Kalamazoo a week ago and went to
Elkhart. where he proposed TO move.

ployed as a delivery man by the st.
Joe Ice Co. Saturday while on his
route Hawiey disappeared and every
effort of the police TO find him or dis
cover any clue to his whereabouts
proved unavai4ing. The police OF
southern Michigan and northern In
diana towns have been furnished with
a description of the missing man, but
the theory prevails that Hawley

CONFESSION OF GUILT.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Sept. 17.-An
immense crowd Of people here yester-
lay witnessed one Of the most impress
sive ceremonies OF the Catholic church
and one seldom seen. 1t was tire con-
secration OF st. James Church on West
Bridge street by Bishop Richter. as
sisted by score OF priests from about
the diocese. This Is the second church
in the diocese of Western Michigan to
be consecrated, the other being st.
Boniface at Bay City. Few churches
are consecr1ted because OF the condi-
lions necessary 10 exist before il can
DE done. They must have stationary
altars. must be out of debt. self -suS-
talMng and be capable in other ways
10 merit the honor of conservation. ST
James is one of the oldest churches OF
the city and was built by the late
Father Pulcher. who was succeeded by
Rev. Robert Brown. the present pas
tor. All conditions being favorable
application was made TO Rome for con-
secration and acted upon favorably.
The ceremonies began at 6:30 yes
terday morning and finished at 1
CLOCK. FIRST TIE bishop approached
the church in the early dawn, attired
in full yestments and attended by the
clergy, marched around the building
three times each time knocking at the
door with his crozier as he came
around. At the last knock the door
was opened and the bishop entered,
making the sign of the cross and scat
tering salt and holy water. The sue
ceeding ceremonies were very impress
sive and all according 10 the church,
rites. ashes being strewn in the alsles
and the name of the church written
therein. the affairs, candies and relics
being blessed and the whole ending
with a pontifical high mass. There
are less than seventy Catholic
churches in this, country which are

Something Worth Knowing.

To obtain the perfume from any ia
vorite flower is possible with little
trouble, II one has an abundance OF
flowers. The blossoms should be pick
ed without a stem and dropped into n
Jar half full of olive or almond Oil.
After standing in that until the next
day. they should be put into a coarse
cloth and squeezed dry over the bot
tie of oil Then fresh flowers should
be added and the operation repeated
until the required strength is obtain
ed. The oil is then to be mixed with
an equal quantity of purerectified
spirits. This should be shaken every
day for three weeks, when 1t may be
turned off and bottled for use.

serving Meal. In Courses.

1t is an old-established rule to serve
but two vegetables with the meat
course; at an elaborate dinner one is
preferable. Such vegetables as corn
on the cob. asparagus or caulifiower
may be served alone as a course.
Where fish is not served, and unless
1t is very good it is much better
omitted, the vegetable may be served
here; then will follow the meat and
the starchy vegetables. II game is
served the salad is served with the
game; otherwise IL is served as a sep
arate course. There Is no objection,
however, to serving salad with roast
chicken or capon. following the heav-
Ter meat dish.

White is always a fitting color
for the gowning of a young girl
during the summer months. The
garden party frock shown in the
illustration is of snowy, sheer Eng
lish nainsook, with Valenciennes
lace and insertion. alternated with
white satin ribbon. A touch of
color can be given to the costume
by using ribbon of some pale shade
in place of the white. The hat is
, one of those pretty, soft wash af-
fairs which are so becoming TO
fresh faces and have the added
recommendation of economy, as
they can be ripped up, laundered
and come out good as new.

OF all the fruits which came in with
Easter fashions hardly any has sur
vived early summer showers except
cherries. In velvet and satin they are
recognized millinery trimmings. Pret-
ty are red cherries, whether decorating
a straw hat of white, black. red or the
natural color. The preferred fashion
is big bunch. ranging in color from
a green just beginning TO turn to the
rich. almost black, hue of the OK heart.
The maker of artificial cherries has ar
tistic license TO grow on the same
stem fruit in all shades of red which
please him.

That pretty fashion, the neckless
, gown, which has succeeded so well
this summer in country places, Is
threatened by its quick adoption for
other and inappropriate costumes. /

by woman who had been misin-
formed again on Broadway, in the
evening. and, worse yet, on a wo-
man awheel. True, everybody wore
dresses cut low when our mothers
were girls, but there is no present
good authority for low, even for visi-
BILE necks except in domestic and So
cial life, neither of which thrives in

They are hard to nnd. because rath-
or fussy to make. and therefore ex-
pensive. but belts with hooks on the
wrong side at the back are worth
searching for. The best shops keep
them in black. white, gray and tan
feathers. 1he hook ias.ens into an
eye on the skirt, and keeps in place
with most provoking neatness when II
is recalled how many seasons we went

Tried by time and weather as the
shirt waist has been, the original OBJ
lection TO it remains true; in no cir
cumstances is it complete dress. Wo-
men consent to appear without coats
to their skirts because of the great
comfort in this style of dress. Yet
when 1t is desirable to wear even
morning costume correctly coat or
coatee is put on over the washable
blouse Even a linen skirt requires
linen jacket worn with it to give tothe
dress an altogether neat appearance.
Women there are who never would
appear in public in town without at
the least a coatee, ever so small, car
ried on their arms
