A coiffure which is beautiful from any point of view is not met with ev- cry day Here is one which is exquis- ite from whatever side you look upon it. It convinces one that there is nothing quite so pretty as curls. and should prove that the classic lines, which it follows closely, have never been improved upon.
 The hair for this coiffure is waved and parted at the left side The short hair about the forehead and temples is curled into very short ringlets The back hair is brought to the top of the crown and coiled in a loose soft coil. The waved front hair is brought back to the coil and pinned to it, leaving the ends free These ends are sepa. rated into strands and curled in short tight curls They are pinned close to the head about the coil.

WELL KNOWN CITIZEN
 SHOT HIMSELF SUNDAY
HARRY HOLMES, BECOMING DE. SPONCENT OVER FINANCIAL
 REVERSES ENDS HIS LIFE.

Becoming Respondent over business reyerses, Harry Holmes, wei known resident of this city, killed himself Sunday afternoon near Hughes Villa, a few miles east of the city. In years gone by Holmes was a very prominent figure in local affairs, having served as alderman, and was also large property owner, At one time he was considered veal they but investments he made, com bined with the fact that much of his property was swept away in the first big fire in this city, resulted in finan- cial loss and of late years he was said to possess little or no means. For some time past Holmes has been liv- ing on property owned by Judge Les. lie, which is located east of the city.
 In his former prosperous days, Holmes had host of friends in Hot Springs. He made considerable money here and was progressive and public spirited to a marked degree. He took a prominent interest in the city and county politics and was prominently identified with a number of public improvements here.
 A son, Stewart Holmes, who lives at Mattoon, Ill.,, has been notified of the death of his father, and will ar rive in the city tomorrow to take charge of the remains.
 The funeral arrangements have not been made as yet. Arrangements are being made however, to take the re- mains to Mattoon, where funeral and interment will be held.

Covert cloths, shepherd's-checked and striped suitings seem to be divid- ing honors in tailored suits for spring. It is hard to say which is most fa- vored. All of them are developed in many smartly cut and perfectly tail ored plain suits that are far and away the most elegant of all street dresses.
 Some of the new models are what may be called severely plain, allowing themselves only machine stitching and buttons by way of garniture and finishing touches. Buttons this sea. son are made of the fabric of the gar ment in many elegant suits, but in unusual shapes. In an equal number of designs they arc selected from the various composition, bone or pearl de- signs. But severe lines and finishing do not characterize all the new spring tailormades.
 The coatsuit shown in the picture belongs to the plain well-tailored class that should be found in every womans g wardrobe. It is just right for the bust ness woman, the traveller. or for street wear where one finds need for only one new tailored costume.
