TALKING SIGN LIGHTS UP TONIGHT

The talking sign which has been hung over Main street in front of the courthouse will be exhibited for the first t1mes tonight. The sign was pu: u,p yesterday afternoon and is the property of the Pine Bluff Corpora tion. Owing to the fact that in nov ing the heavy iron fixtures of the sign So1ns parts were unadjusted, the sign was not lighted last night, but the of- fieers of the corporation Invitss the public tD counN down and 70 the sign tnnist1r.
 The Pine Bluff Corporation deserves much credit for bringing such a sign to the city, as it is one of the onl, three in the south. The sign is a large iron affafr and will flash 40 differeat signs, and repeats itself every 4 min utes. The ads on the sign will be changed every month, which makes ,a complete new sign every thirty days. The space on the sign. has already been purchased by many of the most progressive business houses of the city
 The sign is a most attractive fea- ture for Main street as the lighte
 which include over three hundred Tungsten lamps light up Main street for a great d;smlnce.

 With the Liverpool market still closed little business was done in the early trading. There was absolute ly no disposition to enter into new business and what little trading was done was for the purpose of evening up commitments made before the holi- days At the end oi the first half hour prices were 1 to 3 points under Fri days close.
 The market was very quiet until well toward noon, when selling sud denly began and the report was cirs culated that ginning returns from the belt were showing an increase.
 Selling was entirely from profas- sional sources and it looked as if strong interests were attempting to manipulate a fall with the a Id of the dullness. Just before noon the more active months were IS points under last weeks close. At noon there was small recovery, the trading months standing at net decline oi 12 to 14 points.

TT WAS A TEMPEST
 BUT NO SUNSHIN Y

The candy boy one critic, twelve ladies, including TWO school teachers Assistant Chief of Police James Reid ;nger, SWo program boys and the old regular, Guy Taggart, Mo Roth ard Malachi Donovan were thse unfortu- mates at the F1ks "rheater last night when Tempest and Sunshine" held the boards. The play was dramatized by Lem B. Parker, whoever he is; the book is the work Of Mary J. Holmes, and the presenting company is being financed by w. F. Mann whose prev ious offerings here have shown much Judgment on the part of this we'll known producer.
 It would be really cruel to review the play as it was staged last night It would be even more, cruel to defize the work of the members of the cast. Harsh words would not properly ex- press the feelings of one npon whom the terrible thing was Inflicted. Stronger words would probably re- suit in a libel suit and flor fear of re- vealing the true sentiment of the small audience no comment will Ee made in detail. It was simply awful.

THE FASHIONABLE SCARF Furnished by Pictorial Review
 Ths Pictorial Review Bldg. ,o,o.,ol-226 West 3oth Street, New York City

The scarf occupies a very important position in the outfit and when the purse can afford it the possession of several is to b. desired. A black satin scarf lined ef them all and has the advantage of suitability for any costume. Worn with Q black hat the black and white effect gives distinction to a costume of a diff ferent color.
 Now that Winter is here, of course fur will play an active part in the trimming of scarfs, and velvet will enter into their makeup. Indeed, quite a rich set may of gray fox like the one in the upper illustration which has the large barrel huff to match, entirely of fur.
 PICTORIAL REVIEW PATTERN No. 3738 shows how very simple they are and how one of that kind is worn. Sometimes they are wrapped more closely around the neck, or again carelessly wound around often used, and white satin lining may extend even with the outside edges. One pretty finish, however, is made by having the white lining wide enough to turn hem an inch and quarter wide. This feature is a detail of finish depending on the taste of the maker.
 Three yards long and eighteen inches wide are the measurements of the black satin scarf Some women who are not very tall prefer theirs two and half yards long. This oblong shape has satin ends closely drawn up by several rows of shirring and finished with heavy black. silk tassel
