Sousa and mother of John Philip
Sousa, the noted bandmaster and COM
poser, died at the family residence,
502 Seventh street southeast, yester-
day afternoon at 5:35 o'clock. Her
death was due to general debility.
Mrs. Sousa was 80 years old and had
been a resident of this city since
1854 Up to about three months ago
she was more than ordinarily active
and was accustomed to a daily walk,
but about that time she began to fail
and grew weaker until her death.

The two countrymen were delighted.

A street frock-very practical for

ed of Amber Hello Charmeen. 1t has
an inset vest and cuffs of Frostkrepe
in a paler shade. The cuffs are shir-
red to fit snugly around the wrist.
At first glance, it has the appearance
of an ensemble costume. 1t is, how
ever, merely a new version of the
tunic which was so popular all win
ter. The slightly circular effect from
the hips down is shown to best ad-
vantage when worn by the taller
woman.
The range Of colors and the beau
tiful designs displayed prove in a
manner most convincing that Amer
ican Style Creators and American
Fabric Manufacturers are on a par
with those found anywhere, and that
the French influence Of American
trade has been unwarranted. This
