| pipe organ built in, and the wood
work beautifully carved. The dedi-
cation sermon was preached by Rev
f. E. Bancroft, former pastor Of
the Presbyterian church in Deer
Lodge. and a warm friend Of the
Larrabee family. His text was
! from Ephesians, 1st chapter, and
read, "The church, which is
His body" the last four words from
23d verse of chapter. Rev. Bancroft
is Il very able minister, and the SER
mon was one Of the finest we ever
heard, divided into three parts:
The Church stands for: (1st)
Great Convictions, Gods real
ity, His Moral Character; (2d)
Great Ideals: CAD Spiritual power,
forgiveness. present power great
hope" Mr.. Wright, from Helena,
was organist. and all the Protestant
ministers in the city were present
and assisted in the service. Two
large flags stood In each corner OF
front Of church. and decorations were
pink and crimson roses.
People returning to Montana from
the East tell Of the preparations for
war and the lavish display Of flags
everywhere. There are flags in Mon
tana. too. seemingly in all suitable
places. Several trains of soldiers
have passed through going to the
West cOast--one train Of young men
In naval uniforms. Several Deer
Lodge boys have gone to California
to the training camps.
Miss Jeannette Rankin's admirers
are greatly disappointed at her lack
OF patriotism, and some Of the wo-
men who voted for her are now wish
ing they had not. She was sent as a
representative Of Montana people
and not Of her own preferences. She
intended to oppose Hon. G. ]. Walsh.
OF Montana. for Senator in the next
election, but suppose she has no
chance Of ever being nominated by
Republicans again. Senator Walsh
is the man who won the West for
Woodrow Wilson, and we are all
proud Of him.
4 large number Of the poor little
Belgian children. whose right hands
had been cut off by German soldiers
were on train which came through
here two days ago. They are to be
cared for in Washington (State) or

the great change for our own coun-
try that has come in the last year!
Some things are almost beyond be-

And we lend him listening ear,
For his cart is a heart all loyal.
Unscathed by the curse OF fear.

Of warm weather is all we've had this

After all Is said and done, the
smart tailored hat holds the center
Of the stage in the drama Of millinery
Just as the best tailored suits are
paramount I'm the world of apparel.
These are the two items that should
receive first consideration in every
woman's mind whenever she turns her
attention to her wardrobe. 1t Is bet
ter to economize In dressy clothes
than in those intended for street wear,
and in the latter, style and good work
manship are essentials, which women
should be willing to pay for.
Whether we like 1t or not, we must
reconcile ourselves to some advance
In prices for both tailored suits and
hats. 1t is impossible to produce them
as cheaply as in former years, yet
millinery has advanced less In price
than almost any other article that
women wear.
Three handsome tailored hats are
shown above. The model Mt the left
Is of black straw braid with bell crown
and narrow mushroom brim. II has
n strictly tailored trim of white gros-
grain ribbon and is hat that Is hes
coming to almost every face. The hat
nj the center of the group is an adap-
tation of the "coolle" hat from China
and is intended for youthful wearers.
On n black straw or satin turban the

of narrow ribbons-is posed at jaun-
