The following reports have been received:

Quantities of low quality Vene tians and Italians and low to medium qualities of Whites, have been booked, and further en- quiries are in the market. Clear ancos of Spring Fanetes are quite brisk owing to the introduction of the now Customs' Tariff. Cotton prices have shown only alight Buctuations and Manchester prices are slightly firmer, if any thing.

WOMAN'S WORLD

FOR OUR LADY READERS.

Managing "Wives.

Most men, according to a woman writer, have a horror of being "managed," and this is one of the reasons why they so often prefer. to marry the woman who does not lay claim to great intellectual gifts, rather than her clever and strong-minded sister.

And that, it seems, is where they make their great mistake, for, she. holds, there is no tyranny like that

of the weak over the strong, and that is the tyranny to which a man subjects himself when he marries a wife of the pretty, petted and brainless type.

It is true enough, I think, that a man has far more chance of keeping his independence in the little things as well as in the big things of married life, if he marries a woman with a strong enough personality of her own to cause her to respect that of another.

As a matter of fact, few women who are Intelligent enough to maunge other people by other than purely femining wiles, would want

rule. to marry a man whom they could

The wise woman with a strong personality demands a

stronger,

or at least one as strong, before she will consent to enter into the partnership of marriage.

It would, therefore, be a con- fession of failure, in a way, if she found herself controlling in any way the actions of the man sho! had married to be either in matej or a master.-H. M. ¡n,Exchange.

Dainty Evening Gowns.

HAVE FULL SKIRTS OF TULLE,

Among the most delicato of the evening gowns are those with full skirta of tulle. They were launched some time ago, and they have been gaining in popularity. Whether they are made of rufflo on ruffle, swelling out like a full- blown rose, or whether they fall in long, full folds like poppy petals, they Bro remarkable. White is one of the favourite colours in these delicate dresses, but pastel tones-plak, water- green, aubtle blues, and blue-grey, are beautiful also.

Black tullo frocks recall the charm of Spanish women, thoir faces and their mantilas. With a rose at the girdle, or some other apot of brilliant colour, they never seem sombre. By the way, flowers have changed their posf tion, and are very often now placed at the natural waistline, at the girdle, or below the natural waist- line, wherever the ceinture is, as a matter of fact.

The draping of the crepe and chiffon gowns is very feminine. The line which starts from knco- length in front, and drops to the heels at the back, fa making a great impression on the modo for oven- ing.

White crepe In one of the "off" tones that is to say, white that is pinkish or yellowish, or mauvish or greyish, makes many of tho handsomest of these draped gowns.

Sometimes they are weighted with crystal bende covering the whole frock, except the fluttering draperies. Black gowns beaded In The crystal are not infrequent.

gowns, light-coloured evening however, seem gayer, because they are brighter.

28 To Kft up,

Nover be tempted to jump in bed until all the grime ar cosmetics have been removed. quick washing will not remove the dirt, below the pores: Cream the face with a good cold cream, and after the skin has absorbed what it can, remove the surplus with a clean plece of lint or cotton wool. Lastly, drink the juice of a lemon in a tumbler of water before retiring. The system is thus cleansed and refreshed while sleeping.
