Who Spoils the Children?
There was a discussion held recent
ly among a crowd of men about the
spoiling, of children. Some of the men
said it was the father’s fault: “They
give the beys about the same amount
of time every day that it takes them
to shave. If they took the job of
father seriously and really put some
time and thought on it, there would be
a different story.” But most of the
fellows seemed to blame the mothers.

NEW YORK COTTON.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, . T >ec. 17.—The cotton
market opened at a decline of 1 to 4
points today, and sold about 11 to 14
points net lower during the early
trading under January liquidation.
Wall street and local selling, and in
sympathy with relatively easy cables.
Trade interests were moderate buy
ers on the decline, which carried
prices down to 1120 for January,
12.08 for March and 12.30 for May,
and the early advance in the stock
market suggested rather less nerv
ousness over international politics,
but the market remained more or less
unsettled at the end of the first hour.
The census report showing 38/1,927
bales of linters obtained prior to De
cember 1, against 341,142 last season,
although the amount of cotton seed
crushed was only 1,981440 tons,
against 2,473,931 last year, caused
some surprise around the ring, but
did not seem an important factor in
the early trading.
Stop orders were uncovered as the
market worked lower toward the mid
dle of the morning with the break ex
tending to 11.77 for January, 12.94 for
March, and 12.28 for May, or slightly
under the low level of last Monday
on the near positions. Southern spot
houses and some of the local trade in
terests were buyers on this decline
and there were rallies of € to 7 points
from the lowest around midday.
After the midday rally to about
11.87 for January, 12.14 for March,
the market weakened again under re
newed liquidation with January sell
ing off to ia.75, March to 12.01 and
May to 12.26 or about 18 to 19 points
net lower toward the middle of the
afternoon.

ONE-PIECE FROCK IN JACKET EFFECT.
featured In this frock for Autumn. The
jacket effect is a novelty for one-piece
models.
• There is no more effective way oT
combining simplicity and chic them in.
this one-piece frock made with Jacket
effect. The waist is made with an open
neck, which is finished with a turn
down collar of contrasting material.
Men’s wear serge is both serviceable-
and pretty for the design, the narrow
soutache braid making an effective*
trimming. Buttons of velveL to cor
respond with the collar and sleeve
trimmings, are also a stunning addi
tion to the dress, which requires, for
average size, 3% sards 64-inch ma
terial, with % yard contrasting silk or
velvet for the collar, buttons, etc. The
belt appears at the front and back of
the dress, while the peplum extends
only around the back and sides, being
pleated at the back.
It requires rigid economy to cut the
dress from the .amount of material
stipulated. After the serge Is folded in
half the first section of the pattern to
be placed into position on the length
wise fold is the back'of the waist. Op
posite to this, with the straight edge
resting on the selvage, is the front
gore. Next to the front gore Is the
front of the water.; then below the
waist front, but on the lengthwise fold,
the back skirt gore. The collar, pleat
ed section of the peplum and belt are
laid on a lengthwise fold, and above
them rests the sleeve, on a lengthwise
thread.
For the waist lining back and front
there will be needed % yard 36-inch
niaterial. This is folded first, after
which the back te laid along the length,
wise fold, with the front oh a length
wise thread, just to the opposite, so
that it touches the selvage.
In the place of velvet or satin, fur
may be used for the collar. Fox furs
of various kinds are in excellent stand
ing, while beaver and gray krimmer
are equally in demand.
What the one fad fur of the season
