Always snugly itted, and may be with
or without a wide slide in the middle OF
the front. Slides and not buckles are re-
served for this style, buckles being on
medium or narrow widths. Many times
these broad belts, that are formed by
stuffs cut bias so as ITO pull to a snug
At, are quite round, but it Is far more
becoming, and equally chic, TO draw them
into slight points at the bottom. Some
times belts this width have no slide, but
are fashioned more like a bodice with O
double row of buttons in front TO con.
tinue a double breasted effect Of the
Jacket with which such a belt is worn.
Narrow belts that cross in the middle OF
the i.ont to leave tab at each end are
less seen than formerly, and, never pretty
are not to be regretted. In their place
buckles are used. 1t is noticeable thai
many belts are OF a color contrasting e
the gown with which IL Is worn, and car
ries out the scheme introduced in trim
ming. For instance, a blue gown that &
green trimmed has a green belt.

rebelllng American colonies, the Alaska
Chapter Of the Daughters Of the American
Revolution proposes to erect a memorial

Oh, she works all kinds OF doilies for each
sofa, stool and chair
She is unsurpassed at costly Renais-
sance,
With her handiwork so fancy there is
none that can compare
But that button is still missing from
my pants"
Oh, she makes fine silken splashes for
each mantel in the place,
And to beat her gaudy pillows there's
no chance;
She embroiders fancy flowers and initials
she does trace
But that button is still missing from
my pants"
Oh, you ought to see the patterns Of the
work that she crochets,
Her piano shades and covers, they en-
trance;
Her lace handkerchiefs and Tides they re-
ceive all kinds OF praise
But that button is still missing from

Ladder Dwarf" said a former pros
pector. Il never saw the creature my
self, but he is described as hunch-
backed, with n short body, large head
aud enormously long and powerful
arms. In fact, he resembles an ex-
aggerated gorilla. His favorite trick
is climbing the ladders by means Of
which the miners leave the mines,
raising himself with his long arms.

them out one by one. He Is supposed
TO always do this just before an acci-

Inmnicn crocodne..

There are a good many crocodlles in
the more distant reserves OF Kingston
harbor and at the mouths Of the Ja-
maica rivers. but they are exceedingly
wary, and n most cautious approach is
necessary II one wishes to get close
enough for an effective shot.
Just as the lion has his jackal and
the shark his pilot fish so the crocodile
Is almost always accompanied by a
small plover, which perches upon the
scaly ridge OF its back and is just Wis
ible above the filthy water In which its
big patron loves 10 wallow.
On the approach Of man or any other
danger this tiny bird ilutters into the
air and utters shrill cry TO warn its
"chum"
The crocodile dives, and you may sit
IN your canoe and nurse your ride for
an hour without chance of a shot.
The Jamaican crocodile is shyer OF
man than most OF its klnd.-Chicago

a string tied around ones middle-perish

to be fitted and fancy, offering a variety
Of schemes that is practically without

As sleeves, so are belts, in that all rules
are lacking. There is not one cast iron
shape to be followed; they may be wide
or narrow fancy or plain, of the same
color, or one contrasting; in short, they
may be precisely as one likes.
1t is even impossible to say that mar
row ones are preferred. For a time they

was built space was left for ninety
tracks abreast. but no one supposed
at the time that more tracks than
were originally laid would be needed
for several years. The business in
creases so rapidly that these tracks
were necessary and more win probably
