home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ulysses

munity, as she had been ilL~good

She was married to Ulysses Ora

She was a christian in the truest
sense, being a member of the

them of her willingness to and
readiness to go she said: Il am
going home to-day" and toward
the break of day she fell asleep
in that peace which the world
can not take or give away. Now
the precious companion and dar-
ling mother is trying the realities
of an unknown world. She has
passed over the road from
whence no traveller has ever re-
turned and has gone the way
that the living has not learned.
Althoughshe sis quietly resting
beneath the cold, cold sod, we
rejoice in knowing that her spir-
it has gone to join the celestial
family of God. She is survived
by her husband, one child, five
brothers, six sisters and many
relatives and friends who deep
ly feel the loss of one so dear.

Use for Discarded Waists.

A most satisfactory way Of using up
all discarded shirtwaists which but
ton in the back, and after they are
worn out under the sleeves, is to make
them into children's dresses. Leave
the backs rs they are, start from waist
line, cutting upward, leaving two
inches for the shoulder of the dress.
Cut the bottom part of the sleeve and
use for the child's dress; cut the col
lar off and trim as preferred. For a
small child they will be long enough
to even off the bottom and hem up,
while for a larger child a flOunce of
hamburg or lace can be used. They
are very easily and quickly made, as

satisfactory, writes a mother.
