eph's Catholic Church Here.

The funeral of the late Archbishop
John J. Kahn occurred in the cathe-
dral at St. Lewis at 10 O'Clock Wednes-
day morning. the edifice being thrcpged
with the friends of the dead urelate.
The interior was diaped in black. the
sombre decorations being elaborate
around the high altar.
The ceremonies were of the mos
impressive character, many dignitart
les of the Catholic church being in
the sanctuary. Cardinal Gibbons was
the celeb1ant of the solemn high re.
QUEEN mass, and archbishop John j.
Kean, of Dubuque, Iowa, delivered
the sermon over the remains of his
former classmate and friend All
ne clergy of the archdiocese of st.
Lewis were present in their white
and black robes. The music of the
mass was rendered BY the splendid
choir of tho cathedral, aud was very
beautiful.
At S O'Clock this morning Rev
Father Donahoe celebrated a high
requiem mass in St Joseph's Cath
Ollie church, ofswhich the dead arch
bishop was pastor for several years
Immediately after the Civil war. The
alter drapings were black, as were
the vestments of the priest. The
solemn music of the mass was sung
bv Misses Estelle and That's Blon-
del and Miss Rose Cunningham,
while Miss Mollie Martin presided at
the organ. These ladies' were all per-
sonal friends of Archbishop Kahn. and
it was with melancholy feeling that
the music for the repose of his soul
was rendered by them.
The baptismal register of st. JOS
eph's church shows that Archbishop
Kahn was born in 1910. year ear

By MARY DEAN.

A subtle point in all artistic cos
tuning nowadays is the way that tints
and tones are blended together. Some
soft shades Of gray are Just wink
of the eyelash off from one another,
and when combined one melts into
another so tenderly that the impress
sion of scanning is lost. These delicate
cloud-like hues are called mole grays,
and they are admirably expressed in
French cloth. Costumes in such ma
terials often run to shaped biases, left
raw edged and shading from the pal
est to the deepest tint Deep silk
fringes will embellish a few of the i'm
ported cloth costumes, and these will
be entirely in one tone.
To count the shades of Magenta
which fashion is now putting forth
would be a thankless task, for their
number is legion. Some of the Dame
has plainly unearthed from her garnet
of dead modes, and few of the roses
of the newer tints have the sentiment
tai air of having faded in her cedar
chests.

muslin or net, at the bottom of rich
yoke of some sort, will create the look
of a cape, while another at the elbow
of the sleeves contributes to the grace
full fall now necessary for these pic
turesque details.
An opera coat made in this style
was of ivory white chenille picked del
icately with black. At a distance this
resulted in a look of baby ermine, but
nearly nothing could have been more
fairy-like than the combinati of black
and white and the solid fringe of flmy
lace.
With such models for their disposal.
the lucky women who have inherited
old laces and fringes can put them to
good use. In the matter of different
patterns of trimming, fashion allows
much leeway, and, provided they are
all dyed the same color, three sorts
of fringe may be used for one coat.
A coquettish long coat of black net
and inch-wide fringe suggested a way
to employ the narrower sort. A deep
shirred fiounce of the net trimmed the
bottom of the coat. and at the edge of
this were five rows of the fringe put
close together. The cape collar and
bottoms of the flowing sleeves were
treated in the same way.

HOW TO MAKE
AND TO CHANGE
THE SICK BED

Sickness comes at some time soon
or late, to every family, no matter
how carefully guarded, but trained
nurses are not always at hand. On
this account, it is a safe thing for
every woman to know Just how to
prepare and to change a bed for q per-
son too ill to be readily moved.
The best bedstead for use in sick
ness is of brass or iron, six and a half
feet in length. two or two and a half
feet in height, and three feet ia
width.
The mattress should be of hair, as
that can be readily cleaned and dis
infected. Cotton makes the best ma
terial for sheets. as linen is apt to
chill. Three sheets should be in use
at a time-the upper, the lower and
the draw, which is placed directly UNI
der the patient. Blankets of good quail
ity make the best covering, with a
lightweight Counterpart at the top.
There should be two large pillows
one of hair and the other of feathers
and as many small pillows as the ex-
igencies of the case require.

the lower sheet and pin it into place
on the under side of the mattress, so
that the patient may not work it up
into wrinkles. Fold the draw sheet
and pin it across the middle of the
bed so that it will extend from the
patients shoulders to we'll below the
hips. Put on the upper sheet, leaving
it little loose for the feet. and long
enough to turn over the blanket at
the top. The blanket need not be so
long as the sheet, but should be long

same length as the sheet and left long
enough to fold over. aF

enthusiasm" So many a girl has silk
dancing dresses and rustles to her
hearts content. She may even attain
to the dignity of silk fringe as a dress
trimming.
Nile green crepe de chine makes
charming dancing frock for the if
teen-year-old miss The square cut
neck is finished by a pointed collar of
handmade lace, which gives the effect
of a yoke. The waist is accordion
pleated, but the pleating is so stretch
ed as to give a lined effect Narrow
rows of shirring divide the elbow
sleeves into puffings, and at the elbow
comes a double frill of silk and lace.
The underskirt of Nile green silk is
finished by a deep accordion pleated
rufffe. The OVERSIGHT of. the crepe
de chine is slightly graduated in
length from front to back, and is
edged by two rows Of fancy silk braid
of exactly the same shade.
But its striking feature is the deep
silk fringe which edges il. This is
dyed to match exactly the crepe and
gives graceful effect. A single width
of Nile green ribbon forms a belt,
which is fastened at the left side. At
this point a piece of the fringe starts,
and falls in graceful drapings down to
the bottom of the skirt fringe. A big
Alsatian bow of the green ribbon is
perched on the top of the head, con-
trasting charmingly with the golden
curls and rosy cheeks Of the wearer.
At the evening dancing classes and
parties the girl Just verging on young
womanhood can be allowed her first
low necked frocks. There is nothing
extreme about them, however, and
they are more apt to be quaint than
startling. Now that the Powered mus

A fascinating silk muslin is to be

THE SAMPLER GIRL
AND HER CROSS
STITCH EMBROIDERY

This is the day of renaissance for the
sampler. Happy is the girl who has
one of the quaint old pieces of coarse
canvas showing the letters of the al
phabet in cross-stitch. It has the large
letters as we'll as the small ones. all
worked by the girls great-grand-
mother.
1t is not for nothing that samplers
have been preserved all these years.
Cross-stitch is now one of the most
approved ways of marking, and the
modern sampler girl is using her an
cestral sampler as a model Some
times she marks her first name only,
sometimes her full name. according to
whether she is marking her under
clothes or is bride-elect busy over
her wedding linens.
Cross-stitch is the simplest kind of
embroidery, the result is effective, and
it is a delight to work from the old
samplers. So the girl who has not an
ancestral sampler is trying to beg
borrow or steal one. But. except
for the matter of sentiment. she is no
worse off If her search is unsuccessful
There is ample provision for doing
the revived stitch.
Cross-stitch had its first revival
on bands used for trimming children
frocks. Then the bands appeared on
womens shirt waists. and now orna-
ments dainty collar and cuff sets. At
first it was called Russian cross-stitch.
Indeed. the first work was actually
Russian, in red and blue, the charac-
ts<istic Russian colors. But it had

and a chiffon ruching outlines the bust
line and extends across the shirred
caps of the sleeves. Below this runs a
wide insertion of the embroidered chif-
fon. The full skirt is shirred into the
waist band. Triple rows of chiffon
ruching give a fluffy effect to the bot
tom of the skirt. Six inches above this
runs an elaborate serpGntine insertion
of the embroidered chiffon, latticed and
edged by ruching. AS the bodice fits
snugly over the skirt, no sash is re-
quired.
Dotted Swiss is a favorite material
for the dancing frock, while point
desprit is even prettier when made
over colored silk.
A point d'esprit made over white
taffeta is a miracle of hand tuGking
and lace insertion. The skirt has
slight train, and flares widely around
the bottom. 1t is trimmed to a hight
OF ten inches above the hem by lace
insertion and groups of tucking, and
finished by a three-inch wide ruft1e of
lace. Further up the tucking and lace
Insertion is used in an even wider band
to give a graduated flounce effect.
The waist has deep rounded yoke
Of lace insertion, finished by six
inch wide lace f1ounce. Below this it
is tucked horizontally and blouses over
a pointed French waist line. The ell
bow sleeves are trimmed with alter
nate lace insertion and tucking, and
finished by double ruffies of wide lace.
The sash is of the point d'esprit, fin
ished off with lace, and is tied at the
left side.
Another dainty point desprit frock
has the wide skirt flounce and the low
neck headed by a pink rose ribbon.
Tiny nosegays of roses ornament the

gloveless and she has no train to an

If she has been careful many of her
summer frocks may do duty for the
winter dancing class. The styles in
party frocks show little change. nor
is there much of a variation in mate
rial. Wash fabrics promise to be worn
all winter for evening functions. as
well as for shirt waists. though her
new winter dancing frocks will prob
ably be fashioned from some soft
clinging silk and wool mixture, which
readily lends itself to either ACCORDION
pleating or shirring.
Shirring is always becoming to the
childish figure, and it wears better
than ACCORDION pleating. A pale pink
albatross is pretty for the 14-year- old
girl The square neck gives refresh
ing glimpse of the girlish throat. and
is outlined with two-inch band OF
heavy cream lace insertion. The shall

last dainty touch.
Scarlet is a becoming color for the
brunette. Pale blue and white are al
ways pretty, blue and pink are a
Frenchy combination. while baby blue
with dull green ribbons gives a very
esthetic effect.
Silk is not tabooed, though simpler
fabrics are more advisable. As one
mother said: 1T is a shame to make
a girl wait for the delight of a first

nitude, whether in belt. vest or rosette
form, being, as the word indicates,
merely a touch" But the smallest
seed fashion sows by the wayside is
done with intention, and the harvest
is only blighted if that intention is re-
vealed. AS a Partisan artist was wont
to say, "A woman's costumes should be
an impression. something you can't
nick to pieces" though no maker who
ever achieved grea tness was ever so
woefully celebrated in frills and ro-
settles.
French makers of lesser prominence
and more genuine artistic feeling than
this great man-milliner ever possessed
are responsible for the long. loose
coats now in the market. For brief
SPACE these useful and comfortable
garments were threatened with ex-
tinction because of vulgar exaggera-
ton. But now the models are just
long enough. just loose enough. and
sufficiently plain or trimmed. as the
day coats on the ulster order are made
of shower proof tweeds, checked or
striped on one side and plain on the
other These are usually half fitting,
with sleeves flowing or pulled and vel
vet collar and trimmings.
A long coat which presents stun
ming possibilities for evening wear is
a loose sacque of plain cloth with
white satin or lace facings. Such mod
els may be in black. white or color
though If colored the attendant gown
is supposed to rank in the same fam
