PEELED to admit that if any
young woman could look over
the list and take her pick it
would be Linda. Provided, Of
course, she had sense enough
not to make a long yachting
cruise with that one.
Linda, before falling asleep,
had INDUCED similar bitter
opinions about Jerome. Her
finding of him included other
detail. He had previously been,
she decided, a stuffed uniform.
But the uniform itself had been
an asset until he had discarded
it for a stuffed shirt. Linda
felt that as a naval officer he
had at least a symbolic virtue,
while as a civilian naval archi-
tect any petty officer ranked
him in value, because he was
merely petty without being an
officer.
Jerome, sweltering in pajamas
on fine grass sleeping mat,
and Linda in and on the same,
had one point at least in COM
mon. Both were by this time
Surfeited with this aimless
cruise round the shores of the
Caribbean. Both were overfed

some pretext, even if they had

urgent reason the mind of the
sender might be able to invent.
They were sick and tired of
the enforced companionship of
the others of the party; sicker
and tireder of the heat and

Sickest and tiredest of the en-

Luxurious yachting cruises are
apt to develop all this.

anyway.
Most Clothes Simple
There are a few costumes
such as sheaths of sequins,
dance and ballet costumes, ex'
IRENE evening gowns, and richly
furred clothes that are denied
the most of us because of their
cost and because we wouldn't
have any place to wear them
anyway.
The rest of the clothes worn
on the screen and the clothes
worn by actresses when they are
not working. are just extremely
good looking things that you or
1 would love to have.
The strip of pictures across the
top of this page should prove
this to you. All those girls look
charming. Mae Clarke and Ida
Lupino are sweet as any old
fashioned girl in their ruffled
organizes. Evelyn Venable is
both sweet and smart. Fay
Wray is more of the sophisti-
Gated type, and so wears a
smarter gown. And the fifth
girl. unnamed, is as lovely as
any of them. in a simple little
homemade dress.
Care of Figure
The main reason that those
people in Hollywood look so
we'll, so much better than most
of us is not that they have more
money to spend on clothes, but
that they really work at their
looks. Most of them have great
er natural endoWments, OF

beauty. to be sure, but that
isn't all that counts.
Constant care of figure, COM
plexion, hair, hands . those are
the things that make a woman
look smart in her clothes, and
give her a weu-groomed look.
Any of us could look as we'll
if we'd really try, though we
might not be as beautiful. Good
taste in clothes and a we'll
groomed look are much more
important than beauty, and can
be the possession of us all.

They had got into San Girls
tobal early that morning after
a short run along the coast.
San Cristobal had pronounced
a quarantine on vessels coming
from San Mateo, but the health
officer made a concession in a
case of the big clean million
dollar yacht; owner, Mr..
Thomas Tucker. An honoraire
for this courtesy may have had
a good deal to do with it.
At about midnight Jerome
returned from dining with his
Central American acquaintance
and went off aboard. The quar-
termaster on anchor watch told
him that none of the party
had returned. This was exact
but misleading. Linda had not
gone ashore and was sleeping
in her cabin below. The quar-
termaSter said also that one
of the sailors had been taken
with so violent a collie that the
captain feared appendicitis
and had sent him to a hos
pital ashore.
This, in the opinion of
Jerome, who had resigned his
commission of lieutenant, U.
S. NJ, the year before, was a
proper precaution since the
yachts doctor, a paid guest,
was ashore with the others.
You could not fool with ap-
pendicitis.

at this moment was not so
big. Jerome did not know
what the shrinkage was.
Bitter Thoughts
1t was tough on a man to
spend his whole life safeguard
ing something that according
to, the best authorities he could
not profit by in the next world,
or even be sure of keeping in
this one. But it might be good
for Linda to be fetched up with
a sound turn on the bitter end.
If that were to happen she
would probably marry a great
deal of money with a fairly de-
sirable drawback thrown in.

ing Past Year.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.


Bank clearings in the National Cap
ital scored a substantial gain of more
than $4,000 ooo in 1894, compared
with 1888.
The final figures reported this noon
by the Washington Clearing House
Association, Charles E: Bright, man
ager, showed total clearings 1or the IL
months amounting to s738,690, ,669 AT,
in comparison with total of S6l8,-
459,71270 in the like period last year,
or an increase of exactly sl20, $780,
956.77.
December clearings also reported
today, presented a total of $70,339,-
943.90, as compared with the much
smaller figure of S57,282 POI 40 in De-
cember, 1888, thus making an excellent
gain Of $l3057,742.50.
AS a business barometer the $780,
600 900 improvement over last year
shows the real progress attained here
during the past IL months. The De-
cember gain clearly reflects the great
upswing in retail trade noted during
the holiday season, when so many store
managers reported the best business
in the past five years.
Bankers pointed out today that De-
cember business was probably even
better than the total in Cancelled
checks pictured. The new uniform
bank service changes have caused a
reduction in the total number of
checks drawn on the banks here.
This resulted in the use of more
cash in Christmas shopping than was
the case year ago. How much diff
ference cannot be stated.
Clearings reported by the Washing
ton Clear House Association for the
full year 1884 compare as follows with
the corresponding months in 1888.

HARBORD CHEERED
BY UNITED FRONT
R. c. A. Chairman Sees General
Determination to Cooperate
in Recovery Drive.

The general determination to ad-
vance is one of the most encouraging
signs to be seen in the present business
situation, says Gen. j. G. Harbord,
chairman of the board, Radio Cor
poration of America.
1T reflects a spirit that is valuable
in any campaign, whether economic or
military. This spirit needs also a
willingness to cooperate behind a
leader. In that, too, the country has
made an excellent showing. Honest
doubts of the efficacy of some re-
covery methods have been expressed
from time to time, but on the whole
even the doubters have lent q hand
to give those methods every possible
chance for success.
I'VE should be heartened by the
fact that in the IL months just ending
the number Of companies reporting
profits showed an increase.
Enlargement of services and i'm
provement of products were features
of 1894. In the radio industry, for
example, our company continued radio

January Upswing Forecast.

January Upswing Forecast.
Business volumes in January should
be larger than a year ago in almost
all lines says the United Business
Service in its current report Improve
ment in consumer industries will be
maintained owing to larger industrial
pay rolls, large-scale Government re-
lief expenditures, higher dividend dis
bursementS, and the favorable level OF
farm buying power.
The outlook for the heavy industries
varies considerably, according to the
United Service The best results over
the near term are expected in auto
motive lines, agriculture equipment,
building, machinery and Office equip
ment.
The course of business beyond jan
uary will depend to a great extent on
announcements from the administra-
ton and the legislation which the new
Congress enacts. 1t must be remem-
bered that decisions regarding codifi-
cation of industry, labor relations (the
truce" is still ON, housing, relief
public works, unemployment insur-
ance, the soldiers bonus, and many
other matters must be made.
Congressional debates on these SUBJ
jects will probably blow sentiment al
ternately hot and cold during the COM
ing months, but a middle course
policy is likely to be adopted on most
issues. Confidence is therefore ex-
pected to be fairly well maintained.
Barney Offices Are Moved.
The Washington Offices of Charles
D. Barney & Co., New York Stock
Exchange firm, opened for business
today in their new location in the
Shoreham Building, having made the
shift over Sunday from their former
headquarters in the washington
Building. Business was moving along
smoothly in the new surroundings.
The next broker Office move in this
city takes place Wednesday, when the
consolidation of Hartman & Keech
goes into effect and the two Wash
ington Offices will operate under one
roof at the Hartman Fifteenth street
location The extensive changes in
this Office are nearly completed, in
Guiding the installation of the electric

Washington brokers in general are
hopeful for 1885 but are not making
many predictions One of the most
vital factors in the securities picture
is the manner in which the Security
and Exchange Commission carries out
its work The amount of idle money
awaiting investment may give the big
securities markets a great deal Of
added activity, brokers state.
