Atlantic Gulf, led
the market to higher levels before the
end of the first hour. The railroad
shares. notably the coalers, also re-
sponded to a moderate inquiry, but the
list began to sag again, when the
steels, motors. leather and textile shares
became the center of another selling
movement. American Woolen lost al
most 4 points on this downward swing,
and reactions of l to 3 points accom-
panied light offerings of other indus
trials and specialties. Oils were bid
UP at midday, Royal Dutch and Mex
lean Petroleum displaying marked
strength with some of the cheaper pc
troleums. Other leaders rallied ir-
regularly only to fall back again when
call money advanced to 10 per cent
The motor group were the most vul-
nerable on the further reaction.
