New lacquered organdies, shim- mering with enameled flowers, have made their debut at the New York Swiss Fabrics Show, the first pre- view of the summer mode.
 Mannequins paraded in summer dance frocks of sheer Swissmade organdy and dotted Swiss designed with full billowing skirts, which can also be worn now in the south.
 Gray and black lacquered tulips shimmered on the surface of some frocks. Others were spattered with enameled confetti dots or with white dotted bow-knots. Delicate frosty tracery marked the weaves of oth- CTS. They appeared in white, pastel blues, pinks and yellows. Other dance frocks which will oppear in next summers moonlight were made of checked voils.
 Many were designed with puffed sleeves and a number had boleros to match. Velvet shoulder straps and occasional floral accents were not ed on the frocks, which were worn with the new high-swept cultures, often accented by hair-bow in the back.
 Daytime costumes featured sim pie printed voile dresses worn un- der boleroS and detachable skirts made of sheer navy blue voile.
 Very sheer white organdy blouses designed with short sleeves, high necklines and ripping jabots were displayed as accessories. They were worn with very short gored skirts sixteen to seventeen inches from the ground and wide rolling -brimmed hats of navy blue straw, set over navy blue veils that fell to the shoulders.
 A number of the Swiss fabrics were processed with a finish which manufacturers say enables them to retain their crispness after laun- dering, if ironed while damp.

If the Secretary estimates the yield is likely to exceed $50 million bushels-which is a fairly exception al yield-he may tell the farmers how much each should hold from the market. Immediately the far mers vote, and if two- thirds de- eide to comply with the Secretary's suggestion, then quotas are man. datory on all farmers.
 A farmer expecting to sell 1000 bushels might be told to sell only 800. If he sells the whole LOGO bush els anyway, he must pay Is cents btishel tax on the extra 200 bushels.
 As an inducement to farmers to obey the quotas, they are offered loans on wheat they carry over.
 For wheat growers there also is crop insurance. No other crop gets it yet. Growers pay the premiums with wheat. If the crop partly or

FRIDAY, APRIL Is, 1888


Astrclogers read this as an unim
portant day in planetary direction
The morning hours are promising
to trade and commerce.
Merchants and manufacturers
have a good sign for enterprise
which requires foresight and conf
dence. Shipping today comes under
rather threatening pcrtents winch
seem TO presage shifting Of ocean
courses and tarrying at strange
ports.
This is not lucky day for enter
ing into new partnerships or Tor
signing legal papers of any sort. De-
ception or over-optimism may inter-
fere with coed judgment.
Under this configuration both
men and women may be inclined to
look on the dark side of things and
to blame every one but themselves
for failures or disappointments.
They should discipline their minds
and pursue well-trodden paths.
Women are we'll directed by the
stars today The aspects encourage
them to make the best of their tai
ents and to cultivate poise. which
will be much needed before the end
Of 1888.
Girls may find this an suspicious
date for meeting strangers and es-
pecially young men, for the stars
stimulate admiration and apprec.a-
ton.
Representatives OF capital and en-
ployers of all sorts will experience
generally improved understanding
of industrial problems.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of good for

too much interest in love affairs OF
domestic complications.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be endowed with sense
of humor. These subjects of Aries
