Saturday evening. as the old hal
clock, which for many years ha:
marked for us the passing hours Of
life. tolled out the hour of eleven, oui
Mother, answering the call of hel
Creator, passed into His waiting
arms. Her destiny fulfilled as wife
mother, friend and neighbor, the soul
that was too great for the frail form
that housed it, vent out to the re-
ward which must await, in that great
mysterious unknown, those Christian
spirits whose little stay upon this
earth are devoted to the love and
self sacrifice which characterized the
whole existence of the little woman
whom we called by the sacred name
of Mother. Her life has been an
open book upon the unsullied pages
of which are craven the records of
the virtues which drew to her bier
those friends from all the walks of
life, who came to mingle there their
tears with those of her husband and
her sons, from out of whose lives
have gone all but the memories of
her beautiful life which has to them
been both their inspiration and their
hope.

ADITORIAL.

"Style" is a much used and much
abused word. As we interpret it, it
is not necessarily the mode of pre-
ponderant favor, but rather the most
exacting adaptations of ideas con-
ceived by the master designers of the
time, and given expression in really
worthwhile and different, distinctive
and exclusive apparel. Style in this
store is not necessary to be looked
for. It is everywhere. In all our de-
partments, there is merchandise
which has been developed from the
ideas of the masters of creation and
thinking in units Of the items in
question. And these various depart
ments carry only the most highly
developed, the most satisfyingly near
the ideal, of the items in question.
Whether it be a suit, cloak, a pair
of stockings or a piece of ribbon,
there is in the style embodied therein.
strict proof of our Interpretation of
the word. Watch for it in every
thing you see here. e9.
