Delaware Peach and which is really just what it's name implies. The skirt is in six gores, cut well up to the bust line and it is trimmed with garland of chiffon roses and green leaves arranged in scallops at the depth of a wide hem. The bodies consists of very wide straight girdle of velvet, over which similar garlan1 is arranged and bands of lace drawn across the bust close up over the shoulders and over them a .drapery of soft silk net that ends in little rosette-like frills at the shoulders, leaving the arms entirely exposed.. yet draping the figure beneath in. most attractive manner. The skirt is five inches from the floor as ar, most of those designed for such uses, and worn with it was seen thin silk hosiery in an exactly matching shade. while the slippers were of silver cloth.
 Short skirts are fashionable, and thev really are necessary for the dance and are exceedingly comfortable for street wear. Flarinc skirts too, ,ls'i- ally are accompanied by the curtailei length, but let us devoutly hope that the present mania for exaggerated shortness will sound it's own doom, and that very pretty fashion will not be so completely travesticd as tc render it impossible for those of good taste. Unfortunatelv. there is cer- tain type of American woman who seems always to think that if little is good. more is better, and who cnts her skirts shorter than the regulation ones when they are worn short, an1 tighter than good taste calls for when they are worn tight and it is that type of woman who spells much that is good and who robs us in many ways. The five inch length is a goo1 one, but too short skirt is awkward. nngainly and ugly, to leave out any questions that might border upon modestv and seem to suggest moral idea. We need beauty in dress as well as in everything else in life and it is a thousand pities that the good is so often destroyed by exaggeration.
 The basque in its latest form ex- tends to or a little below the waist-line. An interesting cost,sne and one that affords q marked contrast to the gown just described shows that feature and several others that lately have ap- peared and it is so completely sug- pestive of modification of the 1S3o idea for which w may look throughout the Spring and Summer. that it is of especial interest, The material is blue gros-grain silk, fabric that ha, returned to favor with the demand created by the style to which it l.. especially adapted. The color is a dark exquisite blue known by the rame of Rocky Mountain. It is much more brilliant and much brighter than Navy yet quiet in tone. The bodice cf the gown extends just to the waist line and is cut with deep V-shaped neck and the opening of the neck is filed with much-ruff1ed vestee which is finished just little below the .rll..r line The front o! the loo lie.

OLD PINE BLUFF
 FIRM TO THE WALL
A. D. Foster Made Receiver for the Puddephatt Furni-
 ture Company.

A. D. Foster, cashier of the Mer- chants & Planters bank, was appoint ed yesterday by Chancellor J. M. FL liott as receiver for the Puddephatt Furniture company. The action was taken upon the petition of William Puddephatt, president, and c. il. Puddephatt, secretary, of the furniture company, whose stockholders voted on Friday to dissolve. Mir. Fosters bond was fixed at $10.O0O, which he promptly furnished. The liabilities and assets are not mentioned in the petition.
 The failure is attributed to the in- ability of the firm to collect outstand- ing accounts. the recent failure of the Bank of Pine Bluff and difficulties en- countered in the wholesale furniture trade during recent months.
 The Pu1dephatt company was one of the oldest business houses in the state, having been organized in 1889, and incorporated in 1905. It was one of three exclusive wholesale furniture houses in Arkansas, and had trade that extended throughout Arkansas and Louisiana and into Mississippi The company was great factor in advertising Pine Bluff as manufac- turing and commercial center, as we'll as in the development of the city.
 The principal stockholders are Wm and Chas. H. Puddephatt. Others in- terested in the company are T. L. Davis, w. B. Hopkins. w. H. Scherick, E. J. dickson, A. P. Feine, J. w. Sanders. Miss Mark Parks. A. M. Scherick. w. H. Roane, W. l.. Toney, Jeff Hicks, Walter Hudson. R. H. Stearns. Mrs. Elizabeth P. Dowell and Henry Marx.

 At the time the bill was passed the license petition was pending before County Judge Joe Asher. He granted the petition and then the clerks of the county clerks office began to make the fur fly in getting out lic- enses before the bill was signed. He granted all but three applications be- fore the time was up, and Little Rock will have saloons again this year unless the ten-mile act Is passed, which is improbable, for the senate passed the INewberry bill ex- pecting that no opposition would be made to saloons during the present year.

 Special Bin for Capital
 Governor Hays appealed to Repre- sentative Shaver of Jackson county, one of the prohibition leaders, for his interpretation of the intentions of the general assembly in the pas sage of the bill, and if it's members would sanction delay in order that Pine Bluff might get saloons. Rep resentative Shaver replied that a ten-mile act was going to be passed to shut out Little Rock, and Repre- sentative Shoffner of PulsSki
 ed that he was against saloons, which made money but lost souls.
 Governor Hays then remarked that he had been the victim of scurrilous attacks in press and in other man. ner since he had asked the legislat- ure to pass the statutory prohibition bill, resembling his former message in which he asked for submission. He charged that deliberate attempt had been made to ruin him political Nv as we'll as in other ways.
