Elder J. n. Roulhac.

The subject of this sketch was born
October Is, 1888, and passed out of this
life into the realities of the better world
September %, 1909. He was thus near
seventy-six years old when the death
angel came and called him home.
Bro. Roulhac was educated at the
famous old Franklin College in Middle
Tennessee which was then presided over
by Elder Tolbott Tanning, who was a
leading minister and educator in the
Christian Church in those early days.
Taking a full and thorough college
course he entered the practice of law at
Hickman, Ky, where he remained for
many years and ranking as one of the
foremost legal lights IN Western Ken
lucky. He later entered the ministry
of the Christian Church, in which high
calling he labored hard and very sue
cessfully until impaired by declining
years and failing voice he was forced
to give up regular preaching. He,
however, loved to preach more than
anything else and preached OCCASION
ally, as he felt able, until late years he
was compelled to give it up. He served
as evangelist Of Western Kentucky for
some years under the auspices of the
Kentucky Christian Missionary Associa-
ton. During this time he held many
great and successful reviyals adding to
the church many hundred souls. He
also held many meetings in West Tennes-
see. He served some years as pastor of
the First Christian Church in this city,
and to the day of his death he was loved
and reverenced by that entire congre-
CATION
Bro. Roulhac was a man of profound
learning, large information and extern
siye acquaintance with books, men and
events. He was a great reader and kept
his reading up until almost the very
last. AS a man he was ind-hearted,
sweet-spirited and deeply devout He
spoke unkindly of nobody and lived on
the most amicable and peaceable terms
with all. He was a man of strong con
politically and religiouSly, and !
one of his strongest and noblest qualities
was his answering devotion to his con
ception of truth and right; yet with it |
all he was generous and tolerant and |
broad. In word he was a polished
christian gentleman.
Bro. Roulhac was singularly blessed |
in his declining days in having the CON
slant care and thoughtful oversight of
bis noble companion. She gave her
very life to him and cared for him as
and tenderly as if he had
been babe. The community sympa-
thizes with Mrs Roulhac deeply and |
shares with her the sorrow of this be-
praying that the God of all
comfort will be her strength and stay.
The funeral was held Monday at 10
0 o'clock at the First Christian Church,
conducted by the pastor and Elder A.
j. Myho of Nashville He was then
laid away to rest in East View Cemetery
under an embankment of beautiful and |
sweet flowers. He leaves, besides his
widow, two children-Mr Sam Roul-
hac, of Memphis, and Mrs. Gordon, of
Florida-to mourn his death.
A noble man has gone and he shall
be greatly missed. But ''he rests from
his labors and his works follow him. /"

Scant frocks and ample draperies,
tight sleeves and full sleeves, pleated
skirts and gored skirts, shortened waists,
normal waists, elongated waists, long
coats and in fact whatever best suits
your taste and figure-this appears to
be the latest edict of fashion. In cos

and these usually follow the Moyen
Age characteristics. An exquisite gown
which seemed to combine the features
of several modes made quite a sensa-

was of light but not vivid old rose,
French serge trimmed with self-toned
Soutache. 1t had front panel which
extended from low-yoke depth to below
the knee, a gored underskirt formed
the foundation, over this at the sides,
between the front and back panels, is
circular tunic, attached to the bodice at
high waistline and falling below the
knee but not quite as long as the panel.
The sleeves and yoke were of old rose
chiffon covered with straight lines of
soutache in the same color The shape
of the sleeve was of the narrow bishop
style with cuff five inches wide of gold
net over chiffon. Under chiffon of the
yoke was white lace which also formed
the collar. Coats and skirts are shown
but the waists or blouses invariably
match them in color.

WALKING sKIRTs ARE SHORT.

The comfortable and sensible length
in walking skirts is still in vogue in
spite of the small fraction of dressmak-
ers who strove to have woman adopt
the street-sweeping style. Even Paris
has adopted the short walking skirt, af-
ter having held out long and stubbornly
against what French women have here
tofore considered a gauche and ungrace-
full mode.
NEW HATS HAVE ROLLING BRIlfs.
The much cherished mushroom shape
has at last relinquished its supremacy
in favor with those with curled up
brims. Some of these turned up
slightly but all around while others
flare up precipitously at the side or even
at the back. The cavalier hat rolling
high on one side is repeating its success
of last summer. All feather turbans
are in evidence again and appear in
beautiful shadings. A simple and eff
fective hato medium size with rather
wide brim rolling but slightly at the side
had a rather high crown which was
bound round with pleated satin. Stand
ing upright against the crown was five
or six inch jet buckle, through which the
pleated satin was drawn and beyond
which the end of the satin protruded in
a sort of frill. Lucy CARTER.

This Peculiar Food 10 to the Native a.
Bread 10 to Us.

Bread 10 TO Us.
What bread is to the American or
European poi is to the native Ha-
waiian. No meal is complete with
out it, and for the great majority
of the natives it forms the princl-
pal article of diet. While they prob
ably could at the present time live
without this accustomed dish, the
time once was, before the advent of
the whites to the islands and the in
PRODUCTION of new foods, that life
without it would at least have been
precarious.
Poi is made from the tuberous
root Of the taro plant, a species OF
the caladium family, of which the
well known elephant ear plant is
also a member. The tuber, which
averages in size that of large
sweet potato, is baked and after
ward pounded up with water until a
smooth white paste is obtained,
much resembling wheat flour
paste, except that the color is a
pale pink or purple, dependent
upon the variety of taro used. This
paste is allowed to slightly ferment,
or sour, when it is ready for use.
In olden times each family prepared
its own poi, the work being done by
the men, as in fact were most other
cooking operations. At the present
time poi factories in which machin-
cry grinds the taro and mixes it on
a large scale have largely supplant-
ed the old hand method. The Chi
nese of the territory have come to
be the leading manufacturers Of the
product.
Many of the white residents of
the islands eat poi to almost the ex-
tent as the natives, but the taste is
largely acquired, and strangers sell
dom care for it. Poi has high
food value, and, since it formed the
principal article Of diet of the old
Hawaiians, some persons have cred
tied it with the splendid physical
development of the race.
Poi was always eaten from wood
en- bowls, or calabashes, and was
conveyed to the mouth by the fin
gers, one, two or three being en-
ployed, according to the consistency
of the food, which also establishes
designation of one, two or three
finger poi. White poi eaters now
usually employ a fork or spoon in
lieu of fingers, although it is still
common even in the highest fami-
lies to give native dinners, or luaus,
at which knives and forks are ia
boocd and fingers only used. There
is as much etiquette among the Ha
waiians in eating with the fingers as
with modern table implements, and
the graceful motion by which por-
ton of poi is twisted upon the fin
gers and transferred to the mouth
would not shock the sensibilities of
the most refined. An invitation to
a real luau, at which poi, baked pig,
fish baked in leaves and cocoanut in
various forms form the principal
part of the menu, is something that
is always looked forward to by every
visitor to Hawaii and always pleas
antly remembered afterward.
