The jacket or capo which I completes a bathing salt or a street I costume is frequently sleeveless; the I upper section of the lounging paI jama, and the coat to this type of I garment is also found without sleeves. I Blouses, which are once more estabI lished in favor due to. the revival of I the tailleur and jacket costume, comI pose another unit in the sleeveless I grou. and are being widely sponsored I in sheer fabrics for summer wear.

Beethoven was born in 1770 at Bon, Germany, on the Rhine and died in 1827. When a child of three years was very noticeable that he was unusually gifted as a musician. His father was very poor and unable to educate the lad. so a grandfather undertook the task, but died when Beethoven was still quite young. The father, however, was then able to help some and the boy struggled on with his musical training. When a young man, he went to Vienna to study. Here he met Mozart, of whom he was very fond. But his mother became ill, and he was recalled home. A few years later, however, he returned to Vienna, where the major portion of his life was spent. Despite a handicap of deaf ness which came upon him in later years, he continued to write bis sonatas and other compositions. At this point in the program, Mrs. Carrie Haubold played a movement of his "Moonlight Sonata,” which was pre ceded by a poem read by Mrs. Fred Smith telling of the circumstances whicli accompanied the writing of the composition. Mrs. J. F. Fruchte then played another of is sonatas and as a closing number. Mrs. Smith played his last composition entitled, "Farewell to the Piano.” The next, meeting of the club will be held next Monday afternoon with Mrs. Dore Erwin as hostess.

McNew, South Union street, Kokomo. “I am seventy-six years old, and thought that my advanced age had something to do with my condition. My food did not digest as it should, and lay on my stomach and soured, forming gas. The gas would penetrate my entire system, and gathered around my heart, causing palpitation amj shortage of breath. I suffered terrible indigestion pains. "I decided to give Konjola a trial. 1 started witli two bottles, and to my amazement, my suffering began to ease up immediately. I am rid of the awful gas pains, and I can eat just about anything I want without suffering from indigestion afterwards. I feel as well as I ever did, and awaken in the morning refreshed. Konjola surely is a wonderful medicine, and I am glad to recommend it to all who suffer as I did.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at Smith Yager & Falk's drug store and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.
