MEETING FAILS
 TO BRIDGE GAP
 IN PAVING ROW
Commission Probably Will Stand By Settlement
 Ordinance

"No change" was the official report from the conference about parking or paving First avenue from Fifty-seventh street to Eighty-first, when represen- tatives from East Lake, the Birming- ham Electric company and the city commission adjourned Monday evening at o'clock after discussion that had lasted since 2:30 o'clock in the after noon.
 East Lake was represented by Arm strong Cory, attorney, and Nat Barber. Mir. Cory presented the argument against parking for the residents of the First avenue neighborhood in the east ern end of the city.
 Commissioner w. E. Dickson, of the department of streets, speaking for the city, after the conference, said: "The Birmingham Electric company, we were assured, stands ready to carry out the original agreement, provided it is allowed to park, as agreed, the re- mainder of First avenue from Fifty seventh street to Eighty-first street. This means the company stands by its agreement to pave First avenue along the car tracks from Forty-first street to Fifty-seventh street, matter of 16 blocks, this improvement being 8 part of the general agreement with the receivers of the utility made with the city.
 Under the settlement agreement other assurances to the city were, low CT street car fares, installation of street cars, elimination of one-man cars, save in a few instances. h Would Not Repudiate
 T do not feel that we could, as city commissioners, repudiate the remainder of the contract that provides for the parking as set out in the contract"
 The meeting was attended by the full membership of the city commission, Vice President J. s. Pevear, of the Bir- mingham Electric company, and its att torney, W. B. White, of Tillman, Bradley and Baldwin, and the commit tee as named, representing East Lake.
 Paving the car tracks strip from Forty-first street to Fifty-seventh, Mir. Pevear stated, will cost about quarter of million dollars. Parking from Fifty y-second to Eighty-fourth streets will cost about $S0,000 more.
 The ordinance, adoption of which will settle the question indefinitely, comes up for it's final consideration at the meeting of the city commission Tuesday. 1t has been advertised and other technical details attended to. Final protests, unless consideration is postponed, will be heard Tuesday, after which the vote is expected to be taken. That the ordinance will be adopted, if acted on Tuesday, is anticipated on all sides as the members of the commission thoughts, even in her maddest moments, she had that dreadful knowledge that it was for but a little while.

 For she remembered Kendrick, who had carried all her hopes, who still had her love.
 It was cruel. She> wished Ahmed had never come. She wished and wish. ed again that she had kept him at arms length. His heart was breaking, she told herself, as surely as her own.
 She was holding herself against them all, but it was killing her as surely as that things of which Do. Lapierre had told her. Her thoughts went back to Kendrick. Now, as time went by, she seemed impossible he should ever re- turn; yet still hope beat within her heart, and still she persuaded herself that he would come back to seek Elise of the Rue Jacques.
 Elise-and he would find La Pha. lene.
 Lapierre had said Elise would die within the year, God knew that La Phalene was killing Elise surely and swiftly.

 The belt. illustrated here, is shown exaggeratedly wide to emphasize the grain of the leather. The buckle shows an engraved or cut-out initial which some fancy and others don't. It is an affair of preference, rather than pro- priety. As an evidence of varying taste. some of us do not like to show the buckle at all. but turn the belt around, so that the buckle is at the side of the trousers and an unbroken expanse of leather is exposed in front. Buckles are now made so they grip unbudgingly and cannot slip. It is we'll to be mindful that a buckle is prac- tical affair and that while it may show taste, it should not parade it.
