IHE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 16, 1914

WALL STREET FEELS WAR STAGNATION Fiancial Center Quiet and Forsaken While Brokers and Clerks Suffer.

Peggy Towers Gems, like other things, are subject o iashion's caprice, but feminine fancy For the pearl does not dtminish, for, luring the last twenty , years the pearl las quadrupled in value. Pearls of a pale pinkish tint are much in evidence just now. The popularity f the sapphire remains unabated and ts shown in pleasing combinations with diamonds, pearls and emeralds. Tti mnnnttnne is. as you know, con

sidered a lucky stone and those who are

I bit superstitious win welcome us ix

Coral in rosebud effects with a diamond center and in combination with seed pearls is particularly charming and especially so for young girls. Rock crystal is a new note in the jewelry

Hrnnrtif5. pendants and watches

of engraved crystal are conspicuous for their rxmiisite beauty. An interesting

h- shaoe of a long, nar

row bow, carved from a single piece and outlined with diamonds; in the center is a bit of onyx set with tiny diamonds.

An nrMitv in nins is the love-knot

ing a plaid bow. The V-shaped bodice pins have the added merit of serving a double purpose either as a bar pin or for the decollete neck. These are rf minimi nr of cold and are also

cturtrlorl with nreClOUS StOneS.

Silk cords are used to hold pendants

(earls. Small enameled opera glasses !n H-liratp shades, with the lorgnette to

nntrh arc sure to aooeal to theater

Soers. Have vnn seen the new Taneo brace

lets? A series of from three to eight narrow, gold or silver bracelets are joined either by plain clasps or bands

enriched with iewels. The tonneau

shaped watch has been received with

much enthusiasm. This is worn as often with a soft leather or moire wristlet a with a flexible gold or platinum bracelet.' The watches are now made detarhahle so that thev can also be

wnrn nn a rhain.

A rather extravaeant fancy is the

use of iewelled sets as glove buttons

Thev usually match the color of the

gown and can easily be attached to long

evening gloves.

Necklaces of every description, usually

about twenty-scven inches long, are liked for their decorative merit. Flexible necklaces of precious jewels, set in graduating sizes, are likely to remain a

permanent fashion witn tnose wno crave simplicity with- intrinsic value. Poiret has inspired the design of necklaces

which certainly will please tne most

ardent admirer of the "4difterent" These will give a quaint touch to the costume and are made of a colored composition with hand-painted charms.

Chains of filigree set with amber or

lapis-lazuli are suggestive of the antique.

Clouded amber combined with clear amber beads are among the loveliest

of necklaces.

Veil oins. which are really gold hair

pins, with jewelled tops, are certainly a convenient contrivance.

Bags are among the most important

accessories of dress. Exceeding smart are the green gold mesh bags in a narrow, long hexagon shape, with the wrist

strap of the same finely woven mesh. ! Some of the newest mesh bags are mounted on bracelets and have watches '

fitted in the frame. The party cases

are shaped like miniature trunks and are le dernier cri of Paris. These are equipped with all the necessary small

articles in .trench gilt. I here is a wide assortment of colors to choose from, in either leather or striped silk. Another bag, which really is two bags in one, is made criss-cross in pin seal ; one bag contains the change purse, while the other holds the mirror, powder puff and handkerchief. A vanity case of gold kid is divided into two compartments. One to carry a memorandum tablet and pencil, the other intended for bills. A mirror and small change division completes the equipment. A silk circular bag, which will appeal for the originality it possesses, is in three tier effect, with a silk handle and nickel trimmings. It contains a hanging mirror and purse and is finished off with a silk cord and tassels. From Palermo, Italy, come corsage bouquets consisting entirely of beads. Impossible to detect from the natural are French artificial flowers in various colors, made of the soft inner covering of egg shells. Tucked away in the heart of a silk rose, with the real scent of the flower, is a tiny powder puff.

The European war has played havoc

I In Wall street. That "crooked thor

oughfare," with a river at one end and a cemetery at the other Is only a

1 wraith of its former self. While it

would be an exaggeration to say that grass is growing in Wall street, there

I has been a great difference in the I place since the stock exchange closed ' a month ago. People still pass frequently along - Broad and Wail streets, a few, men

stand idly in the open space at Broad street and Exchange Place, and the cabbies still drowse on the stand be

fore the stock exchange, but all la not as it waa was. , There Is a lack of excitement, of bustle and business about Wall street that never was known there in the days of ' prosperity, before the war came. Not even in the days of 1907 was there such stagnation there. , Everybody Rests. Nobody seems to be in a hurry. There Is no shouting and gesticulation from windows, giving quotations and orders to waiting brokers in the street. One receives the distinct impression that the sidewalk pedestrians are walking to kill time. But now and then a man or woman pasBeB by whose face one can tell they are without jobs. Because of the war in Europe, which paralyzed the markets of the world, hundreds of men and women in Wall street, bookkeepers, clerks and stenographers are out of employment, watching their small savings dwindle away, facing, some of them, the prospect of going hungry before long. The brokers declare that they are no better off than the employes they have discharged. "How could we help ourselves?" demanded one bro

ker. "We did not wish to turn off men and women we had trusted. In some cases, for years. But -what recourse hare we? , My firm Is a small one, yet with the help reduced to a minimum and my partners and I doing most of the bookkeeping, the office expenses are $100 a day. With no new business of any sort, that means our net loss is $100 a day, or 13,000 a month. Besides that I have the interest to pay on my seat In the stock exchange. I bought mine when business was good and paid $74,000 for it. All this counts up. I am living on my savings. None of the brokers in the street are any better off than I am, and many of them are in much worse plight. ,

Baby's Traveling Bad. If It ts necessary for you to travel with a baby try fixing up a wicker telescope for baby's bed in the following way: The lower. part can be arranged ready for a bed. while into the upper part can be strapped baby's other belongings. When on the train put the lower half Into the upper half and tuck baby In.

CENSOR CUTS OUT HORTH SEA HEWS Veil of Secrecy Still Hang? Over Moves of English Fleet. Wbat has been , going on In the' North Sea? That is the greatest mystery of the war, the problem most difficult to solve. It is now a month since the announcement was made that the English fleet had left Uortsmouth under sealed orders to meet the German fleet. The impenetrable veil of the censor, sitting here in London and controlling the enemy's news as well as his own, was lifted for the bare statement. Then it dropped again and nothing authentic has since been heard of the men-o'-war in the North Sea. The outside world cannot pierce the veil. There are no correspondents aboard the warships of either England

or Germany in the North Sea to send back even censored dispatches. Of the fighting on land, the public hears something. At the start there were correspondents In Belgium and every day some news more or less authentic of the fighting In Belgium and in Alsace and Lorraine has been published. But of the naval doinga In the North Sea, not a word. At first there were stories of a great battle. Heavy firing was said to have been heard at sea off various British coast towns. One story sal dthat a German Zeppelin with bombs had destroped a British warship ever night. But all of these reports were effectively denied. It is a fact that the world has learned nothing from the North Sea since the English and German fleets put to sea there. Has there been a battle?

Crap Pompon. "Crape pompon" is well named, with its charming little raised pompons set. at regular intervals. These odd, frisee little dots are woven in colors against a white ground. A black spot Is particularly effective on a white or colored ground, and blue and lemon dots are well liked.
