CURB STOCK JUMPS.
Johns Manville Up Il Points In
Saturday Trading.

NEW YORK, July 25 P).-While
business In the general list of stocks
on the curb market showed a marked
contraction in volume, with a firm
tone in evidence, there were several
features of interest in today's short
session.
Attention was attracted by the
sharp advance of IA points in Johns
Manville Co., which was admitted to
trading yesterday.
Franklin Manufacturing continued
in demand, advancing more than 2
points, while profit-taking in Cuba Co.
caused quotations in that issue to re-
act from the high figures reached on
the recent upturn.
In the public utility group Southern
Cities Utilities rose s. points and
Southeastern Power made a sharp
gain of about points.

if you are motoring, take along a

ferenr prices, according to how much
you wish to take.
Then, take an electric light extern
sion, so that you can have a drop
light at your bedside if you wish it.
Many of the smaller hotels don't have
droplights at each bedside; let a bed

place, is great comfort. You can
screw it into the center or side
bracket. Be sure to have enough
wire to reach we'll across even a large

An alcohol lamp of some sort is an
other good thing to remember. On it
you can heat water whenever you

pleasant, and sometimes such q cloth
does not dry for several days to-
gether. 1t soon becomes musty and

times the chiffon is beaded, but not
heavily.
Chiffon used with lace is good
combination-it fills the bill to perfec-
ton, when we still demand straight,
close, fiat lines, bodices that are
straight and yet manage to define the
figure, and at the same time Counte-
nance considerable fullness in the
skirt. 1t really doesn't matter how full
the skirt is, so long as it doesn't look
the least bit bulky. Insets and dra-
peries of lace are admirably suited to
produce just this effect.

FIGURED foulard is one of the new
est materials to appear in Summer
fashions. 1t is mentioned in every dis
patch from Paris and is seen occa-
sionally here. AT the races near Paris
earlier in the season many figured
foulard frOcks We're to be seen. Some
of these We're in smart angular design,
while others showed the conventional
foulard patterns. Lanvin has shown
partiality for polka-dotted foulards.
Metallic materials are usually not
considered so appropriate for warm
weather as for Winter. But this sea
Of these gilt and silver fabrics have
been employed This is, of course, be-
cause of the forward steps taken in
making them. They are no longer the
heavy, quickly tarniShed, stiff fabrics
they We're once. Silver and other
metal cloth is now made of feather
lightness and is used either to form
the frock itself or to make the under
slip for chiffon or lace.

In line with the solid gold pieces one
of the shops that cater to fashion
able women is showing really lovely
imitation canoes in Victorian set
tings. 1t would require the close
scrutiny of an expert to tell that these
canoes were limitations.
The larger the pearl the better,
seemed to be the idea Of fashion a
little while ago, and even women of
good taste wore strings OF imitation
pearls around their necks as large,
almost, as nutmegs.. Now there is
demand among the discriminating
for strings Of very small pearls. The
idea, of course, is that the enormous
pearl beads give themselves dead
away. OF course, they couldn't be
real at that size. But even the ini-
tation pearls, If quite small, might
be real. So there is something Of
gentle deception in the new fashion.
YOU can make a trip away from

will remember to take with you GER
tain things to add to your comfort
and health.
To begin with, take a little first-aid
case of some Sort-that is, a case
containing such simple remedies as
you are accustomed to using. This
should include tooth paste, eye wash,
lotions and creams and other toilet
accessories. Add some troches for
hoarSeness and a bottle of smelling
salts.

terials. And the interesting thing
about it is that a large proportion of
them are really good looking. The
reason for this may be that the eye
follows the line of the vivid and bold
figure and is not too alert for slight
imperfections in the making.
Everywhere that clothes are talked
about you hear the comment that at
last the masculine note is giving way
to a revival of fashions that are def
nitely feminine. And this tendency
still in the air-has been felt in the
choice Of fabrics used. These fiowered
chiffons, for instance, are nothing If
not feminine. And there Is an occa-
sional frock of silk net and we are
told that tulle in various soft flower
shades is going to be worn for eve
ming frocks in late Summer and Au-
tumn.
Newer than the figured chiffon
frock is the frock made of two shades
Of chiffon together. Sometimes black
chiffon is used with a light tinted
chiffon with very good effect. Some

Broadcloth has been spoken Of as
material that is pretty sure to come
into the limelight with the coming of
Autumn and Winter. 1t seems to lend
itself to the closely fiaring lines Of
the new mode. Then there is a new
sort Of satin, so heavy that it is called
leather satin" This will look very
well for the late Summer street frock
Of navy, blue or black.
A warm day in June-almost July
may seem an inopportune time to
talk about velvet. Looking through
the eyes of fashion, it is a very oppor-
tune time. July and August have
long been the season for launching vel

Heavy gold jewelry of the sort
that Victoria and her cotempo-

has come back into fashion. So if
you have any heirlooms of this sort
by all means wear them now. Wom-

the shops where antique jewelry is
sold in search for ola lockets, chains
and bracelets of this description.
Nowadays jewelry is so much a mat
ter of fashion with most women that
even the most fastidious are willing
to buy replicas of these old pieces.
They are Of solid gold, but the rep
