    FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
New York City. The Terr latest
development of the big armhole Idea
tftkea the form of trimming, and here
to a new and attractive walat that
hows It to advantage. In the Illus
tration it Is made ot veiling with the
Soft Light Gray.
One of the most beautiful linen
costumes seen this season Is of a soft.
light gray worn over a gulmpe of ex
quisitely embroidered white muslin.
Sleeves in Different Style.
The coat sleeves of the autumn are
taking several different forms, which
Is better, depending entirely upon the
style ot the garment and the use to
which It Is to be put. For the tail
ored suit ot the plainer, more severe
sort are shown the slmplecoat sleeves,
but thoy can be finished either with
stitching or with cuffs, and they are
offered both In full aud three-quarter
length. For the more fancy cos
tumes the slightly fuller sleeves are
preferred, and the one shown In the
Illustration makes a most satisfactory
model. In this case It Is trimmed
with the roll-over cuff that Is edged
with soutache applique, but any trim
ming that may bo liked can be util
ized. The sleeves are adapted to all
seasonable suitings and cloaklngs.
Nos. 1 and 2 are made In two
pieces, and can be either pleated or
gathered at the upper edge. No. t
Is made In one piece and Is tucked at
Its lower edge, while It Is pleated at
. Bands of taffeta and the yoke ot all
over lace, but everything that Is used
for Indoor gowns and that Is soft and
thin enough to be tucked successfully
Is appropriate. Velle, marquisette
and the like are to have great vogue,
chiffon taffeta, crepe de Chine and all
the soft silks are much worn and the
trimming can be of silk of the same
color, as in this case, or ot a contrast
ing color, or the trimming portions
can be braided with soutache or en
riched, with lace applique, so that
ettner a simple or an eiaDorate waist
can be evolved as one treatment or
another is decided upon.
... The waist Is made over a fitted lin
ing, and Is closed Invisibly at the
back. The yoke of chemisette por
tions are faced onto this lining, and
If a transparent effect, is desired the
foundation beneath can be cut away.
The full portions are tucked at their
upper edges and shaped trimming
straps finish the neck and the arm
holes. There are sleeves that extend
Just below the elbows and that are
trimmed in harmony with the waist.
The quantity ot material required
for the medium size Is three and one
half yards twenty-one, three and one
quarter yards twenty-seven or one
and three-quarter yards forty-four
twenty-one Inches wide for the trim
ming bands and five-eighth yard of
all-over lace for the yoke.
A Taffeta Jacket.
A jacket of taffeta is worn with a
klrt of broadcloth, the two of exactly
the same shade.
Short Skirt Popular.
The short skirt that has been and
till is so universally popular, has
done much toward bringing about
thia generally youthful appearance
which fashion has taken on, and al
though there are rumors from dress
centres of Europe that in the tall we
ahall be called upon to let out the
tucks and become as old as wo are
instead of "old as we look," modistes
on this side are not giving credence
to any great extent
the upper and is finished with a roll
over cuff.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is, for No. 1, two
yards twenty-seven, one and one
quarter yards forty-four, seven-eighth
yard fifty-two inches wide; tor No. 2,
one and three-quarter yards twenty-
seven, seven-eighth yard forty-four,
three-quarter yard fifty-two inches
wide; for No. 8, one and one-half
yards twenty-seven, seven-eighth yard
forty-four, three-quarter yard fifty
two Inches wide, with one and three
eighth yards ot banding.
Straw Cuffs.
Cuffs specially designed for the use
of woman gardeners have made their
appearance. They are made of woven
willow, which la perfectly impervious
to thorns, and yet is light and not
uncomfortable to wear.
Fichus to Contrast.
Soft allk fichus In a contrasting
color to the gown are worn folded
low over the shoulders with the
ends tucked Into the girdle.
The jeiv Superstition
M
Jt By Benjamin De Casseres
4444444 It. UOLOWIN SMITH In his letter In a recent Sun asks
M
What brute shows any regard for posterity?" unU quotes
approvingly "R. W.'s" remark Unit posterity should bo an
object of our Interest and care. Are we not overworking
the posterity decoy? Tho fact thiit the brutes are not con
cernod nliout posterity may not Unit account for the fnr.t
that they have mailo successes of their lives, while tho hu
man has failed?
Tlio East worships its ancestors; the West worships
posterity. The East lies prono on Its belly offering its tributes to Rhosts; the
West bows Its head In adoration to the ghosts not yet born. Ancestor worship
Is the old superstition; posterity worship Is the new superstition. The old
bottlos are filled with new wine, but tho labels are the same, and the new
wine Is of the same vintage bs the old wine, the vlntngo of man's indestructl
ble Illusions.
We are told to live for the sake of posterity, we must breed for postority,
eat for the sake of postority, bo moral for the sake of posterity, dress hyglon
lcally for tho sake of posterity, anil even die when necessary for the sake of
posterity.
We legislate for posterity, rear a child with an eye to postority, tinker
with the social system for the sake of posterity, tamper with Individual liber
ty for the suke of posterity, construct Utopias for the sake of posterity, vote
the Socialist ticket for the sake of posterity, meddle with everything for the
sake of posterity.
It Is tho fetich, the Moloch, the Golden Calf of our civilization. We who
are living, palpitating in the flesh and blood present, have no rights; we are
only straws to show which way the sociological and evolutionary winds are
blowing; we ore only the bricks and mortar that shall go to build the mar
velous edifice to house that grent family Posterity, nrlcks and mortar, we are
told; nothing but that, nni our deeds have no vnlue unless they feed the bulg
Ing belly of the future; we are as scraps" of bone and meat tossed to that bag
eyed glutton the Future.
We are to be systematized, badgeel, classed, grooved, wired, stuffed; our
instincts, our very marrow, are to bo inoculated with the virus of altruism
and our faces beatified with posterity light, made to glow with the shine of
"right living" all because the quacks that rule our sociological and political
life have dreamed of that wondertlme, posterity!
Man Is always grovelling before some word. Now It Is posterity!
Weak, Impotent, helpless before the Immovable present, he salves his
sore spots with hopes for the future; not being able to regulate his life to
day, he promises himself a virtuous tomorrow; finding his life a failure, he
promises himself'wlth ecstatic eye and lolling, anticipatory tongue, a rapture
called pojterlty something that no one has ever seen, something that no one
can define, something that could not possibly exist.

J transportation industry, the great business represented by
I the railways, without destroying the business of your coun-
f try. There Is nothing else that I know ot that so permeates
i the life, the health, and the happiness of the nation as its
-f transportation Interests. Over a million of men are em-
r-44f P'oyeu uirecny ny tne railways; at least nve minions are
employed by tho railways and the companies which are sub
sidiary to and producers for the railways. Twenty millions of people, or one
fourth of all tfci Inhabitants of this country, are dependent for their dally
bread, tht.-lr he.il n, their happiness upon the prosperity of the railways.
Therefore, l.e is a very careless man and no lover of his country who turns In
and joins the crowd of demagogues who today are howling and abusing the
rallVitys. Your Congress, your lcgislatuics, your courts, must consider that
this Is an enormous question, and one of those which go to the very vitals of
the life of the country. If the present condition ot affairs is prolonged, it
means panic; it means suffering; it means dull times, long hours, and poor
wages for tho working people. Never is the country so prosperous as when
the railways are prosperous. The talk that their tariffs must be reduced, that
the railways are charging too much, is the most foolish of all. Your railway
rates are less than those of any country known to civilized man. A trifling
reduction which you would be able to get would not secure happiness or com
fort to the great mass of people, but might cause great suffering. It might
mean a trifling sum of money to some shippers, but It would be productive of
Iobs to the great mass of worklngmcn.

The rtr,rtljC
I Fountains of Friendship j
By President Woodrotv Wilson,
Qjlflrfj-fis-Af of Princeton. r'f'tiC
T
RUE friendship is of a royal lineage. It Is of the same kith
and breeding as loyally and self-forgetting devotion, and
proceeds upon a higher principle even than they. For loy
alty may be blind, and friendship must not be; devotion may
sacrifice principles of right choice which friendship must
guard with an excellent and watchful care. You must act
In your friend's Interest whether It pleases him or not; the
object of love Is to serve, not to win. It is a hard saying,
I know who shall be pure enough to receive it There
is but one presence In which It can be made plain and acceptable, and that
Is the presence 'of Christ, where It may stand revealed In the light of that exam
ple which makes all duty to shine with the face of privilege and exalted Joy.
To one deep fountain of revelation and renewal few of you, I take it for
granted, have had access yet I mean the fountain of sorrow, a fountain sweet
or bitter according as It is drunk In submission or In rebellion, In love or In
resentment and deep dismay. I will not tell you of these waters; if you have
not tasted them, It would be futile, and some of you will understand without
word or nil-c. I c.- ct'." zz t"-'. when they are put to your Hps, as they
must be, you will drink of them as those who seek renewal and know bow to
make of sadness a mood of enlightenment and of hope.

In
P Defence of the Idler S
By John H. Wllstach
E thought, as we lay at rest on a grassy knoll, that Idleness
Wneeuea no aerence; inaeea, we voiea laziness its own re
ward, end felt pity for those dead-alive people about whom
ll H,- DaI.fAJ VnnknnJ Dln..n..n. ,.. lTI.An nn n . UA Jla
iuc logauvuu okccjovi, so;.. I UJ LUUUUl uo iuic,
their nature is not generous enough; and they pass their
hours in a Port of coma, which are not dedicated to furious
moiling In the gold mill."
Yet, about this time of the year people feel called upon
to tell us not to let up on our work; that we can gain by
tolling in the hot summer months. Still, curious as It may seem, some are
there are who actually apologize for their idleness. If we cannot be happy
without being Idle, Idle we should remain. The Industrious man reaps trouble
and nervous derangement, and meanwhile what of the Idler? He Is a man
lit for the company of the Immortals. To Plato and Aristotle idleness seemed
the noblest form of energy. Action. is the last resource of the man who can
not dream!
A larger volume , of business Is be
ing transacted limn at Oils' time last
year, although conditions In 1906
were most favorable, nnd there la
now the handicap of almost prohibit
ive rates fur commercial paper.
Many contemplated undertakings
await more normal financial condi
tions, nnd securities have fallen to
tho lowest point since 1904, but gen
eral business throughout the coun
try makes fulrly good progress.
Retailors report a very brisk move
ment of seasonable merchandise and
jobbers continue to forward supple
mentary consignments, but reports of
of collections nro Irregular.
Agricultural districts marketing of
the crops nt high prices makes the
payments satisfactory, but at many
eastern centers there Is complaint of
delay In settlements.
Several Btrlkes Hre still retarding
progress, end some machinery Is Idle
at woolen mills, but most Industrial
plants are well occupied and are as
sured of continued notlvlty up to the
end of tho year at least.
Consumers anticipate more attract
ive terms in the pig Iron market, and
consequently defer the placing of or
ders, but most furnaces are sold up
to tho end of the year, so that few
concessions are offered. It Is evident
thnt there la no fear of over produc
tion as the number of furnaces In
blast Increased on Oct. 1, Including
two new stacks.
In some divisions of the steel
market there Is an Increase In the
volume of business, but other plants
find much delay In the placing of
contracts, although a considerable
tonnage Is under consideration. .
Cotton mills continue well occupied
but the only new business reported
In cotton goods Is for spot or nearby
delivery. Yet the mills make no con
cessions In order to stimulate trade.
There Is still much Idle machinery
at woolen mills, men's wear products
being the most uncertain section,
while the status of the worsted
manufacturer Is practically undeter
mined.
New England shoe factories bene
fitted by the strike at St. Louis, which
sent many orders to the east, but
shipments through Hostin still com
pare unfavorably with the same week
last year. Nevertheless, eastern
manufacturers expect much conB
dence as to the future liberal orders
being expected, because Jobbers' sup
plies are believed to be low.
