For Good of
 the Community

COME of the headlines in current issue O of the Journal of Commerce, daily business newspaper accurately reflecting the actual state of trade throughout the country and abroad, run like this:
 Please Rush Order Cry of Retail CTS. They Are Doing Business on Small Accommodations.
 Knit Goods Trade Sees Bright Future. Production Is at Almost Full Capacity in West and 80 Per Cent in East.
 Silk Market Is Very Strong.
 Youngstown Steel Market Recov- ering Optimism.
 A business newspaper for business men does not eXaggerate. It would not retain subscribers if it did. When it's headlines over news items are optimistic it is be- cause there is foundation for the op- timis1n.
 Theo. H. Price, the Wall street expert, summing up the record of the week end ing last Saturday says:
 Even the most persistent peSSimiSt must admit that the business record as we'll as business sentiment have become more cheerful during the past week.
 Of the money market in particular MT. Price says: "The money market is easier for irreprOachable commercial paper' James Bowron, president of the Gulf States Steel company just back from the east, has told us that the most tirrepressible pessimist on his board of directors has openly announced himself on the bull side. of the dead center" is MT. Bow rOn'S own comment
 Speaking of pre-Easter week in New York the Journal of Commerce of Friday said:
 The present week finds greater number of out-of-town buyers in New York than has congregated here dur ing Easter week in years. Depart ment stores and retail shops gener- ally are agreed that they are doing greater volume of business than they anticipated they would and are forced to make replacements at the beginning of the ordinary buying season.
 The spirit in the air is that business is good in spite of occasional contrary opinions.
 Of the silk market the Journal says:
 The local market has not in recent weeks shown such unmistakable buoyancy as 1t displayed yesterday (last Thursday) Eager demand for coarse and high grades of Japan csc silk was reflected in premiums for spot delivery.
 Of the textile trades the Wall Street Journal says:
 Leaders in the textiles believe that the trade has definitely turned the corner and that the trend will be steadily toward normal The i'm provement is countrywide and en- braces manufacturing, wholesale and retail departments.
 But Birmingham did not have to go to the east for inspiration. It had already arrived here in our remarkable pace of home building and storehouse construc- tion followed by the resumption of half dozen soil pipe plants, whose product goes into every dwelling and storehouse that are built
 Local optimism was justified by the simultan- eous shipment from port of Mobile of 5000 tons of Ensley rails for China and 1000 tons of pipe from our various Birminpham ShonS fOr the Pa

CHOOSING the shape and size Of
~ frame and the colors and materials
to be used is about as hard as the work.
There are so many colors, materials
and trimmings one has difficulty some
times making a decision; but the stores
always will show the colors over n light
bulb, So one can be certain Of the ef-
feet.
The wire frame Is covered with rib .
bon tightly wound on both the perpen-
dicular and horizontal wires. This rib.
bon gives something to sew to later. Cut
a piece of the ribbon, making it three
times the length of the wire to be
wound-this is easier to handle than
the bolt-slip 1t through at the top
where the round and length wires meet,
and tie in hard knot, leaving tiny
end. Then begin to wind, folding the
end in. and when the end of the wire
is reached turn in the ribbon and fasten
with silk twist.

is put on plain-not plaited-the lining

the bottom. The same width margin
is allowed here, allowing 1t to go TO-
ward the right side. The outside ma =
tcrals are put on in the same manner
Where plated georgette Is to be used
the lining is put in last. For twenty :
six inch shade, five widths Of georgette
are allowed; for smaller sizes four
widths are enough. These must be cut
by thread and scanned together. The
upper edge is turned in and gathered
using long and short stitch. Take
these stitches 20 the long one will stand
up on the right side when the thread
is pulled up. Do not take too long
stitches, and keep them as even as pos
sibe.
When ready to put on the frame, the
georgette Is sewed over and over TO the
frame between each long stitch. 1t Is
a particular piece of work, laying the
plaits at the bottom. Each stitch at
the top is accounted for around the bot
tom: and no sewing is done until every
plat has been pinned to the frame.
Where the frame has deep cuff
this is covered before putting the rest
on but where it is only one inch deep,
the top covering is brought down over
the little cuff.
Gold or silver or other fancy braids
are used for finishing around the tor
and bottom, and the straight frames
usually have a deep fringe.

L through that first day after her en-

to laugh at herself for this feeling, but

as usual, seemed tired and out Of

Why had she desire to postpone The

wrong, for, of course, she wanted to
marry Jimmy, and If she wanted tc

time later?
Impulsively. and to punish herself
for her doubt, she responded quickly
''Of course there's no need of wait

I'm a month"; he asked eagerly.
She nodded slowly. but there was
