BELTS OF ALL SIZES,
Most Of Those That Are Not Six

~ r ITH the pulley belt. which has
sprung into immediate and uni
versal popularity, comes the
wide ceinture from soft satin

wide, boned and fitted as carefully as the
bodice. The satin is laid in careless little
lengthwise folds, and the whole gfrdle
fastens under the left arm.
Oftenest one sees these half bodices in
black but later months are likely to
bring them in all standard Oriental and
pastel colorings affected by us.

had at most two or three belts. which suf-
feed for all occasions.
Two or three to every dress are not con-
sidered extraordinary now.
In general modish belts are exceedingly
wide or extremely narrow. excepting the
feather boned girdles, pointed back and
front Those are often three Inches wide

in other respects they vary little from last

The continued popularity OF the circular
skirt "a far from being assured. Divided
skirts are worn by such leaders OF fashion
as Mrs. George Gould. Mrs. c. Oliver 1selin,
Mrs. Fred Vanderbilt, Lady curxon. and
others. but the majority OF the skirts now
in use have the cut and the hang Of a golf

fgaros are worn, and considerable latitude
Is allowed as to color.

without a murmur.
About this time the agent OF the hotel

newly fiedged connoisseur In the intest

Soon it began to be whispered about in

slippers and offered a champagne supper
to the man who would shoot mole
through them. declaring that they had
been the ruin OF his life. on another oc-
casion he had appeared in the hotei din-
ing room In those identical slippers, with
his ankles swathed in Grape. Numerous
other accentricities were reported or MIN;
the people who had courted him before
now began to avoid his presence, and he
was asked to resign from one OF the
clubs.
One night. not long after this, the sound
of a shot rang along the corridor or the
hotel in the neighborhood OF Browns
apartment, and the clerk. on bursting open
the door, found Brown lying on the floor
with smoking revolver beside him, while
scattered here and there about the room
were scraps of gold embroidery and frag-
ments OF the soles of a pair OF slippers,
which the suicide had evidently torn int
shreds before firing the fatal shot
Browns attorney declared to the news

consumption of alcoholic beverages
in different countries, issued by the
English Government, shows that 36
per cent, of the total British reve-
nue. is obtained from this source.
This is s per cent. more than in the
United States and double the pro-
portion of France.
The consumption OF beer per head
in England is 3I.9 gallons a year.
Germany imhibes only 27.1 gallons.
The average American takes 13 ga

5.5 gallons.
France consumes annually per

Britain LOB gallons and Germany

the problem calls for the highest
and best statesman ship.
The coming presidential election
is sure to turn very largely upon the
public conception as to what shall
be it's duty, Mr.. Bryan, the probable,
nominee of the Democratic party,
has from the first opposed what his
following denounce as "Imperial.
ism" while he favors "Expansion"
in a restricted sense. Thus, the
Democratic leader believes that the
o. S. have through the fortunes of
war become heir to solemn obliga-
tions towards the people of the Phil
ippines and Puerto Rico and in a
similar meaning to the inhabitants
of Cuba. He proposes however that
the o. s. shall simply extend to
these peoples the protection of its
flag, while assisting them to set up
the machinery of self governing ins
titutions.

When the Russian army crossed

and then settled down behind ser.

fend that position. The Russian ON
many occasions endeavored to drive
him out, but they we're as often be-

these officers have given satisfsc-

it will be difficult to fill their places
