Grand Opening of Long Distance
 Lines.
MAN TALKED 2,20O MILES
The Officials of the Company Had Am pie Refreshments and Entertain
 ment and Hundreds of People
 Attended Opening Reception.

The long distance and local telephone ex- changes of the Southern Bell Telephone company were open for inspection to the public yesterday afternoon and last night | and for seven or eight hours the people of l this city were in telephonic communica- | tion with their friends all over the United States. The courteous officials throw open their lines and the conversations were en- tirely free of charge.
 A large number of receivers were supplied for the numerous visitors so that all of them could listen at one time to concerts and entertainments that were going on many hundred miles away. In the first place, there was large photograph, and frequently during the afternoon and even ing concerts were given by that instrument, and were thoroughly enjoyed by the large Birmingham audience nearly a hundred miles away.
 Suddenly there was heard in the receivers the voice of woman singing, which sound ed as clear if she were only few blocks away at one of the local telephones. She was singing the famous verses of Ophelia in the demented Hamlet.
 "Who is that singing?" asked the Bir-
 
 mingham operator

 'Is that you, Miss Laura?"
 "Yes, this is me. How is Birmingham?"

 That was fine song, Miss Laura, and We"
 And then the connection was broken and the phonograph band down in Montgomery started up again with a lively two-step At one time during the evening the lis- teners down here in Birmingham were per- mitted to hear a conversation between a man in Omaha and another in New York.
 As fast as the visitors could be waited on each one of them was permitted to call up some friendor relative they had in distant city, to whom they talked as nat urally and as easily as if they were in an- other part of Birmingham. It took usually five or ten minutes to get a long distance connection, especially when the parties at theother end had to be sent out for. But after the conversation began, as the com pany advertises, "it is instantaneous.
 The Telephone Girls
 But the long distance telephones were not the only interesting features of the tele- phone company's reception. The visitors crowded up stairs in great numbers to watch the operations of the local central office. There were the ten young ladies who are so familiar to the public as Hello" girls, but whom comparatively few have ever seen manipulating the intricate switch board.

A Fashion Note For
 The Fin de Steele Woman

Garters of silken rubber, resplendent with gold and bejeweled buckles and caught with coquettish butterfly bows are the fad of the moment The fin de siecle young wo- man chooses her elastics with an eye to artistic effect. The colors of the ribbon must correspond exactly with the hues- of her siiken lingerie The glistening jewels which stud the elaborate buckles must be of the purest water. Finely chased mono- grams must be inwrought to preserve the owner against loss.
 That the fad is an expensive one goes without saying. During the holidays vast numbers of the dainty articles were sold. One Gotham belle received as a souvenir pair of garters valued at $1 ,51O. They came in the form of golden snakes The gold was laid in tiny scales over silk elastic, and thickly sprinkled with tiny diamonds. The head was thickly incrusted with larger diamonds. Emerald eyes and forked tongues of rubies completed the head which rested in an airy rosette of white satin ribbon. A gold clasp of particularly strong workmanship was concealed under the rosette. This was engraved with the full name of the owner.
 A bridal garter which is very elegant is one of white elasticA with satin ribbon, shirred thickly in ruches on either side, the rosette is caught with a love knot of pearls and diamonds. Tiny bands of the jewels clasp the ribbon circlet at intervals. An other pair intended for the bridal trousseau has the clasp formed of two hearts, thickly set with diamonds.

For women of modest means exquisite gold and silver clasps are chased and monoeramed to nestle in the dainty knee ribbons. Many are beautifully enam- eed. but the plainer ones are apt to be more elegant.

An artistic eye. a knowledge of needlework and a few moments of time az all that is necessary to make as pretty. "a pair of gar ters as one could possibly want.
