 Defeat Adjournment
 The move to adjourn permanently was defeated by Senator Hoke Smith, as sisted in no small measure by Senator Clarke of Arkansas. president pro tenn of the Senate Although any motion for ad- journment Is not open to oehate. Clarke allowed Smith to argue against adjourr- ment and eventually suggested that he might offer an amendment to the joint resolution from the House. Whereat. Smith moved to lay 1t on the table. This was done and recess was taken from 4:3o to 5:So. Then Smith resumed his fight and ultimately the Senate went Into ex- eoutive session on motion of Senator Jones.
 At the same time Representative Under wood moved that the House adjourn till noon tomorrow. as also did the Senate. and 1t was SO ordered.

strictly up to date when the time
comes for wearing it.
A very pretty development of it
shows a plain skirt, quite full enough
TO step in at the normal stride, with
the hip drapery made of figured voile
having white ground with colored
flowers. The bodice is made of this
voile combined with shadow lace.
There is a girdle of leaf green messa-
line ribbon and sash which extends
about the figure under the drapery
and ties in bow Cat the right side)
with short hanging ends. These pret-
ty voiles sell at a very reasonable
price-in the neighborhood Of forty
cents a yard-and make up into as
elegant looking dresses as those that
cost four or five times as much.
We are to have a spring and sum
mer season with everything flower
decked. Small flowers on hats.

Powder PuHs for the Purse.

Little crocheted powder puffs are
the latest novelty for the purse. They
can easily be made at home.
Crochet two circular pieces about
the size OF a silver dollar out OF mer-
cerized cotton OF any shade desired.
Carefully sew. them together, leaving
small openings through which to pour
in the powder. Fill the bag full with
the powder, so that II will sift through
easily when patted gently on the face.
Then make pretty edge around the
circular piece by crocheting a few
rows OF plain chain stitch, each added

New Materials for Toilet Articles.

iNGW IOT OllCt ATtICleS.
If you must be abreast OF the times
throw away or give away the toilet
articles in silver, ivory or celluloid
which have been your faithful friends
for years, and get everything new in
art glass, which comes i'm the most
alluring tints OF cream, rose, mauvo
and green and in classically severe de-
signs. The little boxes for powder,
rouge and soap have square bottoms
like the base of a Corinthian pillar
and convex covers like the dome OF
the Madeleine, while the clock cases,
pin trays and mirror backs are equal
ly plain and ponderous. II you don't
care for toilet articles in glass, even
of the most artistic sort. you may
turn toward those in alabaster, or
what looks like alabaster. These
come in shapes similar TO the articles
in glass, but are pure white and prom
ise to be more durable.

SCHOOL PROPOSITION LOST.
Consolidated School Question at kir-
on Defeated 1903 to 62-Will Not
Drop the Proposition.

The Kiron consolidated school prop
osition was defeated last Saturday
when the matter was voted upon. Had
all of the voters been as loyal to the
proposition as were those in the town
Of Kiron it would have carried by a
small majority, but as it was neces-
sary to secure majority of the votes
cast both in the town of Kiron and
the contiguous territory, it went down
to defeat. In the town of kiron Sc
votes we're cast in favor of consoli-
dated independent school while only
votes were cast against it. Those
living in the contiguous territory
were apparently against the PROPOSE
ton as 108 votes were cast against it
and 81 for it.
County Supt. +. N Olry informs US
that the town of Kiron does not in
tend to give up the proposition and
there is now movement on foot to
form a new district and eliminate
sections where the opposition was so
strong and in this manner secure a
sufficient number of votes 1t is said
that those residing in the immediate
vicinity of Kiron were in favor of the
consolidation, while those living at a
distance were the opposers. Should
the new proposition fail we are told
that Kiron will form a regular indie
pendent school district such as other
towns now have.
The matter has stirred up consider
able interest at kiron and that locality
for the past year.
