special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. February %
Tinted States Steel common, soaring
to it's highest prices since the organi'
cation of the corporation in 1901, as
sumed leadership of the upward
movement on the stock exchange
today. Whatever uneasiness had
been occasioned by the developments
in the railway section Monday was
quickly disSipated by the spectacle or
the shares of one of the most promi-
nent industrial! corporations in the
country being carried to RECORD
heights.
Wall Street had time over the
Washingtons Birthday holiday to
aualyze the latest news bearing upon
the future price movements of the
rails. The heavy demand which made
itself felt for the rails as trading
started was ample proof that specu-
iatiye sentiment had undergone no
change. With the course of the first
half hour gains in this quarter eX-
tended to more than two points. But
il was the steel stocks which subse-
ouently absorbed speculative interest.
Reports from the steel centers con-
tinued to stress the fact that opera
tions were on the increase, with the
steel Corporation now operating at 81
per cent of capacity. But this could
hardly explain the sudden demand for
Steel common. The impression ap-
peared to be growing that when direc-
tors act upon the question OF dlvl-
dend for the additional stock the pres
ent rate of per cent will be continued.
In view of this belief the new Steel
common was selling on a basis to
yield over G per cent, which was con-
sidered highly attractive in the pres
al r.fzN ,l-
compared with Mondays final of
1886.
New high records for the year were
established by Republic Iron and
Steel, Bethlehem Steel and Crucible
gains extending to points or more.
Youngstown Sheet and Tube stood out
strongly close to its top prices, while
United States Cast Iron Pipe appeared
to be influenced by the support of
the strong pool which has been OPP.
Grating in the stock for many months
past.
Among the rails Hudson and Man.
haitian was moving forward at the
same time buying was making itself
felt in Pennsylvania. Reading, which
had broken sharply Monday, resumed
the recovery which set in toward the
close that day and had practically re.
traced all the loss. st. Louis-San Fran
cisco, after establishing a new high
for the year, lost most of the gain.
Offerings of the stock possibly were
influenced by the announcement that
the road had applied for permission
to issue either common or preferred
as conditions may warrant. Rock Is.
land was carried to within a fraction
of its best while Wabash common at
40, recorded a gain of points. Shares
of roads of the type of Canadian Pa
cific, Atchison, Norfolk and Western,
Delaware and Hudson and Union Pa
cific, were bid up sharply at intervals.

THE HOW-THE WHEN-THE WHY
BY ANNE ARDEN.

80 'Tis as easy to be right as TO he
wrong-and to ones glory
Church weddings, however many
there may be in the wedding party,
are really far simpler than they may
appear. Mrs. Blank--and, strange az
1t may seem. the success of the wed
ding procession is entirely due to the
start at the far end OF the aisle and
the pacing Of the march to the altar.
First off. the ushers lead the pro-
cesslon and are arranged according to
height, with the short ones leading.
Then come the bridesmaids, also ar
ranged according to height. After the
bridesmaids, and walking alone, will
come the matron Of honor, and after
her the flower girl and the bearer of
the ring. The bride, on the arm of
the person who is TO give her away
comes last of all. These are all
grouped in twos as they walk down
he aisle, with the exception of the
matron of honor. And they must
walk slowly but not slowly enough
to totter. and in perfect time.
For this, it is necessary to rehearse
the wedding. In starting off from the
end OF The aisle. let the first two step
off on the left foot, and then. after
they have taken four steps, Get the

across the nape of your neck. The
front hair must be long enough to
brush back to attach the end of the
extra hair to. For evening wear you
may use a bandeau of ribbon, metallic
cloth or silk flowers across the front
of your head and attach each end to
the coil made from your switch. Or
YOU may use the switch as a smooth,
straight band of hair across the back
of your head, placing some sort of
ornament over one end of the switch
and curling the free ends. For more
elaborate arrangement, divide the
switch into small strands; use three
to make puffs and curl the remainder.
Make firm knot of your own hair
and pin the puffs and curls over it.
Wear a hair net to keep all in place.
IL you wish your hair to grow in
quickly. do not curl it with hot irons
more than twice month. CD Not
necessarily. Cancers usually arise
where there has been some sort of
persistent irritation, as in. the case of
cancer of the tongue that comes from
too much use of tobacco. 80 No,
not real ones. An artificial dimple
may be made by cutting the flesh in
q certain way, but the result is a
permanent dimple. The charm of a
natural dimpie is that it comes and
goes with changes in expression.

Spots ON the Fingernails.

Dear Miss Leeds: What causes white
spots on the fingernails? l am a
healthy girl of II years. 1 am feet
8 inches tall and weigh 1873 pounds.
Is that right. VIII you, please, tell
me how to waltz and two-step. as I
haven't time to take dancing lessons
regularly? Is dancing good exercise?
ANXIOUS.
Answer.-The white spots come
when you accidentally bruise the nails,
thus causing a pressure on the nail
bed which interferes with the circu-
1ation of nutritive juices at that point.
The blow may be so slight that you
do not notice it at the time. AS your
nail grows longer. the white spots will
rise toward the free end and may be
cut off. AT bedtime you may paint
the spot with equal parts of turpen-
tine and myrrh; remove the next
morning with olive oil. Your weight
is correct. Yes, dancing is good exer-
else If 1t is not Overdone. When done
