Obituary

Died on Friday, Nov, 20. 1908, in
Park twp, Mary Jane Sebring, wife
of A. Sebring, aged Ga years.
Mrs Sebring had been in rather
poor health for some time, but late
ly had rallied to a large extent, and
hopes were held that there would
be full recovery to usual health.
Indeed, so far had this taken place,
that on the Saturday before her
death, she was in Orient greeting
and shaking hands with her friends,
but early in the week of her death
relapse took place. Even then
fatal ending was not anticipated un-
til few hours before her death.
when she lapsed into insensibility.
and passed away peacefully in the
midst of her family and friends.
Mrs Sebring, whose maiden name
was Munger, was born in the state
of Ohio, her family in her youth
moved to the state of Michigan,
where in the town of Schoolcratt,
on Christmas day, 1865, she was mar
ried to her now sorrowing compan-
ion, A. Sebring. Of this union was
born six children Fred R., Bert,
Alfred. Minnie, Coral May, and Leo
Four of these still survive, Fred r.
was killed in a railroad accident
some sixteen years ago, and Coral
May dying at about two years of
age.
Mrs Sebring came with her family
to South Dakota, in 1885, settling
on the farm where she died in Park
twp.
The departed was well known and
had many friends.
Hers was hospitable home and
many friends and neighbors will
miss her. Her courage and tenacity
for an active life were great and
though the infrimity af years was
growing on her apace she would
scarcely allow it to interfere with
her youthful and buoyant spirit.
A funeral services took place at
Orient and were conducted under
the auspices of the Degree af Honor
The funeral sermon was preached
by her pastor Rev. Ernest Holgate.
of Faulkton. after which the remains
were accompanied to their last rest
ing place by very large procession
from Faulkton, Miranda, Rockham,
Miller, and the surrounding town
ships The coffin was hidden by the
floral offerings Of various societis
and individuals all showing appreci-
alton of the deceased. 1t is true,
I'VE shall meet. but we shall miss
her. There shall be one vacant
chair, never to be filled again."

The basket ball game here Satur-
day between the Highmore and
Miller girls, resulted in a decisive
victory for Miller with a score of 9
to 0. The teams were too unevenly
matched to make an exciting con-

to feel proud of their record this
season, as they have not lost game.

THE MERRY WIDOW GOWN.

Mime. Henry Letellier, who is said
TO be beautiful, made a sensation late
" in Paris by appearing at a fash
1onable reception in a directoire cos
tune. The dress, which was cut
close and clinging, was split on the
right side from the bottom to a point
above the wearcr's knees. Consum-
mate art is necessary for the wearing
of such gown properly" We should
say it were rather question of the
wearer's architecture. Net every wo-
man is sculptural.
In the early years of the nineteenth
century American women of the high
est responsibility wore not only what
were called "chemise dresses" with
only single garment beneath dress
OF extremely fine texture, but the
skirts of their gowns were of un-
even length. The left side was made
shorter, either by being looped up
or slashed. No petticoat was worn
under this open robe. When Miss
Patterson, of Baltimore, married Bon
aparte 1t was said that all the clothes
worn by her then might have been
put in a pocket. Alice Morse Earl
informs us that the wedding gowns
of even minister's wives in New Eng
land were of fine organdie or null:
they were scant, so low necked that
they were, indeed "incroyable,' slit
up at one side nearly to the waist.
"a certain sheath slip was worn un-
de- this outer cobweb-desperatel
immodest attire, 1t would seem to
us today" Who knows but that in
the constant shifings and return Of
fashions slit gowns may yet be seen
here in parlors, and even in the street
Boston Herald.
