Tan shoes will be stylish this season. Not in the smooth calfskin, however, unless one cannct afford the ooze or suede. But with costumes of any color, brown footwear will be eor'rect, except where a one tone color scheme is preferred, In which case black shoes will be best with hlack frocks, even though the latter bo not mourning. It cannot be stated too positively that only the plainest kind of shoes are good form for the street. .Those with patent leather vamps and I white or tan tops are not correct, unless the upper portion matches the frock. Such fcotewear is correct for I carriage use or in the house, if con- ' ditions are such as to make boots necI essary.

CHURCH OF CHRIST SERVICES Were Well Attended Sunday—Great Interest. AH services were well attended, especially the sermon to women at 3 p. m. and the evening service. Bible lesson was on the subject of the Joy of Forgiveness, and a very interesting time was spent in studying this beautiful theme. Evangelist Crabb delivered a splendid sermon on “The Eleventh Commandment” after Sunday school. He delivered another excellent sermon to women in the afternoon and this service was attended by just one hundred women and girls, and was marked by the earnest attention of all present. Rev. Crabb presented many forcible and convincing statements. The theme “How a Woman Met a Great Crisis,” was based on the beautiful Bible character “Efsther.” The life of every woman or girl who heard this excellent talk should be governed by the advice of the speaker, who so earnestly explained woman’s duty to home, to the nation and to heaven. The evening service was attended by more people than any other meeting since Rev. Crabb began the revival, and those who heard him on “Love, Courtship and Marriage” were given many serious things to think about, and abundant proof that the subject is one that has the Bible for its source. Rev. Crabb was assisted in each service by bis wife, who led the song service and also sang several beautiful solos. The subject for Monday night 13 "How to Kill a Church.” The meetings will continue till Friday night. Every one is cordially invited to attend the services. Special music at each session.
