Mrs. Wardner. the founder, gives
an interesting account of the origin
and rise of the home. "The idea of
starting such home as we have first
came to me in 1884," said Mrs. Ward
ner. at occurred to me that it was
pitiful for old soldiers and their wives
to be separated in their old age. There
seemed to be plenty of homes for the
old veterans and plenty of others for
their widows, but almost none where
the old soldier could go and take his
wife. If the soldiers went to any of
them they must leave their wives be-
hind and trust to some other charity
to prevent them from suffering.

There has been talk for some time
In London anent the formation of
club for American women on the lines
Of Sorosis and which could be affiliated
with this mother of clubs. The talk,
until lately, seemed likely to result in
nothing, but within the last few weeks
the project has taken such form that
the projectors are confident of its ul-
innate success. OF its need there is
no question, and Mrs. Hugh Griffith,
the proposed president OF the new or
ganization, speaks most positively of
its being an assured fact in the near
future.

gold and silver medals, having the
efiigy of their benefactor on one side
and some notable act of his upon the
other.
The leaden coffin is placed inside
casket covered with cypress wood and
walled up in some part of the Basilica.
If the Holy Father shall have chosen
his place of sepulchre, either when
living or by his will, the translation
of his remains must not take place
until at least one year shall have
elapsed, except vast sum of money
be paid to the Chapter OF st. Peters
Church.
During the vacancy OF the Holy See
affairs are administered by the Car
dinal Camerlengo, assisted by the
Lord Louis Oreglia di Santo Stefano,
First Cardinal Bishop, Dean of the
Sacred College and Bishop of Ostia
and Valletri; by the Lord Miccislas
Ledochowski, First Cardinal Priest,
and by the Lord Theodolphus Mertel,
First Cardinal Deacon.
The conclave must assemble ten
days after the death of the Pope. The
cardinals go in procession, two and
two, according to their rank, sur
rounded by the Swiss Guard and
singing "Veni Creator Spiritus," to
take possession of the cells assigned
to each by lot.
These cells are erected in hall of
the Vatican communicating with the
Sistine Chapel. They are mere frame

Many tucks are to be seen in mourn

What is known as satin d'Orient
has all the pliability OF pure silk. This

for waists.
The woman with pale clear COM

A new spiral skirt is rather long at
the back and without seams; il falls in
snuous, clnging folds over de-
tached foundation.
Cloth gowns OF rich, smooth, satiny
surface aud very light in color are su-
perceding silks and satins for many oc-
casiJns this season.
Though the sleeves of evening gowns
when there are any are made perfectly
plain, there is still little fulness in
those blouse bodices of velvet and silk
which are worn for theatres and with
cloth suits.
Broad plaid gauze ribbons with
satin stripes are very smart for dress
bows aud hat trimming. The gauze
is in blocks of black aud white, the
satin, also semi-transparent, in ali OF
the new colors.
Golf, tennis, yachting, cycling and

===.===zN LIN A POPE DIES.
The Curious Ceremonies That Follow His Decease and the
Way Successor is Elected


Once again the occupant of the Vat
ican at Rome has become an object of
acute interest to the civilized world.
When the news of Leo KILLS sud
den illness was cir culated recently, it
was believed that his great age and
feebleness would make it extremely
doubtful whether he could undergo
the operation which his physicians de-
cided to be necessary. His illness re-
suited from tumor on the thigh, of
thirty years growth, the excision of
which he bore with much fortitude.
His physical condition, however, was
such that the slightest indisposition
could only have serious result, and
the princes of the Roman Church
realized the fact that the day was not
far distant when another Pontiif must
be chosen to the throne of the Papacy.
This is the story of the death of a
Pope, of the Conclave which follows
and of the election of q new Pope, as
told by the New York World and il
lustrated by pictures taken from
Harper's Weekly:
When he is in his agony his nephews
and his servants will remove what fur
niture they choose from the palace of
the Vatican.
When the doctors certify His Holi-
ness to have ceased to live in this
world the Cardinal Camerlengo, robed
in violet. and the Clerks of the Cham
ber, robed in black, will approach the
corpse and, tapping him three times

Tunics for the Summer Frocks.

Summer frocks will be constructed
drapery will appear in the later mid
summer creations. The tunics will be
inserted with lace in up-and-down
lines and various designs. These
again are being made by hand by
provident women. When the lace is
inserted in VS. the matter is not difi-
cult one to master, as the bands or
strips of sheer dimities or muslins or
silks are neatly overhanded or run to-
gether, but when the designs of lace
are used it is necessary to applique
them firmly onto the material and then
cut it out back of the lace and neatly
blindstitch the edges. Bodices are
also built in the same manner. 1t is
quite n fad for women to make their
own lingerie, That is, they make all
OF the dainty yokes and rutfles in
their spare moments. In fact, Ameri-
can women are following their English
sisters in this particular. for an Eng
lish maid or matron never sits with
idle hands. Lingerie was never so

A few days ago the home celebrated
its eighth birthday, but despite it's

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance. and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
