' ' ERE in old Gotham, designers, dressnaakers F and tailors are busy making ready tha costumes that are to go South and West. we are getting exceedingly interesting ghmps,' and it is comparatively easy to draw lnterenc,: as to what will be accepted with the con'!n, oi Spring. That the February openings in Paris will have their influence is of course true, but as has Leen frequently stated there seems to be sort closely upon tclepathy in the world o design and what is being worn and what is being prepared for Palm Beach and California may safely be taken ls an index os what is to come. #
 An iten, of especial interest is the width oi the ekirt for we have gone somewhat suddenly to the faring silhouette from the narrow one and h not a few instances there has been seen an extreme that is far from good and beautiful and tar iron wise. The best tailors and the best dresslrak'ri are advocating medium width to. the street cos tunes and reports from the openings ot the h,,s hotels at Palm Beach assert that the very Wlde skirt is not noted on tailored garments, but E reserved for evening and for the lingerie gowns. Empire effects are conspicuous. skirts are very short and there is very notable tendency towarl the use of pockets, not alone foF nrosac service. but as a means of trimming.

REGULATION FOR
 "JlINEY" AUTOS Council Will Tackle Problem of Regulating Cars at
 Next Meeting
PROBABLY RAISE TAX
With Four Lines in Operation and Others to Start Soon, City Fathers Realize Time to Act Has
 Arrived.

Indications are that the city coun- cil, at it's next meeting, will adopt and put into effect regulations governing the operation of "jitney" autos here, because there are several such cars now being operated, with four or five more to start operations within the next few days
 The 'jtney" cars have been in Pine Bluff about a week. starting with one car, and there being four now in constant service, reaching into the four sections of the city. The cars to be put into service next week will ii crease the territory covered. and will reach the cross streets not now covered. They will reach also sections of the city which are several blocks removed from street cs4i lines.
 Members of the city council ex- pect that an ordinance fixing a lic- ense to be paid by each "jitney" car and making rules and regulations to cover the operation of the cats will be presented and adopted under a suspension of the rules at the next meeting, to be held Monday night next At present, 'jitney" cars are paying license as taxicabs or hacks, and it is proposed they should be made to pay a higher license. Some Of the regulations proposed will like ly interfere considerably with the continued operations of the "jitney" cars are they are being run now.
 A "jitney" car exclusively fo.' negroes was placed in operation here yesterday, driven by a negro chauf' feur, and so far as is known, it is the first car to be operated in this country exclusively for members of the colored race.

Patrick answered.:
MY wolfe is very sick and the
children are not we'll, and, if you
didn't moind, she would loike to have
me home for a few weeks to give her
bit ov assistance"
The colonel eyed him for few
minutes, and said:
Patrick, i might grant your re-
quest, but got a letter from your
wife this morninc saying she didn't
want you home-that you were
nuisance whenever you were there.
She hopes won't let You have any

The Tax Dodger

The biggest graft OF any is tax
lodging. A writer i'm Pearson's mag
azine has been making n study of the
tax problem in Cook county, Illinois.
Chicago is in this county and the
way some of the millionaires have
lodged taxes there is enough to cause
something to happen. 1t is estimated
that tax dodgers have escaped paying
1900. 600, 900 there in ten years. Who
paid this tax? The little fellows of
course. The very people who can
least afford to do so are paying the
bulk of taxes in our country. This
makes rents higher, it makes gro
ceries and meats higher, it makes
clothing higher. You may ask how
this is. II the man who owns the
houses and store buildings has to pay
more tax he will ask more rent and
store buildings and houses cannot
we'll escape taxation The owner
having to pay more taxes will ask
higher rent and this means higher
prices for all we buy. The consumer
always pays the tax in the end
Among the big tax dodgers in
Chicago are the McCOrmicks, the
Pullman Co., the Marshall Field Co.,
the Deerings, Sears Roebuck Il Co,
and the Letters. The tax dodger
taxes us all; he should be caught

FEMININE BEAUTY.
Maturity Has . Charm Greater Than
That Of "Swset Sixteen"

Maturity Has q Charm Greater Than
That Of "Swsst Sixteen"
There is beauty quite apart from
youth-the beauty of the mature wo
man. Some there are who maintain
that beauty does not reach the zenith
under the age Of thirty five or forty.
In measure this is borne out by the
events Of the antique past. which may
likewise be parallel with instances Of
our own day.
Helen Of Troy appeared on the scene
Mt the age of forty. Cleopatra was past
thirty when she met Antony. Aspasia.
married to Pericles when she was thir-
ty-six. was a figure brilliant in her
world for thirty years after. When
Diane de Poitiers was past thirty-s
she won the heart Of Henry H., and he
was but half her age.
Anne Of Austria was thirty eight
when described as the most beautiful
woman of Europe. Mile. Mar was her
I aided ~ the greatest Of beauties al

and fifty. Nine. de MaintenOn wns

when she took her seat on the throne
