GOODWIN N-WALLACE
 CONTEST PASSED
Up to Committee of the Whole by Committee
 at Little Rock.

Little Rock, June 1.-Shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon the Democratic State Central Com mittee met in the banquet room at the Hotel Marion, with Chair man John F. Rutherford presid- ing. The roll call found a majori- ty of the members present, and the committee immediately got down to business.
 The first matter taken up was the Wallace-GoodWin contest in the Seventh congressional dis trict. The subcommittee ap- pointed to look into the merits of this contest went over the grounds in the case, and then submitted the matter to the en- tire committee without any re- port whatever. The committee called attention to the appeal of Goodwin and the refusal of Wal lace to sign an agreement to stand by the decision of the sub committee, even after Goodwin had done so. The committee al- SO called attention to the point raised by Goodwin that the ballots have never been canvassed or seen by anyone but the chairman of the district convention, and were not in the legal possession of any member of the committee after Apr 20. Goodwin also claimed that the certificate of nominationWas issued to Wallace before half the returns were in, and this was admitted by the chairman. The committee stated Wallace claimed the nomination under the certificate, and Good win objected to this saying it would not be fair to allow him the election when the other candi- date could not protest. Taking all these things into considera- tion, and the refusal of Wallace to abide by the decision of the subcommittee thought it best to leave the matter to a committee of the whole.
 Later The State Central Com mittee referred the whole mat ter to the State Convention.

JAMES X. JONES
 DIES SUDDENLY
Only d Few Hours Illness. Arkansas Most Promi-
 nent Statesman.

Washington, June 1. Former Uuited States Senator James k. Jones died at 5:30 this afternoon at his home on Nineteenth street. Apparently in good health last night, he retired with no out ward sign of approaching death. Indisposed this morning, he pre- ferred to remain in bed for the day; as the day wore away, Sen ator Jones was more indisposed, although death was not consid- cred imminent. It is believed the sudden summons came coin cidentIy with an attact of heart trouble, though at a late hour tonight James K. Jones, Jf., said that it had not been accur- ately determined precisely what was the cause of his death.

Wedding Invitations.

1t is not now considered necessary to
repeat the entire wording of an invita-
ton to a wedding breakfast or reception.
This is a custom that has grown up and
become acceptable because of the large
demand on the time of society people.
For instance when answering such an
invitation the proper form now accepted
is as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. John Henry accept with
pleasure the kind invitation of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilbur Morehead for Thursday aft
ernoon, November the nineteenth, at half
after o'clock"
Purists In etiquette have considered it
polite to repeat the name of the bride and
bridegroom-elect with. all other words
used in the invitation. Books on etiquette
also maintain this to be the correct thing.
But it is not done in fashionable cir
cles. The former formula is almost en-
tirely used and after all usage is the
rule and law of etiquette.

Street skirts are either very long

There is no medium.
Sleeves are tighter and longer than

of the arms.
In the French capital, plaids are be-
ing worn to a great extent and are
very beautiful in design.
Among the smartest novelties is a

The Square-Toed Slipper.

A few smart women have introduced
the extra high-heeled square-toed slipper
in Louis XIV~style for dress wear. This
needs an extra slender foot to show it off
at it's best.
The new ones are of patent leather of
the soft, pliable kind. The toes are
squared off, the heels are two or three
inches high, there are wide, square Louis
XIV buckles across the front, with
square tongues above. Everything is
squared
These are worn for all indoor occa sions
where satin dancing slipper is not ap-
propriate. AS it is utterly out of style
to wear boots or half shoes with a long
skirt there is an immense sale of slippers
in all varieties.
Well dressed women do not think Of
wearing anything but an ornate slipper
to a wedding or a luncheon or a card
party and of course to the theatre.

The Care of the Piano.

The piano, to give out the best tones,
should never stand against the wall.
An upright piano is hest arranged
across a corner. If 1t is to be kept in
tune, it should also be placed SO as to
avoid draughts, dampness and even the
direct rays of the SUM- Then did you
know that moths are apt to get inside
of the felt if frequent examination is
not made and so ruin the instrument?
The busting and polishing of the
piano, whether it be a new and valuable
baby grand or the more unpretentious
upright, should never be left to the
maid, but should be attended to by the
housewife herself.
1t should be done with soft cheese
cloth, or linen cloth, or better stil1 with
an old silk handkerchief. There should
be neither seam or hem in the dust
cloth as any inequality or hardness is
apt to scratch the piano polish
The carved legs should be busted
with lambs wool brush as should
also the rack and other ornamental
trimmings.
To restore the whfteness to the keys,
wash lightly and most carefully $50
that no moisture will get into the in
strument between the keys) with a
teaspoonful of hydro superoxide dis
solved in a pint of water.
Cloudy spots on the case are best
treated by pouring a few drops of
benzine on the dust cloth and then
rubbing lightly and in the same direc-
ton until they disappear.
If the purplish mist on the surface
defies all ordinary rubbing, try the
following method employed by furni-
~ture polishers:
Wiring a sponge out of lukewarm wa
ter with soapsuds and wash a space
about a foot square and then wipe it
instantly with moistened chamois skin
and polish dry with flannel Repeat
this until the whole piano is frightened

Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Seals dinner last
evening in compliment to Mr.. FELTON,
Wimberly and Miss Mary Glespy was
a beautiful event. The guests included
only the members of the bridal party.
The table was exquisitely decorated in
green and white, suggesting the color
of white roses and valley lilies. Green
gauze ribbons attached to the candel-
bra reached to the chandelier and bows
of the same dainty material decorated
the grape fruit glasses. Place cards
marked each cover, and were hand
painted white wreaths tied with ribbons,
green and white. At each place was a
favor suggestive of the bridal event.
Seated about the dinner table were Mr..
and Mrs. Seals, Miss Gillespy, Mr.. VIM
berly, Miss Sadie Gillespy, Miss Mary
Ware Miss Ruth McLester, Miss Dom
aid Seals, Mr.. N. L. Steele, Mr.. Charles
Thomas, Mr.. Theodore Koenig, Mr.. Rob-
ert Gregory.
Mrs. Seals was charming hostess in
gown made of green messaline in the
directoire style. Miss aGillespy's gown
was a blue satin garnished with silver
sequins in which she looked lovely Miss
Sadie Gillespy was in white chiffon over
silk. Miss Donald Seals wore a beeom-
ing white and green frock.

French Women as Politicians.

1t is true that French women as a
Z rule do not play conspicuous part in
French politics, but 1t should be said
at once that in their homes and in a
useful manner women in France play
q very important political role
They have even taken an active part
when it was necessary, as history
points out but in a general way they
prefer to let their light shine under
bushel rather than on a pinnacle polit-
ically speaking.
There are salons politique in Paris
where the women who hold them show
themselves extremely clever and brill
liant. They conduct perhaps more than

An all-over blouse of heavy Irish lace
made over white chiffon is the rival for

dyed to match skirt
The white blouse is not as good looking
as the other in this day of harmony from
chin to toe but it is widely fashionable.
Tho lace used is of the extra heavy vari-

The tight sleeves and high stock are of

There is quite fashion now for using
