LINCOLN DAY
PROCLAMATION
MEAD HAS DESIG-
MATED FEBRUARY IL AS A
GENERAL HOLIDAY TO DO
HONOR TO MARTYRED PRESI-
DENT.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 1S.-Gov. Mead
has issued the following proclamation
calling for general observance of
the centennial of the birth of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Whereas, The senate and the
house of representatives of the state
of Washington have concurred in a
resolution requesting the governor to
issue proclamation urging the citi-
zens of the state to observe in fitting
manner the centennial of the birth
of Abraham Lincoln; and
,, Whereas, All Americans revere
and cherish the memory of that just
and noble man, whose great heart
felt the sorrows of whole people
throughout the most trying years OF
the nations history, whose undaunt-
ed spirit shrank from no responsible
ity, however grave, and whose lofty
mind directed the ship of state safely
through the reefs and shoals of a Tt
tanic civil war; and
Whereas, The name of Lincoln
must ever inspire such love for the
goodness and admiration of the gran
deur which were the balancing ele-
:Ients of his character that the OBJ
servance of his natal day becomes a
patriotic devotion.
Now, therefore, I, Albert E. Mead
governor of the state of Washington
by virtue of the authority in me
vested, do hereby proclaim that Fri
day, February IL, 1909, the centen-
NAL of the birth of Abraham Lin
coin, ought to be appropriately OBJ
served throughout the state, and
suggest that the people generally
gather in their usual places of assem-
blage and do honor to the memory of
him whose life was gentle, and the
elements so mixed in him that nature
might stand up and say to all the
world, This is a mani"

Grecian women, who lived centu-
ries ago, when women knew how
to address, from hygienic and ar

it the "one-piece" dress, and never
was there a modern fashion so
becoming to tall women as this
one.
Fluffy frills, ruffles and flounc-

ed, and only the daintiest and
least pronounced patterns and
colors be worn by the statuesque
woman.
If the hair must be worn on
top of the head, low flat coils must
be used. But IL becoming, the
hair should be parted and worn

1t is only few years ago that

cruel to ask that blind man or
