The Smart Spring Shoe.

In spring footwear there are many
pretty models from which to choose.
Pumps in every style ana color, but
on broad, comfortable last, win
again be the mode. and the summer
promises still more models with q
great license as to color.
Natural tan and also black calf
boots. buttoned or laced, continue to
be the chosen kind for tramping and
morning use, while slippers for even.
ing wear seem more beautiful and
elaborate than ever before. For
adornment buckles are in vogue, and
these range from dainty metal ones
to exquisite and costly jeweled ones.
For the evening woman can have
as many pairs OF slippers as she has
gowns, all to match in color and ma.
terial.
They may be embroidered, beaded
or even hand painted, no limit being
on either their elaborateness or price
Where only one pair at . time may
be possessed. black satin is always
correct and exceedingly dainty.

WOMAN AND FASHION
The Taffeta Frock.

If you have taffeta jumper frock,
either black or colored, that has been
last aside as hopelessly out Of date,
make use of it as soon as you can.
There is no use of laying taffeta away,
as it cuts on every fold.
Naturally both the style and the ma
terial of this frock is out Of style, but
1t can be combined with another mate
rial into a stylish and useful frock.
In this season 1t is possible to pick
up voiles, supple cashmeres or other
soft wool materials for little money.
Get something to match closely the
color of the silk.
Cut the skirt Of the jumper frock
into a deep yoke on the sides and long
front panel This should be corded or
finished with soutache braid, and un-
derneath should be put an accordion
or side plated skirt of wolfe or other
wooden fabric. The rest Of the skirt
can be cut into narrow bands, which
should be applied to the skirt before 1t
IS plated.
Fill in the yoke part with the wolfe
heavily embroidered with large design
in soutache braid and black embroid-
cry silk. Bring folds of the voile over
the shoulders front and back in fchu
effect, ending them above the waist
line with a shield shaped piece OF
braided taffeta.
Cut the jumper sleeves into small,
close fitting caps split up the middle
and strapped across with bands Of the
silk. Underneath put sleeves Of the
voile, slightly pulled at elbow and
crossed with stitched bands Of the silk.
Stitched bands Of the taffeta can out
line the top of wolfe collar.

THE FAIR GRouI~es PROPOSE
1.IOM

It may be announced with some assur-
ance of certainty that the Fair grounds
propositions viii be approved at today:
election, both in number and in amount
by a handsome majority.
Such result should be anticipated, as
being responsive to the dictates of pro-
gressive development If the PROPOSE
tons were defeated. 1t would not be pos
sible to estimate the discredit, nor the
disadvantages Shreveport would suffer
materially.
Fortunately for the community, the
men who stand in the shadows and are
ever apprehensive of the effects of the
CLEAN of betterment, are in the minor
ity. Such men are not developers nor
builders. but in spite of their endeavors
at obstruction are carried on and are
made to contribute their pro rata for
Improvements through the medium of
taxation, which. while limited, is TO them
a continuous nightmare.
Having scored success in this public
enterprise, as in the recent issue for
bonds for internal Improvements,
Shreveport will be advanced to the fore
front of communities which are pro-
gressive. and in time even those who
hsve-iaoT vsssw'ed-with favor the PROPOSE
tons submitted win be all praiseful of
fhe olorio.1s result
The success Of the propositions apply
ing to the Fair grounds means that
Shreveport viii have next fall Fair
that viii almost equal that of Dallas, at
least it will be the biggest Fair ever wit
messed in Louisiana. II viii stimulate
the spirit of progress, and it will be the
means Of securing from the State Legis-
lature an appropriation of at least ten
thousand dollars for prizes and awards
IN the encouragement and the fostering
Of agricultural products in all branches.
In brief, It is not now possible to esti-
mate the good results that will follow
the endorsement Of the Fair grounds
propositions, as viii be recorded this
evening at the closing of the polls at
S o'clock
The progressive taxpayer who has not
yet voted should be dutiful at once and
before the close Of the polls.

GAMBLING AND GAMBLING.

The Farmers Alliance has a strong
force Of able representatives in Wash
ington lobbying in favor of the bill to
suppress dealing in futures It is not
political or partisan question, and
therefore may be fought out on its mer-
its. There is no more reason why men
should Be permitted to gamble and spec
uIate ii agricultural products than any
other commodities of vaile.--Guardian-
Journal
It may Be discreditable to gamble with
dice or cards or to engage in swindling
schemes but there is some difference
between gambling in cotton and other
products Of agriculture and gambling
illi siass0f rafdss the difference may
BE III the scheme. While a gentleman
would not publicly engage in a crap
game for the reason that it is contrary
to good morals and It IS generally de-
nounced as being disreputable. the same
man would have no hesitation in gam
bling IN futures, through which many
are led to rain.
Seriously, gambling in futures should
be suppressed BY law as was the Louis
lana State Lottery, through whose bane-
full influence good men were debauched
and corrupted. and i countless number
were inyeiglsd to ruin. Gambling in any
form or guise should Be made odious,
the more so when gambling is based on
the products Of the soil.
