Death Of Mrs. pltt.mOre.

Mrs. L. T. Dittemore, after suffering
for several months with consumption,
passed peacefully away last Saturday,
Jan. 80, 1897, at her home in this place.
Her maiden name was Marilla Hall
and she first saw the light of day in
Bureau county, ILL.,, December ~, 1850.
At the time of her death she was aged
46 years, one month and IS days. In
1855 she crossed the plains with her
parents and settled in Sonoma county,
California and was united in marriage
TO Lewis r. Dittemore in the same
county on November IL, 1868. They re-
moved to Columbia county, WASH, 10
1878. where they resided In the vicinity
of Dayton until August, 1890, when
they came to this place. In February,
1886 Mrs DittemOre was taken sick
with pneumonia which terminated 10
that dread disease, quick consumption.
Deceased WAS the mother OF seven
children, two dead and FIVE living.
namely: Charles, Hattie, Perry, Jesse,
and Gladys, who is too young to realize
the great loss she has sustained. De
ceased had been faithful and consis-
tent member of the Christian church
since 1874 and died with a hope OF
eternal life in the world to come. There
were ten brothers and sisters in Mrs.
Dittemore's family, only two Of whom
survive, Benjamin F. and Henry N.
Hall. As loving wife, kind mother
and good neighbor deceased endeared
herself TO those around her aud her
pleasing presence will be missed, sadly
missed, in that home where she was a
shining light and its most precious
jewel.
The funeral took place from the
family residence Monday at 10 o'clock
a. m. The services were conducted by
Rev. T. G. HOdgsOn, of the Methodist
church. The attendance was quite
large and expressions OF sympathy for
the affected family were heard ON every
side.

ITEMS OF INFORMATION.

The most extensive cemetery in
the world is that at Rome, in which
over 6 100000 human beings have
been inferred.
1t rains on an average EOS days in
the year in Ireland, about $50 in
England, at Kozan about 90 days,
and in Siberia only so days
The most dangerous waters in the
world for the passage of ships lie of
the east coast of England, Cape
Ushant, in France, and Cape Finis
terre, In Spain.
The British secretary of state for
war has issued a circular to the
various commanding generals of the
army calling upon them to enforce
the queens regulations tquiring
officers to grow moustaches.
Stockport, England, boasts one of
the largest Sunday schools in the
world. The total number of scholars
at present on the books is no fewer
than S34, while there are 23S male
and 1875 female teachers-a grand
army of over 5 600.
The late C. Jerome Cary, of Mil
waukee, directed that his body
should be burned, that the ashes
should be used to nourish a certain
rosebush, and that the blossoms
should be distributed among his
friends. His wishes were carried out.

self and must be cut as carefully. An Ill
shaped and i'll fitting lining will spoil the
look of the most expensive costume.
While sleeves were worn very large it
was permissible to have them different
from the gown, and therefore the rejuvena-
ton of costumes was less difficult than it
is at present. Now that sleeves are much
more moderate in their dimensions such
variation is not allowed. Trimming of
velvet, mousseline de sole, tulle, etc., may
be arranged, however, on the sleeves and
repeated on the bodice to give a homogene-
Gus effect. A breadth may be taken out
of the exceptionally wide skirt of last year
to make new sleeves if no other expedient
offers itself, for skirts are decidedly mar
rover than they were.
Ball and evening wraps are long, cover
ing the entire figure, or are short, descend
ing only to the waist Plush is largely
used for them, a wadded silk lining being
added and high collar and bands of fur.
Velvet, brocade, silk and even cloth are
also employed for these wraps, all being
more or less elaborated by embroidery,
lace or passementerie.
An illustration is given of dinner gown
of broche silk having mignonette green
design on white ground. The trained
skirt is laid in box plaits, between which
are panels of mignonette green satin, the
panels on each side Of the tablier termi-
mating under green satin bow before they
reach the waist. The bodice has pointed
decolletage and is slightly gathered at the
waist under a pointed belt of folded green
satin, which is crossed at the back. A
wide green ribbon Stimulates a bolero in
front and forms large bow at the bosom.
The short, pulled sleeves have green bows
at the shoulders and lower edge, and crna-
mental buttons confine the fullness of the
bodice on each side back and front.

There are certain jewels which are FL
ways in fashion, and these are the most
costly, such as diamonds, rubies, emeralds
and sapphires, the value of which seldom
changes, and there are other gems, less
precious, whose value fuctuates surpris-
ingly. When they are in vogue, they bring
a large price, but when they are not their
cost is comparatively small, which shows
that their intrinsic worth has little to do
with the matter. just now amethysts
have come to the front, and there is brisk
demand for them. Brooches as large as
the ordinary cent and consisting of a CEN
trail amethyst, beautifully cut, surrounded
by a row of small pearls, seem to be the
fashionable form in which the gem now
appears. These are sold at S125 to $3.50
and are very attractive if one cares for
large stones in jewelry.

is usually some sort of cravat or lace ar
rangement at the throat to modify the Sc
verify of the tall collar.
1t is said that soft, dropping bows and
coques are to replace the erect, aggressive
ones which have been the favorites of late.
Many of the new ribbons are of yielding
texture and are therefore well adapted to
the new style.
Walking sticks are now the fad of the
society girl. If she wants to be thorough

costly stick, and the quainter and more

takes her constitutional.
Floral muffs are a novelty little suited
to the prevailing temperature at this sea-
son. They are made of silk and covered
by an arrangement of small cords to match,
through which the stems of the flowers are
passed.
The white and colored glace ribbons,
had tremendous run, both for millinery
purposes and as a trimming for ball gowns.
Ribbons bordered with two or three bands
of black velvet baby ribbon are also seen.
These narrow velvet bands are much en-
ployed on thin fabrics.
The illustration shows a pretty house
gown Of electric blue cashmere or poplin.
1t is crossed In front and closes at the left
side. The collar and collarette are of white
mousse1ine de sole, as are the frills at the
wrists. The belt of white satin, tied at
the side, has long ends. The gown is lined
as far down as the hips with flannel, the
skirt having lining of silk.
