For the bell-shaped sleeves you will cut off on the line marked No. in the Cutting Diagram ard which is a per forated line in the pattern. You will cut the blouse itself full length if you desire the peplum. If you do not want the peplum, you can cut of on the line marked No. 4, or the perforated line that indicates the waist line. The cuffs and the over-portions will be omitted with the bell-shaped sleeves.
 Whatever the material you will get the best and the daintiest as we'll as the most fashionable result if you do most of the work by hand. The edge of the collar and the edges of the sleeves can Ire sewed in various ways. There is a very marked tendency toward the use of all forms of needle work, for fancy stitchery as well as the actual embroidery and it would be pretty to hold these tucks and to finish the collar and the sleeves with French knots worked in succession or with beads sewed on at small intervals or with feather stitching or briar stitch ing or to use simple running stitch taken with heavy floss threaded through a coarse needle. This rum ming stitch is exceedingly fashionable and it allows of very attractive color effects and it is the simplest work in the world to do, simply taking the stitches evenly and letting the spaces between be small.
 The front edges are finished with hems in place of with the box plait that often is used and the hems can be arranged as are the tucks or they can be simply hemmed into place with nearly invisible stitches, but the fancy stitchery that holds the tucks will. perhaps, give the better result.
 As the first step, turn these edges under and sew them, then join the under-arm seams, taking the double or French seams that have been de- scribed so often. On very thin ma terial sew by hand, but if you are using a heavier one these seams all can be stitched by machine to give greater strength. After the under-arm seams are joined, form the tu1ks and as they extend from the front to the back they must go in continuous lines. Simply bring the corresponding circles to- gether, haste them carefully and then sew in whichever method you have chosen.
 As the next step, gather the front e the aAuada eda9a between the

STREET PAVING PLANT
 NOW OWNED BY CITY
Apparatus Arrives and Will Be Housed In Shelter to Be Erected at Once
 on Leased Ground.

The city of Pine Bluff today is the proud possessor of an asphalt pave ment repair plant, absolutely new, just from the factory, and of a valuation of something over $4,O00.
 The plant has already arrived, and within the next two or three days is to be housed in shelter to be con- structed on strip of land owned by the Cotton Belt railroad, in the west CT mend of the city, and lease of which land was approved last night by the city council which instructed the board of public affairs to sign the papers. The Cotton Belt has agreed. to lease the strip to the city for term of years for a consideration of $1. / The apparatus was donated to the city by the commissioners and prop erty owners Of the South Main street paving district, for and in considera- tion of the fact that with this plant !, the city will maintain the paved street in the district, as we'll as all other streets paved with asphalt. The appa- ratus is to be set up and put in order for operation by a representative of the factory which made it, and as soon as this is done the city will begin using the machine, under personal di- rection of the city engineer.
 Arrangements already have been perfected whereby the city will make quite neat profit on the machine, by renting it to paving contractors who have asphalt paving work to do here, and who have repairs to make during the life of their maintenance contract. Such earnings by the machines it is planned, to expend for asphalt, with which the city may add to the area of streets paved with that material, and with which to make repairs where they are needed.

Now seam to the lower edges, turn up on the right side and turn the outer edges under and attach to posi- tion with whatever stitching you have chosen for the tucks Place the sleeves in the arIn-holes with the seams at the notches and the single circles at the shoulder seams, and again use the very narrow double seams. Turn back under the blouse and tack onto the blouse when you will be sure of pretty graceful lines.
 Overface your collar exactly as you have done the sleeves. Arrange over the blouse as directed and underface the two together with very narrow facing. For the blouse with the peplum, overface the lower edge to match the collar or underface as you prefer, and. in either case, cut the facing to fit the blouse. For the casing, at the waist line. cut a straight strip of the material one and one-half inches in width and turn one-quarter of an inch under on each long edge, then apply on the underside of the blouse with the lower edge at the double circles and insert ribbon to draw to required size, If you are making the short blouse. turn the lower edge under one-half inch and again on the same circle and insert ribbon or tape. Lap the right side over the left, the large circles and the center front meeting and close the blouse with buttons and button holes. if you can make them nicely. or trim with group. of buttons as suggested in tue illuatratiou aud attach with snap fasten-ls.

OBITUARY
Thos. Woodard, Sheffield, Ala

Thos. Woodard, Sheffield, Ala.
 Mrs. J. w. Hopper of 1908 West Fourth avenue yesterday received a telegram apprising her of the death at Sheffield, Ala, of her brother, Thom- as Woodland. engine inspector there for the Southern railway. The funer- al is to take place today with inter- ment at Stephenson, Ala. Mrs. Hop per intended to attend the obsequies, but because of the delay in the arrival here of Cotton Belt train on which she planned to depart, she relin- quished hope of making the trip. This train was 5 1-2 hours late, and the delay made it impossible for Mrs. Hopper to reach Stephenson before the tinra ee+ for the funeral. t
 MT. Woodland was about 48 years of age, and is survivor by his widow and several grown children.

Surely marriage is a failure when it's essential purpose, the raising of a family of children, proves impossible. In the childess home the married pair, though sometimes more or less uncon- scious of the fact. grow disappointed and lonely. Lacking the best tie to hold them together they are likely to drift apart, hence many separations and divorces.
 If every wife, whose physical state prevents motherhood, would but try that great remedy, Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound, there would be far fewer childless homes- Adv.

HERE is no one garment that
 fills a greater need than does the separate blouses and during the Spring and Summer it will be exten- sively worn with peplums or skirt extensions. This design can be made in that way or to terminate at the waist line as preferred, but if you want a very new and absolutely smart blouse it will be well to make it full length, to use the deep square collar and the bell-shaped sleeves for these are all features of the newest models. The material. appropriately, will be crepe de chine, Georgette crepe, fine soft crepe or silk, or, if washable material is wanted, a fine cotton voile and you can use any of these in white or in color to match the skirt CT in Paisley design or in fancy 'csen and be sure you will be correct.
