Being short -circuitcd. or perhaps,
more aptk, short skirted, at the waist
line is certainly no new experience for
fabric. The past seasons have Of
fered us many examples of frocks where
the skirt material stopped at the girdle
and where the bodice was of different
color and weave. This autumn is no
dcliquent in this respect, and there are
perhaps even more combinations than
usual.
Quite a great deal of interest in such
combinations centers about the fash =
ionable brown, and one Of the most
charming of imported afternoon frocks
seen this month allied brown velvet
skirt with bodice of cocoa -colored crepe.
The latter was embroidered in gold
beaAr and the wide sleeves utilizing both
skirt and corsage materials were EN- :
broidered In Lanyn green and gold
Todays little frock makes use of this
same color combination, and the mate :
rials are identical with the one just de =
scribed. Here. however, gold beads are
lntermingled with red ones on the cocoa :
colored bodice, and belt of red suede
is embroidered in the gold beads. The
skirt OF brown velvet comes up In a
square piece above this belt.

Can You Tell?
How Edison Discovered the Phonograph
By e. j. and 4. W. Bodmey

Not all efforts of our geniuscs of in.
ventlon develop into the things which
inspired the origina! experiment. Our
phonograph Is one Of these.
Quite number of years ago when
MIR. Edison was experimenting on dia /.
phraglns OF various kinds with view
70 improving those used on telephones,
he had constructed, among other types,
Il number of small sheep skin dia :
phragms, good deal like little drum
heads, TO see how they would compared
with metal ones. To few of these he
had attached a small needle which was
intended to project toward the magnet
ana assist In carrying the sound vibra-
tlons produced by the human voice.
these sheep skin Contriyances did not
fulfill Mr.. Edison's expectations and
were considered a complete failure and
discarded. But one day several of his
employees were amusing themselves with
these discarded diaphragms by holding
them in front of their mouths and caus-
ing sounds to issue from their lips. The
result wHs a peculiar noise, which con-
tained the suggestion Of music. Mr.. Edi-
son happened to be passing the group
and in a spirit Of play attempted to
stop the noise by touching the project
ing metal point with his finger. do
that again. said NJ. Edison, and
again touched the lie became
thoughtful and went ou for some time
asking each of these employees in turn TO
hum or sing against the diaphragm so
that he could observe the vibration of
the pin. Finally he asked some of them
to talk against the thing, and he noted
the effect also by touching the pin.
FINAL y, he retired to his laboratory
and worked out how, through the vibra-
tons Of such pin or needle, sounds
of all kinds could be recorded and re-
produced. This discovery of his has
given us the phonograph.

here goes
The rtars that shine
Are the stars divine.
For those that shine not are dead,
flushed and stilled,
Their loves been killed;
Over or underfed.
And each clear night
We can see the light
OF the stars kept alive by love-
But we cannot know
If they do not glow
Even tho they are above.
And this love of mine,
Like the stars that shine,
Is vivdly brilliant and bright,
For all that Is pure
Doesn't hide. ! am sure.
But appears in a halo Of light.
