EULOGIzEs LINCOLN

| A number of veterans of the Civil
war, Women's Relief corps, and numer
GUS friends gathered Sunday morning
at the Davis Street Christian church
to do honor to the memories of the de-
parted brothers of the G. A. R. After
communion and short prayer the
audience joined in singing the national
anthem. Rev. Isaac S. Bussing then
announced the subject of his address
as '"The Spirit That Abolishes War.
A glowing tribute was paid to the com
rades present and sympathy was ex'
tended to those who were unable to
attend because of sickness The Rev.
Bussing said that many great men and
leaders had wished for the end of war
but had gomez out to fight for liberty.
There has ever been war, almost from
the beginning of man. Moses was the
first emancipation, leading his people
out from under the cruel despotism OF
Pharoah. The speaker described the
progress of the world, strongly marked
with the fight for liberty, and came
down to the time when the United
States was torn by strife, in the days
of 81. He gave a stirring picture OF
Abraham Lincoln, the friend of the
people of the whole United States and
beloved by the soldiers. He said that
the call of Lincoln for men after war
had been declared was like no other
call ever issued It penetrated the
homes of men all over the north, and
they went out from their native states
to defend the principles that Abraham
Lincoln thought right and just.
Praises U. S. Armies.
The speaker said that there had new
err been armies like the ones which
fought in the war Of the rebellion.
war, as the soldiers in Europe are to-
day, but they came of their own free
will. because they believed that they
were fighting in just cause. He said
the soldiers did not have all the suffer
ing, but that the women who stayed
home also had much to bear. After tell
ing of the bravery of the men who did
the fighting and calling upon the,
people to remember and revere the.
memories of these soldiers, Mr.. Buss-
ing told of THE spirit that abolishes
war"
Arbitration Has Failed.
The first plan as given by some
people, was the increased armament.
IN other words, In times of peace,
prepare for war But this plan the
speaker denounced as wrong, and said
hat the man who can destroy the
greatest number of lives is not as great
hero as the one who can save the
greatest number. The second plan is

the best of reasons, the ankles!-are now plodding about in tailored skirts that might look well if several inches longer
 As has been said, it does not pay to take Fashion too seriously. These abrupt style changes that disconcert the conventionally inclined, are really rather fascinating. Besides, they give many women something to think of whose minds would otherwise be empty. There is not the least harm In a pretty woman fixing herself up according to new fashion fads. Where Is the fundamental difference between putting Q strip of fur around the throat, and putting a strip of fur around the ankle? Neither one may be needed as a protection against cold, but custom accepts the presence of the fur collar and protests at the absurdity of fur-topped walking boots. That these boots are not nearly as attractive as ordinary boots is clearly demon strated in the accompanying illustra-, ton; they break the long, graceful line between ankle and knee, they make the boot top-heavy and undoubt- sdly they catch against the skirt. But why anybody should take it seriously. 10 heart that women fancy wearing tur-topped boots while their fad lasts, 1t is hard to conceive.
 Another fashion fad that Is agitating the alarmists just now Is ruffied stock, Is given also. It is hard for even a

They buy one set-all they can afford, and wash it out overnight, or Saturday night and stay in bed Sunday morning till it is dry" Pressed a little, the saleswoman admitted that she did the very thing herself. Such extrayagance as this on a salary under twenty dollars a week, seems almost incred- lble.
 Hats Are lmportant-And a Problem.
 A really smart hat does cost such a lot of money-unless one has the mili- nery knack at ones finger ends. It is wise business girl who spends a few evenings at millinery school, learn Ing the professional manner of cov- sring hat frames, manipulating mate 'ials and tying bows in the approved way. It is hat shapes that one pays sxorbitantly for nowadays. Trim nings are a minor consideration, and he knowledge how to cover a buck ram frame with velvet, or wire frame with straw braid is invaluable With shis knowledge. the business girl, in an evening at home. can produce hat that she would have to pay twenty dollars for in a shop. Blouses, it does not pay to make. for they may be picked up so cheaply in the shops; separate skirts also.

She never makes the mistake of selecting such a smart and snappy tailleur that its very snappiness will lay 1t on the shelf when it's strik- lng style has become passe. On the other hand, she does not buy, because they are reduced in price, homely, staid- looking styles that have not taken" during the current season.

Is winter raiment that offers the
 big problem to a business woman;
 not spring toggery, which is not
 only simpler and less expensive in character, but also has its time of pro- viding when there has been a good long period-between Christmas and Easter-for necessary saving up." Winter clothes, on the other hand, must be bought just when the pocket book is at it's lowest ebb--after the expenditures for the summer vaca- ton.

This individual, though she may look invariably attractive and well-dressed, does so at a probable greater expendi- ture than she can really afford. After her clothes are bought there is little left for "good times" and she is con stantly in a worried state of mind and a broke condition of finance. The provident maid buys with a long. long look ahead. And she buys carefully, selecting good materials rather than striking styles.
