A NOVEL SKIRT TRIMMING.

One Of the prettiest dresses that has
been completed in readiness for
boarding school girl is made of chiffon
in a delicious shade Of pink and IS
trimmed with little plaitings of the
same. The straight, two-piece skirt
is trimmed with these plaitings that
are arranged in quite novel way.
Above the hem, they are arranged in
big scallops, giving something of
fcstooned effect and again, at a dis
lance above, there are two rows that
are SO planned as to give quite
tunic suggestion. The simple little
bodice is made with short sleeves
and modestly low neck. Over it
is arranged hchu. This fchu is
finished with frills and the sleeves
are covered with more frills while
the bodice itself is of lace and there
is bunch OF roses arranged where
the fichu terminates at the front.

ACCORDION PLATING
POPULAR.

Accordion plating is being extern
sively used and it is always pretty.

fashionable thin fabrics and it will
be worn both by the little girls and
by the grown-ups throughout the
spring and summer. Charming

accordion plated, and again, one
sees very pretty dresses made with
either accordion or narrow fiat plated
skirts worn with plain blouses. Since
plating Of the kind is done by machine
and the cost is slight, the fashion is a
satisfactory one for the home dress
maker. 1t is simple matter to make
the gown after the fabric has been

A NOVEL TREATMENT.

Accordion plated frocks are many
of them treated in quite novel and
extremely interesting ways. A pretty
one seen today is of palest green
chiffon. There is skirt finished only
with hem and over it a short tunic
or deep double peplum, and the bodice
is simple one in kimono style but,
as the material is all soft and plated,
the effect is fluffy and dainty, never
theless. Above the hem Of the skirt,
there is band of rhinestone trim
ming that holds the plaits partially
in place. All the other edges are
unhemmed and are finished with
heavy white embroidery silk, single
strand being whipped on to the raw
edge, and the effect is most unusual
and most charming. The girdie is Of
soft messaline and just at the upper
edge is a little vine of tiny chiffon
rose-buds with their leaves which
terminates in an ornament of the
same flowers and around the neck
edge is garniture Of the same sort.
Chiffon is always girlish and is always
pretty but il is particularly fasci-

require full dress, white and light
colored voiles are extensively used.
There is great tendency toward all
kinds of fluffy trimmings, and ruchings,
plaitings, founces and frills are used
in goodly numbers. As they are
essentially youthful in effect, they
belong to the girls costumes by natural
right. Accordion plating is smart in
the extreme, too, and tiny fiat plaits
that are laid BY machine are much

FASHION NOTES OF INTEREST.

7 HOLIDAY dances and all sorts
II Of fees mean party frocks
as an inevitable conclusion.
Girls who are returning from boarding
school and college and even those
who are fortunate enough to live at
home are looking forward to fasei-
mating occasions without number and
for their comfort, let it be said that
dresses are really lovely, They are
made of the softest, filmiest, most
fascinating fabrics. Their lines are
simple and they just bespcak girlish
charm. Chiffon, tulle or maline,
Brussels net and the lovely shadow
laccs are pronounced favorites, but
crepe de chine, messaline, crepe
mateore, charmeuse satin and all the
similar fabrics are equally in vogue,
while, for the younger contingent and
for the many occasions that do not

Even the quite untrimmed frock that
is treated in that way becomes attract
i've and party-like in effect and re-
quires only little lace and a sash
to make it complete. The wisest
dressmakers advocate the greatest
simplicity and in one Of the leading
houses is shown dress of this sort

to expenditure in dress. For the
coming season, crepe de chine promises
to be a first favorite and it is peculiarly
well adapted to the lovely draped
gowns and to the blouscs that are
worn with coat suits. Many Of the
crepcs are made in brocaded or broche
effects and one of the costumes illus
trated shows a brocaded crepe COM
bincd with a plain while there are
touches Of darker coored satin that

DROPPING SHOULDER LINE AN
IMPORTANT FEATURE.

The dropping shoulder line makes
very important feature of the latest
fashions also and those who have
looked into the glass of the future
assert that it will be extensively
used throughout the spring. Long
sleeves joined to the blouse at the
elongated line are at the height of
fashion. but what is known as the
"set-in sleeves that is joined at the
slightly dropping line is equally smart.
So long as we have the dropping
suggestion, all is we'll. Never were
fabrics more beautiful and both the
brocaded and the plain materials are

ends at the back. The whole effect
is charming one, for the material
and style are essentially youthful.
Crepe meteore, however. makes very
lovely frocks and it is especially pretty
with trimming of shadow lace. A
most attractive costume that results
from the two is made of the white
silk with the lace in the soft, creamy
tone that is SO pretty over white.
The skirt is plain save for slight

side. the lower edge is left open for
few inches while the edges are
curved. The bodice is in the kimono
style with short sleeves that are
slightly draped over the shoulders
and the neck is cut in V-shape. Over

that it might easily be made between
the reading Of this letter and the all
important day.

great many genuine tunes are seen.
In a general way, it may be said
that we are wider between the hips
and the knees, narrower at the feet
and shoulders. The fact that such
an outline is not the one of Nature in
no way interferes with the truth that
1t is smart and, when one has lovely
fabrics, exquisite trimmings, colors
that are ravishing, she feels little in
clination to cavil if. perchance, Art
has superseded Nature.

NECK FINISH OPTIONAL.

There is almost no rule in the
matter of neck finish for one may
wear gown finished with round
neck or one with high collar, as She
likes. A great many costumes are
being made with removable ehem-
settles, of transparent net or lace, which
can be worn when occasion requires
and omitted when low neck is desired.

All the variations Of the Robespierre
collar are promised extended vogue.
A somewhat importantffeature of pre-
vaiiing styles is found in the round
neck with long sleeves and pretty lace
trills that fall over the hands make
charming finish.

THERE are so many interesting

lace abundantly used for trimming
but chiffon comes in for its share of
attention and il used as drapery and
is combined with lace while, not in
frequently, two or three materials
are utilized in single gown. A

Memphis, March 29.-Gov. Futrell Iof Arkansas, not waiting for legal sanction for his action, yesterday gave .orders to the state farm to dispatch lat once 100 convicts to the St. Fran cis levee board to be used on the levees lat Wyanoke.
 The action of the governor, while it may he not strictly legal, in this emergency will meet with the approv- .al of the whole state, which feels that the levees must be held at any cost as a flood against this year in the St Francis Basin would be a calamity to the entire state. Two lean years in succession would bankrupt any coun- try not as rich as the St. Francis Basin

A quarter boat with equipment will be ready to receive them this morning, and the govern ment towboat Sachem will be station ed there to keep in touch with head quarters and supplies.
 It is reported by steamboats which arrived yesterday that all along the river every farmer with a team has been pressed into service on the levees in the fight to bring them up to a standard capable of holding greater flood than that of last year. The ser- vice has been cheerfully and willingly given because of the fact that the levee board and the engineers have the confidence of the people, who are striving in every way to cooperate.

LITTLE ROCK DONATES

Little Rock, March 29.-At a meet ing of the entertainment fund com mittee of Little Rock Friday after noon, the proposition made by the off, cers of the Arkansas National Guard,
 to hold the annual encampment in Lit
 tie Rock if the city would donate $3,-
 800 toward the maintenance of the
 guard for the year, was discussed. It was finally decided to donate 5000
 toward the entertainment of the en-
 campment, and the Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce agreed to
 solicit subscriptions for an additional 1925 which will be used toward the maintenance of the guard for the year. As much of this money as pos sible will be raised in Little Rock, but the secretaries of the two organiza- tions were instructed to take the mat ter up with the other towns of the state, particularly those which have companies in the guard, and request
 the citizens there to assist in keeping the guard from being disbanded. Com Imittees will solicit the subscriptions in Little Rock during the coming week.

CHAPEL TO RETIRE.

Little Rock, March 29.-Perry Chapel, superintendent of the reform school, will retire next Monday to be- come associated with the real estate department of the Southern Trust Company, Little Rock. Superintend- ent Chapel was requested to remain in his position by the Board of Peni- tentiary Commissioners, but declined, saying the strain of looking after 40 young criminals, who were liable to start something any minute, was too much for him. It was after the su- perintendent had declined to accept reappointment that State Senator W. N. Deaton was elected.

ST. PATRICK IS
 HIGHLY HON0RED
BY NORMAL SOCIETIES
CLARY AND NIKATIMA SOCIE TIES ENTERTAIN THEIR
 PATRON SAINT.

At 8 o'clock last evening the Nor nal chapel was filled with a motly crowd of representatives from every nation. The white caps and black bodices of the Dutch maidens and German "fraus,' the war-paint and feathers of the Indians, red sashes of the Spanish, yellow trimmings of the Italians, green shamrock decorations of the Irish, and the white costumes with jeweled trimmings of the classic Grecian maidens, combined a most pleasing color scheme. Everywhere the verdure was evidenced by sham rocks.
 Miss Dee Jones raised the curtain with a reading, in which she told of many disputes about St. Patrick's birthday. Then the old saint (Doug- las Keith slipped in ever so quietly and spoke for himself. He reprimand- ed the celebrators severely for allow ing such a small thing as term "eXams" to cause the date of their celebration to be moved up, and said they had almost pushed him off into April. He took full charge and con- ducted the exercises in very pleas ing manner The following program was rendered:
 Miss Pearl Smith rendered a Dutch reading, entitled "Unlucky Me-"
 Dust Song" by the Dutch cousins.
 Sweep Song" the German "fraus."
 "Pow-wow," by our own American Indians.
 Song, Santa Lucia" by the Ital- ians.
 Spanish Dance," by maids from Sunny Spain.
 Irish Wake" by the Irish, of course.
 Cradle Drill" by the Classic Greeks, "Juanita" and "Mohungus and Josephus" (encore), by the Nor nal Glee Club.
 The guests then repaired to the so- ciety hall, where a guessing contest was had. Miss Edith Wise won the prize which was presented by Prof. o. w. Stephenson.
 The color scheme of white and green was carried out in the refresh ments, the cream done with a green shamrock in the center.
 The favors were hods, pipes, hats, clubs, pigs and frogs, which, indeed showed up" the Irish.
 Those present were members of the Clary and Nikatima Literary Socie- ties, the faculty of the State Normal, the Normal Glee Club, representatives from the Wingo and Crestomath So- cieties and few town people.
 Miss Mary A. Bernard, the sponsor of the societies, deserves special credit for the arrangement and rendition of such a delightful entertainment.
