Died.

Little Tommie, only child of ].
A. and Minnie Jones, of Pela-
hatchie, Miss, born December
Il, 1904, died June 3rd 1908. AS
the day of June 3rd drew to a
close and the morrow was being
ushered in, the spirit of this
loving child passed from this
world into tomorrow, to be for
ever at rest with his Lord and to
await the coming of loved ones
left on earth. He was a sweet
and loving child and had brought
many rays of sunshine into the
home and life of his parents
during the three and a half short
years he was there.
Before he was taken sick he
spoke of his little cousin who had
gone to rest a few days before
and said that he would never see
him any more and then said to
his father, when [ get sick |
don't want you to let me die, !"
but when he was taken all that
loving hands and skilled physi-
clans could do was not sufficient
to prolong his stay here. God
thought best to call him to his
home in glory. Our loss is
heavens gain.
He was laid to rest in Spring
field graveyard, there the ser
vice was conducted by Rev. S. G.
Gordon.
There is no deaththe stars
go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled
crown,
They shine forever more. !" E..

by about 100, 600 majority in the

too sensational, or radical, for
each of the three is all right in

caught at the left side with small
rhinestone buckle. ELOISE.
The costume described above would
be ideal when made up in wolfe. for
the season is now too late for velvet.
The silver embroidery could then be
well omitted and darned net could take
the place of the filet lace. 1t IL now
too late to indulge in such toques as
velvet or marabout. but some charming
hats may be made of net. and straw
touues are increasing In popularity ev.
cry day.
The Hungarian aigrettes are not those
feathery affairs popular for SO long:
they are much sitter and heavier, and
are far. neater than the fancy plumes
recently worn.
American women never did take up
the fashion Of wearing shoes three sizes
too large. but the colored tops for pat
ent leather boots are extensively worn,
and they are really most attractive
when the cloth matches the suit. How
ever. the women of France never at
any season wear the half shoes that We
adopt so early in the spring. and it Is
for this reason that the cloth tops will
never become universal in this country.
for we. with our pumps, wear any shade
stocking that suits our fancy.

New Cirdles

NE OST Of the new high belts are
NV finished in one long end with q
' tassel This idea is carried out
even In morning dresses, wolfe or pom
gee, and is becoming to the average
figure. particularly as the new semi
princess dress Is so much the rage. The
belt at present is not fastened directly
around the waist line. but slightly above
it to give the skirt a very long line In
front and on the sides.
Some dresses of light materials are
finished in front directly below the
guimpe In a large bow Of the material.
This is not unattractive for very slim
figures. for it adds several inches to the
bust measure. There will be. owing to
the present increasing popularity of the
guimpe waist, decided leaning toward
the very low line of the corsage. for it
is becoming to every woman, and the
guimpe will add whatever is necessary
for the sake Of modesty. Decolletage,
however. can be overdone, and those
who wish to keep the pretty guimpe in
vogue must do all they can to see that
it is not abused. for a peculiar thing
about fashions is that the moment any
one line is overdQne a reaction is sure
to come.

their place.

spring, while fur must be discarded
earlier. Military fashions are return

peasants may keep their hair.
In fact. the great extravaganza has
brought about a return to great SIM

shoes of two months ago. but again

have tops of antelope or suede and pat

Evening Gowns

come very important thing to have
lace drapery around the back and hips.
The jacket runs over the shoulders and
down both sides Of the figure almost
close to the armholes. It necessitates
all Of the evening dresses being made
with a square neck.
The dresses under the Jackets are
made princess. but many OF them hang
quite loose in front. and are only held
close to the figure by a gold braid belt

tied n a knot in front. allowing the
ends to hang to the knees. To give
the necessary severe line and breadth

Odd Combination In
Spring Suits

VX HITE. that beautiful and al
wv ways becoming color. has gone
out Of fashion. for in the new
cloths shown for early spring stripes
and huge embroidery dots have taken
it's place. and even white linen suits
will not be worn this year. OF course
all of the suits such as have been
worn will be discarded for dresses
with guimpes and cuffs of white lace
and Elton Jackets of some contrasting
color or material. Thus a white fan
mel skirt will be worn with q striped
three-quarter Jacket. or a blue-and-
white stripe linen semi-princess dress
will be finished with a coat Of dark
blue. This new fashion viii be very
convenient for those who wish to
wear the same coat with several
dresses, but it is not so becoming as
the white of last year.

pongee, with the skirts Of the plain
material, while the coats are Elton
