be greatly missed in his home and
Red Oak Grove Sunday School, Of
which he was a faithful member.

A Bridal Wreath.

Blooming cactus of the night;
Butterfly, and song, and story,
Falling star, and fading light;
Fallen house, and fallen nation,
Crumbling rock, and changing scene,
Tell us plain, "In all creation,
Only love is evergreen.
When the cypress and the cedar
And the myrtle and the pine
Sleep in sombre dust and ashes
With the ashes of the vine:
When. the wreck Of worlds s2com-
plished,
Suns shall fall and skies carea,
God-and His--shall live forever.
For His love is evergreen.
And the love that, God implantoG.

Be your heritage, our sister,
Be your food and drink and bycath,
That in wealth or need, undauntel,
That in health or pain, serene,
You may find unfading comfort
May your joy be ever green.
In the land your fathers gave you,
Or, who knowsH in lands afar.
May a faith unfading guide you
Like never setting star,
In sky unclouded ever;
And may garlsnds evergreen
Bind forever and forever

Pleasant Occasion.

who is greatly beloved for herself,
and honored for her works sake, a
most delightful shower was given
by Mrs. Mamie n. Tillman at her
home on Monday afternoon, the
guests being the bridal party and
the members of the Young Woman's
Auxiliary of which Miss QUITS has
been the devoted and efficient lead
er for several years. Other guests
of honor and those who were pres
ent to add beauty to the program
for the afternoon were Rev. and
Mrs. John Lake, Mrs. R. G.. Shan
nonhouse, Mrs. J. R. Tompkins and
DR.. and Mrs. Jeffries.
Mrs. J. R. Tompkins whose sweet
and inspiring voice has lent pleas
ure on many occasions, sang Loves
Whispers" and Mrs. John Lake
told in her winning and vinsome
way some very interesting customs
in regard to Chinese marriages and
engagements. Mrs. Lake knows
just how to relate incidents in such
q way as to impress those who lis
ten as if they were really there and
saw it, and this talk was the most
charming we have heard on this
subject.
Mrs. Shannonhouse followed this
talk with beautiful vocal solo
"Felice," beautifully adapted to
her voice, and to the pleasant occa-
sion. A vocal duet, 20 that we two
were Msying," was sung by Edge
fields two gracious singers, Mrs.
Shannonhouse and Mrs. Tompkins.
But Edgefeld can produce every
thing which is needed for any occa-
sion and now came the time for the
gift Of poetry to lend a peculiar zest
to the occasion Rev. John Lake read
to Miss Eileen one of his beautiful
poetic productions, specially pre-
pared for the occasion, and it con-
cluGes this description, so thai all
may enjoy it, for his gifts belong
to Edgeield.
Afterathis beautiful and unique
ss ssS5 ,sS strg, heBaery thrilling In
cident occurred, when Eupf rep-
resented by little Allen Samuel,
came into the parlor in chariot of
white, bearing gifts. of fine linen to
the bride-to-be. These she opened,
and admired, as we'll she might, for
they were JOY to look upon, even
by those who were not the recipi-
ents of such bounty. And while
this was engaging some, others
were ad.niring the lovely Cupid
who had been 80 generous and
thoughtful.
On slips of paper, each guest was
invited to write verse containing
q good wish to the bride. These
were read aloud by DR.. Jefries, and
were inspiring, pathetic and anus
ing in turn. Miss Mamie Cheatham
proved to be the poet of the occa-
sion, and was presented with gold
pin, the badge of the Young Wo-
mans Auxiliary.
After these pleasant events were
over, the guests were invited to the
dining room, tastefully decorated
in white and golden rod, the colors
of the organization. Here the most
refreshing cream and richest OF
fruit and pound cake were served,
and when this was enjoyed and the
guests looked out to see how long
it would be before sunset-lo the
evening shadows had stolen quietly
but gradually over the face OF
mother earth-and it was night
and the time of sad parting had
come. a Guest.

consequence in actually stopping the

Practical Hints On the Art of Re-
novatinQ.

noVatinS.
For washing linen SUITS said an
expert laundress, use only the best
white soap and never rub the soap
cloth unless there is a lot of
hard dirt to be taken out. In the ma
jority of cases the suits soak for an
hour or so in soapy water, putting
them in when the water is quite hot.
BY the time it is cool enough to per-
NIT washing freely the soiled parts
are sufficiently soft to admit of clean
ing without very much scrubbing.
Rinse in several waters, always until
the last water is perfectly clear, then
pass the garment through the stiffen-
ing water, after which it is pressed as
dry as possible in the cotton sheet.
some stiffening is necessary to
give the linen the appearance of fresh
ness which it has when it comes to
you from the tailor On the other
hand, the greatest care should be TAX
en- not to have too much stiffening
That ruins the appearance of what
would otherwise be a perfectly wash
ed suit You want just enough to
give the linen body and yet not take
away from its suppleness.
IN washing colored linens. except
ing tans and browns, color all the wat
ers and try always to avoid putting
soap on colOred linen, and also do not
use water hotter than blood heat, al
lowing the linen to soak only a few
miuu es before washing it out and put
ting it in a second water of the same
waters are generally enough for a
temperature and colored. Where the
suit is not much soiled two will be
enough. The stiffening water must be
colored just as was that in which the
washing and rinsing was done.
after wringing in the cotton sheet
care must be taken in hanging both
coats and skirts for the drying pro-
cess. Fresh air for colored linen and
sun for the whitehall is the ideal
driving process. House drying never
gives the satisfaction that a good
laundress wants for her work. Steam
drying should be a last resort. 1t
injuries the texture of the goods and
leaves the colors less brilliant
The figures on which suits get their
final shaping are the kind used by
good dressmakers and tailors. l have
all sizes and covered so that the suits
get as nearly as possible the shape
of their owners. keep the figures ar
rayed in fresh petticoats and shirt
waists. and when the freshly washed
suits are to walk into my shaping
rooms, Each suit is taken from the
figure and placed in it's box for ship
ment Great care is taken to see that
every part Of it is perfectly dry"

TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS LOVE
Daughter of okIahoma's Governor
Writes Proclamation


Mothers Day will be observed in
Oklahoma this year The proclama-
ton calling upon the people of the
State to pay tribute of love and re-
spect to their mothers was written by
Miss Lorena Cruce, the 16-year-old
daughter OF the Governor.
AS Miss Cruces mother is dead, the
young woman is the FIRST lady of Ok
lahoma" She is the idol of her faith
er and a favorite in the younger soci-
ETY. set Of Oklahoma. Miss Cruce is
a student at the Central University, at
Edmond, 16 miles from Oklahoma
City, and makes the trip to and from
school every day by trolley.
Miss Cruces proclamation was writ
ten at the request of her father, and
ID as follows:
ITO pay tribute to the patient, Low
ing mothers now departed from our
midst, and to honor and reverence
those left with US an international
honor day has been designated by the
CIVILIZED nations of the earth.
The sweetest treasure that life con
tains is your mother, who, dwelling
here on earth, is more a part of heav-
en--but, whether with you or above
with the angels, she is your mother
still. Your mothers love is eternal,
living on when youth has faded, when
other love has withered and been for
gotten and when the leaves of friend
ship have fallen.
Nothing that we can ever do can
remove the debt of gratitude we owe
our mothers nothing can repay them
for their patience, purity and loving
kindness; but on this day dedicated to
them We can in a small yet sincere
way show our thoughtfuiness of and
gratitude to them to whom it is given
to garden the earth with the roses of
Heaven.
1T is fitting that we as a nation and
as a State honor these workers of
God, though they aspire not to fame;
though they seek not popular APP
plause, yet is their worth recognized
and admitted by all who are capable
Whereas, l, Lee Cruce, Governor
of the State of Oklahoma, do hereby
proclaim Sunday, the twelfth day of
May, 1912, as Mothers Day, and re-
quest each citizen Of Oklahoma,
whether old or young, rich or poor,
happy or sorrow laden, TO remember
her whose love passeth human under
standing and, remembering, manifest
to the world your love and gratitude
by wearing a white carnation in honor
of the dearest of all mothers, and.
wearing it, think of her and love her.
'In testimony whereof l have set
my hand and caused the great seal of
the State of Oklahoma to be hereunto
affixed at my office, in the city of Ok
lahoma City, State of Oklahoma, this
sixth day of April, 1912.

Governor of the State of Oklahoma.
