Garnishing for Lingerie Gowns.

Embroidered linen and lace medal

effective garnishing for lingerie
gowns, whether placed at intervals

The lingerie costume, of course, is
worn over silk slip, preferably of
chiffon taffeta, which, having no dress.

rustling sound that is now considered
as an Indication of vulgarity, for the
refined young woman, however ath
letic, is expected to be a soundless,
velvet-footed, soft-voiced person of re.
firing manner, although entirely self
possessed. Therefore, lingerie gowns
which look simple whatever their cost,
perfectly suit her pose.

Mr.. BRUNDIDCE WILL RETIRE
Decision of searcy Congressman to

w dSulHStCH.- TRAINED, GUiclent leg
islators are not too plentiful here in
Washington, hence members of the
House of Representative have learn
ed With regret that Stephen Brundidge
Jr. has decided to retire from public
life and return to the practice of law
at his home town, Searcy, Ark.
1t is within the truth to say that Ar
kansas friends of the representative
from the Second district may prepare
to receive him when he arrives this
time after adjournment with pride
in his achievements and satisfaction
in his record
representative Brundidge has not
been a frequent speaker on the floor.
although when he has spoken his ut
terances have been listened to by
those on both sides of the chamber
with respect and Difference to a de-
gree OF learning accredited to few
members. He has manifested pecu-
liar grasp On public questions. He
has attained the national view on
mooted questions. He has won atten.
ton whenever he has cared to claim
the floor, and in the committee rooms
Mr.. Brundidge need yield to no one
IN reputation for solid, substantial SER
vice and faithful attendance.
1t may be of interest to Arkansas
people to learn exactly why that state
is not again to enjoy the distinguish
ed service of Mr.. Brundidge. AL
though he has refrained from specific
interviews bearing on this matter, his
feelings are we'll and accurately
known to all who have come in con-
tact with him. 1t is even to be aues-
toned whether he would not regret
the public statement of his reasons
for retirement. after being a member
of the house in the 55th, Seth, 57th,
5Sth, 59th and Goth Congresses, which
at the end of the present term will
round out ~ years; and after having
distinguished himself in the prac-
tice of law at home and filled with
credit different offices in Arkansas be-
fore coming here.
Turmoil and strife in the local pri-
maries, villifieation by opposing can
didates who strive to control politics
there, the injection of elements dis
tasteful to one of Judge Brundidge's
temperament, the necessity of the per-
sistent speaker for Office of upbuild-
ing his fortunes on foundation OF
epithets and startling allegations,
these, beyond doubt, have prompted
Mr.. Brundidge to determine that with
the closing of the Goth Congress he
will eschew further quest for political
nuncts and nbundon the. arena of
statecraft for the comparatively quiet
activities of the local practitioner.
Under the circumstances, have no
regrets at retiring from public life.
l have had enough of the sort of tur-
MOL which it seems is necessary to
retention of Office in these days"

LACE COATS FOR SPRING.
Beautiful and Desirable Ornament ls
to Be Fashionable.

Cluny lace shows signs of being the
most popular of the laces for summer
suits and voile dresses, although dur
ing the season just passed it has di-
vided honors with the ever fashionable
Irish. Even the lace coats for sum-
mer use are made of this pillow lace,
and during the last three years it
has relegated renaissance lace to it's
proper use for curtains and table COW
Cluny is very pe.Atifu1 and desir-
able ornament for any costume and
because it is made of linen thread
1t is especially appropriate as dec
Grafton for linen dresses At the same
time it is not as expensive nor as
heavy as the Irish crochet.
Some of the lace coats are tinted to
deep shade of tan, while others Of
white are lined with silk in some light
shade. The popularity of cluny will
also prevent coats of embroidered filet
net from coming strongly into vogue,
for the darned net, no matter how
beautiful it may be, always has a
darned look, while lace should really
look like lace.
1t Is yet too early to tell definitely
how smart the lace coats will be
made for ordinary wear, but certain
1t Is that, if they are worn on the
street, they will not be strictly good
form.
