FOR WINTER WEAR.
Items of Dress fer the Coming Sea-
son.

Items of Dress fer the Coming Sea-
Braiding will be pronounced fea-
ture of fall and winter dressing. An eff
fort is to be made to turn all the energy
that has been expended in summer
frills into braiding for the later seasons,
Stuffs are again to be almost concealed
in manYrows of braiding; stitching will
also flourish Ct always does when braid
ing is in vogue) and again curious ma
terials, woven to give the effect of braid
ing, are offered. 1t must be noted in
favor of braiding that skirts and
bodices grown little limp take on new
trimness and set when generously lined
either with stitching or braid The
gether, however.
Hearts will again be dangled from
neckchains this winter. The latest
heart is crystal bound in gold, inclosing
a four-leaf clover in the middle. An
other novelty is the introduction of a
miYror into this modern acceptance of
the once universal locket. Enameling
of all kinds is again in broad favor, and
will be seen in countless varieties.
Many of the revived Louis XIV. designs
in jewelry lend themselves to the styles
of the present moment, especially for
brooches and corsage designs. Bangles
of increasing amplitude are promised in
the revival of oldttime fashions, which
seems to be predominating at present.
Furs, especially sable and chinchilla,
are fashionable garnitures for mil
linery, and rich yelvets and silks are
draped over soft frames, producing
wonderfully effective results. This
method of draping a hat cannot be de-
scribed; one must see it in the reality
or a picture to fully comprehend just
how it is done. Purple is stiu holding
the imperial sway it has for three years,
although wonderful deep red is close
rival to it, whSe royal blue, silver gray,
black and white, white and black, all
black and all white obtain. Brilliant
buckles and pins are used to fasten flow
ers and plumes to position. Indeed,
wherever an effective bit of color or
brightness can be artistically arranged
there it is in evidence.
The tendency of the winter jacket is
toward the blouse-effect, which is OBJ
tanned by darts. Yokes, collars, cuffs,
piping in fur, whether il be mink, Per
sian lamb, ermine, sable, silver and
black fox or monkey, will be popular
Velvet and silk braid of all widths are
much used. Satin cloth is really the
novelty of the day, and obtains in hello
trope, green, mode, golden brown, sill
yer gray, royal blue, dove and Lincoln
green. On this are seen not only the fur
decorations mentioned, but also very
thick, coarse, black wooden braid and
tiny straps of leather matching or con-
trasting with the cloth in color. Col
lars continue high, are gored and I'M
dulating, and may be lined with fur.
velvet or lace. Vatican effects are used

and the Oldest of ten children-only
four of whom survive him, two brothers
and two sisters, He was a man highly
esteemed by all who knew him, he vas
in his early life a merchant and con.
tinued in the goods business until he
married, he then spent the remainder
of his life on the farm. He was kind,
jovial and good natured; all who knew
him liked him and were panied to hear
of his death. He was married in 1867
to Mrs. Mary Murrell. Two daughters
were born to them, Mary E. and Stella
M, who with their mother and his
brothers, sisters and many other trends
and relatives sadly mourn his death.
He had been a great sufferer for more
than a year, his suffering grew more
severe to the last, one wondered how
he bore it so long; all that medical skill
could do was done, but to no avail.
Even while with us his footsteps trod,
death 8 seal was on his brow. So pa

kindness that though he required the
constant attention of his wife, daugh-
tiers and sisters, they gave this atten.
ton without feeling the burden of it.
Any physician would have called him
a good patient. We mourn not as those
that have no hope. We have q promise
of meeting our loved ones again where
partings are no more. In speaking of
death he gave the assurance repeatedly
that he did not fear death md if it was
the will of the Lord for him to die it
was all right. He died without a strug-
gle and with a smile on his lips. 1t
can be said truly that those who saw
his look in death no more may fear to
die. We believe that Uncle Bob is now
enjoying the realities of heaven and
will be waiting at the beautiful pearly
gate ready to swing it back on its
golden hinges for his dear ones to enter
into their eternal happiness. To say
we miss him but family expresses our
feelings. When the came

kind and loving hands arrayed him
