viving sister of Dean Thomas Mackin
and one Of the contestants in the con
test of the priests will now being
heard in the circuit court, died yester-
day afternoon at the home of Mrs
Mary Crummie at Presumption. Her
death was due to chronic gastritis and
complications brought on by the Worry
and melancholy due to the contest of
the will and the fact that the instru-
ment dispOssessed her of the home
where she was living at Hershey. Neb.
She had been failing for about a year.
Mrs. McArdle was about 65 years of age.
She formerly lived at Gable, Orion.

of Edward Crummie, which was to
have been introduced by the contest
ants. Mrs. Sarah Beam. her daughter,
was on the stand last week. and gave
very important testimony for the con
testants. Had her mothers death oc-
CURED two days earlier this testimony
would have been incompetent. After ,
completing her testimony in court, Mrs. |
Beam went to Presumption to be at her
mother bedside during the few re
naming days of Mrs. McArdle's life.
The funeral services will be held to- |
morrow morning at Presumption, where

- cSsssY EVENENG GOWN OF PINK TULLE MADE
al ATwNV OVER 14IUV WITH GARIAND5 TRED ROsES

while the very jewels are chosen with ref
erence to what shall be the most effective.
1t is this close attention to the details that
makes the fashions of this winter seem so
especially attractive.
Many of the new materials and colors,
while they are in themselves effective and
distinctive, are not becoming. Then comes
the problem If they can be made Soft
folds of white chiffon tulle outlining the
shoulders, narrow ruchings of cream white
malfnes or Valenciennes lace, the edge Just
showing above the folds of the waist, make
a most singular difference in having the
gown becoming or unbecomiug. A bright
pink liberty satin gown, with touch of
salmon in the coloring, would be too trying
ever TO the most perfect beauty, but with
folds of lace across the top of the waist
and tiny lace ruffies at the top of the
sleeves the color is at once made exceed
ingly becoming. blue that is too vivid
is toned down by the same means, and in
fact there are few of the more striking
colors that are not materially improved by
the white against the skin-that is, are
made more becoming thereby, while oddly
enough white trimmings are not always
smart. Then, too, the tulle or lace is so
much softer and the lines of velvet or satin
close to the skin often too hard to be
becoming. A white satin gown embroidered
in silver pailettes and rhinestones is good
example of this. The color was at first
most becoming, but the moment there were
put folds of tulle which We're put a few
spangles of rhinestones and silver pailettes
that moment the gown was charmingly be-
coming and attractive and all owing to
the tulie being so soft.
Empire and princess gowns are growing
more popular, in truth the styles, both of
them, are gaining in beauty every day.
All the heavier materials, such velvet,
satin and silk, are in demand for the prin-
cess style, while for the empire the lighter
fabrics are the most suitable. The long,
sweeping lines of these models are 50
charninsly graceful it is not remarkable
they are popular, and every day sees al
Improvement in the way they are made,
for even the amateur dressmakers are learn
ing to solve the problem of how to cut and
fit such a gown. The corselet skirt, in it
self most hdeous fashion, has helped
this evolution, for the skirt of the princess
model can easily be copied from it, and
the too severe and ungraceful lines of tho
waist may be softened by the shaping of
the material across the front Of the waist
part of the gown by the trimmings of

of the waist, the front pleat and either side
of the top row of lace.
The drawers now being made at fash
ionable places are very full and also very
wide, SO that they look decidedly like
skirts. They are closed in the back with
buttons and are mostly trimmed with Va
lenciennes and beading Less trimming is
Put on the drawers than on any other gar
ment of fashionable underwear.
One of the newest petticoats for street
wear is the taffeta, with guipure incrusta-
lions. The skirt Is plain over the hips and
close fitting to the knees, whence 1t curves
out very decidedly. From the knees down
to the f1ounce rows of shirring are set in,
there being ten rows in all. From the bot
tom row of shirring a very full fiounae
falls. The bottom of the flounce is I'M
trimmed. but bands of guipure are laid
across the shirring in long points, one row
Of points falling over the top of the fiounce
and the other row on the shirring about
midway. Each point is fastened with a
large chou of the taffeta, in the center Of
which is a guipure motif. Above the points
is row of diamond shaped chous, having
giupure centerS.

folds OF velvet, tulle or lace, or a band Of
passementerie
Chiffon velvet princess gowns are soft
ened by the lace on the waist or by folds of
tulle or chiffon or by bands of embroidery
with glistening pailettes. The colors-ross.
PINK, blue, etc.-are the same as are chosen
Tor the gowns of the other STYLES already
described, and the same color schemes can
be carried out as in the other models Satin
and SILK gowns are made on the same lines
as the velvet and it is by no means neceS-
sary, in order to secure the best effects To
use the most expensive qualities NeItbar-
Is 1t thought necessary to trim the skirts
although many of the skirts are trimmed
with heavy band of embroidery iust
around the hem with lace insertion or
with the always faYorite embroidered lace
in applique effect-in other words. individ-
ual taste can be exercised here as in any
other style of gown this year and for those
who care for elaboration fashion provides
many charming designs while those Of
simple tastes can have also a wide choiee
in the severe lines and in the rows of
shirrings and puffings that show such eX-
quisite handiwork
The lace and embroidered net gowns,
maze up over satin, are charmingly at
tIacttve and decidedly picturesque. The
hoaung draperies of Il ansparent materials
fall loose from the shoulders and are held
in at the waist line by broad satin sashes
and bodices. The Vatican pleat in a most
ldeailzed rendering, is seen in the elaborate
tea gowns, While the empire design is cnI-
phaszed by the material loose from the
bust and the upper part of the waist fin
ished with bands of heavy embroidery
folds of velvet The figure is clearly out
lined in the close fitting lining of satin or
silk in the princess shape. These fashions
have been so often described in detail there
would seem to be little left that could ,e
said in reference to them, and yet
illustrated every week and every day, there
comes to notice more new reading of the
styles that make them worthy of notice.
One time Ii is the fabric another time the
some absolutely new device give such u
totally different appearance to perhaps ex-
actly the same model that it seems quite
like new idea.
In a way this is the most satisfactory
part of the whole season In which to order
new costumes for the tailors and modistes
are less rushed in their orders and can
give more Individual attention and SUPER
vision.
