The new fans are formed entirely OF
flowers; those made Of pansies or daises arc
prettiest. The flower bonnets of last sum-
mer are beginning to be seen also, but are
likely to be superseded BY the fruit bonnets.
The fashionable fruits for these bonnets are
currants, both red and white. They look odd
and ugly, but they are stylish. Scotch glns
hams are as much worn this season as last.
They come in more than the usual variety
and are Of excellent quality. The Japanese
sun-umbrellas are larger and more numerous
in variety this wear than ever before.

Many of the brave soldiers who sank to
rest in the Civil War with all their countrys
wishes blessed, have been sleeping in graves
with no stone above to tell who they were.
The Government has offered to furnish head
stones in cases where no doubt existed as to
the identity of the soldier sleeping under
meath. Major S. J. Gallagher has sent on to
Washington the names of % deceased sol
diers who lie buried in the cemeteries in Au-
gusta, with no headstoncs over their graves;
also the names of the - men who are buried
in the unknown" mound in the Mount
Pleasant cemetery. Their names were
obtained through Deacon Fiske. who
had charge of the cemetery during the
war, and the papers filed in the archives
of the Adjutant Generals office sup
piled the date of death, proper initials, etc.
Mr.. Gallaghers object is to ask the Quarter
master General of the L. $. Army to put the
cost of the "a headstones into suitable
monument containing the names of the sol
diers buried in the unknown mound and
have the same erected over their graves. 1t
is impossible to identify the occupant of each
