ing. All that willing hearts and ready
hands could do was done for her re-
covery; but God had better plans for
her. She had enjoyed but five years of
happy welded life. The funeral SER
vices were from TIE house, Monday, a

Dane ofi1ciated and his remarks were
very impressive. Rev. Z. Il. Longley of

ate music. A poem was read by the
pastor, to her memory, from the En-.
desvor society OF which she was an
active member, composed by Mrs. Ida
(Frederic) Morse. The floral decora.

Bead Collecting.

1t is astonishing how many women
have taken to bead collecting, which
has now reached the dimensions Of a
society fad. Some sort Of necklace Is
almost imperative with the unlined
blouse, because 1t is worn over a slip
bodice without collar or wristband, and
some little dainty arrangement is nee
essary to hide where the slip ends at
the neck to leave the lace band collar
quite transparent. Real jewelry is Of
