GIVES APPEARANCE OF LENGTH
Attractive New Arrangement for the
Separate Waist.

There is always more or less diff
Guilty encountered when one tries to
combine a high-waisted skirt with a
separate blouse to give a one-piece eff
feet, or, at least, to get away from the
appearance of the waist and odd skirt.
When the skirt is brought two inches
or more above the formerly accepted
waist demarcation then the. figure
IS apt to look cut OF Z. cut of proper
ton. This is not the case when the
gown is all Of one material or color.
In one of the new models length is
obtained by the arrangement Of the
front of the waist, which Introduces a
sort of veil This is Of lace, strapped
across at intervals with narrow velvet
ribbon bands, each one ornamented
with miniature copy of the belt
buckle. Bordering the vest is Greek
key design, done in soutache braid.
This extends around the bottom of the
waist where it shows above the silk
girdle. The style is excel,,a. for an
afternoon gown, and, where one Is pos
sessed of practically good cloth skirt
to be kept for ordinary street wear, II
would be an excellent idea to bestow
upon 1t quite a modern touch by add
ing the crushed belt Of silk to match
he cloth and having the waist made
of chiffon cloth or some soft silk Of
the same shade.

community, as we'll as man Of con-
siderable attainments and Of wide ac-
quaintance in his profession.
The editorial is particularly interest
ing because Mr., Breckenridge was
and apparently is now interested in
the promotion of telephone exchanges
and systems in opposition to our com
pany and because he virtually admits
that at the outset he and those inter-
ested with him could not be convinced
by any information which they could
obtain that our rates, which they were
denouncing as unfair and exorbitant,
are now found not to be so; and,
further, that the rates made by the in
dependent companies are now found
to be too low and must be increased
if the losses already suffered are TO be
stopped

WISE WORDS.

1t takes more than good living to
make the good life.
No day is long enough to waste
any Of it in nursing enmity.
The holy life is the one that is
healthy all the way through.
The unanswered prayer finds its
fruitage in the disciplined heart.
The man who is going to heaven
never tries to take up all the road.
No man is as good as he might be
who does not try to be better than he
can be.
No man needs our pity more than
he who is indifferent to the sorrows
of others.
It's always safe to deny the au-
thority of an opportunity that
thrusts itself in on duty.
The steps downward are so many
and so small that men seldom recog-
nize the grade.
There is some moral disease pres
ent when the sight of another's hap
piness gives us pain.
1t is often worth while to do an
apparently fruitless act for the sake
of acquiring helpful habit
Idleness makes the hours YEARLY
long and the days woefully short.
He can never know any deep joy
who can laugh at the sorrows Of an
other.
The proof of an education lies in
a mind SO titled that prejudices gain
no root.-From Sentence Sermons"

Two friends there, with the dark on their

One was left with the brokenheartedS
Deep in the night of tears.

Attorney Hines says that carriers
of passengers may eject from their
conveyances all persons refusing to
comply with reasonable regulations.
He says that the present mileage
book arrangement is reasonable, be-
cause the purchaser enters into a
contract with the railway company
selling the mileage book. One of the
terms of the contract is that coupons
from these mileage books will not be
honored on trains except at non-agen-
cy points or at station agencies not
open for the sale of tickets.
