UNIQUE AND LOVELY
WEDDING GOWN

In a model wedding gown shown by a
fashionable modiste the foundation ma
terial was a satin. but a superb heavy
embroidery in lustrous white silk upon
fine, net made the gown unique and
beautiful. This embroidery, deliciously
soft and pliable. despite its heavy char
acter, formed the whole of the long XII
mono shoulder and encircled the wide,
though modified kin,ono armholes. From
the shoulders it ran down upon the bod
ice. bordering the U-shaped guimpe and
continuing in a panel down the front OF
the gown. Toward the bottom of the
skirt this panel widened in harmony
with the wide shoulder lines and the en-
broidery was continued around the skirt
bottom, running up IN helf-length panels
at the sides of the skirt.
Plain folds or hens Of the satin bor-
dered armholes. guimpe and skirt. 1t
must be remembered that the embroid-
cry was set into these folds and into
the bodice and skirt. not merely applied.
Such lavish handwork. of course. means
extravagant costliness, but this model,
with its embroidered net, its suggestion
of the draped armhole. its slightly short
ened waistline. at the sides and back
and its long, transparent. wrinkled nit
ten sleeves Of tulle matching the guimpe,
illustrates admirably the possibilities for
the introduction of the latest ideas. into
the. formal wedding gown.
The long transparent sleeve figured in
a number Of wedding gowns, but 1t was
significant that in almost every case the
gowns had been designed very early and
on good authority the most important of
the later bridal robes have short sleeves
to be worn with long gloves. The long.
transparent sleeve may be worn II one
will. but it is not to fill the important
place 'prophesied for 1t.
touch of silver Is used upon some
of the French wedding gowns, heavy
embroidery in white silk upon silver net
being an effective expression of this idea.

Fee For Each Charge.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 4.-Under
the Arkansas statute, prose-
cutting attorney is entitled to the
prescribed fee of $25 for each
conviction on criminal charge,
| for each count of an Indictment.
County Judge M. E. Vinson of
Cleburne county, wrote that
there were three indictments,
each containing two counts, for
forgery and for uttering, and
pleas of guilty. were entered to
all. Attorney General Moose
holds that this makes six convic-
tions, for which the prosecuting
attorney would be entitled to $25
each.
81 do not think it would be ma
terial," says the attorney gener
al whether all the judgments
were entered up in one order or
whether six separate judgments
were entered. The prosecuting
attorney is entitled to a fee for
each conviction, and, as | con-
strue it in the case you mention,
there were six convictions.
"The defendant in this case is
supposed to be serving six SEN
fences for six separate felonies.
If the prosecuting attorney is
entitled to one fee, it seems to
me he is entitled to- six.
'aThis same opinion has been
given by the Supreme Court in
the case of Hampstead County
VS.. McCollum. In that case the
defendant entered a plea of
guilty to an indictment charging
him in two separate counts with
burglary and grand larceny.
The court held that the plea of
guilty to both counts followed
by sentence of the court, con-
stituted two convictions for
which the prosecution attorney
was entitled to a fee of $25
