there are any number of very pointed
belts to be seen.
clever way of making the waist
seem smaller and the figure more slen-
der is shown in the newest shapes of
corsets and waists. so cut that there is
as much curve in as possible directly
at the back and sides. When this is
successfully accomplished the number
Of inches required in the belt is not so
noticeable. and just as a round waist
looks much the smallest. so this curved
in line a the back and sides breaks
the line OF the belt in more becoming
fashion.
The corselet skirt worn with short
bolero jacket is still in fashion, but it
is newer style-the belt of the same
material as the gown and if not the
same material the same shade of color.
1t is quite an art TO have these wide
belts or bodices At we'll They really
require to be fitted and always 10 be
boued 10 look as they should, but when
they are well made they are delight
fully smart and becoming. Soft finish
silk or satin is good material for this
style of belt. but the light weight cloths
drape most beconinSIy also.
Extremely narrow belts are worn
more by stout than slender women no
matter what are the rules of fashion
at the moment a narrow belt curved
down in front undoubtedly gives a
more slender loot. and yet ii is not so
smart as the We bodice. rather
clever style is the wide draped bodice
so draped as TO give the effect of a mar
row one by the folds of the material
being so arranged. With all tailor
gowns with which are worn shirt
waists the narrow belt of the same ma
teriaI as the skirt is far more becom-
ing TO the stout figure.
Leather belts are immensely popu-
lar this year, and the fashion is in
danger Of shortly going out if the
present craze continues, for they are
so universally worn as almost to lack
any look Of individuality. The shape
that is wider at the back than in front
is the more becoming. while there are
no end of eccentricities to be noted
in the clasp or buckle at the back in
stead of in front and in many rows of
gilt or silver eyeiet holes which
adorn 90 the belt.
FANCY BUCKLES FASHIONABLE.
Fancy buckles are only just begin
ming to BE- again fashionable. They
are to be seen on the smartest of the
new gowns and seem especially adapt
ed to the soft folds of the empire sash
or girdle. but at the same time they
are certainly effective with the wide
silk or satin belts, and consequently
are used on the waists finished with
broad silk or satin belts and are in the
back or front. as is most becoming.

were hidden from sight beneath deal
planks and crimson cushions. After
walking through the circular passage

the proscenium one or two messy
slabs were lying half embedded in the
sward, and everywhere on the stone
walls of the theater grasses and
flowers, roses and brambles in full

profusion. When presently old Bacchus

ANTIQUITY REVIVED.
o A Performance in the Old Roman
o Theater at Champlieu.


Special to The Evening Times.
Paris, July 31.-An hours ride in an
express train from Paris and then a
long climb up the side of hill in a
fOur-hOrse brake bring one to the
wide sunny plain of Champlieu, in the
heart of Compiegne forest. 1t is in
this plain that the Romans, fifteen
centuries ago, established one of their
stations, with theatre, a temple
and a fine bath h ouse. The
ruins of all three still stand, and the
theater, discovered forty-five years ago
and put in a certain amount of order,
was opened on Sunday, July 8, by the
French minister of fine arts in the
presence of some three thousand per-
sons.
Champlieu theater is deep, semi
circular cutting, almost cup shaped,
except that the prosenium, or stage
side, is open.> The uneven, grassy
stage is, at its highest part, some ten
or twelve feet above the lowest seats
of the auditorium, and it terminates
in high green hedge, behind which
are the dressing tents Of the actors.
There are two openings in this hedge
for exits and entrances. The theater
faces north, SO that the spectors are
little incommoded by the sun during
the afternoon; in fact, ii small group
of trees were planted on the west side
the theater in this respect would be
perfect after 2 p. m. Moreover, the
first words spoken on the stage show
that the acoustics are perfect; not
syllable Is lost in the light breeze of
an ideal summers afternoon.
There are few of these antique
Roman theaters in France. and Cham
plieu is not equal in archaeological in
terests to the larger and more famous
Orange theater. At first glance on

Mr.. Hill will be obliged to obtain
the consent of the Canadian govern
ment, but he is in favor on account of
his work in the Canadian northwest,
which is being conducted without SUBJ
sidy. All that is necessary is suffi-
cfent money and Winnipeg alone will
subscribe sufficient to finance the
scheme, because it will mean millions
to Canadian farmers. So far head
quarters on the Great Lakes have not
been decided upon, but Winnipeg will
be the Canadian headquarters. This
system of canals, with the railways
now building, will give Hill complete
control of the wheat belt of Canada.

Historical Sketch Of the Metropolis Of Steele Co.
Its Commercial and Social Advantages.

Hope, the metropolis Of Steele
county, was laid out as a village
in February 1882, and is the old
est town in the county. From the
beginning it has been up-to-date
and progressive and it's citizens
have always been liberal and
public spirited. The town has
grown from a frontier hamlet to
a thriving little city built up with
substantial business blocks and
beautiful dwellings equal to east
ern cities of many times it's age.
Besides its many business estab-
lishments representing almost all
lines of business, Hope has one
of the best Touring mills in the
state, a fine state high school,
splendid church structures, Com
mercial Club, Women's Club and
secret societies representing all
of the leading orders.
The country surrounding Hope
is wonderously productive and
its farmers r prosperous, con-
tented and happy. All small
grains are grown in abundance
and in later years corn has been
profitabily cultivated. No place
is more suited to the home seeker
with small means than is this
