WOMEN AND SOCIETY. [AH Communications to this column should be addressed to P. O. Box 304.1 Many of the skirts are made with demi trains, deeply tucked, rounding higher at the back than in the front, with yokes, deep flounces and shirred effects. The waists of thin white dresses show a popularity of lace in sertions, ribbons, full sleeves, yokes and blouse effects. Plain white ma- j terials of soft finish are preferred to figured goods. A pretty dress trimming is made of narrow velvet ribbon hanging over a plaited flounce at intervals, using the bunches or tassels on the cuffs and waist front as pendants, as well. Soft ribbons are used for girdles, and the girdles are boned at the back. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Mrs. Frank Lauey and children have returned to their home in Mun- roe, N. 0. Mrs W. H.

[The State, of May 5th.1 Last night at her residence on As sembly street, after a long and pain ful illness which she burs with Chris tian fortitude, Mrs. Eliza Lynch, relict of Dr. John Lynch of this city, passed away. Mrs. Lvnch was born at Salisbury, N. C., Dec. 19, 1823, her parents being Col. Robert Macnamara and Elizabeth Steele, and was married on Sept. 8, 1842, at Ansfield, near Salis bury, to Dr. John Lynoh of Cheraw. In 1857 Dr. and Mrs. Lynch removed to Columbia where the family have since resided. Mrs. Lynch was a of Revolutionary lineage, being a great granddaughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Steele of Revolu tionary fame—the mother of Hon. John Steele, one of the delegates to the State convention to consider the constitution and a member of the tfret congress of the United States. She was a devoted daughter of the Confederacy and her patriotism and charity knew no bounds when her be loved soutUand was in peril. She was a ministering angel to the sick and suffering soldiers of the southern army; in her they found a tender mother and one who never wearied in their behalf. Ai all times during her long and useful life charity to the poor was the characteristic virtue of this truly Christian woman, and de voted wife and mother, of whom it has been aptly said: “She has won the crown of the Christian mother and her children rise up and call her blessed.” The children who survive are: Rob ert A Lynch of Boston, John Lynch of Gaffney. James Lynch. Mrs. Rob ert Mayrant, Mrs. Donald McQueen, Mrs. Powell Miller, Misses Elizabeth and Anna Lynch of Columbia, and Sister M. Cecilia, Sister of Mercy, Charleston. Case Called for Trial.
