FOR TIMES WOMEN WHO WANT TO KNOW
What Is Seen In The Shops
BY THE SHOPPER.

They are just the size of an ordinary
car ticket and are fastened on the end
of chain or carried on a vanity ring.
A jewelry shop on +, near the cor
ner of Thirteenth street. is selling these
cases at summer prices. In gold filled,
the cases are 81 and 50. and are the
same in sterling silver. These cases
are very convenient for summer, as
there is usually no place or pocket on
the one-piece dresses which are worn
to carry car fare, and one does not al
ways care to carry purse.
A great deal of jewelry, in the way
of bracelets. earrings. and large finger
rings, Is in vogue now and promises TO
De used during the coming season.
Bracelets Of white metal, other than
silver, are very popular and several of
them are worn on the arm at the same
time. They are very narrow, and while
some OF them are thin and plain, others
are thicker and set with differently
colored stones. The ones which l saw
at the jeweiry store on F, near Thir-
teenth, are made of aluminium and sci

duction of the firm, This metal neve,

CHAPTER XIV.
The Woman,s Heart.

That upper earth on which they
lived was covered with a thick blank
ct of snow. The lakes and pools were
frozen from shore to shore. The
mountain brooks, il they flowed at all,
ran under thick arches Of ice. The
deepest canons were well nigh impas-
sible from huge drifts that sometimes
almost rose level with the tops Of the
walls. In every sheltered spot great
banks Of white were massed. The
spreading branches Of the tall pine
trees in the valleys dropped under
heavy burdens Of snow. Only here
and there sharp gaunt peaks were
swept clean by the fierce winter
winds and thrust themselves upward
in icy air, naked and bare. The cold
was polar in its bitter intensity.

must be given at night, and no copies
of the score could be bought. It was
decided that the score must be dis
patched by telegraph. So, the story
runs, a wire was kept working forI
seven hours, while a man In New York

ANNOUNCE RESULTS
 IN CORN SEED TEST

Marion, october 29.--(Special.) )-The re- suits from various corn seed tests made on George w. Thomas experiment farm two miles south of Marion have been given out for publication. Seed was fur nshed by eleven leading farmers, two kinds from the Auburn farm and a negro on the plantation of MT Thomas.
 The largest per cent of bearing stalks was grown from the seed furnished by the negro Colman Lockett. One hundred and sixty-six stalks were grown and less than per cent were barren; 7S per cent of the fruting stalks had one ear and 2J per cent had two ears to the stalk. In some instances three ears were grown, this being shown in the seed furnished by w M Eiland. whose seed produced the second highest average
 The seed corn used was taken from the best found in the county and grown in comparison with that furnished by the experiment station at Auburn
 Similar reports on cotton Are being made at the same farm and the result will be given in November.
 A Sunday school workers institute will be held in Marion from November 10 to 13, at which D. H. Marbury and Mrs. $. F. Moore of Birmingham and Leon c. Palmer and Miss Myra Batchelder of Montgomery will be the principal speak CTS. The sessions will be held at the diff ferent churches, and under the local di- rection of II. O. Murfee.
