Heltne and Deason.
Mrs. Hoverson was made the victim
of a pleasant surprise party last Wed.
nesday evening, when some thirty-five
of her lady friends of the United Luth-
eran Ladies' Aid met at her home to
spend the evening together ere Mrs.
Hoverson departs for her new home ut
Beach, in the western part of the state.
The evening was spent in pleasant
conversation, many kindly wishes be-
ing rendered Mrs. Hoverson for friends
and prosperity in her new home. AS a
token of friendly remembrance, Miss
Emma Gullickson, on behalf of the
United Lutheran Ladies' Aid, present
ed Mrs. Hoverson with complete set
of silverware, including knives, forks
and spoons. A dainty lunch was
served.
The regular meeting of the Musical
club was held with Mr.. st. John Baker
last Wednesday evening. The pro-
gram was as follows and excellently
rendered.:

Theatre Hat Problem Solved.
At last the great matinee hat prob
lem has been triumphantly solved by
theatrical manager here, says
Frankfort-on-Main cablegram.
He had the women ushered to seats
on the left side of the center aisle,
the men to seats on the right side. !
The effect was instantaneous. At the
very first performance the women
unanimously agreed to remove their
hats.
New Wrinkles in Jewelry.
Bangles and bracelets galore are
considered necessary for wear with
the long gloves and short sleeves that
prevail on each and every type of
toilette from early mourn to dewy eve.
Gold, silver, platinum and royal cop
per are used. and they are strung to-
gether along the arm in indiscriminate
style.
More odd and fancy pins are con-
sidered necessary to the completion
of the toilette now than ever before.
Two or three for the collar, one for
each sleeve, If it be short, or two or
! three for the cuff, if it be long, are re-
CURED. Little bowed bars set with
little pearls, Turquoise, topaz, anne
thyst, peridot, opal, oliSine or aqua
marine are favored by those to whom
expense is not deterrent, and the
best jewellers are putting them up in
sets in velvet-lined cases that are very
attractive.
Hair nets of spun gold or platinum
wires, with a jewel caught wherever
the wires. are netted, are among the
displays in jewelers. shop windos in
Paris. The makers of imitation jewelry
are finding quite a furore for those,
and for evening wear, with low
couture, they are quite the thing. Upon
high couture, it must be confessed,
that they seem somewhat out of place.
The Dress Materials.
The counters in all the smart shops
are teeming with, perhaps, what may
seemNt once the most exquisite and
the most oldtime of fabrics, and not
only do the materials themselves eff
feet this old-time idea, but the color
ings as well. OF course, they come
back to us under new names; but
those who have grandmothers are
bound to hear many, many reminis-
cences of "the days when your mother
was young, my DEAR" when shopping,
samples, frocks and frills for the COM
ing summertime are under discussion.
Queens gray is revival of those
dainty and delicate shades which not
only the late Queen Victoria, but like
wise the Empress Eugene, used to
favor. The present Queen of England
leans, too, to this tint, and the fact
that all the courts of Europe are
thrown into mourning just now for the
late King Of Denmark will do much
to make this favorite shade even still
more popular with those who aim to
follow fashion in even its most exalted
flights. A period Of three months of
black, followed by the same period Of
half-mourning, usually expressed in
gray or lavender gowns and accessor-
les, is the rule for all the court Of
ficials. ladies in waiting, maids OF
honor and the like. when the court g
thrown into mourning for any rela-
tive of the sovereign. and oftentimes
this latter period is prolonged to six.
months If the season be dull one and
the court is not officially Gin residence"
as 1t is phrased.
Checks, stripes and plaids are ex-
tremely pretty In the mohairs and
siciliennes in this tint; and the compli-
monetary tone Of brown is next
< choice. This latter color has been
somewhat out Of the running for the
past season or two; but 1t is the vivid
and warm coppery browns rather than
the dead leaf tints that were formerly
fashionable that the best retailers are
displaying In the shops and show win
dows. III s5s p; b. e 81. ...5
One fact impresses itself upon the OBJ
server who follows the fashion point
Of view: and that ID that there IL

checks and piaids and stripes. And
