Those who began to say before
Easter that there would be a radical
change in. the fashionable silhouette
for the spring season have been greatly
disappointed. But the false prophets
may borrow some of the gladness of
the optimist and point out that, al
though the general cut and line have
remained the same, there are plenty of
new fashion ideas in the way of orna-
mentation and details.
There is considerable liberty as to
the position of the waist line to the
great satisfaction of the individual and
to the confusion of the critics who
would insist upon a geometrical line
for woman in her spring gown. The
position of the waist line may vary,
tits true, but fullness. never-except in

The concert given Friday evening at
the Dominican college in San Rafael
was attended by a society contingent
from this side of the bay. The program
was contributed by Mrs. Benjamin G.

San Rafael has also the inestimab1e
advantage of the musical culture pos
sessed by Rev. Robert Sesnon and
others who are well known In the
musical world. Among the recent musi--
cal ana society events of note was
concert given by Father Sesnon and
Henri Etlin, the talented young pianist
from the Paris Conservatoire. Any
musical affair of merit in San Rafael
receives the encouragement of dis

ietS have been chosen by women who
keep up with the fad of the moment,
Directoire hats have their own pOpu-
larity, of course, and as a general rule
the crowns are high. In these hats a
great change is shown in the straw.
Where formerly it has been fine as
in the leghorn and chip hats, now 1t is
in wide. coarse braid, which makes a
hat of seemingly great weight. Never
'theless, these new creations have GER

other novelty is wide meshed tulle

at Easter were pink straw covered with

straw of different shade from that

hem of colored chiffon. The parasol is
made over IS ribs. and a large ring is
slipped over it to hold it together when

The society woman with a talent for
detail chooses her jabot with great care,
for many are the hidden possibilities
of the dainty frill at the throat. 1t Is
simple fact and one carefully consid-
cred by the clever woman that, whether
it be for broad Elton collar or the stiff
masculine rundown affair that has
been worn for SO many years, the
jabot must suit the figure. The shape
of the bit of lingerie that does duty
as tie will make a grea< difference in
a woman's, silhouette. If she is in
clined to avoirdupois she must choose
a rabat or jabot that extends almost
to her belt. This conspicuous straight
white in the middle OF the front does
much to add length to the waist. The

A charming Easter party was given
recently at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
r. F. Guiehard for their children Marie
and Robert Guichard. The feature of
the afternoon was an egg hunt In the
garden, after each little guest had
been provided with a nest to receive
the treasure. A feast in the dining
room preceded the hunt and the table
was effectively decorated with coIored
ribbons radiating from a nest in the
center Of the table. The nest was
surrounded with attractive Easter eggs
and the favors were red, yellow and
pink roses and in the center OF each
rose a tiny chicken repOsed. Among
the guests were;

NICHOLS HANGED AT MARION.
The Man Who Slew 15-Year-Old Lad 's
 Dropped to His Death.


 Marion.-For the third time within thirty days the gallows at the court house in Marion quivered with the falling body of condemned man. and from it's arm hung the corpse Of a man who had paid the penalay for hls crime.
 The body was that of P. G. Nichols, convicted of the murder of 15-year-olo Ed Smith near Island 30 in Crlttendeil county. The execution was the result of the jury's verdict of murder ana could not be stayed even by the deter mined efforts of the friends of the doomed man and a petition for com mutation of the sentence that held page after page of names signed to the request.
 Nichols made a persuasive address to those who witnessed his execution He did not refer to the killing oi young Smith, but confined himself tc thanking those who had taken care o1 him while he was a prisoner. He paid thanks to county officers for treat ment in jail After delivering his ad dress he offered a prayer that all who were with him might lead better lives and be saved He sang song which he had composed while in jail This he declared was all that he wished be fore being dropped into eternity.

The tribute paid to the courageous Wireless operator on the Republic who forgot his own human needs in heroic duty at his post, and well-nigh dropped from exhaustion at it, was a well deserved one. Americans have been called a nation of hero worship CTS; rather should it be said that one of the national traits is generous eagerness to recognize and applaud the best and noblest in human nature. The whole nation is strengthened by such examples.

Survey Completed of Extension of A.
 C. Railroad From Paris to Scranton.
 Clarksville-The locating survey Of an extension of the Arkansas Central railroad from Paris to the new town of Scranton in Logan county has been completed. AS soon as the maps and profiles can be made a large force will be put to work cutting out the right of way, and it is said that con- struction work will follow immedi' etely.
 This road will afford transportation facilities for what is believed to be the largest and most extensive an thracite coal field west of the Missis sippi river. The field is opposite the Spadra field, being located on the south side of the Arkansas river and is accessible to river transportation if the proposed barge line should be established. Those in charge of the construction of the road confidently assert that trains will be running into the heart of the field by the latter part of August or first of September
 About one-half of the proposed ex tension has been completed and trains will be run over this part of the road by the first of May.
