Brides and bridesmaids, with the rest of womankind, are showing a preference for filmy fabrics. The bride often dispenses with the conventional white satin wedding gown and chooses one of lace or chiffon or if she be not inclined to depart from the conventional, inasmuch as her veil enshrouds her with misty material of some sort, her wants are allowed to take advantage of all the airy mate rials in making choice for her appar- cling.
 A hat, huff and ffehu designed for the maids at June wedding, bring into requisition three of the loveliest fabrics. The hat employs crepe georgette with the leghorn shape, the huff made of a leghorn plaque and chiffon and the pretty scarf or fichu is made of very fine net.
 This last item is one of those cc- cessories which may do duty long after it's initial parade, and will make

FRAME FOR THE SILHOUETTE
Best to Preserve Oid-Time Style for Wall Decorations-Hard to
 Improve Upon.

Should you possess an old sil- houette without a frame, and desire to properly preserve it under glass, do not make the mistake of putting a modern setting about it. Avoid clean, white mats and new-looking holding
 Preserve as much of the time-hon- ored yellow background as possible, and put an antique-looking oval or square frame of dull gilt about it, as frames of this kind are characteristic of the period when suhouettes were in vogue.
 Black frames are also in good taste, but do not give the look of antiquity so well simulated by the dull gilt.
 In treating the silhouette in any way it must be remembered that this form of art is old. and it's immediate en- vironment must be in keeping in order to preserve its charm

There is certain pretty primness about the Bobby coiffure, besides it's suggestive of youthfulness. to account for its ever-growing success. This particular style is developed in several ways but all of them are, first of all, neat. In them the hair seems to be carefully arranged and put in place to stay in place. One cannot imagine it blown about. It is, in fact, pinned down with many small pins and furth- CT confined with hair band of some sort This manner of dressing it helps the coiffure to fulfill what is required of it. Of course this quality of neat ness carries with it the impression of refinement.
 In this style the hair at the sides is either cut short or dressed in such a way as to appear "bobbed." It is said the hair is benefited by being cropped, if it is thin, so that those whcse locks are scanty may sacrifice some of tbem to the style without regret But where the hair is abul- 6ant this is not to be considered. The cleverness of the hairdresser must be relied upon to dispose of the extra length by curling under the ends. or by combing them out of the way and substituting some acquired short hair for them This is one of the styles in which long hair is more difficult to handle. than short hair. And it in- vites the use of extra pieces because they need only to be very light and are easily adjusted.
 In the picture given here the coiffure IS shown with the hair waved and part

Twenty carloads of zinc ore were shipped from this district during the month Of April, amounting to 600 tons, or 100000 pounds sterling. accord ing to figures just compiled by H. W. Willett, the pioneer ore buyer of the North Arkansas field.
 A conservative estimate of the cash value of last months zinc ore pro- duction is placed at S30,000 or s1,000 for each day in the month The re vailing price for high grade ora during the month was S65 a ton, ard $50 is taken as fair average per ton for the months output. Top grades are now worth S75.
 Heavier arrivals of ore thaB has yet been experienced is the rule at the railroad for shipment Numerous new enterprises have entered the list of active operators recently. The Red Cloud mine recently bought at public sale for S66,000, has passed to the con- trol of Oklahoma operators, who are starting work This mine has a 200 ton mill and a tunnel 1000 feet into the mountain. from the headings of which the mill is plentifu!ly supplied.
 The daily arrival of practical mine operators from other fields inquiring for property testify the interest which the Arkansas field is creating abroad. The little town of Rush, where the greatest activity is manifest, presents the air of real mining boom town. The fifty or more houses, cabins and shacks are occupied by families of men who are working either for wages or operating in a small way on ,Aeir own account. Not less than 25 tents in the same camp are occupied, while almost daily arrivals of newcomers are camping in wagons and under brush arbors.

Little Rock.

Little Rock
 Every effort will be made to thwart the efforts of the Iron Mountain. Rock Island and other railroads, which are asking an injunction from the federal court against the two-cent passenger rate. according to members of the Arkansas Railroad Commission
 When the cases come up at St. Paul we shall ask the court to give us an extension of time to prepare ad- ditional data" Commissioner W. F. Mcknight. a member, said. If the extension Is refused We shall attempt to have the court grant the injunction on the subsidiary lines only, leaving the two-cent rate in effect on the main lines. We shall fight these cases and the freight cases to the end. The tariffs put into effect on the Frisco and the Kansas City Southern are without reason both as to rates and methods. No through shipments are made at through rates and this results iR many cases. A shipment from Little Rock to DeQueen goes at short haul rates over each line that handles it, instead of at a through rate for the full distance. This makes an increase of 115 per cent
 It is probable that J. P. Streepey, assistant to Attorney General ". L.. Moose. will represent the state at the hearings in St Paul May 2S Judge Joseph Nj. Hill Of Fort Smith. who was chief attorney for the state in the rate litigation several years ago, has declined to take active part in the case.

No fertilizer tax money has been re- eeived at the state treasury since May 5. The total amount received during the first three days of May was s1S750. Officials gay the decline is partially due to the rush of the fer tdlizer season being ended and partly to the fact that no inspection of fer tilizer is being made because of the failure of the legislature to appropriate for the salaries and expenses of ul- spectors. The amount received since January is approximately s1,5OO less than during the corresponding period last year.

Justice Vandevanter of Washington Arkansas Supreme Court to send to the Supreme Court for review the case in which Caldwell 6s Drake, con tractors for constructing a new capitol at Little Rock, sued state off clals for damages in being deprived of possession of the uncompleted building in 1909
 The contractors assert the Patter- son and Oldham laws. by which new contractors were authorized, are un- constitutional
 The controversy between Caldwell X Drake and former state officials. dates back to 1905, although the suit for S250,000, in which the writ of CT TOT was granted was not instituted until 1909 The defendants are George W. Donaghey former governor; John l. Moore of Helena, Charles L. Thomp- son and H. L. Remmel of Little Rock and R. r.
