ENTHUSIASM FOR IMPROVEMENT.

An Interesting Meeting at City Hall-Or-
ganizes for Village Improvement.
At the meeting last Saturday after
noon, called by some of the public
spirited and enterprising ladies of the
city to discuss the matter of village
improvement and to organize society
to take the matter in charge, there was
a fair. sized attendance and lots of en-
thusiasm.
Mrs. w. w. Stewart called the gather
ing to order and in a few we'll chosen
words explained the purpose of the
meeting. She then called upon Mayor
Stewart for three minute talk.
He said in part that he was glad to
see SO many boys and girls present but
was sorry that the wrong boys we're
there. He said he would like to get a
chance to talk to some of those bad
boys who threw rocks at the windows
of vacant buildings and thus not only
destroy property of others, but detract
from the beauty of the town. OF course,
he said, none of the boys present would
do anything of this kind. Nothing
beauties a town more than the setting
out of shade trees and then protect
them by enforcing the ordinance
against stock running at large.
Mrs. A. B. Connor followed Mayor
Stewart, saying she was in for organiz-
ing and going to work aside from
picking up tin cans, etc. She wants
more seats on hill sides, more foot
bridges, better foot paths up the side
hills, cemetery road improved, etc
Her talk was very practical and she
hewed to the line from start to finish
DIR. Hargeus, in spirited little talk,
said in part: There are three kinds of
people in Hot Springs-one kind who
build up; another kind who tear down,
and kind who don't care. 1t is for us
to decide which class we are i'm. The
mayor can't do anything; the children
can't do it all; individuals can't do
much; but ii we all pull together we
can create public sentiment and that
will do all if it is the right kind of pub
lie sentiment. We want place to put
our cats, dogs, tin cans. old papers, etc.

The modistes viii tell you that there
are no hoop skirts worn. But If you
look at some OF the new gowns you
viii be inclined 10 doubt their word.
These gowns are built to set out in bal
loon fashion and they certainly invite
the use Of hoop skirt
On the hoopskirt question one might
quote from the private letter Of a Paris
dressmaker TO patron. Writing in
French, this well-known authority
says: Il send your gown, madame.
and the hoop skirt that goes with 1t. If
madame does not want TO wear the
hoopskirt there is a stiff white taffeta
petticoat, all ruffles, and another one.
Both are rufied and trimmed with
lace and will act in place Of the hoop
skirt"
Making the Skirts Flare.
It may be that we are coming to
hoops. The tendency is that way. over
In Paris. where styles have the courage
OF their convictions. the mention of
hoops is frequently heard, while, as for
bustles, they certainly lie a foot deep
upon the counters, ready for sale.
The hustle agitation is one that will
never quite die down. AS long as there
are figures that are fat just so long
viii bustIes be brought forth TO grace
the backs Of the dresses. And with the
new round skirts they are certainly be-
coming unless one is too fat to wear
them
The dance gown OF the season is The
gown simplex. And the more simplex
the better. 1t is very wise girl who
goes forth and buys. enough net or
bobbinette for a gown. She viii need
eight yards. She can get IT in any
color, but the prettiest is the silver
white or the glossy black. She will
make up this gown with rope shirrings

is IN green and white and a great
glossy green taffeta sash is tied around
the waist. All is cool in the green and
white tones with a great string Of gold
beads around the neck for relief.
And, speaking Of gold beads. one may
digress long enough to say that beads
are worn in the daytime as we'll as in
the evening and there are great strings
of gems Of all kinds. Strings of gold
beads that fell almost to the floor were
wound around the throat of a guest at
the Queens garden party the other day.
And it was Mrs. Arthur Pagetlwho in
augurated the custom of wearing
strings Of pears in the daytime and
great ropes Of turquoise beads.
The buying Of strings of beads is
considered good investment these
days and women who wish to enlfven
their costumes are investing in strings
of silver, crystal and dull thick pink
ish enamel.
A girl who is always exceedingly well
dressed is now at work upon her trous-
seau. She is buying material for the
little Dutch dresses which are so much
the style. It takes eight yards In the
wide materials and from sixteen to
twenty In the narrower stuffs.
The Dutch dresses are nearly all of
Of instep length and are all made round
with the fullness evenly distributed.

or are so arranged that the hips are
extremely full with the fullness laid

expensive net, for 1t is partly cotton
and partly silk. The bride has. with
her own hands. run silver threads

ing upon it all the spring.
A Wedding Gown Design.
The wedding gown is the simplest Of
the simple. The skirt is shirred on
the hips, a style which is very effective
even If not new. Around the foot there
is a ruffle Of net bordered with lace
But the prettiest feature is the petit
coat worn underneath. This petticoat is
made of white lawn. And it is trimmed
with lace insertion through which a

And there are fchus that knot upon
the breast and hang down far below
the waist line. But these low hanging
hchus somehow have the suggestion Ot
a negiiGee, and one cannot get rid Ci
the idea that they are more .apprOpri-
ate upon the dinner gown than upon
the breakfast dress.

To Wear on the Neck.
Fichu pins are much seen. They
are handsome little jeweled ornaments
for fastening the fichu to the sash or
to the bodice. They are not stick pins.
but are substantial pins, very much set
with cOlored stones or made OF plain
pearl, in whose depths many cOlors
shine.
The fancy for throwing something
or other around the neck Is a growing
one. Furs have already appeared,
and women who own handsome sable
evening gowns. even though II be sum-
mer time. The custom Of wearing furs
all the year around has always been
the vogue abroad. But It has not al
ways been the style here. But now
the nice furs are brought out and
women who own a $1,000 collar ara
not inclined to put 1t away out OF sight
half the year.
A rich New York woman owns what
she calls a Persian lamb necklace. It
Is on the boa order. wide and fat, and
she throws II around her neck and
shoulders over her dinner gown. It
gives the necessary note OF black.
and, being soft and velvety, 1t seems
to be a part Of the dinner costume, no
matter what its color may be.
The wide, fiat feather collars are
worn, and they are trimmed very often
with dangling things, and quite as
often with bands Of silk, and even with
embroidery.
Not a few Of the handsoms dinner
dresses show a decided inclination to
follow the fad for putting on a kind
Of trimming on top OF the other. There
are two kinds OF lace, one appiqued
over the other. And there are hand
some, dreSsy materials, heavily en-
brOidered, and over the embroidery
there Is a trimming OF raised flowers.
Brafdtng is coming in and some very
good effects are obtained by bratdtng
silks. Braided taffetas are pretty. as
are braided materials Of all sorts.
There is sort OF furor for braiding

in many scrolls and in conventional
tied forms.

they are as much in evidence as ever.

Beautiful GirdIes and Clasp.
OF course, the beauty OF the girdle
depends a great deal upon its buckle
or clasp and that is one reason why the
article is so expensive. One can buy
the material for handsome fitted gir-
die for a dollar or so. ut to purchase
a buckle sets the purchaser back $40 or
more. There are buckles that are
beautiful enough for the handsomest
Jewel case and the woman who owns
these exquisite affairs is as careful or
them as of her diamonds.
It is not alone with the street gown
that the handsome girdle is worn. but
with the evening and party dress. In
deed, many OF the nicer dinner gowns
quite depend for their glory upon the
little things of dress-the belt, the
sash, the girdle and the other waist

these are the neck trimmings, which
are numerous and certainly varied

extravagant, for the simple appearance
is simple in name only. Really the cost

Gowns Are Like Flowers.
The flower gowns are so numerous
this year that one dressmaking estab
lishment has adopted the eXpedient of
naming each gown before it goes out
and the gowns are billed in that man

trimmings added receives its flower
