WHAT STOCKS DID
NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, April 5-CP-Buy'
ing by mill accounts put the cotton
futures market on its feet today.
The list showed little inclination to
stray, however, and final prices
were up only / to 2 points.
Highlight Of dealings was the &C
tive bidding for the July delivery
by brokers with both domestic ard
foreign mill connections.
The market ignored declines at
Liverpool, which cotton dealers ex-
planned was due to the feeling here
The foreign market was much more
concerned with purely local prob
lens than the domestic market.
OF more Importance to New York
traders was the movement Of tex
lilies in Worth Street. While sales
over the last few days have been
ample, actual cotton in southern
spot markets is going into mill
hands at a slow rate.
Many dealers said, though. that
L IOIAS wv
1urther good sales Of textile should
force them into the spot market.
Heavy overnight rains in parts OF
Inc central and eastern belt caused
concern among some observers, who
saw the possibility of delay in plant
ing and new crop preparation.
Worth Street reproted moderate
ssies at steady prices. Recent in
cfeases in quotations have met with
some opposition by converters be-
lieved to be amply covered for i'm.
mediate needs.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, April 5. -LP- jury
wheat contracts, representing the
new 1910 crop, advanced as much as
1 3-8 cents at n stage today to
$1.05 "a, highest since last Decem-
Der and within 2 cents of the sea-

produced, caused the upturn. Sep.

A two cents advance in wheat at
Buenos Aires, which lifted May to

Although there were private re-

private reports promised no relief.
Crop advices indicated that wheat

True Facial
Beauty in
Fashion
Pencil Thin BrOws
Out of Date as
Pink Powder
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Along with pink face powder and
cupid bow lips, the phpoint eyebrow
line has passed into fad history.
Today beauties strive to keep their
natural brow line, trim and sleek,
and this is easily achieved with four
little tools-a magnifying mirror,
tweezer, brush and a darkening
pencil.
Brunettes with dark brows can
easily attain brow beauty. They
merely have to pluck out the stray
hairs over the bridge of the nose,
and under the natural line. Simply
pull out the stragglers which make
the line uneven looking. During the
daytime dark brows need no color
ing, but at night light touching
up with dark crayon makes them
more sleek.
Blonds with almost imperceptible
brows should use a dark brown pen
Gil in short, light strokes. Never
draw hard line in one bold sweep
of the pencil. Leave the ends of the
brows, and the beginners, a bit
lighter than the arch, so they will
not look artificial. If one prefers to
darken light brows with a brush and
mascara, instead of with the pencil,
the brows should be brushed the
wrong way, when applying the color,
and allowed to dry slightly before
they are smoothed down with q
clean brow brush.
Some girls dread the tweeZer as
much as dentists pliers, because
pulling brows can be very painful If
ones skin and nerves are sensitive.
Try massaging the brows with a bit
of rich face cream, or white vaseline
before plucking, and apply a hot
face cloth to them to melt the cream
before you use the tweezers. Then
draw the skin taut between thumb
and first finger. Plucking will be
almost painless.
The tweezer has wrought plenty
of havoc in unskilled hands. Many
a girl who plucks carelessly looks like
a startled fawn. Never pluck the
brows from the top. Decide to fol-
low the natural arch and pluck from
below. The normal brow line is one
which follows the curve of your eye
lid, so avoid distorting your natural
curve and turning it into a bird
wing or half moon arch, unless you
are a true exotic or think a baby
stare becoming!
You might ask to see the various
styles of tweezers-there are several.
One tweezer which many girls find
very helpful is shaped similar to a
pair of scissors and so bent that one
can see under it while plucking,
which is a great help. Another
tweezer is a clicking, mechanical
one which is sure to get the strag-
gler you aim at. But this tweeZer
should be used only by steady, sure
hands, for it can strip the brow
quickly of too many hairs if one is
not careful.
Be certain that the tweezer you
select is true in its grip. A tweezer
which is bent slightly out of form
will make brow plucking a painful
chore!

Girl May Ask
For a Man
Permissible When
Wedding Is to Be
Very Large One
By EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: If wedding is
going to be very large one, would
there be any bad taste in my asking
the brides family, whom I know
fairly well, to bring my best beau?
1t would be much pleasanter going
with him than alone with mother
and father.
Answer: It is quite all right to ask
for an invitation for an extra man
unless both the bride and her family
are almost strangers to you.
+ X X
Dear Mrs. Post: How can young
man meet a young woman properly
If there is absolutely no one to in
troduce them? These two young
people see each other every day, but
only in passing in the street outside
Of the Office building in which both
work, and sometimes in riding up
and down on the elevators.
Answer: He might perhaps smile
q little as he takes of his hat in
the elevator. While it is not neces-
sary that q man take off his hat
in an Office or other public building,
it is always a polite and proper
gesture. Perhaps this alone may
induce her to say Good morning"
to him. He can also hurry ahead
and hold the door of the Office
building open for her. She would
have to say Thank you" for that.
He might-some day-say "Good
morning" to her. And she return
his greeting at last, with a smile
thrown in! But If all these at
tempts on his part fail and she
neither smiles nor speaks nor even
looks in his direction, then he can
only take it for granted that the
young woman does not care to know
him. And that would be the end Of
that!
Dear Mrs. Post: I wish you would
tell me what it IS supposed to mean
when boy gives girl his class ring
or his fraternity pin.
Answer: It is supposed to mean
that she Is his best girl. Whether
this "best" rating is permanent or
temporary Is more than I can an
SWer.
Dear Mrs. Post: Will you please
tell me If one always must say
you're welcome" in response to
Thank you?
Answer: Whenever the Thank
you" means thank you for the
trouble you have taken, the answer
Is, sYou're welcome"

Select Simple Graduation Clothes Which Conform School Regulation
Dorothy Dix Says 80
Experience Is Valuable Teacher,
But Few Learn Their Lessons

One of the copybook maxims that
Miss Sally used to assign us to
write q hundred times after school
when we had been caught throwing
spitballs at our adversaries or had
failed in our 'rithmetic lesson was
Experience is q hard teacher, but
fools will learn from no other"
But, alas, after we have graduated
from the kindergarten class and
gone through the University of Hard
Knocks. most of us find that we are
even dumber than fools, for we
have learned nothing from expert
ence. We go on committing the
same old follies, making the same
old blunders, falling into the same
old pits out Of which we have had
to dig ourselves q hundred times
before.
Take health, for example. All in
telligent men and women know bet
ter than any doctors do how to keep
themselves well and fit. They know
the things they can eat and those
that are poison to them. They
know when they are working too
hard. They know that they will
take cold If they get their feet wet.
A hundred times they have paid
for overeating by an attack of in
digestion and for overstrain by a
nervous breakdown. But does their
experience teach them anything?
Apparently not. They go on gorg-
ing themselves on food and drink,
and working too hard and playing
too hard. even though they know
the price they have paid before
for their orgies.
Then there is money. Nothing In
the world is stranger than that the
experience Of losing their money
teaches so few people any lesson
about thriftiness. Time and again
we see the same thing happen. The
AS, who have always lived in the
lap of luxury, suddenly find them
selves dumped down on the bony
knees of poverty. They are reduced
to living in squalid surroundings.
They know shabbiness, hunger,
want and, worst Of all, the gnawing
agony of insecurity, Of wondering
where the next days meal Is COM
ing from.
You would think, after going
through that, If they ever got an
other dollar again they would have
a death grip on 1t that nothing
could loosen. But SO times out of
hundred they have learned moth
ing from their experience and when
old Aunt Matilda dies and leaves
them the fortune she has amassed
by pinching pennies they blow it in
on high living just as they did be-
fore.
