WITH ROUND OR SQUARE NECK, WITH
OR WITHOUT SHIELD SLEEVES.
Well-cut, shapely underwear Is always
important but just now is really essential
to anything like good style. This COM
bination garment Is excellent for small
women as well as for young girls and Is
absolutely without fullness over the hips
and at the waist line while the corset cover
is just full enough to be pretty and be-
coming for slender figures. All the dainty
lawns and b~atistes and the cotton GRE
PONIES that are so much liked for UNDER
wear are pretty and the trimming can be
varied to suit the individual taste. Lace
and embroidery are standbyes but many
girls like hand embroidery and II Is I'M
q~uestionably dainty. This petticoat could
be finished with a scalloped edge instead
of the embroidered ruffle and the corset
I'VE could be finished with scalloped
edges and with some simple design to be
very charming. The skirt is made In four
pieces, the corset cover In three. The arn-
with sleeves that are wide enough to sup
port shields at the under-arms and taper
to nothing at the shoulders.
For the Is year size, the garment will
require III yards Of material 50 o. ~
yards "a inches wide with S yards OF
banding 3 yards of edging and 2 yards Of
embroidery S inches wide for ths frill.
The pattern 1921 is cut in sizes for misses
of ID, I6 and IS years. 1t will be NAILED to
any address by the Fas ion H., ment

IN "Y0UR OWN" ROOM
some IDEAS AS TO FURNISHINGS
AND DECORATION.
Proper Preparations for Rest, Amid
Cheerful Surroundings, Must Be
Looked To, and Simplicity
Be an Object.

Every house takes on the personal
lty Of the dominating individuality
dwelling within 1t, with chameleon
like rapidity. It Is inevitable that
the household ruler expresses himself
or herself Enthusiastically, in endless lit
tie ways, to be discovered on every
side. Whether illiterate or a scholar,
rich or poor, that influence Is evident
everywhere throughout the house,
with the possible exception Of the diff
ferent bedrooms. Ones individual
bedroom Is or should be ones king
dom, and cannot be invaded by any
influence ave that Of Its occupant.
1t should mean more than merely a
place to sleep; 1t is your ROOM" and
that expresses something very per-
sonal.
Aside from the question of person
atty there are certain elemental
things to be done with a bedroom to
make 1t at once practical and attrac-
tive. A reasonable amount of n.y.
giene does not interfere with either
beauty or individuality, and should
be introduced in every case, regard
less of either. The furniture should
be simple and easily cleaned. The
draperies should preferably be of
washable materials and easily taken
down for an occasional airing. There
should be as few pictures on the walls
as possible.
A small night table by the bed has a
hundred constant uses, and Is an at
tractive addition to the One
should always have a candle or a
night lamp conveniently at hand, as
well as drinking water. The old-fash-
toned commode is being used again in
the more deliberately furnished rooms,
but the night table Is adaptable to any
bedroom where there Is a space for
1t.
The growing inclination to keep the
living room and library more imper-
sonal than they were a few years ago
has made the writing desk or writing
table almost as regularly q bedroom
article as is the dressing table. Ia.
bles are probably used more generally
than desks. They are furnished with
attractive little sets of drawers, filing
cabinets and various similar accss-
SORES, that make them good to look
at and OF practical use. Such q table

DIVORCE SUITS
 FILED IN CHANCtRY

Two suits for divorce were filed with Circuit Clerk J. H. Hartje yes terday afternoon for trial in the next term of chancery court They are as follows: Anna Jones, plaintiff, vs. Milas Jones, defendant. The plaintiff states they were married February 15, 1906, and claims desertion by the defendant since July 15, 1911. She alleges that he often struck and abus- ed her and paid attentions to other women. These, the plaintiff, believes, are sufficient grounds to believe the defendant has lost all love and affec- tion he ever held toward her. She prays for alimony and attorneys fees.
 L. B. Dawson, plaintiff, vs, Belle Dawson, defendant. Plaintiff claims assertion without cause. He states they were lawfully married May 24, 1900, and that his wife has deserted him for an indefinite time without any cause whatever. Plaintiff asks that all bands of matrimony which have heretofore existed between him and the defendant be cast aside and anulled forever, and prays that the custody of a son born to them be given to him.

INVESTIGATION WAS FAIR
so SAYS GOVERNOR IN DENY ING ASSERTION OF CAP
 TAIN HICKEY.

Little Rock, August 2.-In regard to the statement of Captain l.. D. Hickey, the deposed captain of the Jonesboro company, that the investi- gation at Fordyce was unfair and that the governor had called upon partisans of his to give evidence against the captain, Governor Dona- ghey yesterday emphatically denied the assertion and said that the inves- tigation was just as fair as could possibly have been made. He said that he had not considered whether those called upon to assist in the in- vestigation were his political friends or not, but upon recalling the affair he found that not one in ten of them were.
 "There is nothing in Capt. Hickey's statement whatever" said the gover- nor, I didn't ask any questions about that side of the matter, and certainly it was no political matter. The first thing I did after arriving at Fordyce was to call the officers to- gether and talk to them, and then I called on the mayor, the sheriff and the marshal and asked them to pro cure reliable citizens to give evidence in the matter"

SHAKE UP IN
 POLICE DEPT, TEN OFFICERS SUSPENDED DRINKING WHILE ON DUTY IS CHARGE MADE BY MAYOR
 CHAS. E. TAYLOR. /

Little Rock, August IA general shakeup in the Little Rock police de- partment occurred yesterday and last night. Ten of the eighty members of the force were suspended on the charge of violating the rules by drinking on duty. Others may be suspended later. For some time the chief has been warning the men that they must not frequent saloons, as many of them have been accustomed to do.
 Mayor Taylor is taking cognizance of the many complaints that are be- ing made of inefficiency on the police department, and is determined to put it upon a higher standard. He has been quietly at work for several months on plan for the reorganiza- ton and reformation of the whole de- partment, and is about ready to make this known. He will have the sup port of the council and the public in any steps he may take to increase the efficiency of the department.
 Among other reforms, he expects to fix physical standard to be pur- sued in the employing of officers, as well as a moral standard. The time has come, he thinks, when Little Rock should not have police officers of small stature All should be of a certain fixed weight and height, men who will command respect for the dignity of the law

great majority of the companies have paid the property tax of 2 1-2 per cent on part of their net receipts. In paying this tax, however, a large number of the companies in addition to deducting losses and commissions from their gross receipts, have also deducted returned premiums, reinsu- rance premiums, dividends, refunds and rebates. The state contends that these deductions were unlawful and judgment is asked for a ? 1-2 per cent tax thereon.
 "'Fhe privilege tax, which is fixed by the act of 1873 at 3 per cent on the entire amount of premiums re- ceived, has not been paid by any of the companies sinnce 1880, which is as far back as we have gone in exam ming the records. The legislature of 1873 provided for the payment of these two kinds of taxes by foreign insurance companies, one tax on property, and the other tax for the privilege of doing an insurance busi- ness in this state. In 1875 the prop erty tax was changed, and instead of the property being subject to the gen eral state and county levies, levy of 2 1-2 per centum was provided. This latter act did not repeal the act re- quiring the payment of privilege tax, because to construe it otherwise would be to exempt property from taxation, which is contrary to the constitution"
 The legal machinery of the insu- rance companies, which went through such a siege in the great antitrust war of 1899, is preparing to contest the payment of these back taxes to the limit. They contend that they do not owe the amounts sued for.

STATE SUES FOR
 4 MILLION TAXES
DELINQUENCY ISCHARCED
DEFENDANTS ARE 130 FOR EIGN COMPANIES DOING
 BUSINESS IN STATE.

Little Rock, August 1.-The most sensational suit fled against the in- surance companies of the state since Attorney General Jeff Davis attempt ed to oust the old-lne. fire companies from the state l3 years ago, has just been filed in Pulaski chancery court by Attorney General H. l.. Norwood and Assistant Attorney General w. H. Rector
 They have sued S8 fire, accident and miscel llaneous companies for S2.- 9O6,698.67, and against AZ life insu- rance companies for $1,329,913.08. making an aggregate of $4 4,236,61 .75 the state is asking in back taxes as far as 1880.
 There are only a few companies not sued, and suits will be brought against most of them later, with the exception of the home companies. Ev- cry company that has been doing bus mess in the state for two years or more will be sued. The life compa- nies are hardest hit. The largest amount sued for is $342, ,775.73, which the New York Life is asked to pay. The Equitable has been sued for $249, ,192.27, and the Mutual Life of New York for S264, ,517.91. The larg- est amount asked from any fire com pany is $90, ,506S2 from the Hart ford.
 The governor has appointed A. w. Dobyns of Little Rock as special counsel to assist the attorney general in the prosecution of the suits. Speedy trials will be insisted upon by the state, and suits for back taxes have right of way over all other cases.
 In discussing the suits, the attor- ney general made the following state ment:
 "The contentious of the state are that all foreign insurance companies are annually liable for the payment of two species of taxes, one proper | ty tax on it's gross receipts, less loss es and commissions, and the other a privilege tax on it's gross receipts, allowing no deductions whatever. A

DEVOTED WOMEN.

Greater than the chivalric story Of
the men who went down with the Ii
tanic in order that the hfeboats
might be filled with women and chill
dren is the tale of devotion of those
women who refused to leave their
husbands and gave up their chances
of escape in order to stay with their
loved ones.
Many newspapers throughout the
world are commenting upon the wife
Iy devotion shown by Mrs. Isadore
Straus and other women who refused
TO enter the boats though they had
opportunities to do so.
In De Morgan's best story the eli
max is attained at the crisis when, in
