so cstholic that it is difficult to resist
the desire to buy Just one more" It
would be out Of the question to assert
that there is no fashion to guide one

the broad line between this years hats

they give one the impression OF a

not unlike that of the sleeveless coat
worn last summer.
Among the new automobiling coats
the smart loose woven tweeds and
homespuns play an important part.
These coats are all strictly tailor made
models Some of the warm tawny
yellow or russell tones with big but
tons or tortoise shell or mother-of-

severity.

darling, Ethyl Page, who died May 23rd
1901, the only daughter of W. II. and Louise
Page.
LIES charm will soon be ended
And the evening bell will toll,
When our hearts will know no sorrow,
When the pearly gates unfold.
There well meet our darling Ethyl,
Who has journeyed just before.
There we will walk and talk together
On that bright celestial shore,
The last farewell was spoken
Nine years ago to-day.
Our hearts were crushed and broken
When our darling passed away.
Oh, dear Ethyl, how we miss you,
And the smiles you used to bring,
There's home that still Is vacant
OF the songs you used to sing
There sweeps no desolating wind
Across that calm. serene abode,
Our darling there home has found
Within the paradise of God.
There she will meet her angel brothers.
Her loving parents.
