NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Trading in cot ton was rather light but the market was strong and averaged 10 to 15 points higher than the previous close The news was of a character to have brought about a much larger advance if trading had broadened. As 1t was, most of the advance really came from seems to stay out of the market on &C., count of uncertainty over~the next bu- reau estimate and no great activity is likely until that is out of the way. The weekly review was one of the most favorable ever issued by the weather bureau and raised hopes that the top crop may really amount to something. London cable saying that increased working time among English spinners is but the beginning of general improve ment in the textile industry abroad was another helpful factor. The market shows a disposition to halt pending further developments but may advance further if frost materializes, as seems likely.-Fenner 6 Beane to Kahn & Virgin.

NEW YORK, Oct, 22.-Cotton narrows down daily, awaiting for the govern ment figures Saturday. Prices averaged around 23c for December most of the day. the higher level as compared with yesterday being due to short covering, because of the strong cables, some trade demand and the Giles crop estimate of 12, 100000. Contracts were supplied by sales against the actual, profit taking and local offerings. There was a dearth of news. The market is marking time awaiting the bureau report.-John F. Clark & Go.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2z.-Liverpool this morning was sharply higher due owing to spinnerss calling and some short cov- ering on account of the increased work ing hours in Manchester. Here the market responded rather reluctantly to the improvement abroad but re- mained steady at the advance through most of the day. Europe was a moder- ate buyer and the basis was reported firm in the south. There Is no change in sentiment, which continues bearish in anticipation of a larger crop, but the steadiness of the market and the growing evidence that calculations based upon last seasons consumption must be revised materially, have checked the selling which was so evil dent last week. More private crop re- ports continue to come out In anticipa- tion of the government report on Satur- day but the figures have not been out of line. The general feeling Is that in consequence of the good weather, the ginners' report will be very heavy and that this will lead to a large estimate of the yield. This is a perfectly natural expectation but to our mind the mar ket is becoming more and more indif- ferent to crop estimates and more and more influenced by the prospect of in creased consumption. Liverpool futures are due tomorrow; December, 13.14d; {;

Finds Loneliest w om an Is
 Sad Case

" ONCE wrote in these columns
 about the loneliest man. He was
 wealthy and the head of a large crporation. His wife and daughter were abroad, with ambitious to marry into royalty.
 This man lived alone with only paid servants. His life was one long corre- spOndence from ocean to ocean. He told me one evening when he was very sad. II am the loneliest man in New York"
 We'll, his daughter did succeed in getting into a royal family. I saw him not long ago and he is still the lOneliest man in New York.
 And now have found the loneliest woman in New York. She Is woman who has had everything in life everything that money could buy, all the homage that any one woman could receive. She has been a leader in society.
 I had lunch with her not long ago and what do you think she talked about! In d most humble way she begged me to let her do something to help me do a bit of work which we are trying to do for the children.
 This great social star wrote me T only want to De 3 humble follower of yours WheI you 'eaI ns the-A will I go be ju=e I have iearnA3 ore lesson in life al ,hat is Lnat we car only get las. Ing aapIHrcs- bE- lc't~ something for somebody @.se. ard am very lonely.

 You who are weak, wan, weary and poor and count yourselves lonely, look about at the countless blessings that are yours to give-generOus help to your neighbor, the kindly word or bit of blossom, or sewing some little dress fro child.
 You have thought nothing of these small matters because they were in the coarse of your everyday efforts, but do you realize that you have kept the sad spirit of loneliness out of your house: YOu have constant contact with real humble beings who when they said Thank you" or asked you about your self, you know were sincere and truly interested.

She Wanted To Sail


 TIT WAS Saturday afternoon, but the
 head stenOgrapher was pounding
 away at the typewriter as if her next meal depended upon it.
 The advertising salesman dropped his grip on the floor, mopped his brow and said. Working overtime, are you?' Well, I suppose with half of the girls away just now you do have to get busy"
 Tt isn't that" interrupted the. head stenographer. T am just trying to drown my sorrow in work"
 "Whew row with the boss?"
 "Somthing much more trying. You see, don't know how to spend my Sat urday afternoons"
 'Why don't you take up golf?" Do you think that anybody who has known the joys or yachting is go- ing to sit around for hours to get on a golf course. and then try to catch up with ball which she deliberately knocked ahead of .her?" asked the stenO- grapher.
 --"Oh, if Sou understood the game, you'd be- as dippy as any golf player -vbut there's yachting.
 That's right, rub it in! Just be. cause I admit to being past 30 it is now my lot to sit on the shore and watch the sailbOats go by. might as well be- a maiden aunt sitting at the fireside alarming stockings" .5.,
 Where are the men who used to take you sailing? -fta
 "AIarried." replied the stenographer. T had no idea that the marriage of any one of those men would affect my life's happiness one way or the other, but with the price of butter and eggs going up careers as yaehtsmen had to be sacrificed Their wives are sitting on shore, too-that's one consolation" !"
 Didn't any of them have money?"

T he Appealing
 Blonde Cannot 7 Be..Resiisted

The Victorian ideal of wOmanhood was that of clinging vine, and of man, sturdy oak for the support of that vine While sthndards have some what changed, it is still true that the clinging vine type of woman, or at least the woman who in her outward appearance preserves those charming and helpless characteristics, is a very attractive and appealing type.
 We can never resist her-the winsome little blonde person, who winds herself around our heart-strings, and us around her little finger in the softest and most imperceptible way. She is as fascinat- ing, and sometimes as irresponsible, as a white Persian kitten. But it makes no difference. She possesses charm. that indescribable but perfectly definite , thing that makes us lend our best blouse to friend, our best teacf0th to a neighbor and the third ten dollars to the man who we are perfectly convinced will never return the first two. She is all softness and sweetness, and by token of the same, her dress, her hair, her jewels and her makeup should all be toned to this central theme in her personality.
 This type of girl should not try to plaster her hair down severely into heavy coils, or brush it boyishly off her forehead. It should be soft and wavy and full of lights and little unexpected tendrils. Her fair skin will need na- turelIe powder to blend with its deli cacy, and touch of Mandarine, with it's light brilliancy to deepen the blue of her eyes. Just a touch of matching lipstick. No harsh outlines, just shad- ing out from the middle. The appeal ing blonde should never indulge 4in heavy makeup, dead white powder mascara, or blackened eyebrows. She will lose her own soft charm and not attain the allure of the type she is i'm itating. She is charming- in decolette, for her skin is soft and white, and her neck and arms prettily rounded. Black accentuates the blonde prettiness of this type, and pearls emphasize the innocence of her expression. The appealing blonde can wear almost any type of clothes, except the heavy, oyerpowering, over trimmed type of things. She is irresisti- ble in sports clothes, with soft hat pulled down over her curls and can even adopt knickers with piquancy and success.
 After course of sophisticated dam sells with bored eyebrows and bleached enthusiasms, the appealing blonde.
