the smartest of low-necked evening
frocks of silk and satin to the simp-
lest of ginghams, and from these to
the trimmest of service suits.
Under the name of service suits
come a number Of military models
of which the sketch illustration is a
good example. Instead Of being
made of khaki this suit is made of
heather jersey, which is color mix
ture in which brown is f1eeced with
deep pink, green and lavender. An
inverted pleat in the back Of the
coat adds to its style.
Another military model which ]
saw very recently departed widely
from the military in its development,
for it was made entirely of balsam-
green tussur, a reminder Of green
leaves and cool breezes in Robin
Hood forest.
Although every ones mind is run
ming more or less toward serving the
country and very naturally toward
costumes which would be practical
for any task that one might choose.
there are also charming frocks for
other occasions.

LoW.Heeled Sports Shoes

With sports clothes, service suits
and simplicity frocks comes suitable
footwear. Low-heeled half shoes
with sensible lasts are worn for
sports. Some of these shoes have
spring heels, others have heels three
quarters of an inch high, and often
the soles and heels are of rubber.
This does not mean that the foot
comes in contact with the rubber.
however, for there is a thickness of
leather between the outside sole and
the foot. White is worn a great deal
for summer. Gray is very fashionable
and, Of course, brown and black are
standard.
For wearing with elaborate after
noon frocks are low shoes with high
heels, either French or Cuban-Louis.

Taffeta and Foulard Frocks

Taffeta and foulard frocks are a
requirement of every woman's ward
robe whether she has large or a
small one, for a dress of either of
these materials is always ready 70
wear; it does not go to the laundry
and is not feazed by fogs and dews.
Although taffeta and foulard can
not in themselves be said to be new
this season, their trimmings of or
candle make them seem so. Frills,
bands and facings of organdie give
an ariness to these frocks which is
summary and cool. Satin is also be-
ing trimmed with organdie. In fact
this might be called an organdie sea-
son, for it does it's "bit" on silks and
satins as we'll as on the humble ging-
ham.
In the second sketch is shown a
frock of soft plaid tafleta with collar,
lapel facing and pockets on waist
and on skirt of white organdie. The
collar Is trimmed with rows of hand
run stitching of heavy silk in the
colors of the plaid.
| Every once in a while some inge-
NOUS person, running out Of new
ideas, dips back into her childhood
for something old to be made new.
In some such way as this the rick
rack braid of years ago has reap
peared on very modern dresses, es-
pecially that all-popular, aN-pfacti-
cal bingham frock.- Sometimes it
trims collars and cuffs, sometimes IT

Maurice Huff.

The passing Of one who has lived
the allotted span of life is sometimes
full Of pathos, if that life has been Ill
spent; it is always a beautiful lesson,
if it has been one of we'll doing. We
look upon the passing of the aged
with less concern, as it is within the
Law OF mortal life, and while we weep
for the loss of onr beloved Of mature
age, u grief is in memory Of things
done, Of kindly remuneration, of the
blessed companionship Of years.
But when we are called upon to give
up a friend who has barely entered
into the great drama of life, one who
has just begun to taste of the fruit of
knowledge, to feel manly emotions
stirring within his breast and to an.
ticipate the joys Of living, we must
mourn for the memory of one who
mas not been given life in its entirety
who has barely entered into the
great garden of lite, from which he
mas been called before enjoying its
fruits or its beauties.
Maurice HUFF, although just at the
open door OF manhood when he was
called, has left his impress upon our
memory because of the beautiful life
he lived, and because of the attributes
of manly character which will pre-
dominate our recollections of him.
His short life was lived in kindly
association with his fellows and In
respectful consideration of his elders.
We mourn his loss, but mingled with
our thoughts OF sorrow are recollec-
tons Of his many virtues.
We feel thankful to have enjoyed
his companionship, We Of his age In
life; We Of an older generation, for
the remembrance Of his CHEEKY ma.
ture which tended, BY its youthful ex-
%uberance, to lessen u regretful re-
slization that to us eventide ap.
proaches.
The long life OF the sage 10 gently
laid down ut the end OF a career Of
usefulness; the short life Of youth Il
ended on the threshold OF love, am
hilton and opportunities. We weep
for the loss OF q beloved mentor in
the one case, in loving pity for thu
other.
In our memories Of Maurice HUI
will be the sweetly cad one Of his loss
and the sweet one Of consolation that,
though his life was brief, the world
was made better BY Ito having been,
A-FRIEND.

The subject Of this sketch was born
In Ironton twenty years ago lie was
the son Of Arthur and Jennie Newman
Hun, hence his boyhood surroundings
we're such - to inetill within him tho
worth Of the nobler things Of this life,
and aspirations for still better things
in the life to come. The foundation
thus laid in his boyhood, had built up.
on it q clean life which was a source
of great joy to his parents and friends,
and an earnest. OF a useful life in the
years to come.
His literary training was obtained
in the Ironton Public Schools. He had
a taste for music, and an aptitude for
learning it. He was for a long time a
member of the Ironton band. After
wards he served a year in the U. s.
Naval Band. Returning home he was
again a member Of the Ironton band.
Six months ago he went to Akron,
Ohio, where he worked until he was
taken sick on tha 18th OF December.
On Saturday, the .3d, he became so
much worse that he was taken TO the
hospital, where he grew rapidly worse.
Two operations were performed up
on him, but he continued to grow
worse until the end anne at 6:l5 p.

Maurice was one Of the healthiest,
s%toutest, most active young men in
the valley. He was quite an athlete.
He was very popular among the young
folks. and was highly esteemed by the
elder ones because of his uniformly
polite bearing toward them.
1t is a matter OF qualification to his
friends, and especially to his parents,
that he felt that he had given his
heart to the Lord, and that it was his
duty to make pubic profession Of the
same and unite with the church This,
however, he delayed until the unex-
pected came upon him,a then it was
too late. However, it is not the
church, but Christ that saves. That
he made preparation to meet God in
peace, is of@far greater Importance
than that he should be a member of
any church.
Besides his father and mother, he
leaves n brother, two sisters, and
innumerable relative and friends to
mourn their loss.
