ALWAYS FEELING POOR

" EARS ago, when Carrie was a

about barefoot on her fathers farm
IN Virginia, she had been richer than
she was as Mrs. Leonidas Grimes with
her establishment up the Hudson.
Everyone knew then that she had no
money. How could they help know

mother turning the colonePs old
suits? But Carrie spent money with
some pleasure in those days when
she had hardly any TO spend.
Then she married Leonidas Grimes,
doing business for a big cotton firm.
and from that moment Carrie began
TO feel poor.
One day Aunt Eugenia received an
invitation from Carrie to luncheon.
Aunt Eugenia. who had had a bril-
liant career, was reduced now to Ovid

less eager relatives. Everything was

Emmeline, curiously enough, bears no
relationship to Emma, but comes
rather from Amaline, the progenitor of
Amy.
The bloodstone Is Emma's talismanic
gem. 1t has medicinal qualities and
was much used by the ancient's to
stop hemorrhages. 1t is said TO pre-
serve the faculties and the bodily

deception, especially Of lovers. Tues

B ON D MARKET
HAS DULL
WEEK
Underlying Tone Is Strong,
But Trading Unusually
Inactive.
By MUNROE ROBERTS.
Copyright. 1924, by Cosmopolitan

(Copyr1ent, iva, oy Cosmopolitan
News eervice)
NEW YORK, March 8.-The bond
market failed to disclose uniform
tendency during the past week.
Trading was comparatively inactive,
but this was said to be entirely
desirable, following the brisk bust
ness Of the past several months.
That the underlying tone was as
strong as ever was evidenced by
the ability of the list to stand up
under a series of shocks, such as
the violent drop in the Virginia
Carolina and chemical issues due to
the receivership proceedings and
the break in the new Argentine IS
caused by the liquidation of hold
ings Of recent syndicate members.
Prices, as a rule, did not more
than waver temporarily, regaining
their equilibrium as the week closed.
Keen observers Of the investment
situation, however, claimed to dis
Germ in the growing volume of
commercial loans an indication Of
prospective Tightening of money
rates, a development which would
initiate against any further rise
in gilt-edged securities. In fact
the softness Of the United States
Government group was partly at
tributed to liquidation by institu-
tons who commenced to find the
market for short term commercial
loans a more profitable field for
their surplus funds. The unsettle-
ment In Liberty bonds was, no
doubt, also connected with the
Washington news that a bonus bill
was likely to pass both houses of
Congress shortly.
Among the individual movements
those of the st. Paul obligations
were by far the most interesting.
Although not confirmed by bank
ers for the road, the report that
the company had completed ar
rangement for meeting its next
years maturities brought tremen-
dous buying. especially in the
per cent Of 1925, causing a 10-point
rise from the low of the week.
Missouri Pacific issues were also
eagerly sought. The industrial list
was temporarily upset by the Vir-
American Agricultural Chemical
bonds were notably weak despite
the reassuring statement issued re-
garding the financial position Of
the concern.
The panicky decline in the French
francs naturally had a sympathetic
effect upon French national and
municipal bonds. Foreign govern
ments in general ruled steady.
Austrian rs attained a new high

quarters the unusual activity in
these bonds were ascribed to win
dow dressing" in anticipation Of the
possibility Of the Hungarian loan.
The new Japan 6h fluctuated
around their subscription prices OF
92h.
Bond issues during the past week
aggregated about $2S,000,00 against
SAC zoo, 900 the previous week and
$31 .000. 900 for the corresponding
week last year.
