The Seductive Shawl.

The shawl Is undoubtedly the most
graceful and beautiful article OF
woman's apparel. 1t is so decorative
and flowing that it is universally be-
coming to all types Of women, and IT
is believed to have greater antiquity
than any other garment. The shawl
IS of Oriental origin, and in the East
It is worn alike by men and women.
The "old Cashmere shawl was a
treasure in the wardrobe of our grand
mothers, and fortunate indeed Is the
woman who can bring forth from its
camphored seclusion one of these heir
looms with its priceless associations.
For priceless" is right, if we go out
to buy one of these genuine Oriental
works of art, in all its splendid color
ings and brilliancy.
The shawl was first introduced into
Europe at the time of Napoleon's re-
turn from Egypt. where he was fasci-
mated by the alluring garments worn
so lavishly by the Orientals. 1t is
said that he bought for the Empress
Josephine over four hundred OF these
shawls at one time, and that one of
his caprices was that he should never
see the same shawl upon her shout
ders twice in succession.
From Sunny Spain, land of the
senoritas and toreadors, come the rich
and colorful fabrics which made such
RI lldSlllIlS cIllLCC a low SCdSoiio oeO.
These are gorgeous with silk embroid-
cry in scarlet, yellow and orange
shades. But the American version has
been to tone down these stunning
colors to something less fierce and
fiery, so that we have many Spanish
shawls of heavy silk embroidered in
faint lilac or deep mauves, with a
fringe Of darker purple; or possibly
with the brilliant orange subdued to
burnt umber or palest corn or ivory.
Italy sends us exauisitely hand
embroidered examples that are not
beyond the reach of our purses. There
are also excellent machineworked
replicas of the designs on large
shawls, with the embroidery so skill
fully done that it appears to have
been put on by hand. The Italian
shawls are, as a rule, more delicately
colored and are more often developed
with long worsted fringes.
The Russian type is based on the
Spanish styles. but 1t has painted de-
signs in place of the embroidered
flowers, butterflies or birds character
istic of the original shawls. But the
Russian shawls are more fantastic In
motif, and more blocked In effect,
with wider splashes of color.
The peasant shawls from Italy and
the Balkans are likely to be Of much
heavier wool crepe, with worsted EN-.
broidery.
There is a right and wrong way to
wear a shawl. To be most effective

How to Make Hat Boxes for Travel
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

II you have tried to pack hats in a
suitcase, you we'll know how hard 1t is
to do so, unless the crowns be Of the
crushable variety. Many hats have
not this kind of crown, and then the
packing Of them becomes a problem.
This article on how to solve the
problem Of carrying hats Is especial
ly for those whose purses are slim and
whose tastes stylish. To be up to date
and economical are things not too
easy to combine. But there are ways
of doing 1t which no one else will ever
suspect, unless you choose to tell them

protection.
1t is as easily disposed of as
a piece of tissue - ending an
old-time embarrassment.
II is deodorized. And that
prevents danger of offense.
You get it at any department
store or drug store, just by
saying "Kotex." And that
banishes the embarrassment
of asking for a sanitary pad
8 in every 10 women in the
better walks of life have
adopted it. Which proves its
benefits.
1t will mean much to you in
health, in daintiness and pro-
lection. 1t proves old ways a
needless folly.

CHICAGO, September 9.-With
prospects that the Government crop
report this afternoon would show a
somewhat larger yield of Spring
wheat than was predicted month
ago, the wheat market today showed
an early downward trend. The fact
that Liverpool quotations were unre-
sponsive to yesterdays advance here
was also a bearish influence. On the
other hand, rain in Canada and indi-
cations of possible frost there acted
as something of an offset. Chicago

additional setback and then by tran

Rains in the corn belt led to lower
prices for corn and oats, notwith- :
standing assertions that much of the
damage from recent hot weather was
beyond repair. After opening un-
changed to u cent lower, December

eased down a little more.
Lower quotations on hogs weak

Wheat prices developed unexpected
strength today in the late dealings.
Buying that lifted values was ascribed
largely to the circumstances that the
heavy movement of new wheat in
the Northwest has not been eXercis-

NEW YORK, September 9.-The
upward movement continued in the
greater part of the stock list today. AT
the same time the buying broadened
out, taking in more issues. At various
stages prominence was given to the
rails, because of the record breaking &
traffic figures, then to the merchandise
ing shares, representing the activity OF
the retail trade; then to the rubber
and tire stocks, to some of the motor
accessories, to the oils and. as usual
to the high-priced industrials easily
put up on account of their small out
standing supply.
Oil Shares Turn Active.
When the oil stocks, after their
long period of inactivity, were finally
taken up, the buying c me with a
rush. Traders had been impressed
for some time with the fact that these
stocks refused to go down, even
under the bad news of the price cut
ting. The advance started with
Marland, California, Pete, Pacific Oil
and Texas Co., but quickly spread
into other representative members of
the group like Phillips, Sinclair, Inde-
pendent Oil and Gas, Houston, Skelly
and General Petroleum. There was
urgent short covering in Pan Ameri-
can "B."
Among the merchandising stocks
Macy made a new high. the two big
mail order issues-Sears Roebuck and
Montgomery Ward-were very strong
while Gimbel Bros, Woolworth and
May Department Stores We're all in
demand. Cudahy and Armour IA
were strong.
High-priced industrials were bid
with uin
them Chrysler, which was responding
to capital split-up talk; Fleischman
General Electric. Westinghouse Air
Brake, American Ice, California
Packing, Foundation Co, Postum
Cereal and International Shoe.
AS a sequel to the campaign in the
automobile stocks, shares of motor
parts companies came in for more at
tention. The leaders in this quarter
were American Bosch Magnetic, Stew
art Warner and Eaton Axle. Fitting
in with this movement was the
strength of the rubber and tire shares
especially Goodrich. this in conse-
quence of the very much improved
results reported for the first half year
and the expectation of still further
Improvement during the second half.

Foreign List Has New Points

Bonds Advance.
BY GEORGE II. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 9.-No con-
Germ was apparent in the bond trad
ing today over the trend toward high
err money in the market for call loans
High-grade investment issues were
steady, although quiet, the chief in
terest of the day being centered, as
on Tuesday, on the foreign group.
The feature today was found in the
French bonds, French Republic Is at
93A making a new high for the year,
compared with the record high reach
ed in 1924 of 94B. Other French gov
ernment bonds were strong, but
French municipals reacted slightly.
German Is were again in demand,
equaling their record high above 80.
Austrian rs sold at par again.
Brazil Bonds Improve.
In the South American group there
was moderate improvement in Brazil
rs and Brazil IS, although nothing
has developed in this market com
parable with the increased favor
shown the Brazilian obligations in
London. The new Australian 5s were
a shade higher. All the Belgian
bonds except the 7As did better. An
ton Jurgen 6s made further recovery.
Convertible oil bonds were the lead
ers among the domestic industrials.
Sinclair 6s and Skelly SIS were es-
pecially strong. International Tele-
phone and Telegraph 5hs reached a
new top at 104. American Ice Is went
up with the stock.
FavOrites Among Rails.
The favorites among the rails were
the same as earlier in the week
namely the Florida Western and
Northern Is and Denver Rio Grande
Western 5s. There was a special run
up in St. Louis Southwestern con
Solidated As.
New offerings are still on a small
scale. The total for last month was
the lowest since October. 1928, and
the present outlook is not for any
large increase.
