Rice Trade More Brisk.

New Orleans, La.-Little or no
change in prices was noted in the rice
market last week and little more ac-
tivity was seen, especially in the ex-
port department. One large factor
made several important sales. Medium
grades of Honduras stood on the close
at 464Rc a pound for clean, medium
Japan at 5/SG3Ac, and medium
Blue Rose at 5/S@3Ac. Fancy
grades of Honduras were held as high
as 5 7/Sc The American relief COM
mittee was said to have bought 1000
tons of screenings from various Lou
isiana mills for shipment to Russia,
reviving hope that further purchases
OF rice on q large scale might be made

The turban will undoubtedly be
tho most popular model in the
Easter parade. as many OF the
smartly gowned women prefer a
close-ftting hat for the early sea-
son wear. They are usually made in
black highly lustered fabric. which
is wrapped in thick rolls about a
medium-sized frame in Hindu ef-
feet. They are trimmed in various
ways. OF which the small rhinestone
pin placed At the center front IS
the most frequent. The earring idea
is carried out in some instances,
where long pendants are attached TO
the sides Of the hat Then there are
the sprays OF Paradise and aigrettes
which fan TO one side. Hats of
this urban type are generally made
in black. although there are a few

silks used. One very attractive tur-
ban made IN the Roman striped
effect has colorings OF blue, jade
yellow and black swathed about the
head with a huge green scarab
placed directly over the eyes.
