John T. Flynn well known hui
man reactions. Take, for instance, a
commodity like hides.
Prices Of hides at Chicago scared
100 points In day. Immediately
tanners decided 1t would be unwise
to sell at the current prices and
promptly bottled up the supply.
It is the most natural thing in
the world for the hide trade, which
has had plenty Of trouble since the
last war, now that 1t sees a hope Of
selling Its product at higher prices,
to hold on to Its stocks until the
prices get high enough. And the very
act Of holding on gives q further
boost to the price.
PRICE RISE
is INFECTIOUS
The war Immediately affected the
prices Of things like copper, hides,
leather, wooden ana worsted goods,
burlap. woodpulp, chemicals and
drugs and for various reasons.
Some were affected because foreign
supplies were cut of. Some were af-
fected because Of rising demand from
foreign countries. Later, doubtless,
steel, manufactured metal products,
ETC., will be affected.
Farmers think they can hold their
wheat for the big European demand
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1939-09-19

and the same Is true Of hogs and
other meats and some foods.
All prices, OF course, are not af-
fected. But so startling q price rise
as has occurred In certain articles is
more or less infectious and prices
have tended to move up all along the
line. They should, except in certain
articles, adjust themselves.
CLIMB m PRICES
MUST BE CURBED
This is a matter of grave import
ance to the ordinary citizen. A gene
raj boost in prices Is equivalent to a
corresponding reduction In his wages.
And In this way the war In these first
two weeks has reached into the
pocket Of every citizen.
But this has a more serious aspect.
II the price rise Is not curbed, 1t will
do to us what 1t did In 1896 when
foolish manufacturers and dealers
put up prices and choked off the

By CHERIE NICHOLAS

There isn't any type dress that
looks so new this midsummer and
so strikingly lovely as does the gown
OF sheerest white that is Iavished
with exquisite detail, notably fine pin
tucking, loads of daintiest lace
edgings and that which is most
outstanding of all-the use of quaint
beading through which tiny ribbons
have been drawn in the good old
fashioned way.
Not only are dotted swisses, sheer
organzas and nets feminized in this
way to look their sweetest, but
pretty sprigged dimities, cloque or
CANDIES and fiowery flmy printed
materials are lace-laden, pin-tucked
and ribbon-trimmed in like manner.
To accent the quaint turn of af-
fairs necklines are made to look as
If copied from the daguerreotypes
of the long ago costumes. The
drop-otf-shoulder type is a favorite
and the extremely low-cut square
neck is also adopted, which together
with short puff sleeves looks every

THE original intention was to Of
n fer in these few paragraphs sug-
geStions as to fashions 0r women
who register in the frankly forty"
class. However, the more we think
of it, what with beauty-parlor magic
and fashion necromancy that per-
forms miracles these days in Great
ing youthful dress, we begin to have
our doubts as to whether the frank
ly forty with emphasis on frank
Ivy idea fits into the modern
scheme of things,
However, being forty even though
not frankly SO has lost it's terrors
for modern women so far as the
dress problem is concerned, for the
problem that confronted the "for-
ties," likewise the forties-plus, in the
past is really not a problem at all
in these modern times thanks to
style creators who have become in
creasingly alert to the call for fash
ions for women that give the young
look, yet not so obviously young
as to overstep the bounds of good
taste.
Subtly and artfully, contemporary
designers are handling this ques-
ton of dress that will accent youth
full charm at the same time that it
grasses traces of birthdays that count
to forty and past. You can even go
to specialized dress departments
nowadays, take your saleswoman
into confidence, and under her ex-
pert guidance be turned out in new
apparel that is age defying.

Cotton and Linen
Are Big Favorites

More than ever are women con-
scious this year of the laundering
possibilities of their clothes. Per-
haps that is why cotton and linen
are prime favorites, whether dis
guised as Gypsy, little-girl or Dutch

Girls who like to do their own

Autumn Millinery
In Paris Display

The first new millinery collections
shown in Paris are the prelude to
fall and winter fashions.
Among the fall perennials in the
millinery realm which invariably
make their appearance about this
time are high crowns, lofty trims
and berets. Big berets are among
this seasons most striking novelties.
They really do bring something diff
ferent into this old reliable headline.
Forecast for winter is a revival of
real old-time Paris millinery-rich,
feminine, unusually luxuriant in
trimming. Ostrich plumes are often
combined with bows or flowers or
fastened onto the hat with glittering
jeweled pins.
