New York, Aug. 2O.--In spite OF
clinging draperles, dlaphanous folds,
and the long close lines of the new
fashions, the girl Of sports INDUCES
IN none Of these while enjoying the
athletic pastlmes. A complete meta
morphosls takes place between she
OF the outdoor life and she of the
indoor butterfly existence.
Serges, cheylots and homespuns are
the old standbys for the more practi-
cal costumes, and later in the season
. the heavier suitings in shepherds
plaids or checks or even stripes will
be in favor. For those who dislike
heavy weight cloths, there are the
imitation cotton goods, which resent
Bile the wool variety to an amazing
degree. Again the mohairs and pam
amas are chosen and even the heav-
Ter linens but Of all goods the serges
are found to be the most serviceable
and keep in better style. For little
jaunts, such as yachting, steamboat
rides, trolley excursions, or where
there is little wear and tear and the
day is fair, such materials as voiles.
pongees, rajahs, linen, etc. are offer
ed for ones consideration. while for
golf, mountain climbing and tramp
ing cheviot is a good choice.
For those who can stand II the
Norfolk suit is much liked for a
style Of cut and for walking or drlv-
ing looks we'll; for the boating or sea-
side sports in general nothing seems
so appropriate as the sailor costume;
and for all occasions the shirt waist
suit having an extra jacket is ham
dy accessory to ones wardrobe. A
shooting costume" composed of a
plain gored skirt Of circular cut and
a loose straight jacket is also liked
by many women and when made Of
homespun. leather trimmed, it is suit
able for any weather.
As serge is the first choice a word
may be said OF their new character
istlcs. Instead OF the very heavy
wiry goods of some years past the
makers have now given US a fabric
that is soft and pliable, and not so
heavy a pull on the hips and shoul-
ders. Many Of them have invisible
herrlngbone stripes. Others with a
very lustrous surface.
For golf white serge either self
or with some touch of color
In the tie, or collar and cuffs and
belt is favorite or it may have
bands piped in color.
For games where great use Of arms
IS required, looseness of tit must be
sought for; and the full plated skirt
that hangs straight keeps its fit and
flare is short enough for swift action
but not obtrusive, and is best liked !
with full blouse bodice having sail !
DR. or Dutch collar and seven-elghths
sleeve.
Some slight difference must be {
kept In mind for the different games {

The tennis skirt must not

be longer and circular in cut For
both games linen is much favored :

DECISION IN THE
 BELL CASE

probate court of Jefferson county, Ar kansas, on petition of Appellee Bell and Mrs. Willis, made an order for the adoption of the child by Bell. The present proceeding was then begun by appellant. The case was tried be- fore one of the circuit judges of Put laski county, and he rendered iudg- ment awarding the custody of the child to Appellee Bell. subject to the right of appellant to see the child at all reasonable times, and required the appellee to give bond to keep the child within the jurisdiction of the court
 This court finds from the evidence that either one of the parents is fit person to have the custody of the child and capable of giving it the pro per attention and education. But in view of the tender age of the child, and considering it's best interests. the court finds thav the custody at present should remain lin the mother
 If this case was a controversy di- rectly between the two parents. there would be little difficulty in deternin ing it here. The difficulties of the case arise out of the fact that the suit is brought against Bell, who proposes to be the adopted parent. The proof shows, however, that Mrs. Willis con scented to the order of adoption upon the promise of her brother to give her a permanent home with the child. It is, therefore, a controversy indirectly between the two parents. To take the child now from Bell would be to take it from it's mother, which the court is unwilling to do. The order is only temporary, and when conditions change in the future there is nothing to prevent the institution of further proceedings.
 This court further holds that the adoption proceedings in the probate court were absolutely void. on account of the fact that the father did not consent thereto The statute expressly provides that before probate court can enter an order of adoption the consent of the parents must be ob- tained if their places of residence are known. It is therefore not sufficient merely for the mother to consent, even though the divorce had ben granted and the custody of the child awarded to the mother. The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.

The State Supreme Court has jus: handed down it's decision in the fam ous Bell case with which several prominent Pine Bluffians were con nected.
 Willis Ns. Bell.
 x. P. Willis sued out a writ of ha> beas corpus to regain the custody ol his infant child, girl about five years of age. The defendant, H. B. Bell, was a brother of the child's mother. Willis and his wife married in Indianapolis, Ind, in the year 1900, and the child was born about three years later. They lived together with some inter- ruptions until the child was a year and a half old, when Mrs. Willis left and took the child with her, carrying it to Hayti, Mo.
 The appellant went after the child and the mother followed, there insti- tuting proceedings to regain the pos session of the child from appellant.

company could he boasht out are questions which will be taken up by the committee today.
 Many plans for getting funds to build the line were discussed at the meeting last night. It Was suggested that $15,o00 or $t0o.000 be raised and bonds issued That a part of the road should be built at first and op- crated as a steam line until enough money was raised to finish and equip it as an interurban line, even if con struction should require two or three years, was another suggestion
 Dr. Robinson, who was Instrumental in calling the meeting last night s)l.s- gested that $75,000 or $1o0,0o0 be raised and the road built between Gal loWay and the Alexander plantation. The Rock Island railroad could be used from Galloway to Little Rock he thought. The road. it was said under this plan could be used as se- curity and money borrowed to aid it's
 completion. Then, he said, it could
 be converted into an interurban.
 James A. Gray thought the road should be built from Little Rock to Galloway or some other point and Op- posed the idea of beginning construc- tion in the middle of the proposed line. 3,n Iynn -1,o 1,n nv could get $200,000 if construction should be started from Little Rock. He also opposed using a part of the Rock Island tracks and thus giving that road a share of the earnings.
 w. H. Waugh, the engineer who was in the employ of the Little Rock and Pine Bluff Traction Company, was at the meeting and made estimates as to the cost of completing or partially the railroad. He thought it would be feasible to build from Gal loway to Alexander and use the Rock Island tracks from Little Rock to Galloway
 Ad HamDer@ suggested that some money be raised and bonds issued and the road completed in that way.
 It was the concensus of opinion of those present that the road would prove paying proposition, the only question being the way to raise the money to complete the line. Much of the right of way has already been secured, so that much of the expense and trouble preliminary to construct ing the line has been eliminated.
 Among those present at the meeting last night were: Dr. o. P. Robin son, w. w. Dickinson, Ad Hamberg. James A. Gray, R. W. Rightsell, J. NJ. Rose, w. H. Waugh, w. l.. Hem ingway, W. B. Smith and C. x. Alex ander.

lake bed Mr. Mullikin also called the attention of the retail merchants to the need of signboards On the front of the street cars to indicate their route and do away with the present annoying system of catching a car and finding out later if it were the desired one. The association further decided to re- quire each merchant to sprinkle the sidewalk in front of his business be- fore sweeping them off each morning. In this way it is hoped to do away with the unsanitary manner of side walk sweeping at present. Mayor Ton ey addressed the merchants and assur- ed them of his hearty cooperation in
 their progressive efforts and prom
 iSed his entire cooperation. Dr. Caldwell addressed the association on the advisability of amending the city's present charter so that the city could bond itself for civic Improvements,
 which is impossible under the present constitution. Much interest was shown in his remarks and a campaign for an amendment to the city's present con- stitutional charter will be put under way. The Pine Bluff Retail Merchants Association has grown rapidly and is taking more and more part in the up building of Pine Bluff under the public spirited leadership of MT Mullikin.
