Of these ideal gowns, worn with a

There has never been anything

Occidental records of attire.
For many years we have been appre-
ciative of the beauties cf Oriental
ia abrics, as adapted to cozy corners and
negligee garments, but today these
exquisite creations are receiving en-
thusiastic recognition in their use in
the construction of dainty gowns, and
happy is she who has bit of Oriental
embroidery or a scarf that she can
fashion into fascinating stock or
charming bodice.
And the popularity Of the Oriental
atmosphere has permeated the per-

miladys every movement recalled to
us the scent of some familiar flower,
we are now waited back, in the quaint
odor of Vantine's sandalwood, to cur

IN LIGHTER VEIN

When in the course of human events,
it becomes possible for Pine Bluff to
get all the contracts filled for paved
streets. a new Iron Mountain depot
built, new pest office building
erected anu the city government re-
organized, them it will be that those
who call themselves citizens of this
hustling little city will take to wear
ing broad smiles and possibly wearing
full dress to the theater. OF course,
they will wear more than bread
smiles when walking along the city
streets, and will cover up the full
dress with overcoats in cold weather.
But one thing sure we will not look
upon Little Rock as a rival and the
Cotton Belt will not be hurt because
they have pulled out Of Memphis for
the last time The city is growing
and the ciLlzens should grow with the
city. 1t is time that old prejudices
about somebody's property being en-
hanced because the new buildings are
located cn certain spots, were laid
aside and that all should pull together
to make Pine Bluff grow. Memphis
has organized a 1000 club and Lit
tie Rock has followed with a 100000
club. This city need net be counted
third in the race simply because
movement is organized to make Pine
Bluff a city of $4,000. We need the
people. lnere are many things that
will have to happen before the $4,000
can be ob aimed, but with little
pulling together, it can be accom-
plished.
