'HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND II. ALLEN
10, I51ZI dATIdHu II, hIItH'J
GETTING SOMETHING TO
GO WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
1922. Harland H. Allen.) }


GO WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
"When l am buying one new article
l always try to select something THAI
will 20 well with what l have on
hand" says one well-dressed woman.
l call that first-rate guide In
choosing new clothes.
For instance, if you have gray furs.
don't buy a brown dress, but choose
black or blue or gray, so that next
winter they will look well together.
But If you have brown hat, do not
select gray dress, but take brown
one.
When woman buys at random any
color she may fancy, 1t can readily
be seen that she will require many
more clothes than the woman who
selects everything new to harmonize
with something she already has.
Many a hat looks we'll with one
suit, but does not go with any of the
others. An evening coat may look
lovely with your blue dress, but posi-
lively hideous with the pink one, so
that they can never be worn together.
If you know that blue and brown, for
example, are your most becoming col
ors, you should decide which of these
is going to be most popular with the
fashion dictators, or best suited to
your purpose, and let this be the gen.
eral tone of your wardrobe, keeping
all your coats. suits and gowns. at
least in harmony with it. Especially
can the number of outer coats be re-
duced in this way. And, of course,
all waists made this season will then
be just the thing to wear with the
next new suit.
In the same way, If you can afford
only one new outfit, and you decide
that a tailored suit best fills your
need do not spoil It by purchasing
an over-elaborate hat, or shoes meant
only for party wear. Or If you have
found by experience that fluffy, frilly
things best fulfill your purpose, do not
change over TO tailored clothes all at
once, and expect to keep a harm0nE
Gus effect.
This is one of the greatest secrets
of economical dressing. If you will
plan your wardrobe so that any article
you buy can be worn with any of the
others, you will find that you do not
begin to need so many hats, gloves.
shoes, furs, petticoats, parasols, and
the like, as the woman who does not
use such foresight in her shopping.

SEw YORK COTTON FUTURES

NEW ORLEANS, August 1S.-Strong advances attended the early trading in cotton today, but gradually the demand was filled and when traders on the long side realized profits in too large way, they brought a reaction. Considera ble hedge selling came on the market as 1t advanced and offerings for new short account were liberal, on the theory that the advance of late had been too rapid and because of the unfavorable opinion generally entertained of European polit- ical news especially as 1t concerned the English attitude the matter of the Ruhr.

NEW YORK, August 13.-Prices moved within narrow and irregular range in today's stock market, one of the dullest full days sessions this year. Trading was almost entirely a professional affair with little disposi- ton to extend commitments being shown by either the bear of bull op- orators.
 The unfavorable weekend political developments in Europe had no ef- feet on stock prices but resulted in French francs dropping to new low record for all time and brought about some sharp recessions In the French and Begian bonds. French francs were quoted as low as 5.53A c. Demand sterling held steady around S4.55A and Belgian francs advanced nearly 10 points on reports of a 500,- 000,000 franc loan from France to Belgium. German marks dropped from 36c to PIC a million and then recovered to 33c. Widespread agita- tion for lower gasoline prices, which l- has resulted in state intervention in South Dakota, was held responsible for the liquidation of oil shares by frightened investors but the reces- sions in artive issues were held to point or less.

This probably accounts for the caution ex- ercised by professional bear traders in extending their operations in this group.
 United States Steel was in fairly good demand during the morning, touching S9Ss, but 1t dropped back later to SEA- where it was up ss on the day. A furry of buying also took place In Baldwin, which regis tered a similar net gain on the day. American Locomotive, Studebaker, and American Can registered nominal losses.
 Rubbers again yielded to pressure, United States Rubber common drop ping 1B and the first preferred breaking points to new low rec ord for the year. Kelly Springfield yielded 1z on the day.

ALARM OVER CROP PROSPECTS SENDS.
 COTTON PRICE UP,

NEW YORK. August 13.-Increas- ing alarm over southwestern croN prospects was reflected by an ad- ton market during today's early trading. The demand slackenei around the 241k -cent level, however and after selling at 24.55 for Oc- tober, or 375 points above the low price touched late last ninth, the market reacted under heavy realiz- ing or liquidation. October sold off to 23.S5, or T points from the best and closed at 23.S9, with the general market closing. barely steady at net declines of 1 to 21 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 16 to 34 points on the rela- lively firm showing of the cables and reports of continued dry weather in the southwest over Sunday, with ing of Liverpool evidently offset the effect of unfavorable European po- litical advices, and there was active buying right after the call which sent the market up to 24.52 for De- cember and 24.25 for January.
 There was no change in the gem eral character of the weather, and crop news to promote the selling, but the market was unsettled dur ing the afternoon and appeared to be paying more attention to the un- favorable situation reported in Ger many. There was also talk of a probable increased resume of hedge selling from the southwest by the end of this week, and some traders seemed inclined to question whether advances on reduced crop estimates would be maintained under the weight of the early new crop move ment to market. December broke to 23.s7 and January to 23.60, Or about 65 points from the best, and the close was within a few points of the low est. A private report published early indicated deterioration of 6 points In crop condition for the first half of this period, with a loss of 10 points in Texas. Exports today were 1918 bales, making 60, 401 so far this season. Port receipts, 7,044. U. S stocks, 171,120.
