Fashion Small Talk.

I suppose you have about come to the conclusion that l. Is time for a little fashion talk.
 We will take up belts, if you please, In the sketch you will observe an ar nouvcau belt, so called from the buckle, which are of that style. There is wide one in ths back and a narrower one in front. The belt proper Is formed of two velvet ribbons crossed on the sides and allowed to hang in two knotted ends in the back. Then there are any number of popular postillion effects, notably one in which there are three tabs in the back, the center one longer than the two out side. Any girl can make this out of mar row velvet ribbon. Nearly all the new belts are graduated.
 The separate blouse is not such an i'm portant feature in the fall shops as for merly. Still we must wear these with the tailor made suits, and the accompa nying sketch will perhaps suggest smart winter waist either Tn flannel or peau d. soie. The model is particularly good because the front is fancy, and that is the part which shows when the coat is thrown open.
 The blouse is laid in clusters of three tIcks on both the body and sleeves.

Now that the larger portion of Mont gomery County has excellent graveled roads and rural mail delivery. both of which are being gradually extended one other convenience of modern civilization is necessary for the further develop ment of the agricultural sections. This is the rural telephone that eliminates the isolation from farm life as nothing else will. makes neighbors of widely separated families and puts them in touch with town and cities, with their markets and the world.
 Of course people can get along without them. but so they can without the mail or their sewing machines. cook stoves or graveled roads. To have a highly devel- opjed agricultural section country life must be made more attractive and less monotonous.

Then, turning angrily to one of the stage hands, h easked:
 Why are those women sweeping there when the curtain is up. The stage man. ager must be crazy" Then, yelling at the female figures on the stage: Hey! Get off there! Get off,
 "Why, Mir. Stetson," said the sta ge manager, rushing up, they are the witch es.-part of the play, you know!"

 The cost of the outfit will be less than the city man pays out for rent and the farmer will own his own instrument and line whereas the other owns nothing.
 The telephone may be said to consist Of six parts: the nagneto bell the auto matic hook the receiver. the transmit ter, the induction coil and the batteries
 The magneto bell is used for signaling and has nothing to do with the talking parts of q telephone.
 The automatic hook IS 10 oreak the talking circuit when the telephone is not in use preventing the premature eX- haustien of tho battery and 10 comple,e the talking circuit when the telephone IS not in use,
