Ribbon As Trimming.

Ribbon is being used profusely as
trimming on both hats and frocks. 1t
ranges in width from the inch wide
faille or more banding, girdling the
waist of the severe little frock of tat
feta or serge, or forming the perky
cockade on the chic chapeau, to the
wide satin, MORE, or taffeta ribbon
which forms the entire skirt or bodic of
the dance frock or dinner Dress In
many of the new dinner and evening
dresses ribbon bows of all descriptions
are used for trimming; there are perky
little bows, wide, graceful bows, sim
pie bows with flying ends tackled on
to bodice and skirt at various angles.
Nine. Jenny is particularly given to
ribbon trimmings; some of her dainty
dresses have their sheer, full skirts
banded around the bottom with wide
metal-edged ribbons, giving them a
most effective appearance.

Jumpers Still in Vogue.

For late spring and early fall, there
is nothing quite as satisfactory as the
jumper dress of taffeta, SERGE or a
soft, lightweight wool. Worn with
guimpes, or over the regulation shirt
blouse of crepe de Chine, crepe Georg-
cite, or taffeta it makes an attractive
costume for street and general day
time wear, perfectly suitable without
coat Or other wrap. Such dress has
all the appeal of a one piece frock, with
the added attraction of being easily
freshened and changed by the addition
OF contrasting guimpe or underblouse.

Obituary
SARGENT.

William H. Sargent was born near
La Fargeville, in the state of New
York. Sept. 8, 1874, where the years
of his youth and early manhood were
passed. He died suddenly at his home
in Clio, Thursday, Feb. II, 1916, of
heart failure following an attack of
grippe.
The call of his country early COM
manded Mr.. Sargent's patriotic devo-
ton and in 1861 he enlisted in the oath
New York Inf. with which he saw &C
tive service for three years and three
months.
Upon his return from the war, in
July, 1865, he was married to Miss
Emogene Marble, of LaFargeville, who
was his loving helpmeet for the re-
mainder of bis life and who still sur
wives him. The young people contin-
ued to live on the family homestead UNI
til failing health compelled Mr.. Sar-
gent to abandon farm work and they
came to Michigan, in 1872, two years
after the great Chicago fire. They
first settled at Flushing, where they
resided three years, and then moved to
farm which Mr.. Sargent had purch-
ased in Birch Run township, where
they remained seven years. Mr.. Sar-
gent then bought farm near Clio
where he resided until Is wears ago
when he became resident of the vii
lage. Mr.. Sargent had filled several
township Offices, having served as
highway commissioner and also as JUS
tice of the peace. being in his third
term as incumbent of the last named
office at the time of his death. He was
also county commissioner for the dis
tribution of aid to needy soldiers and
their widows. In every capacity, as
as husband, father, friend, neighbor,
citizen and official he was admirable
and his passing brought keen sense
of personal loss to all who knew him.
Surviving Mr.. Sargent are his widow
and one daughter, Mrs. H. l.. Hudson
of Clio; also one sister, two brothers
and many lesser relatives who reside
in the state of New York, all of whom
will deeply mourn their loss. Funera
services, which were very largely at
tended, were held at the M. E.
church, of which Mr.. Sargent was q
charter member, on Monday afternoon,
The G.. A. R., Relief Corps anC
Orange lodge were present as organi.
cations and Rev. E. C. G. Benson
preached the funeral sermon. Inter.
ment was in Woodlawn.

renamed at home and Mrs. Rathbone
taught school and then the young
people sertled down upon their farm
which was to be their home until they
removed to Clio in 1911, following a
failure of Mr.. Rathbone's health which
had been delicate for years. Both here
and at his former home he was es-
teemed good citizen, the friend Of all
who knew him At the time of his
death he was, and had been for many
years, a member of Vienna Grange.
Three children were born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Rathbone, the eldest of whom,
Lucetta, died in 1910. Those surviving
