The buying power on the part of
the great mass of the public looks

anticipated boom. In many lines.
such as the textiles, there are steady
advances in prices for future COM

industrial lines are strong, but some
what hampered by such elements as
freight delays, car shortage ana
coal scarcity. In all lines affecte;
by the late strikes there is growing

Export trade is also rather more
confident. Staples are moving over

getting better all the time.
Cotton has moved rapidly upward
in something like an old-fashioned
bull market, only it has not been so
widely participated in as in former
years. Big operators in Wall stree,
uptown and at times in Chicago, ~
well as some of the Southwest, havY
been more prominet than anybody
else. The general public, however,
IS now said to be taking hold to y

FOR THE AUTUMN BRIDE.

The wise bride in these practical
days, considers not only her gown
carefully but all the other details
too, choosing not simply what APP
peals to her for the moment bu:
what will retain its charm and use
fullness beyond the day Of days.
Materials should be rich and of an
excellent quality but it is not neces-
sary to be rashly extravagant and to
acquire dozens of articles more than
any bride could hope to wear, for
things change so rapidly that adj
vance stocks, even Of lingerie, are Il
mistake.
The gown is always a matter of
purely individual choice adapted 20
the circumstances of the bride, the
character and hour of the wedding
and the position in society the mar
ried pair are to occupy after, but for
the trousseau, the other gowns, the
undertakings and the infnity of small
belongings, any bride-to-be might ap
preciate a few suggestions.
For the negligee, for instance,
there are some long, wide-sleeved
things in coat effects that are ador-
abe. One in daffodil yellow crink-
led silk crepe is edged all around
with white mouffion about two inches
wide. The coat turns away at the
neck with tailored revers and the
fronts are caught together at the
waistline with long ribbons.
Then for her feet there are, first Of
all, mules in red and silver brocade
that tie with silver ribbons around
the ankle to prevent them from slip
ping off as mules have a way of do
ing. An arched toepiece is edged
with fuzzy white swansdown.
A little boudoir cap of black lace
is most engaging. The black lace
forms the top which Is gathered in
to a band of silver lace finished at
either side with narrow frill Of
creamy white lace, and from under
this drops a second and wider frill.
after the manner of lace frills on
hat brimS.
Lace edged handkerchiefS are
back in fashion and the discerning
bride will acquire at least one for
the wedding occasion.

would have awaited them, and very
gladly do they donate the results OF
their labor to the Fairgrounds.
Moreover, it was a great artistic
success, placing Alexandria in the
front ranks With other cities of the
union, who in like manner have dem
onstrated to the country, both their
community and civic pride. It's his
toric value was beyond question.
History is, alas. to many scholars as
the dry bones of EzekiePs vision out
the Pageant clothed those shadowy
figures of the past, with the breath
Of life, and history became a fascin.
ating reality.
Loves labor was not lost, the en-,
thusiasm Of the audience was so
great that the cast felt repaid for
their eeort. The desire to establish
permanent organization took hold
upon the public and yielding to the
repeated suggestions and pleas that
there be yearly production Doth
