and mother Come up higher" to
/ the Mansion in my Fathers house"
Hopes of her recovery were de-
SPARED of on Saturday and tele-
7 grams were sent to loved ones who
hurried to her side and with the
husband and physicians used every
means that human skill and love
could command but without avail,
! for the Lord willed that she should
be with him.
To Mr.. and Mrs. WhitchurCh had
been born on Saturday two bright
babies & boy and girl. And while
the mothers heart yearned to have
the care and training Of these prec-
lous lives it was not to be her priv

should be given for theirs.

was life of devotion to her Lord
and his service. Hers was a bright
experience and her hopes of the
future were clear and bright. She
exemplified the beauty of the Chris
tan life in her daily walk and now
that the pilgrimage is ended she
entered thru the gates into the city
which she sought whose builder
and maker is God" She was ready
and willing to 60 but longed to live
for those she loved, and said, Il
feel that God will spare my life to
take care of my babies" She was
married to Walter c. Whitchurch,
Jan. 3, 1908. To them were born
three children, one having preceded
her to the Eternal City. Theirs
was a happy Christian home.
She leaves a husband, twin babies,
father, mother, three sisters, two
brothers and multitude of friends
to mourn her departure; yet she
awaits our home coming"

Limiting Its Length

NEW YORK. Feb. 12.-Members of
the Woman's democratic club have di-
gressed from suffrage to hat pins. Two
hours OF their latest meeting were
devoted to a discussion as TO the proper
length Of woman's topmost implement

Mrs. Margaret J. Fitzgerald declared
that the present law providing for a
hat pin less than nine inches is dan
gerous- No hat pin, she said. should
extend beyond the crown of the hat.
To emphasize her point Mrs. Fitz-
gerald told OF the narrow escape of
a man on streetcar when a woman
careened against him and her hat pin
was driven into his ear.

"he would have been a dead man"
