It was not until last winter that Mr. Traynor heard of the New York stable dance, and when he built his new 16x64 pigpen this summer he made up his mind to show the countryside a touch of high life and at the same time uphold the social status of the west. Simply because it was held in a pigpen we are warned not to imagine that the dance was on the hog. jir. Traynor met his guests at the door and innocently bade them make themselves at home.

Crepe de chine is a charming material for a wedding dress, but it must be made long, that is, with at least a short train. Then the question arises, whether one can make use of such a gown afterwards If you decide that you can do so, then I should have a princess gown, made to fit the figure, by means of shirring from a plain front panel, and finish the bottom with three narrow self frills. The yoke will be of fine aH-over lace, while the bertha arrangement will de lg^ pend largely upon your proportions.

Take E people of the United States will know that Arkansas is on the map when Governor, Jeff takes his seat in the senate. Jeff Davis is one of the most remarkable characters in public life today. He has had more controversies' and more fights than any militant statesman of the present generation. He has been opposed by every important newspaper in his state and is held In re proach by the conservative element of his party. Yet he has won every political congest in which he ever engaged. "Peepul" are with him. This might puzzle some observers who have 'watched his career. He has been thrashed in every personal encounter in which he has engaged down to date. Moreover, he has been charged with gross misconduct in office by the attor ney general of the state, in borrowing money from the state treasury and in drawing twice for the same items of expense from his contingent fund. But these things have made little difference to the "peepul" of Arkansas. Governor Davis has been running for office or else holding office ever since he was graduated from the Arkansas university at Fayetteville. He started to practice law at Bussellville, but it was not long before he was elected district attorney. From that office he stepped into that of attorney general, where he served two terms and made himself famous as the original "trust buster." This -was good campaign ma terial and he ran for governor on an anti-trust plat form. He was elected three times. In getting his third term he broke all records for governors of southern states, as it is an unwritten law that no man, no matter how efficient, shall serve more than two terms. While governor for the second term Davis made a combination with J. P. Olarke, by the terms of which Clarke was to succeed James K. Jones as United States senator, and Davis was to have Senator Berry's seat when Berry's term expired. Clarke be came senator, and last week Governor Davis defeated Senator Berry after a bitter primary contest, the result of which is binding on the democratic mem bers of the legislature. In Jen* Davis the state -will be represented by a picturesque type. His gait is that of the country man, and over his shoes hangs a pair of coarse, home made yarn socks, tn his manner of dealing with people he suggests the late Governor Hogg of Texas. He has won his political fights because he has ranged himself on the side of the country folk. He has always lost the city vote, but the rural districts have given him overwhelming majorities. On the plat form he is a forceful and entertaining talker, with a wealth of invective thatt surpasses even the vitrolie English of the late W. 0. Brann of Iconoclast fame. He pets the plain people. He cajoles them. He calls them "hill billies and red necks," and they fairly roar their applaiise In the course of one of his speeches he, with af fected oarelessnesss, pulled a fed bandana handker chief from his coattail pocket. A shower of safety pins fell over the platform. The audience shouted gleefully and those who were hostile Jeered. "That's all right," bawled Davis.

MISS ROTHSCHILD'S PET ZEBBAS A number of the de Rothschilds have a fondness for half-savage animals, and Miss Alice de Bothschild has a collection of Hindu bulls and zebras and llamas. She is also interested in cattle breeding and owns a large num ber of exceptionally fine carriage horses. She is a sister of the late Bar on Ferdinand de Bothschild, who left her in addition to much other property his residence near Aylesbury.

You can vote for that sort of a man if you ^want to, but if you vote for me you vote for. a man who loves his wife and babies." The speech caught the crowd, and especially the women, as Davis probably intended it should. Davis has nine children. Governor Davis has many enemies, "but they have never been able to turn any circumstance to his political disadvantage. They thought they had him where they wanted him when he bought a fine house in the best residential section of Little Bock for his home while Governor. They tried to discredit him by calling the attention of the "plain peepul" to this. "Of course I have a fine house." saw Davis, re plying to his critics in a speech. I got that house to entertain my friends, the plain people of Arkansas. I want you all to come and see me. The streetcars pass right by the house, and I wouldn't have bought it if they didn't. "When yon get out to Fifteenth Street and Broadway, jump off the car and come in. If the door isn't open, kick it In. When you come in, keep a-walking. If you don't find my wife in the front part of the house, you'll find her out in the back yard making home-made soap, just as she used to make it at home." Little Bock society tittered when it heard of this. Mrs. Davis is a great favorite there, and she is known as a charming woman of marked refinement. It is generally believed that her soap-making propensities are largely a figure of speech indulged in by her elo quent husband. His refusal to attend the luncheon to President Koosevelt some months ago at Xiittle Rock is a matter of current knowledge In the first place, he refused point blank to don a "high hat" and frock coat when he rode in one of the carriages which took the visit ing party thru the aity. "Why, the wood-haulers wouldn't know me in those togs," was his explanation for clinging to his accustomed garb. T"* When the hour for luncheon arrived Davis refused to attend. President Boosevelt even pleaded with him. It finally developed that Powell OJayton, for mer ambassador to Mexico, was to be one of the guests. Mr. Clayton is a resident* of Arkansas, a reminder of the days of the reconstruction. Davis insisted that the militia under Clayton killed his aunt. "JWell, governor," asked President Boosevelt, "can't we persuade you to join usf Is there any thing personal in thief" "Oh, no," returned Davis. "Nothing personal at all. It's only because that cuss killed my aunt." Again the enemies of Davis arose and sought to BEDSTEADS FOB OATS If American toms and tabbies could only be made to understand a descrip tion of the manner of living of the cats of Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Hol stein the eyes of the native animals would take on a greener hue.

A flower or plant grow ing in the richest soil, but deprived of the nourishment derived from sunshine and air, will be pale and sickly. Except that it is a weakling because of its deprivation there is not anything un healthy about it, and given sunshine and air will soon grow strong and bloom luxuriantly. So it is with many of the pale-faced, delicate-looking women. They delude themselves with the idea that to pre serve their complexion they must shut out the sunlight and exclude the air by the wearing of heavy veils. There are veils that can be worn and are beauti fiers also, but not teautifier in the accepted sense. These veils are a thin gauze-like mesh, not perfectly plain in design (neither do they have the vision annoyrag or destroying dots) that Will confine all the stray short hairs and will give to the wearer a well-groomed look which to my mind is beauty.

She models heads of pets of wealthy women to ornament the parasol handles of their mistresses. Usually her sitters are dogs, tho aristo cratic Persian and Angora pussies have posed for her and she has had orders from horsewomen for models of their mounts. She makes her little studies at first in clay and afterwards has them cast in precious metal or carved in ivory, as her customers wish. Some times the artist uses only the head of the animal, and again her study is full length. The charm of the work lies in the cleverness with which she suggests the individuality of a pet, and her skill in adapting the bust, if it may be called that, to the particular stick.
