in front with a gilded buckle.
The skirt has its fullness around the top
laid in tiny tucks half an inch apart, these
tucks extending down some four inches
over the back and the hips and about two
inches in front. The skirt touches all

Another exquisite princess robe of another
bride is of pale yellow radum silk. the silk
having a shining and brilliant but soft lus-

is also fitted smoothly over the tight lining.
a bolero effect is given by the use of inch
wide knife blade plaitingso of the silk. These,
three in number, start from each shoulder
seam and, curving down around the front,
go under the arms, and, rising, end in the
shoulder seams at the back, meeting there
the other end or beginning of the plaitings.
The sleeves also show the plaitings. These
sleeves are quite full at the tops, being
GO thered in to the shoulder seams. At the
elbows they are gathered in, and finished at
the edges with inch-wide knife plaitings.

removable coat-shaped under sleeves that
end perhaps six inches from the hands.
These too, are finished by knife-blade plait-
ings, and there is also row of the plaitings
midway between the bottom of the sleeves

there are three similar plaitings each
sleeve at equal distances apart, the top one
being some five inches from the shoulder
seams.

Arranging for
Lectures and Concerts
BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER.

In the days when life used to be much
simpler than now we, In this republic
made much Of our winter evening lecture
courses and our winter evening concerts
AS our great cities have grown cosmo-
politan. the number Of evening entertain
ments. of every sort and variety. has been
multiplied, and people may freely choose
what they will in theatrical representation,
operatic singing scientific instruction
from the lecture platform. In the smaller
towns and villages and In suburbs limited
by hourly trains. there is less liberty of
selection. and judicious preparation before
hand is essential il the winter is not to be
barren of profit.
In the old days we had philosophers like
Ralph Waldo Emerson, statesmen like
Horace Greeley. men of letters like Oliver
Wendell Holmes or George William Curtis
and fiery orators like Wendell Phillips and
Edward Everett to fill the places in our
lecture courses, and season after season
they appeared and lifted the public taste
and enlarged popular ideas. From across
the water came Charles Dickens. w. NJ.
Thackeray and Matthew Arnold, giving
their hearers full tithes of satisfaction
and carrying back with them a lavish
harvest of American gold. The great sing
ers came, both men and women, and while
the cities heard them first in opera. most
OF them later condeScended to the palmer
concert stage In places where operas could
not be rendered.
Still the great singers come to US, and
still we have lecturers from the other side.
Only few months ago. from the White
House down, people were interested IN hs-
tening to the broken English of the author
of 1.-The Simple Life" Let man write

ever so icy. we shall go and hear them
when they come to our town.

OLD STATE BOND BOBS UP
Owners File Suit Against State Treas urer to Compel Payment on
 Bond Issued in 1888.

The Gazette says that petition for a writ of mandamus to compel State Treasurer H. C. Tipton to recognize the validity of one of the old Real Estate Bank bonds, first issued in 1888 and afterward refunded, was filed Saturday in the Pulaski Circuit Court by Brad shaw, Rhoton & Helm, represent ing k. NJ. Smythe of New York. The petitioner asks that the state treasurer be compelled to accept eight interest coupons from the bond in payment for certain lands in Phillips county, for which he has filed an application with F. l.. Conway, state land commissioner.
 The suit involves the constitu- tionality of the act of the state leg islature of 1901 canceling oatstand- bonds of the state, and it brings up the whole question of the Real Estate Band bonds, most of which, known as the Holford bonds, were repudiated by the Fishback amendment to the state constutlon. It is believed that the bond on which this suit is brought Is the only one of its class in existence.
 Attached to the petition is a copy of the bond signed by Powell Clayton. governor.
 While 1t is not believed that there are any other bonds which will be affected by the result of this suit, the case brings up some Interesting questions and 1t is eX- pected that its progress will be watched with interest, in view of former attempts that have been made to force the payment of the old bonds.
