In spite of the high wind of Fri
day, Memorial Day Service was most
appropriately carried out here under
the auspices of Russell Post G. A. R.
The veterans met at Grand Army
Hall at 1890 and were escorted thence
to the Municipal Building in a very
diplomatic manner. The march was
lead by the Skowhegan Military Band
followed by the Cantons. Next came
the Boy Scout troupe and following
them the veterans and Sons of Vet
erans. The procession was an i'm
posing one and upon its arrival at the
Opera House, members of the Wo-

The stage, which was occupied by
the officers of the Post, several cler-
gymen and the speaker, was hand
somely arranged with American flags
and special electrical lighting effects
of red white and blue, under the di-
rection of Robert Bigelow.
After patriotic selections played by
the band and prayer by Rev, H. G.
hcGlauflin, Post Commander S. F.
Emerson welcomed those present in
a brief but well chosen address. His
words were cordially spoken, but bore
tnge of sadness, mentioning as he
did the passing out of his brother
James D. Emerson, also a veteran of
the Civil War and paying a
tribute of respect to Congress-
man Forrest Goodwin. Response
was most feelingly made by Judge
Fred F. Lawrence. and then Mrs.

RIBBON RUCHES FOR HATS
Home Millinery Is Greatly Assisted
by the Temperance of This
Fashion.

The fashion of ribbon ruches as hat
trimmings has reappeared, and is usu-
ally adapted to mourning hats. Home
millinery is greatly assisted by this
and by the ready-made leaves and
flowers sold in the shops. Ostrich
ruches for hats also save much trou-
Bile to the home milliner The vul-
ture mount, less graceful than the os-
trich feather, is easily adjusted.
Lancer feathers, though not so fash
ionable as they have been, are still
in considerable demand, and, appar-
emily, are much cheaper than they
were when every smart woman con-
sidered that she ought to have at
least one of her hats trimmed with
them. The straight brimmed sailor
shape seems to be the favorite at the
present moment, but toques are also
fashionable and can be much more be-
coming than any other style.

HOW TO USE RAFFlA
PLEASANT FORM OF PICKUP
WORK FOR SUMMER.
Useful and Attractive Little Additions
to the Summer House Are Easily
and lnexpensively Made by
Clever Hands.

The woman who can handle raffia
not only has a pleasant form of pick
up work for summer at her conn and
but she can make many useful and at
tractive additions to the summer
house.
The rafia, which only costs 10 cents
a bunch, can be bought in three or
four colors-natural color, a darker
shade of brown, perhaps, soft green
and a dark red give promise of inter
esting combinations. If a basket of
rafia is planned for room furnished
in a definite color raffia in matching
or harmoniously contrasting shade
can be bought
One of the useful things which the
raffia worker can make for the sum-
mer house is small flower holders
These are really no more than little
baskets fitted with glass or china
dishes to hold water, but they are very
effective.
A pair Of them on dressing table or
desk gives an artistic touch to a
whole room, and they can be effec-
lively placed in any bare spot. They
are especially good for holding such
short stemmed flowers as pansies,
nasturtiums, forget-me-nots, annual
larkspur, small roses, alyssum, can
dytuft and English daisies.
These little baskets can be made to
fit about old and handleless cups or
deep saucers. In either case the bas-
ket should be narrowed above the top
of the dish to wide neck, and then
should flare at the top. This shapes
the basket like vase and gives good
support for the flower stems.
For these baskets the raffia can be
wound about either heavy cord or
damp willow. Lazy squaw stitch is
the easiest and most quickly accom-
plished of all stitches.
Small mats for holding water glass
es on the bare table, to take the place
Of coasters, larger mats for holding
water carafe, teapot or water jug, bas-
kets of various sizes and shapes for
card trays, work baskets and catchalls
and large, fiat baskets with long han
dies for garden and flower baskets are
all useful and interesting things to
make with bunch of raffia.
