stone," and her mother, Mrs. Thomas,

eft of the International Red Cross So
ciety, a society which has its repre-
sentatives and nurses on every field
of battle and which is recognized as
neutral in its work of alternating sIf-
fering by all the nations of the world.
Mrs. Thomas has volunteered to
furnish all materials, and upon her
invitation the ladies of Palatka who
are willing to work for this good
cause are to meet occasionally to pre-
pare certain articles needed in Red

have luncheon. The trip down the
river from this city was made on the
Bud ILL.," belonging to Mr.. Proost.
The return trip was on Mr.. Johnson's
launch. The ladies spent most de-
lightful day and finished about four
teen surgical shirts. Those present
were Mrs. S. C. Warner, Miss Helen

An Obituary..

In memory of little Flossie Pick
rem, who died in Palatka, Florida,
Dec. 7th, 1914.
Suddenly the "silver cord was loos-
ed" and the spirit of this dear child
winged its flight to the arms of the
loving Savior, who said, "Suffer little
children to come unto me and forbid
them not, for of such in the kingdom
Of heaven"
A bud of much promise, thus early
removed
"To those everlasting gardens
Where angels walk, and seraphs are
the wardens,
Where every flower
Brought safe through deaths dark
portal
Becomes immortal"
She had rounded up her six years
on the 18th day of September, and
joyously entered upon her school life.
A child of the Covenant, she had
learned the way to the Lords Sane
tIary, and delighted to sing the songs,
her favorite one being Little Jew
els" which was sweetly rendered at
her funeral, by the voices of loving
friends.
To the bereaved mother, grand
parents, and two devoted sisters, the
severing of these earthly ties, is in
deed painful, but the comforting
| thought comes that her short pilgrim
age had been happy, gleeful one and
she was spared the toll and pain that
those of maturer years had passed
through before her.
The little form rested in beautiful
white casket amid the flowers, placed
there by loving hands.
In the language of the poet let us
say,
From adverse winds and lowering
storms,
Her favored soul He bore,
And with yon bright angelic forms,
She lives to die no more,
Hope looks beyond the bounds of
time,
When what we now deplore,
Shall rise in full immortal prime,
And bloom to fade no more"
A FRIEND.

coLoREo LUNCHEON SETS

All the embroideries are showing
touch of color, and while all white
is always correct and in good taste,
the sets with color are really very
attractive especially for use during
the summer.
An oyster white linen of rather
firm weave, embroidered in Delft
blue or rose shades, makes delight
full change from all white. Tan lin
en- luncheon sets with scallops and
circle of dots in brown seem par
ticularly made for the summer bun,
galow. A very cool effect can be Sc
cured with oyster white linen EN-
broidered in forest green's. A set
of this kind, too, is very appropriate
for summer cottage use.

ity. Dotted Swiss and marquisette
are two other materials, which rank
very close in popularity to wolfe. Net
in black over white satin or taffeta
as well as white and colored nets are
very smart for elaborate frocks. Pink
and blue nets make delightful even
ing frocks and are trimmed with jet.
The styles of the summer dresses
make II a certainty that embroidery
and lace founcing will be used a
great deal in their development. The
embroidery fiouncings have a back
ground of wolfe and crepe as well as
very sheer lawn and batiste. Organdy
too, is embroidered and makes light
and airy ffouncing for summer dress
es.
The Belgian lace centers are pro
ducing no lace and the French very
little, so most of the imported lace
comes from Plauen or st. Gall
Chantilly, Spanish and Lire, lace are
among the more expensive ones,
while shadow lace may be had in a
wide variety Of designs and prices,
and its light and delicate designs
make exquisite frocks for evening
wear.
Belts and girdles are forming an
important feature on the gowns of
today. Some are plain, and OF the
fabric of the dress 1t is worn with,
others are of contrasting material
and embroidered richly. Some of
the girdles are extended in to what
seems like peasants basques, or wide
girdles, lacing up the back or front
and pointed or rounding, made Of
contrasting silk or of velvet.
Ribbons, especially OF velvet, are
having a strong vogue, as they seem
to belong to the crinoline period of
which so many spring dresses are
designed.
The hats of the year continue to
be mostly small, although few
large ones are to be seen, and very
smart they are, too. This vogue for
small hats has made the wells ex

SOME USEFUL.
INFORMATION

There are, as was long ago point
ed out, two classes of men-those
who make books and those who love
them; that is, literary men and men
of letters. And II has been argued
that the latter are often more liter.
ary--using the word in its best sense
than the former. Certainly with.
out men of letters there would be
few literary men. Most of us, sure
ly, have some recollections of having
read, perhaps in the remote past,
"Pendennis. No one who has read
that classic can have forgotten the
chapter entitled "a Dinner in the
Row." and the moral drawn there
from by the great author Of the book.
1t is that no men talk less than the
makers of books about literature,
and that no people read fewer books.
Whether that is true today, We do
change for the better. Certain 1t
is that Bungays writers did not
shine in conversation. Perhaps they
lacked the brilliancy that marks the
author of our own day-and yet one
of them was, of course, Thackeray
himself who was represented by Mr..
Arthur Pendennis. The question is
one of such delicacy that we hest.
tate to express an opinion in regard
to it. But one thing we venture to
affirm, and that is that there is much
pleasure to be derived from life by
the man who is a mere lover Of books
who would never think of putting
pen to paper. Perhaps the JOY that
he derives from literature Is keener
than that experienced by his more
professional brother.
There is, after all, good deal to
be said for the amateur-provided he
has no professional ambitions, and
is content with his humble lot. He
is, for one thing, never a victim OF
jealousy. There is no work that he
feels bound to admire-not even his
own! Self consciousness is not one
Of his vices, nor self pity one of his
| infirmities. The barb of criticism
never rankles in his breast, for he
has never challenged the judgment
of the world. Rather he himself as
sumes the judicial role, though quite
without sternness or severity. His
willingness to be pleased is one oil
his most charming traits. Nor Is he
afraid to like that which is often
scorned by members OF the writing
guild.
There is in truth a solemn view o.
literature-as of the drama - iron
which man must, If lie Is to ENJOY
either, keep himself free. There II
no crime in enjoying a foolish BOOB
or in being amused by a silly play
Doubtless standards should be KEEP
high. and yet 1t may be that the bes
wav to do this is for each intellisen
man to read naturally, without great
ly bothering himself about them
That assuredly is one Of the PRIV
leges OF the amateur. There Is niuc
