In Memory

On the morning of January 20, 1910
ats o'clock, the Death Angel visited
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. K. Frs.
kins and took away their little son,
Luther. Luther was born July 18th,
1908 and departed this life Jan. goth,
1910. He was years, Z months and
days old. All that knew him lovec
him. Luther was an invalid for sew
eral years, yet his life seemed to be
one of joy and pleasure.
Thou art gone, our precious darling,
Never more canst thou return,
A place is vacant,
In our home that never can be filed
Why need we worry an hour
Over the most precious one
For he was called from earth.
To be an angel in Heaven. ~
We know your trials are hard to bear,
For we have trod that same rough road,
But God, my friends, will take your care
For He alone can take your load.
God moves in mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps on the sea
And rides upon the waves.
Forgive these wandering cries, 0 Lord!
Confused with many q tear;
Forgive them where they disyboy
And in Thy wisdom make us wise.
Hill, La. A FRIEND.

MAKE WOMEN LIMP
Hating Walk, Fashionable in

LONDON. Jan. 1i-Wnl tho new
feminine limp become fashionable in
London?
This is the question women are ask
ing on learning the statement that up-
to-date Parlsiennes have affected fas-
cinating little limr,
Most changes of modes necessitate to
certain degree a new manner Of
walking. The directoire gown de-
manded a slow gliding step. the wide
benounced potticoats of former days
caused women TO toddle when they
held mp their skirts. Now comes the
limp. which. It appears, is born of the
polonaiso.
Gowns with the polonaise or apron
skirt have been the rage in Paris" said
q representative of a West End firm,
"aud we have brought over models OF
these gowns 10 London. They are wide
around the feet, but are tied tightly be-
low the knees.
"The return OF the polonaise means
many changes, as there are so many
varieties Some very short skirts are
to be introduced. as worn in Paris,
which reach only 20 the boottops and
display high-loggcd colored boots.
the polonaisc. which IS fastened tight
ly around between the knees and the
ankles.
ANY attempt 10 hold up this style
OF dress would nocessitate some kind
of eccentricity Of walk"
A model new evening gown shown IN
polonaisc fashion is quite short in front
J and with q train at the back. Tho feet
and several inches OF stocking are visi-
| BILE. and the wearer Of this gown would
cause as much sensation as did the
mannequins who first donned the slash
/ ed dlrectoire gowns In Paris.
The limp is a refined form Of contor-
! tion which follows on numerous others
/ 10 which the fashionable woman has
/ had recently to submit.
First. she was allowed TO disclose the
possession of hips, then hips became
an acknowledged asset.
Then there was the geographical
problem of the waist. From the nor.
NAL waist the waistline has been moved
/ To under the arms, the low waist has
/ obtained and the no-waist fashion alse
has prevailed.
