Everybody was quiet for a few min
utes, and thought 1 saw tear drop on
the red wool and then the Knitter said,
Did you know that the Princess Alice
rooms are kept just as they were dur
ing her lifetime? While in her hus-
bands rooms are photographs, books
and little presents that she gave him,
each with its date written upon it, and
labeled liebe Alice. You know what
was written about her?
She being dead yet speaketh-all may
hear.
The message left u.l by her lovely life,

unfortunate guest had 20 endure that

Then. the hostess utilized the chest of

Now, when a woman visits me, ]
consider it my duty TO arrange her
room as nearly like my own as possible;
that is 20 say, put some new books on
the table. arrange ink, paper, pens,
where they are most convenient; put
toilet articles, pins and q pincUshiOn on

VULGAR FUNERAL DESIGNS.
Il wonder who invented those abomi-
nable wax flowers? Probably the
same villain who first manufactured
funeral pieces. When l am dead, ii
anybody puts one OF those wired abom-
nations on me. IN send my spOok 20

dreadful and I consider the money
spent for thNm as 3u awf'i waste. II
somebody that YOU or l loves dies and
we care 20 put q few flowers near them.
we don want to murder the flowers
with pieces of wire, we don't want the
tradesmen 10 decide what these flowers
shall be, nor do we care 10 send them
with our cards tied en- as representing

as vulgar as gents and pants and per-

TYPES OF DRESSNAEEBS.
The Knitter was evidently blinking
90 something else. She SAID. "One
thinks one known how 10 be economi-
cll and yet one is always making mis-
takes. This spring [ had a 'irSJ-class
dressmaker do my incest dresses, ard
concluded 10 have a woman by ,he day
work ON the cotton frOcks. She was
very cheap and I was tempted and fell.
Her work was just js cheap as her
price. Not one of my cotton gowns Is
