IAN EASILY CHANGED sAcHET.
Difficulty with Which All Women Are
Familiar Overcome In a Simple
Manner.

The great trouble of the handsome
silk sachets ID that when the scent
fails they must either be discarded or
re-made. A clever young girl who is
fond Of orris root among her belong
ings has overcome this difficulty in
a simple manner.
She makes her sachet cases of
strips Of ribbon. weaving two or more
colors together. just as kindergarten
children weave paper. The ribbon Is
cut In equal lengths. and as many
pieces are necessary as the size OF
the case requires. The best way to
gauge this is TO decide on the size
them divide the length by the width
Of the ribbon to show the number OF
pieces and cut each piece little
longer than the width of the case.
Sometimes the ribbons are woven
into q square. again they are made
oblong. The squares are effective
when folded over into q triangle when
finished.
The sachet powder is sprinkled
thickly ON sheets Of cotton batting, a
little smaller than the woven case.
and slipped inside. Instead of sew
ing It In. the ends of the cover are
tied with narrow ribbon bows. These
are put on according to the shape OF
the sachet, sometimes at the corners
or II 1t IL quite large they must go
on the sides as well.
The raw ends of ribbon left after
weaving are tucked under and fas-
tened with q small stitch. Charm
Ing color combinations can be made
Serviceabls ~ well as decorative
cases can be woven In tones of
brown and ecru or in two shades OF
old blue. More delicate ones are OF
rose pink and silver, lavender and
pale corncolor, baby blue and white.

old-Fashioned Touches.

A number Of new pique gowns Of
ths soft and very beautiful quality are
trimmed In odd early nineteenth cen
tury ways. One has series Of slash
1ngs into which pufangs Of fine white
crOss-barred muslin or dotted dimity
are sewn. these slashings crescent
shaped or placed together to form a
rose or daisy suggestion. These pun
ings trim the whole length of the way
down the front of the gown. Thick
cords Of dimity or of striped organdis
are used In undulated groups on an
other 0ne-piece white piQue gown

Everything now shown, in fact. sug-
gests GOODNESS, guimpes and sleeves

with their unlined nets, tucked gauzes
and open eyelet needlework; while
coats have dropped sleeves entirely
and headgear assumed something like
touch of reason.
Altogether, there Is a rural flavor
upon the town; lowered calico holds
choicer place than silk, as far as the
counter goes, and in the milliner's
window field posies and pale grasses
vie with the farmers fruits for no
tce, their simple prettiness quite put
ting the more gorgeous flowers to the
blush.
The lingerie headgear is most
charming, and though the prettiest Of
this is, of course, for misses and chill
dren, there are very smart muslin hats

A misses gown of almost classic
simplicity is pictured here, but II the
material is carefully chosen q gown

CHURCH CELEBRATES
OUARTO-CENTENNIAL
Banquet and Reception Commemorate
Passing of First Twenty-Five
Years Since Building OF
First Edifice

Twentv-ve years from 1884 to 1909
constitute the quarter century OIL tne
life of the Park Congregational churCn
now located at the corner of IeInple
and Metcalf streets. In eommemora-
tion of the event an anniversary pan
quet and meeting were held at the
church last evening.
The church was beautifully ueco-
rated with pink and white cosmos
against the newly green tinted walls
At $50 O'Clock the banquet began
with a large assemblage of members
and friends participating, which was
deftly served by the women OF the
church.
After the banquet the assemblage
resolved itself into a short business
meeting, following which addresses
were made b.! several visiting clergy
men, including music rendered, Rev
John H. Cooper pastor of the churcH'
acting as chairman.
The beginning of the quarter century
mark of the church was its organlza-
tion with thirteen charter members III
1884, after holding mission service lot
three months in a tent The charter
members were Mr.. and Mrs. j. Mills
Davies, ]. H. Humphreys, Gregory
Perkins and wife, sr., and gregory
Jerkins, jr., Isaac White, Miss lda
White. Evan Jones, Mrs Annie Jones,
Mrs. Nelligan, Mrs. N. A. Henry u.
II. Tomkinson. Mr.. and Mrs. j. Mills
Davies are the only charter members
remaining in the church. In recognl-
ton of the fact that Mr.. Davies was
the oldest member, he was asked TO
give historical address on the church
work.
Stands on Old Site
In 1887 the church was built on the
present site, costing $4,000, includ-
ing the lot Improvements have peen
added to this building from time TO
time. The church membership is now
10, with fiourishing Sunday school
and Christian Endeavor societies. Inc
finances of the church are in good con-
dition with funds in the treasury.
One essential CHARACTERISTIC Is that
during the life of the church IT has
had only three pastors. the tirst pelng
Rev. e. r. Brainard, four years; Rev.
Thomas Hendry, eleyen years. and
the present pastor, Rev. Mr.. Cooper
the remaining time.
