 She testified that the trouble had made a wreck of her mother and that there had '. I'll no affection between her mother and her father for the last few years. She made it plain that she was opposed to her sister-in-law, the defendant, coming into the family, as she considered her an undesirable ! member. but she said she never saw her mother treat the defendant any therwise than as a lady when the de- fendant was at the mothers house.

SPRING MILLINERY HINTS.
What is Favored in Colors, Shapes and Trimmings This Season-Many Low Crowned Models Shown.

Looking over the spring millinery offerings, the favored tints this sea son appear to be sand, Belgian blue, putty, sea green, old rose, battleship gray, shell pink, myrtle green and AL pine gray. with of course combinations of black and white, the last always good.
 Flat, low crowned shapes are in the front rank of favor. Novelties are scalloped Leghorn hats, to match the modish skirts.
 Just what is meant by flat hats may be gathered from the fact that a charming model shown Wednesday was sailor in pale pink French crepe in shadowy coloring, with a. crown only an inch and half high. For trim ming it had miniature black and white wings, tiny bouquets of buds match ing the hat color and it was faced with black. When worn, it was exceedingly effective.
 Transparent models are promised a great vogue. One admired yesterday was developed in dainty lavender chif- ion and had a yelled wreath of roses and pansies between the materials of the brim. Narrow plum velvet ribbon encircled the crown, falling in chic streamers from a double bow at the back.
 The Scotch turban holds it's place in favoritism this spring. A model great ly admired is of satin crown, witfs brin1 and big loops in the barnyard straw so popular this year. The trimming is a single pink moss rose. Fruit is closely crowding flowers in popularity and there are many ef- fectiye garnitures which are eombina- tions of fruit and flowers. A flat, low crowned hat on view yes terday was of changeable taffeta, trim med with a foliage wreath and the most realistic raiSinS imaginablei It's | smart finish is a heur de lis bow ir | shell pink.
 Very effective was a poke in Tuscan straw, it's brim covered in Belgian blue l chiffon a twist of blue ribbon about the crown. It's trimming was a wreath of French roses, foliage and lilies o1 the valley. with a bouquet of the flow
 CTS at the back, under the brim. To inspect these and similar spring
 models just now is a delight. Where they are on view is indicated

THE FOOD QUESTION
 THE MOST IMPORTANT
Rev. C. Fl. Rioketts Made This His
 Subject at Shop Meeting.

The shop talk held under Y. M. c. A. auspices on Wednesday at noon at the plant of the Richmond Radiator com pany was of unusual interest as given of the Greeneville Congregational church. Rev. MT. Ricketts chose as his topic, The Food Question.
 Tn the early stages of the present war;" said the speaker, most people thought that the strongest factor was the Belgian defense, but in a, short while we were forced to change our opinion. When the heavy siege guns of the Germans finally battered down the forts, we concluded that the Ger man artillery was the greatest force in the war.
 Our minds were soon changed again and we came to believe the immense floating battleships the most formid- able implements of war. Still again we were forced to change our opinion when the little submarines in five min- utes, sent the battleships to the bot tom. Without a question the air ma chimes will prove very formidable means of warfare. However, at the present time we have come to find out that the most important thing in war is the matter of the food supply. After all in time of peace the food supply is the greatest question.
 "The moment one is born, one begins to eat and Up to the last day they live, men continue to eat, feed the pody. It is right that we should do this al- though most of us eat too much. We should remember that as necessary as it is to feed the body 1t is also necessary to feed the mind. But the number who feed the mind and body is very much smaller than the number who feed only the body. It is wise to read a good daily newspaper, but to stop with that is a great mistake, There are so many good books and magazines that make food for the mind that it is almost a shame to starve our mental capacity. The most important of all is the feeding of our spiritual lives and the number who do this is lamentably small compared with those who are feeding the body
 Rev. MT. Ricketts went on to say that the Y. M. c. A. has recognized for many years the necessity for de- veloping the whole man for which ii deserves high commendation.
