But just as their fun wns getting started, the. wail of the violin sounded elenr through the woods. Penelope llsn tened in surprise nnd slowly the glad light .died out of her face", and the old mournful look of her perfectly prim and proper days took its place. "Oh, I'm so unhappy," she sobbed.

BUSINESS NOTES Declines of from 5 to 10 per cent in the prices jobbers nsk for woolens and worsteds suitable for the women's wear this fall and winter arc noted. The softening of the market is said to pe the direct result of the slackening in bujing operations by garment manufac turers during the last two weeks. Some jobbers beliee that a revival of gar ment bujing on the part of retailers will bend the manufacturers into the maiket after piece goods again and re store prices to their former levels. t The surplus property division of the office of the quartermaster general of the army is offering for sale under bealed proposals, 4000 pounds of powdered boric acid and fiOflO ounces of chloral hjdratc stored at St. Louis, Mo. Uids , will be opened at 10 a. m., Septem ber 20. Switzerland Intends to Americanize its entire industrial sjstein. Ameri can machinery for the making of watches, textiles, chocolates and other Swiss .products will be installed there as rapidly as it can be sent abroad. More activity is noted In the whole sale women's outer apparel market than at any time in the last three weeks, according to manufacturers and job bers, who confidently expect a revival of buing before the week is over that will rival the July rush. According to a telegram received at ' the Tanners' Council of Americn, col lectors of customs have been instructed by the government of India not to per mit the shipment of skins and hides from India to places outside the British empire without sccuriug the authority of the Indian Government. This ac tion prevents further shipments to the United States for tho present. No rea bou is given for this sudden and unex- x pected action. Despite high prices and hot weather, trade in fur garments, in both the re tail mid wholesale ends of the industry, is brisk. Itetailers, because of the large volume of businpss they have done on their early showings of fur gar ments, are forced to cull for additional supplies from the manufacturers. Buy ers for retail stores, who formerly de- . pended on reorders for filling in their' stocks, are visiting the ""market in per son now and placing orders for new models. Leather dealers assert that active buying' may be expected withip the next two weeks. The decline in purchases, they state, is due principally to the decrease in tho production of finished leather goods brought about by shorter working hours. Manufacturers of , leather bags, gloves, suitcases and nov elties have on hand inorc leather than can be converted into finished articles for some time tc-- come, although this leather is not svrJleient to cover orde , standing on ;hgMkr , V l" "HI
