Hall of Humble Cottage Lodge
No. 10 F. & A. M.
Opelousas, La. September s, 1914.
Whereas, Death has again invaded
our sacred portals and has cut down in
it's fatal path of destruction our beloved
brother George W, Kelly.
Therefore be it resolved. that in the
demise Of Brother Kelly, masonry and
especially Humble Cottage Lodge No.
10. have sustained a severe and ire
parable loss, for he was a sincere and
Jealous mason, always ready for duty
and willing to give his services to the
craft. The community has lost an up
rioht and honorable citizen; always
striving to do what in his judgement,
he thought would be good for the
masses. He was true to his friends,
kind and charitable to those who differ
ed withthim. His family has thus been
deprived of that love and protection,
which have always been his foremost
aim. He was a devoted and loving
father, always striving to contribute to
the happiness of his family to the full
extent of his abilities.
Therefore, be it further resolved,
that we sincerely moan the untlnely
death of urbeloved brother and that
we mingle our sympathetic tears with
those of the bereaved family, whom we
commend to the protection of Him who
knows best and does all things well.
But they must remember that: ut IS
through the gates of Death that we en-
ter into the place of wages, refresh
ment and rest. The Grand Master OF
the Universe, before whom we all bow
in alteration, and whose all seeing eye
las marked our labor in the lodge be-
Nv, promises to spread before US in
tie Celestial lodge above, all the joys
aid glories OF his eternal sabbath;
Eere the Master and Apprentice shall
ID down together levelled by the
Aong hand of Death in the compan-
iRnship Of the grave, where all Il en-
biems shall become significant, and all
the designs of the Trestle Board COM
pleted; there all perfect wisdom shall
be given us to understand the eternal
purposes of the Divine Architect, and
there the scales shall fall from our
lives, opened upon eternal things.
! Death loses all its terrors when llluml-
mated by the light Of Truth.
Be it further resolved, that In token
of respect of our deceased brother, the
Jewels and implements of this lodge be
draped in mourning and the members
wear the usual badge of mourning for
thirty days.
Be it further resolved, that these res
.olutions be spread on the minutes and
a copy thereof be sent to the family un-
der the seal of the Lodge, and that they
be published in the Opelousas paper.

ly In strange, even garish, colors. they
have, of course, to be used with dis
erection even in this season when deli
cate, harmonious colorings have given
place to bolder treatments.
And as for the taffetas-all that the
designers promised of them has been
fulfilled, and more. They have never
been so lovely. Delightful things that
were never thought of In the old days

TO DECORATE DINING ROOM
Pottery and chinaware Should Be Sc
lected With Good Deal Of Taste
and Discretion.

II you have blue dining room and
have some really good Japanese or
Chinese porcelain, or china In blue
and white. use 1t, and use nothing
else, unless it be some interesting lit
tie Japanese or Chinese knicknacks In
brass-a gong or tiny idol perhaps.
Wedgwood is a beautiful plate-rail
decoration If 1t is used alone; but un-
fortunately, there are few who pos
sess enough of 1t to furnish a whole
plate rail.
II modern pottery is used, 1t Is well
to choose the whole furnishing of the
plate rail at once. There is certain
brown and cream colored ware in the
market now that could be used ef-
fectively in the room where yellow
or brown predominates. The ware is
decorated with peasant scenes.
There are many good designs in
royal doulton of various sorts that
can be chosen. Only they should be
selected with definite idea in mind
of the other pieces with which they
are to rank and Of the room they are
to decorate.

Each individual maker works out hel

A charming idea was developed In

BABY's NEEDS IN SUMMER
Lightness Of Clothing Is One of the
First Requisites During the Hot
Weather.

Warm weather is a dangerous pc
riod for children, and all mothers
dread the summer for their little ones.
AS the weather grows warmer and
warmer, fewer and lighter clothes
should be worn by the baby. So
many mothers have mistaken idea
that flannel bands must be kept
around baby's abdomen, next to the
skin. no matter what the weather.
The treatment is not only wrong. but
actually cruel.
To keep flannel next to the young
sensitive skin when the weather is so
hot that every turn of the little body
against the flannel causes severe ir-
ritation Is almost barbarous. Yet how
many mothers believe in it! There
are fewer each year. for which we
should be grateful, but still there are
left large enough number of such
deluded mothers to keep a great many
babies in comparative torture during
the summer time.
The little body should feel nothing
but the sheerest, softest materials
next to it. When 1t rs very hot the
young baby may be totally undressed.
except for his little shirt. During the
hottest hours of the day the little one
should be placed on wide bed
dressed in this garb, or rather lack

they went staggering down together,

1t was bedlam then, followed by a
breathless hush as Sis-e-te-wah pressed

riors lifted Lappin to his feet, and,
as his gripping hand plucked out the
knife from the wound, l saw the gush
of blood crimsoning the dead mans
side. An instant the victor stood
glaring down. reeling in weakness, up
held by others. Then he laughed, wav-
ing the dripping blade.

the expression of the woman's up
lifted face, the quick glance she cast
about, as though In silent warning to
me. I took it as a signal, message
of restraint. The fur trader. burly and
brutal, still painting for breath, yet
able to stand alone now, and conscious
Of his victory, thrust his reeking knife
back into his belt with coarse laugh.

her face.

Silver and Gold Laces.

Silver and gold laces. woven with
an extremely open mesh and showing
large flower designs, are favored for
trimming the evening frocks of the
more expensive class.
Tassels of silk or beads Of unusually
large proportions appear on suits, aft
ernoon frocks and evening costumes.
The latter are adorned with handsome
white silk tassels.
Buckles play an important part in
trimming the pretty frocks. They are
jeweled with brilliants or colored
stones and enameled in designs which
suggest the dainty dresden china pat
terms. Other buckles are embroidered
with heavy silk or braid. or fashioned
of silk In odd design.

those dark faces, with wild eyes and
dangling hair; the waving arms, and

crouched low beside the motionless
body. Ugh! but dreaded to touch it,

red glimmer, met my gaze, it was like
looking into my own. For an instant
it seemed as If I stared down at my
