In this season Of individual
1ty, one Of the best ways to
make a dress look different is
to combine two or more diff.
ferent textures. We've long
been ised to contrast of color.
and now we find contrast of
fabric just as good. The
second or third material may
be used either as trimming,
or as part Of the dress. You
often see canton and satin
combined, silk used for part
Of the dress with wool making
the rest of it, or a rough
fabric combined with a smooth
surface. This is just as true
OF the formal mode as it is Of
sports clothes, or street frockS.
Triple Alliance
One of the loveliest ex-
amples Of this fashion that
we've seen is gown for
formal wear, the skirt of black
roshanara. the bodice of white
triple chiffon, and a jacket of
white heavy lace. held shut
by a big bunch of red violets.
The lines were unusual, but
the combination of three ma
terialS and three colorS was
even more striking. and made
the costume smart and dis
tinguished. Even in active
sports clothes you will find
combinations just as daring.
sweaters that combine lacey
textures with plain stitches,
suits that are partly hand
crocheted, and partly plain,
and dresses that have two or
three different fabrics.

only 81 for the States of Montana,
Idaho. wyoming, Colorado. New Mex
leo, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. The
increase In this area last year was
mainly in Colorado and Idaho, reflect
ing the unfavorable mining conditions.
In 1880 there were 215 banking fail
ures in the South Atlantic States as
against 257 last year. In the East
South Central States, which include
Kentucky Tennessee, Alabama and
Mississippi, there were 141 in 1880 and
152 in 1881. In the West South Gen.
tral States, which embrace Arkansas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, there
we're less failures last year than in the
year previous owing to the drop in Ar
kansas from 1873 to So.
Failures AnaIyzed.
On both sides of the continent there
was an increase in failures last year
over those in 1880. For instance, the
New England States had only II sus-
pensions the year after the panic
began, while in 1881 the number was
33. In the Pacific Coast States of
Washington, oregon and California
failures In 1880 numbered II. In 1881
they were 81. The Middle Atlantic
OtdUSS were ItldIlNely ulluullc llOul
banking troubles in 1890, when the
total suspensions reached 80. whereas a
year later they had mounted up to 230,
of which 1877 were in Pennsylvania.
Out of the total of 3,616 banks that
suspended in 1880 and in 1881, with
total deposits of 662,000,00O, the
number reopened is 400, or about II
per cent, with deposits of about S210,-
100000. The relatively small percentage
of deposits released imposes on the
banking authorities one of their most
serious problems and one that the ad-
ministrative banking measure and that
proposed by Senator Glass attempts to
solve. The main effort of the National
Credit Corporation has been to prevent
further suspensions. The improvement
in this direction during January as
compared with December indicates a
considerable measure of success. The
important work to be done from now
on is in the quick liquidation of in
solvent banks and the release of funds
still unavailable to depositors and con-
stituting an amount nearly double the
accepted figure of money in boarding
throughout the country.

NEW YORK, January 30.-There is
strong argument in the statistics Of
bank failures presented in the Federal
Reserve bulletin for January for that
section of the Glass banking bill which
would encourage present non member
institutions to ally themselves with the
Federal Reserve System.
OF the 2,290 total of bank suspensions
reported for 1881, no less than 1880, or
about 80 per cent, were of State and
non-member institutions. They repre-
sented 10 per cent Of the total of
Sl,759, 9,484, 900 deposits involved. Many
of them were incorporated during the
period between 1900 and 1920. when
there was an increase in banks doing
business from 10000 to 10000, and, as
Ogden L. Mills, Undersecretary of the
Treasury, stated In his address before
the American Acceptance Council Mon

Weakness in Banking Structure.
During 1881 there was total Of 1913
bank failures within the two geo.

which had 500 failures, and the second
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, South Da-
kota, North Dakota, Nebraska and
Kansas, with 709. In 1890 these two
divisions had total Of 692 failures, so
that for the two years they have wit
messed the closing of over 1000 of their
banks, or so per cent of the entire
number of suspensions in the United
States.
This obviously indicates a weakness
in the banking structure and in bank

effort of Congress to improve when 1t
gets around to it. OF course, the tre-
mendous decline in farm products and
in the value of farm lands has been
an important factor in causing the
downfall of banks in agricultural
States. The fact remains that this
section of the country was as much
overbanked as was that in the North
west soon after the war. The latter
territory experienced defation eight or
ten years ago. Consequently, it has had
comparatively few banking failures the
past two years, with total in 1881 OF
