There was considerable discussion
in the market as to whether the
quotation of AZ or better which
Pennsylvania maintained during the
dav was justified. The main consid-
Grafton which figured in the discus
sion was the supposed prospect of an
advance in the. dividend rate to l 1-2
per cent for the quarter at tomor-
rows meeting of the board of direc-
tors. This meeting, however, is not
for dividend action. Some who pro-
fessed to be close to the situation
predict that another quarter must
pass before the per cent. rate viii
be restored.

panied an obvious reduction in. de-
mand for time money due to the

falling off in the demand for funds

lowed by partial recovery, with later
fluctuations and final advances in =
good many stocks shortly before clos

to conditions distinctly better than

This lessened the apparent net losses
for the day, but only tended to con-
ceal the fact that greater weakness

as result of selling pressure in the
course of the session.

was heavy, although notTas large as

Wedding Gown
IL. Goes In Mystery

Baltimore brides are taking no
chances with their wedding finery
nowadays. in view of near-tragedy
last week in the bridal preparations
of Miss Grace Rogers Roberts, daugh-
ten of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene Roberts,
of Prince Georges county, who was
married to George Ross Neazey, a
young lawyer of this city, last Satur-
day.
Miss ROBERTS had her trousseau
made in Washington. and was notified
several DAYS before the wedding thai
everything had Deen completed. To
make sure that they would be deliv-
cred at her home. at Landover, in
plenty of time. the then Miss Roberts
requested her brother-in-law, Frances
G.. Addison. of Washington, to call
for her wedding gown and an evening
gown.
Mr.. Addison followed directions.
The wedding gown and the evening
gown were packed in the same box
and delivered to him. The box was
placed carefully in his automobile and
started on its way to the bride-to- be.
A few. minutes later Mr.. Addison left
the machine for moment to make a
purchase. When he returned the box
the wedding gown was
gone.
A frantic search followed, but the
thief left no clue. The Washington
police iwere notified, but they too,
failed to find trace. Mr.. Addison,
who saw visions of bridegroom
waiting at the altar and bride wiring
ing her hands over the lost treasure,
was obliged to return home and no

tify his family of the happening. The
bride, however, proved herself to be
an exceedingly resourceful young wc-
man. She spent no time in weeping.
When it was evident that the search
for the gown was to be fruitless she
borrowed her sisters wedding gown,
had a few necessary alterations made
and the wedding proceeded as though
nothing had happened, with few OF
the guests any wiser.

BY NORMAN II. BROWN.

While the score of rockies get.
ting their first trials in the big
leagues are looking into the flu
ture with hopeful glances and
hoping that the season just start
ed is marking the beginning of a
long career for them, the veto
rams of the game-the men who
have trekked along in the big
show for years-have a different
view of it.
To many of them only the lure
of the sport holds them in it. The
yearly training period and the
long road jaunts which keep
them away from their families
for weeks at a time have grown
monotonous. Their years in the
limelight and their salaries have
placed them in a position to quit
the game and enter a business
which will give them more time
with their growing children and
their wives. The call of the home
hits many before their legs and
arms begin to warn them the end
is near.
