Tho art of prevarication, vulgarly known as lying, when once well is q most difficult ac- complishment to drop.
 It was so that a young fellow who was pushed into a business, to keep him ont of mischief had found it.
 His employer had also found it out, and he was severely admonish- ing him as to the evils that result cd from such wickedness as lying.

KIRBY SUCCEEDS JAMES ?. CLARKE

Little Rock, Oct. 7.-The demo- terday afternoon nominated Asso ciate Justice w. F. Kirby for the office of United States senator toI succeed the late Senator James P. Clarke, to run in the general cleo , tion on Nov. z.
 Within an hour after the adjourn ment of the committee, Gov. Hays issued proclamation calling spe- cial election on Nov. T for the pur- pose of filling the vacancy. He thereby declared that the action of the committee was satisfactory toI him.
 At a meeting of the republican state central committee at 2 o'clock, | F. l.. Remmel was nominated for U. s. senator, to be certified out for the November election.
 Three names were placed in nomination before the democratici committee after two hours of spar ring for an opening. It seemed that all were of the same mind to protect the interests of the party, but there was a great divergence of opinion as to the method of proce- dure.
 Patrick Henry of Monticello nom mated w. F. Kirby. D. Ward Dun 1 lap of ClarksVille nominatde c. c. ! Reid w. B. Smith, as proxy for Dave Block Of Wynne, nominated s. Brundidge of Searcy. The first and decisive ballot resulted as fol- lows:
 Kirby-W. M. Garden of Malvern, J. D. Head of Texarkana, Patrick Henry of Monticello, J. K. Maho- | ney of Fl Dorado, z. M. McCarroll of Walnut Ridge, John H. McMil- Ian of Philadelphia, J. w. Nance of Bentonvillc, Ira D. Ogleshy jr. of Fort Smith, c. o. Payne of Con- way, R. R. Rice ST. of Warner, J. G. Sain of Nashville, Thomas F. Toler of Sheridan, J. R. Wilson of Warren, June P Wooten of Little Rock, c. c. Calvert of Fort Smith Total 15.
 Reid-R. T. Compton of Wing, D. w. Dunlap of Clarksville, A. H. Tribble of Hot Springs, J. s. Fur ner of Ozark, J. V. Walker of Fay etteville Total 5.
 Brundidge- Dalton of Poca- hontas, Dave Block of Wynne, Roy Milan of Harrison, s. P. Turner of Hardy, J. H. Hawthorne of Jones' boro, J. s. Yarnell of Searcy, J. w. House Jr. of Little Rock-Total '.
 The nomination then -dcclar- ed unanimous.
 There was much argument, legal opinion, resolution and counter res oIution before the committee could agree upon it's course. And much of what was said and done proved to be of little direct application such power specifically, and exist ing statutes are not broad enough to confer the authority. He as serted that the senate will require an election before any one is seat ed, and will seat any person who receives the highest number of votes at special election regular Iy called by the governor as the law provides. He gave his opinion that the committee might select a nominee or refer the selection to a primary.

There is perhaps nothing so ut- terly distasteful to a happily mar ried woman as for some uncompre- hending outsider to belittle her husband. To have a well-meaning relative like Beth Woodford say, "Oh, my dear, David is not worthy of you; you're misunderstood and unappreciated,' was bad enough Cora could and did resent that, and have it over with.
 But when Steve Manx, district leader. began an attempt to make friends by employing the same tac- tics it seemed to Cora she simply couldn't endure it. For to affront Steve Manx was to ruin David's chances of professional success.
 The Temples had let themselves in for it." It was too late now to cavil at the crowd they had elected to run with in order to get busi- ness start. When ManX began, thefore. to tell Cora what a It. tie queen" she was and how she put it all over the other women for class" she took refuge in merri- ment, though she felt none.

Few women realize how well they look in black. In the minds of many people black is associated only with death or old age. They cannot be brought to con- sider either the beauty or utility of this color. Many times we never realize that a person is good-looking until she puts on mourning. I do not advocate mourn ing The convention of heavy black worn for a long period of time is happily I do insist, however, that most women look their very best in black. The distinguished looking woman Is generally seen in black, and when re- lieved with touches of white it cannot fail to be universally becoming. Even in a crowd of frocks of every hue in the rainbow, the black gown stands out with insistent emphasis, and the woman or even young girl to whom this color is stril1ingly becoming should make the most of her opportunity for wearing it. The vivid coloring of youth is frequently best displayed in contrast with black, and to the woman whose figure is be- ginning to mature into fuller lines. black brings a look of slenderness which no other color can impart

JAPANESE SCHOLAR RECALLS STUDENT
 DAYS OF WILSON
Tells of Incident in Which President-to-Be Supported Him in a Supposed
 Laughable Mistake

Tokio. December 1.-(Corresponden of the Associated Press. )-The re-elec- tion of President Wilson has caused
 Dr. Inazo Nitobe of the Imperial uni versity to write some "reminiscences of the days when he and AIr. Wilson were fellow students in the graduate depart ment of political and economic science in Johns Hopkins university.
 MT Wilson showed even then that
 he was man apart" said Dr. Nitobe.
 "When he went to Johns Hopkins he
 specialized in political economy. He
 was about 2S years of age, four years
 older than I and older than most of
 his class. His demeanor was always gentlemanfy and dignified and he al-
 ways impressed us by his maturity. In
 our seminars the students would often turn to him on debated question and ask What about it. Wilson?"
 Dr. Nitobe recalled that President Wilson was great admirer of Bage- hot. the English essayist, and that when he wrote his Congressional Gov ernment" he had in mind Bagehot's
 phrase, Parliamentary Government" or governments in which the executive work is strongly influenced by com mittees of the legislature MT. Wilson often read papers In the seminars which later appeared in his book and which caused him to be widely known.
 "On one occasion" explained Profes- sor Nitobe, "our professor gave me i Aristotle's Politics, the main points of which I was to tabulate. When I came to Aristotle's reference to milk as an essential in the proper nourish-
 ment of the young I was in a quan- diary whether or not I should put it down. l did so but was somewhat cha grined when my fellow students 1 laughed at my including milk as one of the essential points or Aristotles educational scheme. Wilson. however, took it most seriously and I remember that I was greatly comforted by see- ing him copy my tabulation with great care. And in a book called The State,' which Mr. Wilson wrote later and which has been translated into Jap- anese, l was very happy to discover that he gave a resume of Aristotle's political doctrines and that the points which he brought out were almost identical with the tabulation which had
 caused the other men to laugh.'

BLACK EVENING GOWN

A black evening gown is certainly to be recommended to the woman who must
 consider economy, and the woman in this
 position should be consoled once she realizes how becoming such a frock may be. The gown sketched is made pri- marily of charmeuse and net. Both char mouse and meteor dye beautifully, though sometimes it is difficult to match dyed black with new black, unless the dyeing
 has been expertly handled. Even in the hands of experts the difficulty now en- countered in obtaining good dye makes 1t hard to get good color Generally speak ing, however, a good quality of char mouse or meteor when dyed black Is likely to be pretty successful job. In the gown in the sketch the old dress ot charmeuse is used for a bias girdie and to form an apron like panel back and front. The waist is built on a thick

white foundation. A fold of indestruct- ibe white net is laid around the bust. The shoulder straps consist of black beads These beads should be reinforced over the shoulder with black linen tape or ribbon sufficiently narrow to be hid den by the beads. This tape furnishes a shoulder strap to be relied upon. Above the bias girdle back and front is laid a soft fold of brilliant cerse charmeuse. This color against the black and white is stunning The bias girdle is drawn around the figure, fitted under one arm and fastened under the other. While the effect is not skin tight it outlines the figure. The full ruffles of net are fastened to drop skirt of thin black silk, and the long apron finished in a point back and front completes a gown which for artistic effect could with diff ficulty be rivaled.
 VICTORIAN BROCK
 Fashions may come and fashions may go but the early Victorian is one type of gown which seems still to do homage to the queen whose girlish loveliness graced the style and whose maturer years crowned throne with memories of peace and prosperity for which her unhappy country must sigh today.
 The illustration shows a simple method of widening a narrow skirt. The basque Is made over boned lining and is cut from pieces of blouse of old blue taf- feta. The short puff sleeves are also made of this material. A band of silver ribbon outlines the neck and sleeves, while two rows of red rambler roses make attractive shoulder straps The pointed basque is bound with it's own material. The straight full overskirt is made of blue net The edge Is finished with silver lace about four inches deer and a band of silver ribbon breaks the line about half way to the waist This is finished back and front with small tail orsd bow.
 This gown would be lovely in pink, blue, or lavender, or even yellow with gold lace and gold ribbon. Its simplicity, both ir appearance and ease of making, should appeal to everybody.
