HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance, 1910-05-05, Page 2The problem of the sumnier outfit is really far more harassing than the win- ter outfit, for not only is it essentied Tor summer gowns to look &wage fresh and smart, but for mere, comfort's sake must there be a far larger number than is required for the winter. It is impossible, for inetance, to eliminate wool gowns from the list, but they do not play an important part. There must be gowns of soma weight, not so warm or heavy as wool, and there must be foulard and pongee gowns' for the very hot 'weather, so that the -woman who finds it compar- atively easy to look smartly gowned during the cold weather if she be pro-, videctivith three or four quite Batista°, tory 00801MO0 Mad realize that double the number for summer will be the rule. Voile de soie. Bilk veiling and mar- quisette, preferably the former, are much in d'anancl this season, as in truth are all lightweight transparent and seimatransparent materials. As has been said many times the choice of colors is wonderfully extensive, and when the ex - sot shade and effect cannot be found it can be obtained by combining two or three shades, ono over the other, geving a wonderful depth and charm of color, The solid colors are so varied, however, that it would seem as though the most critioal might be satisfied. In greeti there are endless shades, for green is one ofthe favorites this year, and a Most charming model is in one of the new ehadee combined with liberty satin, a perfect match, or, if so desired, with black. The former is tb.e smartest and the most generally becoming. The style might be called elaborately simple. It consists of a. lower skive with wide facing of the satin, a full overskirt finished with two bands of satio, a most simple waist with yoke collar, flat band down the front of the waist and cuffs of fine Malin° lace. The belt is at the normal waist line, the sleeves el- bow length, are of normal size, and the gown attracts • attention by its finish and simplicity. Liberty satin is a material that has again come into favor; it never did en- tirely lose its popularity, for it is such a 'becoming material and can be draped and fitted easily. It is used in all col- ors, and in many of the brightest col cringe as well as in black. In one of the new shodee of red is. an extremely smart model, but rather a dangerous style to recommend recklessly. Again is there the double skirt, the upper quite full and gathered into a broad band of Ven- etian lace; three rows of heavy cording form the belt that joins waist and skirt, and are placed to give the short waisted effect. The &leaves are in three wide tucks, but do not yeach quite to the el- bow, and have eis finish a puff of the sa.me laze. This same model copied in black is also extremely popular. „lertistio and aestb.etio are terms ap- plied to many a the aleivest styles, and if 10050, MOTO or less floppy effeots aro suggested by these terms, then they certainly aro -well -named. The sleeves and leftist' in one piece, -with no Weeni- e-. def, nor sleeve seams, give a vague out- line, -while the full skirts, drawn in about the ankles with a. wide band of lase or satin, quite, effectually disguise the natural lines of tho wearer.

This model in white is as charming and as effective as in any color, Wool materials are so associated with out of door costumes an(1 tailor gowns thee when in the summer season Medea of cloth gowns are exhibited it alwa.ye seems as though there were some mis- take. Although there are not many days during the heated term when a wooll or serge gown would seem practical in the country, at the seashore or in the • mountains there are many opportunitice for wearing it. And then the models dis- played in serge or cloth can almoat in- variably be copied in other materials. The blue and white striped serge or cloth could be made equally well or better in eongee or foulard, and iher.:, are mally eletails that, could bs unpror unon in the other fabrics; the waist in a lighter material would be far smarter, the sleeves more gracciul, for the model is exceptionally mare and novel.

The constant changing of faehions as the weeks go by is tanking the selection of the summer wardrobe unusually diffi cult. As hes just beeu. inetanced, the different models can he chosen with au idea of making them up in other colors Waft fabrics, and this is a task that re- quires cool elcilled judgment.

Fortunately it is not necessa.ry to buy the most expensive materials to secure the best results, and there never WaS a thne when there were so many' ef- fective materials to be had for so little expenditure. No one color is ordered by Dame Fashion. For the moment, owing to the Chantecler influence, red predom- inates, but there is little indication that it will so continue to lead. There are most exquisite blues, and many of them clear, vivia blues, and the duller antique eitades. There are greens and many yel- lows, and more black gowns are now being made than has been the case for a king time, while •white in any texture and weight is most pepular.

The following are the openina sontorniers of that atotement "It is a rioientifically indisputable fact, that alco- holic beverages more than any other ene feetor undermine the physical And Intel. leotual powers of the race, endanger the general welfare, ancl create heredi- tary ailments and degeneracy. More than half of the inmates of our penal institutions were actuated by alcohol to the oriminal deeds for which they were convieted; about one-fourth of the in. sans and feeble-minded owe their pit- iable fate to alcohol. Domestic misery, poverty and degeneraoy everywhere fol- low in the wake of this poisoner of the race. Alcohol has been Blum, to be the moving cause of oneetentla of the cases of violent death, In Germany alone an average of 1,300 persons a year lose their lives through alcohol directly or indirectly; 1,600 commit suicide for the same reason, and about 30,000 annually sink into delirium tremens and other mental derangement. This dreadful amount ef misery at the time entails an enormous economic burden on our people." Who hath eontentions-The spirit of strong drink seems to be, the spirit of strife and contention. Given a company of men with appetites for (strong drink and a liberal supply of li- quor, and' there are sure to be quarrels and fights. Conscience and reason are for the time dethroned, self-control is laelcieg and dangerous disputes arise. Babbling. -"Complaining." -11, V. It is a common thing for the drunken man to talk foolishly, as well as complain- ingly. Persons under the influence of alcohol say things they would have no thought of uttering when sober. Cau- tion and mo'desty are for the time being absent, and the tongue is given loose reign. Wounds without cause-Beeause strong drink takes away reason, and stirs up a quarrelsome spirit, the victim is not in a condition to use prudence in protecting himself. 'Uncounted and un- recorded saloon brawls are a sad com- mentary upon these words, 'rile wife and children of the drunkard times without number suffer such wounds at the hands of those who are their natural protectors. These wounds without eause are "not honorable sears of war a moth- er's hand burned in the resoue of her ehild."-Eraser.

"The paactisse preyalent isa the East, of drinking to a late hour in the night, seems to have been com- mon among the Hebrews." - Lean sp. One of the prominent features of the drinking habit is the tendency to fol- low up one drink with another. The Japanese. hare a proverb: "A. moll took o drink, then the drink took a drink, then the drink took the man." This is where the fallacy of the moderate drink- er appears.

Total abstinenee. "Look not thou up- on the wine" (v. 31). Do not waste one glance upon it. Do not put yourself in the way of temptation. "Be not among winebibbers" (v. 20). The theory that home-made wine and cider are .00mpara- tively harmless is erroneous. There is no drunkenness more brutal than that resulting from cider drinking. A daily newspaper contained this item: "A. silk weaver murdered his wife and two little cbildren and set fire to his 'house. Ho had half a dozen barrels of home-made wine and cider in his collar, and drinking these made him crazy." Teach the chin dren not to expose themselves to tempta- tion. A little popcorn seller went into a saloon with his merchandise. The bar- tender offered to buy the corn if the lit- tle fellow would take his pay in drink. Tho boy refused, saying that he used his money to buy bread and clothes for him- self and little sister. The soloorokeeper bought some corn, and. the boy etarted on his way to the door. The keeper of the den called the boy back and gave him a glass of whiskey, mixed with sugar and water, saying it was good. for colds. The boy pronounced it "Good," and went away. Then this saloorekeeper said, "The prohibition cranks are injuring us, and unless we continue enaking drunk- ards out of the young they will soon have them, all on their side. If that boy keeps selling corn on this side of the river it won't be three weeks till he will buy drinks of ma They learn easy when young," and he laughed heartily. Then the monster went on to enumerate the many boys he had taught to drink. One was a six-year-old son of a widow, whom he taught to drink through spite. Trust in Christ. "Looking unto ensue the author and finisher of our faith," ie the remedy for every ill (Heb. 12:2). As the bitten Israelites looked to the brazen serpent, so the .sinner stung by the ser- pent may leek up for health and lif., Any of them could look. Even the weals ones who could not raise their heade from their pillows could look. Even the dying ones who Could not lift their hands could look. A little child bitten by the serpept ean look. So, easy has God ;nada the way of salyation, even from the curse of intemperance. One must be determined. Turning half-heart- edly from the evil will riot avail. God giveshis grace to those who are fully set against the &bac. He who renounces his sin, yields fully to God and trusts him, will find the power of habit broken. The .mana own effort joined with the power of divine grace will accomplish the .desired deliverance, 'lend faith in Christ will enable the former victim to keep free from the chains of Satan. Be filled with the Spirit. The Spirit of God is directly opposed tb the spirit of wine. Paul says, "Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh„..iedultery....murders, drunken- ness, revelling's, and stuth like" (Gal. 5: 16-21). If we know the exhilaration of spiritual enjoyment we shall not care for the unhealthy excites:lent of wine. bibbing. If we have the tone of fire which speaks in the demonstration of the Spirit and of power, we shall loathe the garruloue, incoherent tongue of the drunkard. If we enjoy singing the psalms of Zion, we *hall have no love for the Cacohatudian song of reveling. If UM know' the blessedness of going to the house of God with hie deer children, and are in the habit of leading sinners to the Savior, we obeli never care for, nor lead others into pieces where there is any temptation to partake of that which ruins spirit, soul ana bedy.-A, a AL W1110101' \7.41,130."ka, TORONTO MARKETS.

Killed Her in Her Children's Presence and Boasted of it. 4.100••••••.F.1.1 Whiskey and Other Oirls Led to the Committal of the Deed. Smith' Falls, Ont., April 30.-A cruet murder was committed here this morn- ing in it little frame house on Main street, when Mr, Rufus Weedmark was choked to death by Iter liuslmaide The crime' ie the result of ou unhappy do. mestic life extending over a umber ef Team, in which drinking, jealousy and quarrelling seem to have been Almost tie daily portion. Weedmark is a man About fifty-two years or age and has a large and respectable family connection, here oud in this vieipity. Ile le a laborer, but for the past few years lie has lived. a very irregular life, And, it is said, drank very heavily. His wife was a hard*Work- ing woman and went to do eharwork to support the family, Lost night both husband wife were at a neighbor's, Mr. 14. Gilligan's at 11 o'clock,. and. he began to quarrel with her there. lie called her coarse and. ugly names, until he was stopped by some of the Wastes of the Gilligan home, About 11 o'clock they went home and there, it seems, the wranglipg was continued. There were two little daugh. tera in the house, aged nine. and eleven, and your correspondent talleed with the oldest one tide morneng. She said that and a correspondent talked, with the mother as soon as they came in from Gilligan's'but that in a little while he went upstairs •ansi changed his clothee„ taking off his every day garments and putting on his Sunday emir. While he was upstairs they and their nsother lay down together on a lounge, and when he came down stairs they all got up again. He kept up the ugly talk, and the wife defended herself against his accu- sations. Shortly after he had come down stairs the girls and their another went upstairs and Iay down on a bed without undressing. Weedmark left the house, but was not gone long, and after he came in they heard him going out to theshed or kitchen at the back of the house. The little girl says he had often, threatened to kill her mother, and when they beard him go out to the shesi they were afraid he had gone for the • axe or something, and they all got up. Nothing happened, however, and the children went to bed again. They are not quite clear as to what took place during the remainder of the night, but just at dayliglat this morning, about 4 o'clock, they heard their mother scream- ing down stairs. They ran down, and the oldest girl says her father had her another on the floor in a corner and was choking her. Her younger sister grabbed a dipper and struck him with it, and they both called to him to leave their mother alone. He paid no attention to them, says, but continued .knceling over mother and choking her. She ran on to the street and gave the alarm. Mr. Cullen, who has a livery stable near by came out, and Mr. Handyman, who lie -es ha the other half of the same house occupied by the Weedmarks, Also rushed out. By this time a few others began to gather at the place, but they were too late to be of any protection to the poor, misused woman. A young man, 'Fred Gilligan'boreal to the eine/ of police, and in a few min- utes after he had gone Weedmark an - peered, and, calling Mrs. Gilligan dowa stairs, told her to come over and teke care of the dead. She asked him what he hnd done,, and his reply was: "Yes, I've killed her: I meant it, and I've done it." Mrs. Gilligan went over, and by this time others were also there. They found' Mrs. Weedmark lying on the lounge, dead. Weedmark was there, and, after throwing a blanket over thei body, he 'went outside, walked up end down on the sidewalk, and talked in it brutal manner about the unhappy wo- man whose life he had just taken. In a few minutes Chief Edwards and Police- man Wilson arrived and took Weedmark into custody. He made no attempt to get away, and talked. quite freely to the policemen and others about it. Weedmark is a man of no education, beat aside from that is of fair intelli- gence, and not at all the kind of- man that murderers are supposed to be. The cause of the whole unhappy affair, may be put down to constant drinking, lead- ing to indolence and neglect of family, disagreemene and quarrelling, and the result was this morning's awful crime. It is the first murder known to have been committed in Smith's Falls in many years, and the town is stunned by it. The eldest daughter of a family of five is niarried to Mr. Harrington, mud lives here. Weedmark had often threatened to kill his wife, and only yesterday he said to his daughter, Mrs. Harrington: "You'll neither see your 'neither nor ma ufter to -morrow." Laid year Mrs. Weed. mark had him up on a cbarge of non- support, and be spent sit months in jail. He has been vowing vengeance ever sinee lie was releasecb pastor of the church, and, in referring to the work of the Brotherhood, spoke of the f one that the Laymen's Missionary Movement, in one sense a kindred or- ganization, had been for Christianity. It, Was not until the past few years tbat laynaeu, as a body, had taken their place an church work. The Laymen's Missionary Movement, in its growth, had surprised the men themselves. His Honor took occasion to refer to the campaign to raise money for the Young Men's Christiau Association. The raising in a short time of over half of the amount wanted was an admirable illustration of \Oat men could do if they got up and tried. "I am proud," he said, "of my temporary citizenship of a city that can and is disposed to ac- complish such results." Sir William Mortimer Clark bad as his subject "Christian Principles inPub- lie Life." Honesty of heart and charac- ter, he held, should be the great essen- tials in all things, in professional, busi- Imes and political life. The corruption tbat from time to time occurred in poli- tica was, he said, due to the hardening and deadening of men's consciences. Only the governing of our lives according to Christian principles could real reform in public life be effected. Mr. W. D. McPherson, M.P.P., X.C., spoke upon "Christianity in a New Na- tion," and pointed out the decay in na- tions that had rejected or drifted away from Ohristianity. LOOKED SHAKY. ...•.•••••••maem Hon.
