eye fastenings are provided and the
girdle is boned at the ends and sides.
1t is to be worn with the fastening at
the back, front or sides, at the pleas
ure of the wearer.
Figure is a similar girdle In
narrower and heavier ribbon. 1t is a
gay Roman striped affair to be worn
with cloth or other afternoon gowns
and with street dressed. Its buckle
is smaller and an oval form. The end
is turned under, forming a three-inch
loop. Very little ribbon is required
for this, about three-quarters of yard
for the average waist
One of the prettiest designs is pic
tured in Figure 8. 1t is a plain girdle
Of black satin ribbon having two ends
finished with plaid ribOcn. 1t is boned
at the gathered ends and fastened
with hooks and eyes. The plaid rib
bon is machine stitched to the end
with white silk thread.
The plaid sash in Figure is one OF
the smartest of the new designs. The
buckle at the waist is made of silk in
the prevailing color of Che plaid and
second smaller buckle fastens the
hanging loop and end together.
A more expensive ribbon is used for
the next model than appears in any
Of the others. In Figure 5 a silk and
velvet is shown having a dark green
ground in satin with ROSES in subdued
colors and foliage in blurred outlines
covering the surface. The girdle is
laid in loose,N irregular folds and
stayed with bones. The shorter end
overlapping the girdle is thirteen
inches long and the longer nineteen
inches. The ends are finished with

TOWN LOTS ADVANCING
UNDER HEAVY SELLING

There has been the most remarkable
movement in FL Centre town lots dur
ing The last two weeks that has ever
been experienced in any town of the
valley. scores of lots having changed
hands and new values having been ere
ated.
This is due to the fact that a num-
her of persons have at about the same
time made up their minds that the town
Is destined to be an important city, and
they have planned TO participate in the
making of the city.
One Of the most extensive buyers has
been :. Harold Freeman Of New York
City, who owns a farm near Heber. and
who has decided to invest $780, 900 in
Ell Centre property. To this end he
has bought lots to the value of S25. 900
and has left town. prepared to make
extensive improvements to the prop
he has now secured all the lots he
wishes and will henceforth devote his
energies to building on them.
These purchases were made through
Pier and Prendergast, who are left in
charge of Mr.. Freeman's property dur
ing his absence.
The lots acquired include two lots
Slate street, opposite the Masonic
Temple, bou ght of DR.. McCombs and
/ District Attorney Swing. and it is stated
that on the corner will be erected a
building duplicating the temple; the
C.. f. SprOuse property on the north
west corner of Fifth and State, IS by

| to be improved by a fine building: so
fleet adjoining the MISUNDERSTANDING
lots; the J. J. Prendergast property, 80
! by 40, on Main street, between Fourth
and Fifth. and a lot 25 by 140 on Main,
| between Sixth and Seventh streets.
! The same real estate firm reports the
sale of so feet on the south side of
State. between Fifth and Sixth, from
James A. Cook to Phil ID. Swing: and
on the north side of the street, SO
| feet from Lee C.. Siebert to James A.
| Cook.
The recent movements in real estate
| imply the continuance of the building
lactivity which has already made this
a notable season, while in the residence

greater than ever before.

would reach the ten thousand point in
