ASK CONTRACTORS
 TO DOUBLE FORCE
COMMISSION URGES GREAT rR SPEED IN COMPLETION OF
 STATE CAPITOL.

Little Rock, April .-lsll members of the state capitol commission ar rived in Little Rock yesterday after noon and held a short session at which only routine business was transacted. Ten big meeting is taking place today and from it will result some rush work on the new state capitol. Will liam Miller, the head of the contract ing concern which is completing the building, has been summoned by tele- graph and will arrive today. Cass Gilbert, the architect, has also been sent an urgent call, and will attend the meeting which will take place this afternoon.
 The commission has sent for these men because it wants to go over the details of the work of completing the building, and make an effort to have the contractors double the force and get the building ready for occupancy a month or so earlier than contracted for in order thta there will be no chance for a slip, which would pre- vent the next legislature meeting in the building.
 To those who are not contractors, it would seem a difficult feat to push the work more rapidly than is now be- ing done, but Governor Donaghey says it can be done, and the commits sion relies very muc hupon his repu- tation as a contractor an dtakes what ever he says to be so.

GIRLS WHO SLOUGH.
A Little Lecture Aimed at Those
Whom Il Will Hit.

and especially by young women. that
Of slouching is probably the most in
excusable.
1t is an insidious fault. Most of
those who have fallen victims to the
habit are not at all aware of it. So
oblivious are they to the fact that it is
frequently delicate matter to call
their attention to it without exciting
their resentment.
Slouching, of course, results from
negligence. 1t becomes in time lack
of self control.
If taken in the beginning a trifling
exercise Of energy will be sufficient to
overcome it. Although it may seem
to you to be only a trifling matter. it
does not appear that way to others.
They will not be slow to criticise you

Of valued friendship.
1t is really matter of so much i'm
portance that it behooves every girl
to pause. Try to see yourself as 9TH

vince yourself that you are perfectly
free from the habit. you are to be con-
graduated. If self examination re-
veals to you the fact that you are a
victim, begin at once to apply the rem
edy. You may be your own physician,
and there need be no uncertainty as to
the cure.
Remember. my dear. you may have

The habit of letting the shoulders
droop and the back stoop may have
been acquired by rapid growth or by
overzealous study. but whatever the
cause it should be remedied as quick

freely at the sides. Don't fold your
hands while walking or standing. and
train yourself TO walk with free, long
strides instead of hopping or waddling,
as so many women do. Don't neglect
while walking to see to it that the
poise of your head is correct-well held
back instead of being thrown forward
in advance of your body.

was made before she finished. Her col
oring was not the kind to withstand
the white next to her skin, and as she
wished to look her joy on the great
day, she decided to lessen the white
ness of the costume by the use of an
underslip of pale pink.
This gave warm glow to her gown

glory of a hidden dawn in it's deli

Miss Jennie Crocker is one of the first

by Miss Crocker at recent evening

and fastened under the arms to form a
sleeve, and the long front ends are
weighted with tassels or fringe The
chiffon wrap may occur also in kimono
shape with three-quarter length
sleeve. Velvet bands are used to trim
many of these little shapes, and in the
instance of Miss Crocker's wrap .
jeweied disk holds the fullness at the
back. The charm lies in the contrast
of color that is given. The wrap just

brief hour later when the ceremony
was performed by Rev. Joseph Worces-

an attractive girl, and her gown of

The dernier erie from abroad is anent
the bridal gown. They say that the
spring bride is no longer clinging to
the long established customs of her
grandmothers. Nowadays women who
contemplate formal weddings are
throwing traditions to the winds and
are planning their trousseaus with two
very important facts in mind-the be-
comingness of style to the weare er
and a note of individuality that is dis
tinctive.
There is no sensible reason why a
bride of today should look her worst in
certain trying shade of dead white
satin, or conceal her beauty behind a
veil that curtains the face after the
manner of the mosquito defying cano-
pies.
OF course, there is always an unde
niable dignity in a plain cut of white
satin, but practicability must be con-
sidered. and, in most instances, the
dress will be chosen with a view to
the years to come.
Frequently there can be given a soft
touch by yelling the gown with net
tulle: that, is, when there is no decora-
tion of old lace. This latter, if one be
fortunate enough to have it in the
family. is a valuable addition to the
gown.
One bride departed so decidedly from
the rigid rule of things that many
others are holding up their hands in
astonishment. She is a foroeful little
woman and is in a position to insist
upon her ideas being carried out at her
own wedding.
