"Yes, that's ho," said Mr. Mli

"Well, now, see hi'ie," said Mrs

The proposition was readily apreed
to, mid the next hour was spent in
discusmiip the style and make of bon
nels in penernl. Il was apieed upon
thai Sister I iil should be kept in pro
found ipuoraiire of Ihn niiion of the
society, and il was further apreed that
the bonnet should be Mark.
"A blark bonnet is like a nire b'ai k
dress: it's suitable for hIihosi any and
every orcasion," said Mrs. Plt'inm
"and nothin' eb is -nilable for fuio
'rals, and Sister hilly, bein' a prearh

considerable."
"I don't think it woman of Sister
Dill)' fipe bud ort to wear flowers in
her bunnil nohow," said old Craud

and the oldest uieuiber of the soriely.
"'So, not even wheat or oats artilishu's,

"Well, I do," iii'iiiit.iiiied Mrs.

(runny Peters, as she i-hook one of

Mrs-. Iloilpe and Mrs. Welliiian-
were appointed n eoinmiltee to pur-

appropriate.
"My niece, M iry Carvi r, does all
