They Give a Smart Touch to the Sum-
mer Costume Collar Slides and
Sets of Enamelled Studs for Tailored
Waists-Season's Vogue of Chatelaine
Bags.
Among the things which add a smart
touch to the summer wardrobe IS the
belt buckle and back ornament made this
year of rose gold colored almost to a
deep orange tint, shading toward old
rose. These buckles, clasps and orna-
ments are designed in beautifully carved
patterns representing roses and other
flowers and in conventional designs.
The other day woman who hung over
a counter on which these goods were
displayed, trying in vain to decide be-
tween two equally beautiful sets; finally
ended in taking both.
One had a back ornament fully five
inches tall by two and one half inches
broad and a double front clasp less than
three inches tall and about four inches
wide, both done in a rose leaf design.
The other set had front clasp about
two inches deep and FIVE inches broad,
and back ornament of irregular shape
almost four inches square, both in a
raised design dotted with miniature
roses.
A second smart adjunct useful as
well as ornamental, is the collar slide of
silver, as thin almost as the featherbone
which they replace. The slide is finished
at the ends with tiny rhinestone or
pearl screw head, which alone appears
on the right side of the collar. Thus,
supposing half Z dozen slides are used
to hold up one collar, row OF pearls
or rhinestones will appear at the top and
bottom of the collar.

that, more than anything else, lies at the

wonderful development OF Alaskan in.

commercial receipts from the Alaskan
cable and telegraph lines for the

upon the system will be met by the

The cable ship burnside, which Is
to install the duplexing apparatus at
the Alaskan end Of the cable. will

effected by tapping the line, from Sit.
