has made up her mind to originate
IL new sort Of belt, with buttons AS
its chief touch of novelty. She
either buys the buttons, selectil 6
especially ornamental ones, or she
begs them as souvenirs from q few
of her particular friends. She then
purchases piece of silk elastic. in
whatever color she likes best (pale
blue is extremely attractive) }, then
with a big knitting needle she pun
ches holes here and there through
the elastic large enough for the
button shank to come through. In
doing this she is careful not to
have the holes too close together,
as the elastic stretches when the
belt is worn. A little piece of
match run through the sbanks will
keep the buttons in place. 1t can
be easily removed. of course, and
buttons substituted, whenever one
wants to change the appearance of
the belt. Buttons worked in tiny
vari-colored beads are also effective,

decorating a belt.-Grace Margaret

The Modesty of HOkusai.

Young artists, not gaining distinction
early, have had various instances to
quote as showing that mastery per-
Torrance often came late in life. In
Dora Amsden's book on Japanese art
1t is set forth that this is what the
celebrated japanese artist Hokusai
wrote about himself: From the age of
six / had a mania for drawing the
forms of things. By the time l was
fifty had published an infnity Of de.
signs, but all have produced before

quence, when am eighty shall have

At hundred I shall certainly have

Beach Sands.

A. party of chauffeurs were walking
tilong Cape May beach. One Of them
picked up handful of sand and said:
"Why is it that one beach Is firm
enough for motor cars, while another
iG so soft a chid can hardly walk on
it?" The sand in your hand answers
that question:" the second chauffeur
replied. "See how fine it is" The
sand was, indeed, as fine as dust, as
fine as talcum powder. "The finer a
sand is the more closely it will pack
and, by consequence, the frmer sur
face it will Offer" went on the second
chauffeur. 'This fine sand here makes
a roadbed many feet in depth-a road
bed you couldn't pack more closely If
you rolled it a hundred years with a
hundred ton roller. Study ce sand at
Long Branch or Asbury Park. 1t Is
prettier than this. 1t is made Of sep
arate grains that you can readily dis
tinguish. Each is perfect cube, white
or black or red--a beautiful clear col
ored shape that it is pleasure to look
at. Each is about fifty times bigger
than the Cape May grains; hence the
sand of Asbury Park or Long Branch
won't pack down, won't make firm
roadbed. There is only one place in
the country where the sand is finer
than at Cape May, and that place Is
Ormond." -Philadelphi Bulletin.
