GOSSIP OF

Quite a number Of prominent local
financial interests will be back on the
job next Tuesday, as this week gen.
orally marks the closing Of the vaca-
tion period. A number Of bank officials,
during their vacation period. have
combined pleasure with business: That
is to say they have been making
close study Of conditions In the various
sections they have traversed. Quite q
few have been taking their vacation In
short trips abroad, to get a close view
Of the situation on the other side OF
the water. Several braved the un-
seasonable period and ran down to the
larger South American cities.
Information they have obtained and
which they have been commenting on
in their personal letters will permit a
much more intelligent discussion of the
general situation, and is likely to prove
n valuable guide. Most Of the letters
received are of an optimistic tenor.
with almost a unanimous opinion OF
the worst Of the business depression
having been passed. At the same time,
most of the writer's agreed the recovery
is going to be painfully slow and per-
hnps discouraging.

Double publications

Several Philadelphia textile manufac-
turers were comparing notes yesterday
morning on one of the seashore trains
and all agreed there was a decided turn
for the better in that particular in
dustry. One Of the party said not only
had his mill enjoyed substantial in
crease In the number of orders during
the current month. but for the first
time in four years had received double
Implications from at least four large
customers.
Continuing, he said: "In my opinion
this is one Of the very best signs. 1t
means, in my Interpretation, shelves OF
most of the consumers are practically
bare. There surely must be an increased
demand for the particular product which
we are putting out or else they would
hardly have duplicated the original
order, then double the duplication. 1t
would not surprise me but that similar
condition will eventually develop in
other lines. Sometimes in periods sim

passing, it only requires just little
push to start things moving again In
the same old groove

LONDON STOCK MARKET
List Displays stablIlty-DoIlar Sc
curitles Improve

London, Aug. 31.-There was only a
fair attendance on the stack exchange
today, and, as a consequence, business
was slow. The list, however, generally
displayed stability. Gilt edged securi-
ties were quiet and unchanged, while a
steadier tone was shown In home rails,
with prices holding around previous
levels.
Dollar securities showed improvement
in spots, despite New York exchange.
French loans were dull and hesitant.
On professional operations Argentine
rails were frmer at higher levels.
There was an especially good demand
for the Canadian Pacific issues. Kaftirs
were stronger on moderate dealings.
Oils showed a rallying tendency as a
result Of reinstatement Of old lines.
Shell Transport and Trading was AS
and Mexican Eagle AS. Rubbers were
steady, with price changes confined to
narrow limits.
A more cheerful feeling was in evil
dence in the industrial group, but deal
ings were only light. Hudson's Bay
was 61b.

Western Money Market

There was little change shown in the
Western money market during the last
week, banks reporting clearings OF
varied character from day to day, with
rates of interest virtually steady on all
transactions. Discounts continued on
6h to per cent basis for collateral,
6ss to 6A per cent on common paper,
and 6E2 to Z per cent for loans over the
counter. The supply Of funds at the
larger banks continued OF fairly good
volume. but there was little inclination
for looking for new business to any
extent on shading of rates.
The demand for funds was compara-
lively light, borrowers showing dis
position to reduce their loans and not
increase their obligations until some
change Is noted in commercial and in
dustrial lines of trade. One Of the i'm
portant factors in the way of improve
ment arising from readjustment Is
found in the reports Of leading trunk
lines in increased freight traffic, prov
ing ostensibly that the business situa-
ton is somewhat better and money Is
being used In a moderate way whereby
little more activity is recognized in
commercial lines. Interior banks report
some liquidation Of loans in the agri-
cultural districts as a result of the In
creased forwardings Of both grain and
livestock. Such banks have also been
able to increase their balances at the
larger financial centers, and are buy
ing moderately of high class commercial
paper. THE TRADER.

Dividend Meetings Next Month

Dlvtdend meet ngs NeU Woh"
There is every likelihood Of a re.
currence Of dividend cold chills next
month. Directors Of a number of Inn
portsnt corporations meet during Sep
tember to act on dividends due in Oc-
tober. 1t is feared certain companies
will cut or omit dividends, but the
movement will not be as pronounced as
in June when action was taken on July
dividends. Some seem to think the last
quarter of the year will show general
Improvement in business, and for that
reason number Of the companies are
expected to pay the usual dividends in
anticipation Of better earnings.
Several dividends that were deferred
in June will be taken up for considera ,
tion again, and much win depend, OF
course, on the outlook. Many companies
will have the great losses sustained THIS
year TO make up, and for this reason
general resumption of dividends cannot
be looked for before the close OF 1o22.

Editorials For
Women Folks

You're quite right when you say
her ideas are so different" but
somehow the rest of the world canG
agree with that humorously tolerant
smile.
She didn't get out a great
deal during her thirties and early
forties. She missed a whole world
of club life and afternoon teas and
missionary society meetings.
She couldn't GO because there
were small stockings to darn, small
dresses to make and small folks to
care for. And there wasn't any maid.
Anyway, she would have wanted to
be there to see that things which
should be done really were done.
And then clothes-she always
reasoned that you little folks who
had to mix with other small folks
needed the new things most and
that by brushing and cleaning and
pressing she could make hers do a
little longer.
When there were particularly
| good things for the table, a feast
for some special occasion, she found
strangely, you thought then -
| that the more plain foods were more
satisfying to her and so the cream
of the feast was yours.
Thus, it became a habit with her
this thinking of herself last. She
accepted that as her part of life, be-
cause she a your mother and II
seemed to be the natural thing to do,
And somehow, everyone else, ever
| you have followed her lead, and
thought of her last.

Long Engagements"


Broken engagements, like di-
vorces, have increased since tho
war.
IT was engaged five years. Seems
absurd, L suppose, 10 a person of
sense. It's absurd to me, now I've
broken with the man. Many times
I asked him why we couldn't marry.
The only answer 1 ever had was
'Because!' Then followed extrava-
CANT demonstrations of his devotion.
81 wish you would write some-
thing good and strong about men
who are too selfish to marry. I'm
convinced it would do some of them
a world of good.-Foolish Virgin"
I am convinced that no procras-
tinating sutton would be influenced
one bit by the printed word.
Character is not made in a day
and 1t cannot be made over by q
in a day, and it does seem that the
girl who stays engaged for five years
ought to take a little time off in
which to look for flaws in the man
Of her trust .
what kind of q man Is this who
swears that he loves me but is
never ready for our wedding?" Is
surely a reasonable question.
Most unfortunately (from a SYM
pathetic view point), 1 have a large
assortment of letters from girls who
have dragged through long engage
| ments to a disastrous conclusion
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-09-26

8IMnomaM Mca

One girl thus condenses her hurt:
"My engagement was broken after
four happy years and l am miser-
able. l have wasted the best years
OF my life. / worried for months
before ending the affair, and l have
lost flesh, and my good looks, and
| energy and ambition. l have been
Inundated before my friends, and I
have wasted hundreds of dollars on
a trosseau 1 shall never need.
II know I am doomed to be an old
maid. The man was utterly sell
fish" And he was. judging from
the remainder of her long letter.
"Selhshness-greed for getting
all and giving nothing back-is the
secret of most of this distress.
There's only one bit OF comfort
for these too-trusting girls: Most
of them end in exactly the sama
situation which would have engulfed
them, had they married. They are
alone. as old maids instead of as
Divorces. The men merely tired OF
them before the wedding instead of
afterward and for this they are to
be congratulated.
Their letters make valuable read
ing for uncritical women who need
to learn that love alone cannot pro-
duce permanent happiness.
what kind of a man is doing the
loving?"
The only advantage of a long en-.
gagement is the chance 1t gives a
girl to find out that.

If the h~ousekeeper who must buy

in a large quantity she will not find
nuts too expensive to use. Many
an otherwise embarrassing salad or

and ready to use, for often when
most needed it takes too long to pre-
pare them.
After Smelling store nuts in a cool
place in a comparatively air tight

Nuts are invaluable for dressing
up a dinner for an unexpected guest.
Sprinkle ground nuts over cup GUS
tards. add ~coarsely chopped nuts to
shredded cabbage. add boiled chest
nuts to n creamed vegetable.
Nut Ball Salad
Two packages cream cheese or
homemade cottage cheese, 2 table

Mash cheese and add cream to
