MOdish Reits,

The belt to wear just now is made
of either taffeta, or linen. 1t should
be in white and its shape should be
rather wide, coming up well toward
the bust line; it is also slightly
curved, so as to fit the hips. If well
planned, it will give something the
effect of a princess when clasped
around the waist; but, of course, it
should be exquisitely fitted or it will
be sad failure.
This very plain, wide white girdle
is very trying to the figure and, to
make it less SO, there are various ex-
pedients which one can employ, such
as the application Of white lace but
terflies. These are put on the girdle
in such a way that they almost en-
circle it as though the butterflies
were touching wings and flying
around the belt line. The new leath-
er belts are fitted below the hips in
stead Of above.

The Source of the Worlds Riches.

The world has been enriched more
through the poverty of it's saints than
by the wealth of its millionaires.
Francis of Assist, Xavier, Thomas a
Kempis and Luther; the men whose
hymns and words and achievements
are the priceless heritage of the ages;
the martyrs, confessors, reformers,
prophets, teachers and leaders Of
men, have all been classed in that
noble brotherhood which Peter rep
resented when he became the medium
through which the wealth of para
disc passed into the common coinage
of earth. These men have given
blood, tears, spiritual impulses, faith,
hope, love. What have you to give?

Autumn COlors.

Autumn dresses will be built OF
very thin cloth and their colors will
be the new greens, the new blues, the
new reds and the new tans.
They say that green, which has
had such a phenomenal success, will
be seen this fall in leaf green, goose
berry green and prairie green. 1t
will also be noticed in emerald, grass,
geranium and deep leaf green.
While speaking of the new fall COL
ors one must not forget the leather
shades, which are always much liked.
There is tan which is the most pop
ular shade of leather ever invented,
and there is a pale suede leather.

Russian Sunfowcr Crop.

The sunflower crop is one CT the
most profitable harvested in Russia.
A good crop is worth, as it stands in
the field, $25 an acre. The seeds are
sold by the farmer for from fifty to
seventy-five cents a pound; then the
merchants salt them and retail them
for $3.50 pound. At every street
crossing in Russian provincial cities
are stands and peddlers with baskets,
selling to the passers-by the salted
product of the sunfower, which
forms a favorite food.

Christianity is Positive.

Criticism has it's function, but a
little Of it goes long way, and 1t can
very easily go the wrong way. DouDt
may serve to dislodge error, but IL
never builds, and, INDUCED, soon be-
comes a paralysis. Negation is a
north wind and never comes with the
flowers and fruits and harvests OF
summer in it's arms. The Christian
religion is positive, the most posi-
tive factor that has ever entered in
to the affairs of man; and it is as
tremendous in it's energies as it is
vast in it's scope and object. TO be
in the spirit and purposes of it is to
be positiye.

be predicted. The ofrenses are alleged
TO have occurred prior to any that have

wish to get them disposed OF at once.
Then again, the authorities evidently
believe that he was "a very serious Of

taken that If Meriwether Is guilty II IS

ALEXANDRIA, Jan. IL


Harry Meeks and Herbert Foster were
arrested this morning on a warrant
charging them with having knowledge
OF the manner in which George Curtin
came TO his death. The police believe
that they viii soon have the mystery
surrounding Curtin's death completely
cleared Up. The warrant was sworn out
by Commonwealth Attorney Brent. He
declines TO discuss the case.
Meeks and Foster were seen by The
Times correspondent at the police sta
ton soon after their arrest. Both men
declare they know nothing abou. Cur
tins death. They admit being with him
on the night when he was killed. but
say they left him about o'clock in the
morning.
The authorities refuse TO say upon
whose information the arrests were
made, but II IS thought TO have been
made upon information furnished by a
woman from North Lee street. One
thing is certain. and that is that there
VIII be some interesting developments
In the case within the next TWEEN ty-four
hours.
One thing which is causing much
CONNECT in this city is the failure
OF the dty authorities 20 offer a re-
ward Tor the arrest and conviction Of
the party or parties responsible for
George Curtin's death. The police Of
ncials have no fund upon which they
can draw For expenses incident TO the

men are not paid enough salaries TO
