PSYCHOLOGY OF DRESSING UP
Fancy Dress Balls Supply Cravings
Of Ignored Nature, According
to Observer.

The extraordinary vogue OF the
fancy dress ball of late years-espe-
cially when It is one Of monster dl'
mensions-is one of the straws when
show which way the wind of national
character Is blowing.
For It is not only the young and
curly who throng these gay scenes.
but serious people Of middle age, OF
exalted position. and even of advanced
years.
fancy this rage for dressing up
appeals to something profound and in
stinctive In human nature. II you
look with observant eyes at the tray-
estied figures around you, you VIII
discover that the dress chosen is sym
bolical of a secret aspiration,
thwarted desire, an unacknowledged
ambition.
Thus, the young man who must cen
sit on an office stool year in, year out,
will brazen IT as a pirate, or In the
sauciest Of cavalry uniforms.
The British matron will put on the
flounces and languors of the Travi-
alta, or the striped stockings and mob
cap Of soubrette.
So, also, you shall see ladies of high
degree scantily attired as Bacchantes,
and leading Dionysian dances, while
the soldier or lawyer will impersonate
Pierrot, and girls of fiighty manners
in private life appear. with downcast
lids, as Puritans or nuns.
Perhaps some such outlet for poor
human nature, which is squeezed into
grooves for which it is often III fitted,
is a kind of safety valve which ought
to be encouraged.
Nature is said to take terrible re-
venges on those who steadily ignore
her. The putting on of motley is an
innocent form Of occasionally obeying
her behests.-London Sketch.

SECRETARY WILL CERTIFY
Local Measures VIII ee Submitted
Providing Cash Deposit Is Made.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Little Rock-Acting in accordance
with the decision rendered by Judge
Guy Fulk in the Dallas county case,
Secretary of State Hodges, on the ad-
vice of Attorney General Norwood,
will certify out all the local measures
for which adequate petitions have been
received, providing the persons inter
ested in the initiation of the measures
will indemnify the state for the cost
of the publication of the measures, IN
case the Arkansas Supreme Court re-
verses the decision of Judge Fulk.
This applies only to those local meas
ures which the attorney general has
held are in conflict with the general
laws of the state. Judge Fulk held
that these proposed laws were valid
because the enabling act passed by the
last legislature, providing that local
laws could be proposed only when
they were consistent with the general
laws of the state, was unconstitutional.
In the case Of many of the proposed
local measures which are regarded by
the attorney general as inconsistent
with the general laws of the state,
those urging the adoption of the
measures will be required to make a
deposit to cover the expense of the
publication of the measures. If the
supreme court sustains the decision
Of the lower court this money will be
refunded.
Among the measures included in
this case are the following:
Garland county racing bill.
Little Rock Sunday baseball bill.
Argenta Sunday baseball and thea
ter bill
Sebastian county salary bill.
Pope county salary bill
Clark county salary bill.
Bill moving the county seat Of
Montgomery county from Mt. Ida to
Womble
Bill making the county judge of Cal
mum county lOdu anu VI IuSC NoiHiAi4'
sioner
Howard county depository law.
Bill permitting the sale Of licuor in
Camden.
Among the local measures which
are held to be valid, without regard to
the decision of Judge Fulk and which
will be certified ont by the secretary
of state. are the LOnoke and Conway
county fence laws, the bill providing
for the adjustment of the Southern
judicial district in Prairie county, and
the bills exempting Independence and
Sharp counties from the provisions OF
the bill creating the Northeast Ark
ansas Tick Eradication District,
The attorney general has not rem
dered a final decision on the bill pre-
scrbing the salaries of certain Off
cials of Sebastian county and hear
ing will be granted on this measure
before a final decision is given.
The first publication Of the meas
ures to be submitted to the people in
September must be made, under the
law, during the last week in May and
there must be six weekly insertions
Of the measures proposed in all the
newspapers which publish the meas-
ures.
