The Raymer enterprise., 1916-12-21

From head to foot the dainty wom-
an likes to have all her belongings ex-
press refinement. Whether her taste
be grave or gay (and 1t Is sure to be
both) she strives to make her love Of
beauty and her personality apparent
In everything she wears. Her sense
Of fitness, and her disposition, may
cause her to appear on the street In
the most reserved Of tallor-mades, but
within her own four walls look for
gayetles that blossom at their prettiest
In her own room.
Such Aowerlike things as are pic
tured here flourish In the garden Of
the boudoir, among other pretty lux
uries that every woman loves. They
are easily made and may match the
negligee or be selected to harmonize
with It. Light tints look well with
white and almost any color.
The set Of slippers with garters to
match, as pictured, will look well with
any color, which makes them a safe
choice as gift. The toe slippers are
made of lambs wool soles covered with
light pink satin. A fiat elastic band,
covered with pink satin ribbon shirred
over 1t, makes loop that Is attached
% the back Of the sole and holds the
slipper to the foot. The satin that
forms the toe Is covered with light
lace having the pattern run with silver
thread. Three small, fiat rosettes of
satin ribbon are mounted on the toe.
They are Joined by ribbon and look
ike flowers.
The gartors are made OF elastic

The state inheritance tax should b.
administered by the State Tax Com
mission instead Of by the state attor

dalton contained in a report sub

governor and the state treasurer. Ii
support OF the recommendation thu
commission contends that It's member
would be able to acquire much valu

Not New but a Little Different.

The French silk and velvet corsage
flowers which have been used for a
couple Of seasons. done up in minia-

same or even daintier boxes with rib

Il difference in the flowers. The heart

cultivator without breaking down the
stalks. II the condition of the soil de-
mands 1t, shallow cultivation should
continue, even though the corn is tas-
selling. A small implement with sew
eral narrow blades and short single
tree may often be used for maintain
ing soil mulch after the corn is too
tall for the use of double cultivators.
Some forms of the one-horse cultivator
are especially adapted to cutting Off
weeds. Blocks nailed on the handles
Of the implement will protect the
hands from the corn blades.
1t is sometimes profitable to remove
weeds even by the costly process of
hand hoeing, and at as late date as
the silking time of the corn.
Walking Double cultivator.
With good riding or walking dou-
BILE eultivator one man can cultivate
as many acres as two men with one
horse cultivators, and with the most
improved types he can accomplish the
work more easily and fully as well.
Because of this saving of labor, double
cultlyators should be used wherever
practicable. Two-row cultivators
equipped with four gangs Of shovels
and drawn by three horses are meet
Ing with favor In the central prairie
states. AS one Of these completes the
cultivation of two rows of corn each
time is crosses the field, one man can
cultivate 10 acres per day. In many
sections II Is often difficult to obtain
lab0rers when they are needed and, as
with these two-row cultivat0rs one
man can cultivate as many acres as
two men with One-row two-horse eul-
tlvators. their use is likely to increase,
especially in comparatively level sec
tions free from stumps and rocks
where corn is planted by means of
two-row planters. Some forms OF these
two-row cultivators are mounted on
two wheels, like two-horse double cul-
tivators, while others made for plow-
ing listed corn are carried on runners
or low, broad Wheels designed so as to
follow the rows made by the lister.
Three-row cultiyators of this type are
used to some extent on large fields
free from obstructions. Very stumpy
land or tall corn may neeessitate the
use Of one-horse culivators.
Shovels for cultivators.
The kinds OF shovels with which II
is best to equip either single or double
cultivators must be determined by the
character of the soil, size of the corn,
and the size and nature of growth of
the weeds TO be destroyed. Without
exception, any form of shovel found
to do good work on a one-horse culti-
vator can he attached to n double or
two-row cultivator. In some cases the
surface cultlvator does better work
than the disk cultivator which may
leave narrow strips of solid soil that
are not covered with fine, loose soil.
All forms Of shovels should be so ad-
justed that the lOosened soil will make
a fine and even covering for the harder
soil beneath. Shoyels sometimes may
be modified at the farm blacksmith
shop for special nse on riverbottom
land. where bindweed, man-of-the-
earth. and other vines and weeds are
hard to control, Sharp horizontal
blades at the bottom of shovels strike
the weeds squarely. so that there is
little chance for them to escape by
slipping by either side. as is so COM
mon with ordinary shovels.

Ordinary Furs Disguised.

II Is not the fur that counts, say the
couturiers, this season. II Is the fin
lsh, the way the fur Is dyed and
treated that renders 1t smart. And so
consistently is this idea carried out
that 1t is difficult to recognize we'll
known varieties, according to Vogue.
Rabbit masquerades under all sorts
and some OF the furs with long hair
are dyed and figured as strange new
furs. Squirrel is dipped in dye and
energies as a new sort of chinchilla
or as some hitherto unheard-of fur
from that land Of strange furbearing
animals-Russia. The flreslde cat In

A flounce of the silver-rnn lace falls
from the covered band and helps make
a lovely background for three rosettes
like those on the slippers. Such an
enticing bit of adornment is within the

Kennedy.Mann Wedding Is Brilliant Social Event,

A green and white wedding, typical of the season, and beautiful in every detail in which the setting was prepar- ed. was the ceremony at noon yester- day, at Trinity Episcopal church, when Miss Ethel Houston Mann be- came the bride of William Holder Kennedy.
 The ceremony was said by Rev. H.. A. stowell, rector of the church, and there was present large gathering of the friends of the happy young people and of the families of which the principals are such popular and well beloved members.
 The church had been transformed into a floral bower of beauty for the ceremony, and the colors of spring, and of June, were omnipresent. The motif was green and white, however, and this was carried out in the most minute detail. Masses of sweet peas in bowls had been placed in each of the windows, and these reflected beautifully the soft shade of the sun- light through the stained glass. A trallis of vines was placed on either side of the altar, palms and ferns
 
 graceful, nodding brides roses, peo- nies and sweet peas, love knots and streamers of delicate white tulle add ing to the pretty surroundings,
 With Mrs. E. w. Bocage at the or gan, the arrival of the bridal party was announced with the prenuptial solo by Dolph Kastor. For You Alone" The strains of Mendels- sohn's wedding march burst sweetly upon the air, as the wedding process sion entered, the ushers, Allen Orto and J. Hervey Mann, Jr., preceding the groomsmen, Sam w. Trimble and Richard Allen of Little Rock. Then came the maid of honor, Miss Mar garet Fox, followed by the bride, with her father The groom, accompa- nied by his best man, John w. Harris of Memphis, entered from the vestry room, and the solemn, simple ring service was said by Dr. Stowell, while the soft, alluring strains of Ruben stein's Like Unto a Flower" en- tranced the ear as the eye was glad dened by the quiet beauty of the ceremony. The semi-martial, victori- ous tones of the "Recessional' from ;Wagner's "Lohengrin" pealed froll the organ as the bridal party left the church, bride and groom to enter a waiting automobile in which they were driven to Little Rock, there to take train for Memphis, Norfolk, Va, and other points in the North and East for their honeymoon.
 Happy the bride the sun shines on," and yesterdays bride was thrice happy, the day being ideal, her loved ones present, and friends without number gathering to wish her all happiness. Miss Mann was most beautiful bride, in her tailored cos tune of white taffeta, with white kid boots and white hat, and she carried shower boquet of lilies of the val ley and sweet peas that marked clear ly her blonde beauty. The maid of honor, Miss Margaret Fox. 4typified the gladstone June, in her handsome gown of silver green taffetal and, tulle,' with bodice of silver lace, and garden hat of pink sweet peas and peonies, which she carried.
 The bride is the younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Hervey Mann. ST., and one of Pine Bluffs most popular and-wel! beloved girls. She was rear ed here, and was a member of the graduating class of 1913 at the high
