WEARING A TIA1EPIECE.
,Fashionable watches are very small:
the ordinary size is about an inch in
diameter They are carved with decora-
tons, either crusted with diamonds or
covered with colored enamels. If there
Is fob or a pin it is decorated to match.
There are also plain gold cases perfectly
smooth. The old Geneva patterns of
engraved concentric lines seems to have
disappeared.
There is an awakwardness in placing
watch on feminine dress. If it is pinned
on one one side Of the bodice it looks foolish
ly like a society decoration, and if it is
worn on long chain dangling from the
neck the chain is too conspicuous, be-
cause it is out of harmony with the
dress. Both these fashions are seen, the
last one the preferable. The chain in
vogue is of five links, interspersed with
pearls. Better than either of these is
the fob chain or chatelaine clasp, and it
is the only method that taste. can justify
for watch worn out in sight.
In spite of the temporary cloud upon

and perhaps it is because of the cloud
that the jewellers have piqued them
selves on making some unusually inter-
eSting designs They are fiat discs of
gold that by a process known to jewel
lers have had the surface purified of al
10y and made a dull, rich yellow. They
initiate ancient designs, Gaulish, Etrus-
can, old seals of the middle ages or
Japanese sword guards. Thus, a dragon

stuffed out with horsehair, the tenden-
cy of all sleeves being to decrease in size
Though some journals show models of
ball dress where the sleeve falls off the
shoulder and the bodice is held up by a
strap, these ridiculous designs are not
worn by women of taste, and are not
made in the best dressmaking houses.
AS seen in the models above, it is very
much the fashion to make the skirt only
of the silk and the bodice of a mingling
of ctiffons and lace. The preferred ma
terials are plain satin, lowered silk and

Very notable is the absence of flowers

employed and these are subordinated 50

the truth of this, but I hear that it is
said. 1 know only that some one has
just published a book in London on the
decline of dancing, and that some one
else has explained the sole trouble to lie
with the men, who come to the ballroom
doors unwilling to exert themselves,
which perversiIy ONE might suspect to
be q symptom, but hardly an excuse.
Men are not more indolent than they
were. I know also that Sir Augustus
Harris has lately remarked with some
contempt that the barn dance of the
temporary taste: and that in Paris the
cotillion has degenerated into a childish
romp, In which the gentlemen trot in on
papier mache hobby-horses and break a
pasteboard lance for the lady. 1t would
seem that the amateurs of poetry of mo-
ton have some reason to complain.

THE COUTURE.
When our language grows little rich
er 1t will perhaps supply itself with a
name for the hair in a condition of ord
erly arrangement. Until then there seems
no way but to serve ourselves with the
French word couture" which does not
assimilate with English at ali. The word
headdress given by the dictionaries is an
absurdity; we have no name for the
thing. French milliners say we have not
the thing. They say that the careleSSness
of American women about arranging their
hair is liable to spoil the effect of the
most successful hat. 1 merely repeat
what is said.

Poor Indeed!

There are degrees and kinds OF
poverty, just as there are diff
ferences of opinion among those
who compute and measure poverty
and riches by different standards.
Some men deem themselves poor
because they are less rich than
others, again there are compara-
lively poor people who are satisfied
with a competence. There is a
kind of poverty for which no amount
of wealth can compensate, namely,
poverty of bodrly stamina, evinced
by nervousness and arrangement
of the functions of digestion, bilious
secretion and the bowels, To restore
vigor upon a permanent basis there
is one remedy that fully covers the
requirements, "flls the BILL, and
this is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.

ARKANSAS EX-GOVERNORs.
Ten in Number What They are
Doing.

We venture the assertion that
Arkansas has a greater number of
living ex-governors than any State
in the union. Here is the list:
Rector, Clayton, Hadley, Baxter,
Garland, Hughes, Churchill, Berry,
Eagle and Fishback-ten in all, and
all, so far as we are advised, are in
the enjoyment of a reasonable
degree of health. Ex-Governor

four score years of age, takes a
keen interest in public affairs, and
devotes his time to the manage
ment of his property here and in

agement and in pushing the inter-
est of Eureka Springs. Ex-Governor
o. A. Hadley is the only ex-governor
who is a nonresident, and he isl
actively engaged as a rancher in
New Mexico. Ex-Governor Elisha
Baxter is at his old home in Bates
vile, still engaged in the practice
law with great success since leaving
the cabinet, but is a citizen of
Arkansas and votes in the state at
every election. Governor S. P.
Hughes is serving the state very
acceptably on the supreme bench,
while Ex-Governor T. ]. Churchill
divides his time between his present
home in this city and his plantation
down the river. Ex-Governor James
H. Berry is in the faithful perfor-
nance of duty for the state as our
Junior United States senator. Ex-
Governor j. P. Eagle is devoting
his time to his church work and to
his largle planting interests in
Lonoke county, and Ex-Governor
W. NJ. Fishback is managing his
property interests in Fort Smith.
Since 1860, when Rector was COVER

ex-governors have died, Flanagan,
