The summer coats and skirts in Irish
frieze or homespuns are prettily strapped
and stitched. and the facings always of the
most pleasing harmony in delightful con-
trast. For example. a heliotrope homespun
has white facings delicately embroidered
with mauve and pale blue flowers and fol-
iage: another IN pale green Is faced with
cream panne. stamped with delicate pink
flowers and foliage.
There is every pastel shade imaginable in
cloths. as well as the new ptnky reds used
in making the modlsh gowns. Some have
little Elton or bolero bodices Among other
garments worth notice in the shops are the
covert coating costumes. riding habits and
driving coats. among them many admirable
Viennese models.
The travelling capes and cioaks will prove
most useful to those who are vending their
way to the mountains. The skirts are par
ticularly well cut. and many are to be sold
singly. To go with these are several pretty
silk and muslin shirts and hlouses.

time engaged with Yegen Bros, and

vorably known by many people, both
in the city and county, and all will
regret to learn of his death.
The deceased leaves a devoted wife
and two children, a girl and boy, to
whom the sympathy Of the commun-

Mr.. Goulding was a member OF the
Masonic, Woodmen of the World and

services, which will be held from the
late residence this afternoon at 2
