Obituary..

Brother Luther S. Howard died at
Huttig, Ark, October %, 1903, from an
injury received while making up his
train.
Luther was only q years old, but had
proven himself so worthy OF confidence
that he had been promoted to the re-
sponsible position of conductor. He
was Il very bright young man and would
have taken high place among railroad
men.
He professed faith in the Christ in
1894 and joined tie Glen Allen Baptist
church, and was faithful until death.
He only lived twenty minutes after re-
ceiving the injury. His last words were
words of assurance, spoken to his manly
brothers, who were doing everything
possible for Luther's relief. He request
ed that they grieve not for him, for he
was going TO a better world.
Luther was son of Allen and Laura
Howard, grandson Of Rev. H. F. Tong,
one of the most beloved Of men.
The large congregation which assem-
bled on the day of his funeral was a last
ing testimonial of the esteem in which
he and family were held by the people
of the community where he was reared.
He leaves a wife and child, d mother,
three brothers, two sisters and a great
number of friends to mourn their loss.
After the services, conducted by Rev.
w. A. Davault, in the Baptist church,
the body was laid to rest by the Masonic
lodge. The ceremony was beautiful as
we'll as very impressive. 1T was pleasing
to see these strong, manly men comfort

Mid Summer Hats That Are Charming

This embroidered frrl could hardly be
called a friIl. since II was not pulled at
all. but fell flat over the straw brim saw
at the Sides, where It was gathered up into
frflly little knots. A band OF pink velvet
ribbon ran puSnly around the crown and
was knotted at each side among the soft
batiste folds, strings OF the ribbon falling
from these knots, to be tied under the
wearer's chin.
One is tempted to go on and on with
descriptions Of Charlotte Corday models,
but this is only one Of the delectable ideas
illustrated in the midsummer millinery.
Wide brims dropping low all around save
for a rolling curve upward at the left, low
wide mushroom shapes, picturesque Leg

and ~innumerable others are offered; flower
laden. ribbon trimmed. tulle swathed,

Never have milliners made better use
OF ribbon and never have they had more
beautiful ribbons to use. Many smart
hats are trimmed only In ribbon, but even
here az artist hand differentistes the truly
smart hat from the ordinary one. There's
q wonderful art in the inspired handling
Of ribbon, which is beyond the attainment
of many a milliner who can get good
effects with plumes or flowers.
One Of the very chic ideas in the trim
ming Of the simple morning hat is the
combining Of plated lingerie frills with the
soft ribbon trimming. A wide trimmed
high crowned hat Of white chip, for ex-
ample, will have a wide scarf Of black
satin swathed round it's crown and tied in
a big bow at the right side-the dropping

ming this season. Around the top Of this
scarf runs an outstanding plated frill edges
the ribbon used in the bow or encircles
the big soft knot substituted for a bow.
This makes an admirable morning hat
and is pretty in white and color, though
not so chic as in the white and black.
