MRS. c. |. TODD
PASSES AWAY
DIED SUNDAY MORNING AT THE
HOME OF HER SON, TT. TODD,
ON EAST JACKSON STREET.

Mrs c. L. Todd passed away Sun
day morning at 5:45 o'clock at the
home of her son, T. T. Todd, No. $40
East Jackson street
Accompanied by her husband, she
came to Pensacola two weeks ago ex-
pecting to remain only for a two DAYS
visit. The morning after her arrival
she was taken suddenly i'll, her con-
dition growing steadily worse until
death relieved ner. She was always a
faithful and devoted wife and mother
and unusually tender hearted and sym
pathetic.
She was born in South New Lynne,
years of age she, with her father,
mother and brother, moved to Hutch
inson, MINI. They were among the
first settlers in the town and went
through all the privations and dangers
of frontier life, including the Indian
outbreak of 1852.
Mrs. Todd was twice married, her
first husband. Hubert James, having
died at Washington, D. c., on his way
home after being honorably DISCHARGED
from the Union army. She was mar
ried to Calvin L. Todd Oct. 18th. 1870.
The deceased is survived by her
husband and five children, Mr.. VIM.
H H James of Brookline, Mass; Mrs.
VIM. W. Sivright, Of Hutchinson.
Mimi: Mrs. Earl Henderson, OF Mulat,
Fla; T T. Todd, Of Pensac cola, and
J. D. Todd, OF Chicago.
The funeral services were conducted
Monday at O'Clock and the fntermeut
was at st. Johns cemetery.

boudoir are not now so delicate and
elaborate as they were in former sea-
sons. There has been a return to the
handkerchief linen Of medium weight
for these pillow covers. Blind embrofd-
cry is much used again instead of the
eyelet work. 1t is a fashion of the mo-
ment to finish these lingerie pillows
with buttonholed edges, which are
pierced with holes for ribbon. The two
sides of the pillow are held together
by the ribbon run through these holes,
For a young girls summer room or
for dainty guest chamber which is to
be principally used for woman guests,
there is nothing more attractive for
summer use than dimity pillow slips.
These may have ruffles of the dinity
or borders of linen lace.
All pillows meant for summer use
should be made with covers that are
easily removed for the laundry. They
can be made to button on one side or
to lace up with ribbons or cords. The
buttons are more practical for the
lighter fabrics and the cords for the
heavy materials.

PILLOW
COVERS,

Women who are looking about for
materials with which to cover pillows
for use in the country or suburban
houses should not forget the humble
Bingham. 1t is one of the very best
coverings that can be obtained for
cushions that are to have a great deal
of hard wear in the summer. 1t is cool
and light, pleasant to the touch, easy
to sew, and, of course, perfectly easy
to laUnder. Not every one thinks of it
for household purposes, because it has
been devoted almost exclusively to
costuming. Both in the imported quail
ties and the cheap domestic grades it
will be found admirable for a number
Of purposes in the summer cottage and
bungalow.
Green blue or violet Bingham for
couch pillows in rooms whose colors
and general style of furnishing warrant
its use will be found most attractive.
Both plain and figured Bingham is
good and the two look we'll when used
together on different pillows on the
same couch. There are, of course,
many designs, especially among the
expensive ginghams, which would not
be at all effective for pillow covers, but
the checks, polka dots, simple stripes
and plain ginghams are always pretty
sure to turn out well. Some of these
pillows are finished with a border of
cotton fringe, but they are quite as at
tractive without any trimming. They
are also made with plain centers and
figured borders, but here again good
taste usually decides on the plain pill
low as the more desirable.
Old fashioned seersucker or wash
crepe is another material most attrac-
tive for summer pillows. In white or
cream color, with cotton fringe, these
make smart looking pillows.
There is no end of charming linens
which are being used for covering
summer pillowse. Figured linens made
up without any trimming are good.
especially when used with plain linen
pillows on a couch of the same tone.
Pillow covers in natural linen color,
both in linen and cotton, are popular
and are being embroidered in white
linen thread in open geometrical de-
signs or in cross stitch in old fashion
ed sampler designs. The Hungarian
embroidery patterns are also poplar for
couch pillows and the style is a deSira-
BILE one for use on summer fabrics
which are not too dainty and diaphan-
Gus.

afflicted.
Who would not willingly pay its
weight in gold, for blessed medicine
to drive this suffering away and bring
balmy relief to the Quivering, aching

Yet such a price is not asked for
this popular medicine-Cardui. 1t Is
its very popularity that enables it to be

Its popularity is due to it's success and
it's success is proof that it will help
you, even as it has helped thousands

Drop earrings come in a great variety
of designs and run from one-half to

all the new earrings are made to fasten
