take but little more time to reach Ten
leytown than Cleveland Park, which lies
on the same road.
But while the city is thus easy of ac-
cess and reached in about thirty min
utes readily, yet there is too much local
enterprise to allow the townspeopIe to
be dependent upon the city for supplies
of any kind. Tenleytown, as are few
other suburbs, is sufficient unto itself
Business activity manifests itself in the
presence of four prosperous grocery
stores, butcher shop. which is an in

population may obtain it's hearts de-

From the prosperous farms surround
ing Tenleytown loads of country pro-
duce are brought in for weighing. Many
of the farmers are within the limits OF
the town, but even those outside the
District, in Montgomery county, Nd,
send their produce to Tenleytown-three
pike roads meet there-and buy their
supplies from the local stores. Hay and
corn are raised in abundance and the
public scales which have been install
ed in Tenleytown by the District gov
eminent will soon be busy. The scales
will be opened for use on July l and
operated by the individuals making the
highest bids to the District government.
A charge of 80 cents per wagon load
is made for weighing. and all produce

A plump neck and shoulders have
been necessary in the past. Now this
is changed by what the French style
the nouveau art neck, and a French
dressmaker has described it by say
ing:
1.-The nouveau art neck is just what
it's name implies, a new. art neck.
New art, the art of looking at things
in natural way, the art of apply
ing impersonistic touches to dress
has come in, and dressmakers every
where are Fastening to employ it iii
the making of their gowns"
But the real secret of this new art
neck is it's application toa all kinds of
figures and faces. With a little
study as to possibilities and results
any woman may wear a decollete
gown. To illustrate these possibili-
ties the same French dressmaker
said of one of his patrons whose face
was pretty only in certain lights:
''She lacked expression and her
eyes were lifted at the corners TO
make them almost japanese in slant
They were like long dark Sits in her
face, while her mouth was bowed in
a peculiar way which might be beau
tiful or it might be ugly. There were
opreat possibilities in her dress and

II took the young woman, who
