It is no longer the thing to make

mothers taste in dress. No child
should ever De made uncomfortable
or conspicuous by her clothes The
one is detrimental to the bodily de-
velopment. as well as that tranquil
lity which comes from forgetiulness
of SELF which is so necessary for the
childs happy growth Of mind. To
make a child conspicuous panders 70
her vanity and spoils her manners,
and manners are so important a part
Of a girls equipment in future years.
Simple. practical materials are pro-
durable at so little cost, and well
fashioned, ready-to-wear things now
solve the problem OF attire for every
buyer whose expenditures are limit
ed: and other mothers who have the
joy OF decking out their offspring
cannot go wrong. for there is now so
little unsuitable fnery offered for
sale. Fortunately we'll to do people
Of intelligence go IN for simple things.

the better materials and have great
advantage for the home dressmaker
since they almost trim themselves ~

feeling well and was lying upon the
billiard table. Wright asked Samuel
son how he was feeling and then Do.a-
ing TO the rear OF the saloon carried out
his awful deed.
The suicide Is believed % be the cul-
mination of an unhappy love affair I'm
which Wright and a girl IN the east
figured. He talked about a woman and
