Jewels on the Girdle.

Tho very latest thing in French and
seniprecious jewelry is its application to
belts and girdles- The painted belt has
had its day and the embroidered belt we
have always with US; but the jeweled
belt in Just this style is an innovation.
and an extremely pretty and fashionable
one it is
These gfrdles may be entirely of metal
and stones; they may have a foundaoon
Of kid or linen; or they may be sewed
on the flexible elastic An oxidized silver
chain belt Is a charming example of the
first class Except for the large buckles
at front and back and the small ones
at either side, it consists simply Of an
upper and lower chain Of the darkened
silver. The buckles, whose frames are
wrought In heavy silver IN quaint sun
flower pattern, are set with large, dark
amethysts with smaller ones at the side.
These gfriles, Of course, must be worn
with one-piece dresses; they are utterly
impossible where any waist line must be
hidden. AS in this case, however, they
may be worn over a sewed-on belt of the
dress material, but one must be very
careful Of the effect
Another chain belt is lighter both in
appearance and form. 1t is of French
gilt, set with lapis lazuh in square blocks.
The lighter shades of lapis are very at
tractive in their streaked blues, and the
chain of squares, with the diamond in
front, strung, so 20 speak,. on the gilt,
and each surrounded by its frame of gilt,
is dainty in appearance.
A modish belt in black and white is of
Jet appliqued on kid. The white kid is
bordered with the same material in black
or with black patent leather, and the jet
circles and radiating lines are then ap-
piled. The effect is very striking, and the
belt gives quite an air to the simplest
white shirt waist and black skirt.
The elastic belt comes in several colors,
though il is really prettiest in white.
The smaller pattern of one of these Is
worked out in steel beads of the smallest
size, with larger circles by the side pieces
of coral or lapis. The large buckles in
front are mounted on elastic rings.
These girdles viii be especially appro-
pirate for summer wear. being cool in
looks and in reality. They are inexpen-
sive without being cheap-a most impor-
tant distinction! And they lend a finish
ing touch to a plain costume that often
redeems it from cornmonplaceness. Now
is the time to buy or make them for the
spring and summer days.

A Dainty Desk Set.

For the maid who loves white enaneled
furniture and dimity curtains and Dres-
den china toilet articles, nothing could
be more charming than a cretonne-
covered writing set for the boudotr desk
1t is especially appropriate in a simple
rosebud design for a young girl.
First there is the big blotter, the foun-
dation cut out of heavy cardboard after
a leather model, and the cretonne care
fully pasted on, with tiny stitches to
round the corners properly. A narrow
gimp edging may be used If desired, but
If you can do the work neatly enough it
is really prettier without

after them come the little boxes for pen

Of the danger of staining them, and the

IL you wish your set to be complete you
can get these in Dresden china, with q
little clock to match, in a design closely

And. by the way, give a piece of the
plain fabric with your present, or get 1t
extra, If you are making the set for
yourself. For accidents will happen, and
first aid is a useful thing to have at

THE SMALLEST CREATURE.

What the Journal may say about

creation, must be troubled with some
other part Of creation, and if God had
not created Bloom and set him in our
midst to make trouble with his fellow

thing worse, although we can't con-
ceive of anything which would cause
more hatred between man and man in

THE MANUFACTURERS AND FARM
TNH yf

Why is the manufacturer interested
IN farming and better farming? The
products of the farm are the measure
Vt the manufacturer business. The
manufacturer Of farm implements is
simply the farm hand, of the time when
all work was done on the farm, trans
ferred to town. The shoe manufacture
er is the travelling shoemaker located
in some city. The textile manufactur-
er is the farm hired girl transferred to
town. The clothing manufacturer is
the travelling tailor transferred to
town. Thus relieving the farm home
Of these industries as well as the feed
ing and caring for these workers in the
farm home.
The manufacturer Of railroad supplies
and the railroad men transport the
products that the farmers and the man.
ufacturers exchange.
From this it is easy to see that the
products of the farm are the measure of
the manufacturer g business now, just
as truly as was and is the demand for
farm hands measured by the extent of
the crops.

training for the boys. Few men Of
today know how the laws are made and
must profess ignorance when some i'm.
portant legislation is discussed. If
there is anything that will make
brighter and better men, the one re.
Gently adopted among the boys Of
Devils Lake can be considered first

favor over the state and Legislators
will lend every assistance to help the
