Weekend Switching of AC'

Price Changes.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOsIL.
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, April 12.-Extensive
week end readjustment of speculative
accounts brought about considerable
irregularity in price movement in to-
days market. Such selling as occurred
was largely a correction of top-heavy
speculative positions built up in the
last week or two, with the market gen.
orally showing underlying strength and
as yet giving no evidence of any definite
change in the general upward trend
which it has shown this year.
Trading was moderately heavy in
volume, the days sales running close
to 100000 shares.
Allied Chemical was again an out
standing feature, soaring more than IL
points to new high at 343 on top of
a gain of 1415 points yesterday. The
stock had sold as low as 255A this year.
Monsanto Chemical advanced nearly 4
points. Recent strength of the chemical
shares has been influenced, in part by
the increasing use of chemicals in
industry and agriculture.
Public utilities, which were the chief
object of selling attacks in the early
trading, developed several points of
strength as the market drew to close.
American & Foreign Power and Detroit
Edison were marked up nearly points,
American Water Works converted an
early loss into a gain and early recess
sions of l to 3 points in many of the
other recent leaders were cut down.
International Telephone crossed 70 on
a heavy turnover.
Several of the department stores is

Easter trade. Hahn and Abraham &

What's in FashiOn?.
Directed bv AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, June 10.-what
are the fashions Paris likes?
Are they the popular American
fashions? They certainly are!
That fact is surely definitely
proved by any thoroughly sound
fashion-check on the most re-
cent models shown by the Inn
portant Paris dressmakers.
And by check on what the
private American and European
customers of these dressmakers
are buying and wearing. That's
the important thing-what is
bought of what is shown.
We've checked these facts
through our fashion reporters
busy checking and rechecking
in Paris. And they show that
what's in fashion in America is
in fashion in Paris! Paris
agreesl
X "
BOIerOs. One of the things
women all over the country
have been buying and wearing
all spring.
Practically all the leading
dressmakers in Paris-the ones
like Chanel, Lanvin, Jenny and
Martial ct Armand-are still
showing boleros.
All sorts of Boleros. Boleros
that are separate jackets. Bole-
roS that are jackets attached to
a dress. Boleros that aren't real
boleros at all, but deep tucks or
applied bands of material that
just look like a bolero.
They're becoming. you know.
No matter what kind of figure
you have. And we predict
American women will be wear
ing them for a long time to
come!
Belts. Belts on coats. Belts on
dresses. Belts on suits. Belts at
the normal waistline, as a
rule.
Belts are in! Decidedly in.
And the Paris dressmakers
know it. They're still using
them. On coats. On dresses.
On sports wear. Even on eve
ming dresses.
Chanel is showing some lovely
evening dresses with belts of
brilliants. Lots of belts Of
self-material are used. Lots of
leather belts on coats and
sports wear.
Vionnet, Chanel. Lelong, Jane
Regny, Premet-and any num-
ber of other Paris designers
are all using belts on their
newest models.
You've seen thousands and
thousands of capes this season.
You've seen them on coats and

The Trend of
S1lVerWare
FaShiOnS
By Wilma La Vile

As We said not long ago IN
writing of fashions in silver.
ware, there are several notice.
able, trends, chief among them
the feeling that women now
have for finer things of more
lasting value, for instance, the
vogue for sterling silver. =
Even in the setting of the
breakfast table, there are va
rious changes that make the
table look vastly different from
the table that we sat down to
when we were children. The
photograph of a beautifully set
table for breakfast that we are
reproducing today shows many
of these changes.
The china is in a wedgewood
pattern of Colonial period. Ths
glassware is Georgian. which
harmonizes perfectly. The sill.
yer, which is sterling. is in .
delicate pattern that might be
used not only for an early
American dining ROOM but with
almost any period.
Notice that desert knives
and forks are used instead Of
the larger size dinner forks.
Of course, if you have only
larger forks or knives they will
be quite correct, but the
smaller sizes are nice for break
fast if you have them.
Orange or grapefruit spoons
are so much more convenient
for their special use than are
teaspoons though again if you
haven't them. it is permissible
to use teaspoons. For a cereal,
the table is set with desert
spoons. Considering their sew
eral uses. they are a good in
vestment for any hostess.
Butter spreaders are smart on
the breakfast table for the
family as well as for a formal
dinner. ....
The flowers used in the cen
ter of the table are real. It's
always best to have the deco
ration of real flowers or real
fruit when they are available
and flowers should be low SO
that they don't obStruct the
view of the people at the table.
A decoration of fruit is per-
misSable for breakfast or for
informal family luncheon. but
for other occasions. flowers
are better.
