There are 34 members of the senate and 100 of the house. There are 16 members of the senate who served in the session of 1913, and 21 members of the house were returned.
 The oldest member of the house is Dan w. Jones of Pulaski, who is 75 years old. The youngest member is Oscar E. Ellis of Fulton, who is 22. The oldest member of the senate is J. Monroe Smith of Union and Bradley counties, who is 69 years of age, and the youngest member is Sam N. Yam of Cross and Woodruff coun- ties, who is just 25, the required age for the upper house.
 All the senators are Democrats, and there are only three Republicans in the house, H. A. Jeter of Madison, Benjamin F. Ruble of Newton and Christopher c. Taylor of Searcy. There are 26 natives of Arkansas in the senate, and B members of the house who were born in Arkansas.
 There are more lawyers in the sen- ate than any other occupation, there being 15, while there are 13 farmers, merchants, 3 teachers and one each of salesmen, insurance men, minis ters, physicians and printers. In sev- eral instances the same man is re- ported as following two occupations.
 In the house there greater diver sity of occupation, but still the law yers lead with total of 37 in their class, although some of them prefer to be known as attorneys. Agriculture claims the next highest number, 33, although some of the farmers make the fine distinction of being classed as planters or stockmen. There are 10 teachers, six merchants, three preachers, four insurance men and two salesmen. There are also one author, one editor, one printer, one druggist, one real estate man, one mu- sician, one telephone manager, and the state manager of the Woodmen of the World.

Women's Missionary News

After January 1, the woman's work, known as the Home Mission and For eign Missionary societies, will be com bined and the work of both done un- der the name of the Woman's Mis- sionary Society. Officers for this so- ciety will be elected at a meeting to be held Monday at 3 p. m. in the Lea que room. We most earnestly request you to be present at this meeting and to cooperate with us during the re- Organization period that the work may not suffer. The combining of the two societies is the work of the gen neral board and not of the local au thorities. There are problems to solve, new plans to try, so if you con- slider the missionary society worth while at all, come and help us, at least through one year. This work needs you and the chances are you need the work. Remember, ''he who does noth- ing soon becomes nothing"

Elaborated Blankets.

The invest gift imaginable for an old
lady is a pair of pretty blankets. The
blankets may be as expensive or as in
expensive as you please. When you buy
them they are just ordinary blankets.
After they are purchased, bind them
with bias folds that form a one or two
inch deep binding, cut from some pretty
wash silk in a pale color. The silk
should, Of course, match the stripes upon
the blanket II you wish to bind the
blankets in lavender and it is impossible
to procure a blanket with lavender
stripes upon it, use white or cream blank
cts without stripes of color, and bind
the plain blankets in lavender.
The blankets may be bound only on
the upper edges or on both the upper
and lower edges. II they are bound on
the sides as well, they will not tuck"

inches or so from the binding, an initial
or monogram may be worked in outline
or French knots, or worked solidly in the

Platinum Wedding Rings Latest.

Wedding rings of platinum have be-
Seome fashionable, owing to the growing
liking for platinum settings to jeweled
rings worn on the same hand.
The man who thinks a plain gold band
too ordinary for his bride rejoices in the
platinum circlet because it costs about
three times as much, and even a twenty
two-karat gold ring does not reach the
price.
As for the jeweIed wedding ring, few
people select it because Of the hard wear

wearer has any sentiment as to remov-

FAMOUS
WOMEN
Her
Birthday
And
Yours
October 2O-Queen Sophia Charlotte
Pauline Borghese.

A day Of royal nativities Is October 20
for 1t is the birthday Of Sophia Charlotte
wife Of Frederick I, the FIRST King Of
Prussia, and Of Pauline Borghese, the
second sister of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Sophia Charlotte was born in 1868 and
was married when she was sixteen years
old to Frederick I as his second wife
Sophia was a great lover Of learning and
a patroness of the arts. Charlottenburg
now practically a part OF Berlin. was
named after her, and there was placed
the wonderfully beautiful royal palace
where are still to be seen the luxurious
apartments of the Queen They were
among the very first apartments in Ger
many to be furnished in the French
style Of decoration famous In the reign
Of Louis XVI. It was at Charlotte's re-
quest that King Frederick founded the
Academy OF Sciences in Berlin.
Sophia was very fond of being esteem
ed learned and nothing pleased her bet
ter than to have the learned Germans OF
the time drawn around her. The great
philosopher Leibnitz was her especial
favorite, and It was to her repeated Ques-
tions for explanations OF everything that
he said: 1T is impossible to reply to
her from the very foundation because
always " hHOh the why OF
the why"
Pauline Borghese, the second sister of
Napoleon Bonaparte, was a very fascin-
ating woman. She was born in the Cor
sican home OF the Bonapartes about ten
years after the birth of the great Ma
poleon. and from her childhood she was
marked by very great beauty She seems
to have been a rather silly woman, how
ever. and possessed no very great de-
gree Of education. She was sympathetic
and kindhearted and was willing to part
with her last sou for the sake Of her
friends. She was the only member Of
the Bonaparte family who had little
personal ambition. She was, however,
fond Of luxury and quite as indulgent
OF herself as she was OF her. friends.
Napoleon complained once that 1t was
useless to give Pauline money for she
no sooner received il than she was back
with outstretched hand begging for more.
When she was twenty-three she was
married to Camille Borghese. In the
possession Of the present English royal
family is a statue by the famous sculptor
Canova known as Venus Victorious" 1"
The original Of this beautiful Venus was
Pauline Borghese, and the statue was
wrought at the command OF the emperor
who knew full well that his beautiful
sister was well able to fll the role Of
the most lovely Of the godesses.

The KinderEartrn Child.

With the closing of the summer months
and prospects Of cooler weather a de-
cided change must be made in the diets
of children. Little people must be able
to resist sudden changes in the weather
and have supplied for them the warmth
and energy necessary for activity In
cold weather. as well as the power to
resist disease. It is difficult for some
people to realize that the foundation Of
sound bones and teeth and good red
blood and flesh depend largely upon
proper food, good water and plenty Of
fresh air.
Even when physical tendencies point
to dangerous conditions it is possible to
set them aside by a wise and never fall
ing course in the daily life of the child.
Many children enter kindergarten at the
age Of three and one-half to four years,
which means the regulation Of their lit
tie lives to hours outside the home. No
child should never leave a house without
a proper breakfast supplied In time to
be eaten comfortably and under as cheer
full conditions as possible in a room to
which fresh air has been admitted.
The following breakfast menus are
adapted for kindergarten children and
cover also the general period from four
to eight years. during which time strong
second teeth must be provided for:

That the present day woman likes a

Is the stern belief OF Doris OIsson. the
Brooklyn girl. who Is the misleading
LADY, in William Harris, jr.'s, delightful
comedy, The Misleading Lady" at the
National this week.
I'm the first place think this subject
OF sex appeal Is grealy overrated and
overtalked about" she declares. Just

there will be sex appeal-without II, the

The natural desire Of the Young
woman is to please men, just as the sane,
normal desire of the young man Is to
please the other sex. Every woman II
an actress. some by profession, but all
by natural instinct. When she finds that
a man likes to see her fashionably
gowned she tries to dress Just as well
as she can. In the same way, when she
finds a certain trick Of the voice brings
an immediate effect, a certain expression
OF the eye or q particular gesture, she
uses these to allure. We are like chill

In the play the heroine says, If this
power Is wrong and not to be used, why

man downtown.
Find What They Look For.
Now. think men with their eternal
cry Of Indignation against the sex ap-
peal, like that OF Jack Craigen's in the
play, are a good deal like the man of
the story. They fnd what they are look
ing for. and they mistake the natural
desire Of a nice girl to attract for some
thing other than II is, because they have
allowed that idea TO obsess them, and in
nine cases out OF ten the sex appeal is
the answer to mans own demand.
The reason the misleading lady is not
at all overcome when the leading man
arraigns her in scathing terms for hav-
ing used slluring suggestions, the dainty
ankle that the skirt displays, the low
cut neck, the drapings that reveal her
graceful figure. is because she is con-
WINGED Of her own innocence. She dresses
prettily and becomingly as women al
ways have done. glorifying not shaming
the body whose beauty should elevate the
thoughts Of men, not debase them.
