Hoop Skirts Make Reappearance---
Ruff|eS and Fri||S

Edges bound in contrasting color
or in self folds are liked. and every
sort OF pointed and scalloped and
battlemented edge is made use Of
by the designers
ACCORDION PLATING STYLISH.
Accordion plating, though not
SO perfectly in line with the trend
of skirt modes as the more bouffant
frills and flounces. is much used for
more conservative effects and offers
a graceful way of attaining grea,
skirt length without an aggressive
spread An accordion plated skirt
with some sort OF shallow hip yoke
and so cut that il does not swing
out little toward the bottom is
good in any heavy crepe or soft
heavy silk. and in white such d
separate skirt is useful thing for
wear with net, crepe Georgette and
other sheer blouses. or il may be
combined with a simple corsage of
the same material.
A very attractive little frock OF
this type in sand-colored crepe shows
novel handling of the wide accord
ion plated crepe. which is caught
up just a little at each side to give
a suggestion of drapery. The ar
rangement is graceful without bulki-
ness. and the simple bodice which
accompanies the skirt is good too,
receiving individuality without fus-
cred in gay color on both bodice
and girdle. The very long tassel
attached to the girdle repeats the
color in the flowers.
TAFFETAS POPULAR
Cross bar, check and fine stripe
designs in soft taffeta are increas-
ingly popular and are smartest when
made up with great simplicity, but
with extreme modishness of outline.
\ cool, pretty frock of cream tat
feta. cross barred in fine lines Of
bright yellow had an inverted '
vest of sheer white organdy, a wide,
flat round collar of organdy and
wide flaring bands of organdy at
the bottom of the short bell sleeves.
The skirt was extremely wide and
untrimmed but showed a narrow
frill of white organdy on a compar-
atively narrow underskirt below the
spreading flare Of silk.
We shall see more of the flat col
lars as the summer comes on. They
are far easier to keep fresh and
interrupted than any of the high
all around or high back and low
front collars, though those high back
collars are far kinder to the woman
who hasn't a pretty neck.
They harmonic we'll with the sim
pie sort of frock in attractive ma
terial which is particularly liked for
some purposes this season, and
there is something tremendously eff
fectiye about such an unpretentious
model-a crepe de chine of beauti-
full quality and exquisite rose color.
which has no trimmings save tucks,
a flat collar of sheerest white or
CANDY narrowly hemmed, and a soft,
narrow 2irdle of deep rose satin. The
skirt is full enough and flares enough
for modishness, and the frock at
tains cachet that many more pre-
tentious ones fail to achieve.
The crepes have to considerable
extent given way to taffeta. yet they
are used for many of the most at
tractive frocks, especially those of
the less extreme sort, the softness
of the crepe allowing width without
the great flare TO which taffeta
tends
OF course, this matter of flare de
ponds greatly upon cut and hand
ling, and even taffeta, despite the
crispness that turks in the softest

Ben Greet Players.

The Ben Greet Woodland
Players are coming to Natchitoches
on Monday, April 26.
In answer to many who may ask
"Who IS Ben Greet?", we hasten
to say that he is the originator Of
that delightful form of summer
amusement known as open air
plays which have proven o
popular during the past decade.
A rare treat awaits these who
have never witnessed an out
ot-door performance of The
Twelfth Night when the Ben
Greet Woodland Players will
appear in at at the State Normal
School.
Being the originator of out-of-
door plays. Mr.. Greet has always
taken the utmost pride in keeping
his company at the head of the
list of those giving similar pro-
auctions. Never at any time since
their first great success in Every
man., quite twelve years ago,
have the Ben Greet Woodland
Players been more enthusiastically
received everywhere, nor their
work more favorably spoken of
than during the present summer.
The Normal Lyceum Committee
was particularly fortunate in being
able to arrange for a performance
by this capable company O f
players.
The entertainment is open to
public as we'll as the students.
Seats are on sale at the Natchito-
ches Drug Co. at $1.OO each.

! A Western editor. Ramsey, o.
The Missouri and Kansas Farmer,
came to Louisiana South West
louisiana, and, looked over the
fields; He came and went quietly,
ard this is Whit he wrote when he
returned home:
!''There is no place within the
United States where the climate
lis more pleasant, where the people
are more congenial, where it is
easier to make a living, where the
returns are greater for the labor
expenced, or where one can live
more like the ideal characters of
fiction than in Louisiana. There
romance prevades the atmosphere
and every bayou and lake and
forest holds a poem.
The greatest growing crops
that ] ever saw were in Louisiana
last June and July. / have seen
Iowa, Illinois, Kansas and Missouri
at their best, but never did any of
these states produce such crops as
I saw in Louisiana.

story, had he come to Natchito-
chcs and the Cane River Valley

Where cotton, corn, rice, in fact
all the agricultural products known
or grown in the United States, are
susceptible of producti on. Fruits
of all kinds attain high perfection,
and we have a never ending season
for vegetables; our gardens yielding
in ats seasons all kinds of and
qualities known to the kitchen

fusion.

field of locusts and caterpillars.
These tablets have recently beer
deciphered at the University Of

are of present day interest. One
especially so reports the construc-

the waterway which gave Nippur
