Flannel Overcoats.

.Overcoats are a necessity for tray-
cling and very pretty ones are being
made in colored serges and flannels.
They have many pockets, large but
tons and should be suitable on an
emergency to wear In motor. Home
spuns are also employed for this make
OF coat, except for driving, and little
coats are replacing overcoats for daily
wear; they are so much lighter and
quite as warm: Some pretty red coats
a are being worn with white dresses.

HAIR ORNAMENT.

: The present fashion for wearing
ribbon in the hair affords scope for
many dainty devices, such, for exam
pie. as the becoming arrangement
shown in the accompanying sketch.
The ribbon is draped smoothly in the
center, and then gathered into rosette
bows on either side, and in the center
OF each bow is small jeweled orna-
ment. A fairly long hairpin Is sewn
firmly underneath each rosette at
the back, and serves to keep the head
dress securely in it's place.

Some Of the new shadow laces have
their patterns outlined with thread

The most favored fabrics for little

Among the new ribbons are COM

Young girls are wearing the large
shephe-dess hats with streaming rib

Large gilt hairpins. headed by arti-

 In view of the fact that many of the outside delegates to Fort Worth will join the train at Pine Bluff it is now proposed to have meeting of the Arkansas Live Stock Association in this city on March 12 and to ar range for the entertainment of these visitors while here.
