To the Clever Woman Who Makes the Most of What
She Spends
She Spends

The women of 100 per
cent. smartness are the ones
for whose patronage we are
ever alert. With them a
word or a hint goes as far as
a page - at a glance they
recognize the subtilties that
make a coat or suit the lead
err in its class. And so to
the tailors of New York and
Cleveland we owe a world of
thanks in this season of smart
clothes-and SO does everyone who
likes to see stunning garments on
stunning dresses.
The many snappy garments of in
dividual style and smartness which
we are showing surely appeal to
those who want something that is
new and different, something that
has little individuality in itself.
These are the garments you will
find here.

ExPoST,0N TRAIN
 IS COMING TOMORROW
California in All Its Beauty Will Be Shown Here Monday, Tuesday
 and Wednesday.

The California Railway exposition will arrive in town tomorrow and, judging from the reception Northern Arkansas has been according it, Pine Bluff has rare treat in store.
 The entire train is a triumph in the exhibitors art. One could spend hours feasting on the decorative work alone, and the miniature reproductions of the Yosemite valley and the Big Tree grove the visitor will remember a lifetime. These mammoth trees of the San Joaquin Sierras are the oldest and largest living things in the world. They grow to height of $50 feet and occasionally have a base circumfer' ence of 150 feet. The bark on some of them is 40 inches in thickness, ac- cording to age. Many of these trees have been found by scientists to be over 1000 years old.
 "See America First" is a good slo- gam and what tourist would boast that he had seen America who had not stood on Glacier Point and gazed. overwhelmed, into the Yosemite valley Gods masterpiece of sculpture, or who had missed the inspiration of the Big Trees? So, if you have never been to California it will pay you to, visit this exposition train and have q glimpse of some of the wonders of the

world.
 An automatic stereopticon, display ing continuous series of beautifully colored slides, is a source of keen de- light to young and old alike, and after enjoying the entire trip you will be inclined to share the sentiments of the poet who wrote: "Out there in California, where the
 orange turns to gold, And nature has forgotten all the art
 of growing cold, There's not briefest moment, when
 songster's do not sing, And life's a sort of constant race,
 'twixt summer and the spring, Why, just to know the joy of 1t, one
 might his best years give, Out there in California, where it's
 comfort just to live"
 The cars are to be parked on the Cotton Belt tracks at Third and Main streets, where they will be open to the public from l to 9 D. m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.

 Buying became more active later with May eontradts selling up to 1 1.65c and October to 6:65c, or about 33 to 9 points net higher.
