RUSH WORK ON
RAILWAY LINE
STEPHENSON AVENUE SCENE
OF ACTIVITY
Road viii Be Extended Soon to Cath.
olic Cemetery and at Some
Future Date May Touch
Whittier

Several gangs OF men are now work
ing ON the new Stephenson avenue
railway line and rapid progress has been
made in the last week. The tracks arc
laid as far as Camulos street. and the
trolley wires for both tracks are all in
place from Boyle avenue to Euclid.
The work of extending the line is going
rapidly forward and no stop will be
made until the Catholic cemetery is
reached.
This cemetery will be the eastern
terminus Of the line for a time, but
the Los Angeles Railway company has
half promised that when the county
road Is put in better shape the line may
go as far as Whittier. The company
has a forty-year franchise over the
county road to Whittier, which was
secured several years ago by w. IL.
Workman and others.
When the new Stephenson line is
completed, which at the present rate of
progress will probably be about the
first of the year, at least two lines now
running will go over the new tracks.
One of these lines is the Cummings
street line and the other the Euclid
avenue line The street car company
plans to operate more cars over these
lines than are being run now i'll order
that the three miles of the Stephenson
avenue line may be well covered and
the same service maintained on Euclid
avenue and Cummings street as is now
furnished.
With the Stephenson avenue cars
running to the Catholic cemetery the
cemeteries of the odd Fellows, Masons
and Hebrews will be connected at the
same time Heretofore it has been ex-
tremely difficult to reach any one of
these burial grounds.

Gathering Christmas Trees

Not every balsam nor every spruce is
a Christmas tree. The expert cutter
learns to tell at glance If the
branches grow in perfect rings, which
give shape and symmetry to the tree.
He must be sure, too, that the squir-
rels have not eaten the buds from the
tips Of the topmost branches, and that
the cattle and deer have not sharpened
their horns in passing. So eager are
these woodland nuns for the Christmas
service that they woud deceive the cut
ter If they could.

Dressy Accessories

Elements in smart dress of surpass-
ing Importance are the various neck
fixings which are used to embellish the
smartest gowns The little tulle ruches
of the summer are still affected,
especially about hotel corridors or other
places where hats are Worn and no
heavier wraps needed. But aside from
the lovely imported shoulder scarfs,
which as yet are only here as foreign
exquisites, the feather boas are GER
tainly the most wonderful and beauti-
flying OF these shoulder and neck muf-
filings.

Origin of the =PosfmarE

Great Britain, it is said, can, with
out fear of contradiction. claim the
honor Of having originated the post
mark The first one, which was used
in London as long ago as 1860, was a
very simple affair, consisting OF .
small circle divided into two parts. IN
the top portion were two letters indi-
eating the month, while in the lower
half the day & the month was shown.
No endeavor was made to denote the
year, and it is only by the dates Of the
letters on which the mark is impressed
that it is possible TO fix the date of its
use The earliest known was on a let
ter written in 1850:
