Fashions Exposure Of the Person

A recent fashionable monthly says
"The exposure of physical charms by
ladies of fashion this season Is positively
shocking almost overstepping the
bounds of decency in some instances
and in to-day's Fashionable Foibles''
will be found caution in regard to low
necked dresses taken from late Paris
fashion journal.
"Apropos' we relate the following dia-
logue which occurred at Washington
levee not long since:
ibid you ever see such sight as
that?" was asked of grave old phil
osopher, as shapely beauty bent over
her bon-bons.
"Never since | was acea1aed," was the
reply.
And also an incident which occurred
in New York City, where a gentleman
gave party in honor of a distinguished
missionary lately returned from his
field of work. The ladies appeared in
yer decollette dresses, and, as the host
feared the style might shock his rever-
ence, he apologized to him for it, saying
that fashion demanded it.
ooh, | don't mind it at ALL replied
the missionary, 81 have been ten years
among the ages.
This state of affairs is certainly very
demoralizing to young men, especially
to those of ardent passions, and tends to
tear away the veil of modesty which
should surround every true and virtuous
woman. For the sake of morality and
virtue, let the reign of exceedingly de-
cOllette dresses come to a speedy end.

Removing the Capitol.

A few years ago it was the fashion
among certain clique of politicians,
whose utterances were echoed by por-
ton of the press, to clamor for the re-
mo, of the Capitol from Washington
to some representative Western city
near to the geographical centre of the
country. The topic seemed to prove
seven days wonder, however, and was
soon forgotten in the rush and require
ments of the Nations urgent business.
Now whether the Capitol will ever be
removed or not is not near so interest
ing a question to some people as
whether rheumatism can or will be re-
moved from their bodies. The sub
iect of the removal of this disease from
the system has very successfully inter
ested fnyriads of people, and from the
extended expressions conveyed by the
almost innumerable statements received
from representatives of every class OF
the community, we append the followed

A New York dispatch says: last even.
ing, at the Leroy mansion, New Roch-
ellie, Just above New York, died Caro-
line Webster, the widow of Daniel
Webster. The stately old lady had
been seriously i'll only about fort
night, although she had been gradually
failing for a year from advancing years.
She was confined to her bed by an attack
of rheumatic fever, which soon develop
ed into pneumonia. As there was every
indication that it was to be the vener-
able lady's last sickness, her physicians
notified her surviving relatives, and
they came to the old-fashioned man.
sion.
The patients death was perfectly
painless, and it seemed to those who
passed the last hour at her bedside
rather as if she had fallen asleep
than died. At the bedside were the
brothers of the deceased lady, Daniel
Leroy and William Henry Leroy; Mrs.
Jacob Leroy, her sister-in- law, and Mr..
and Robert Edgar. The funeral will
take place Wednesday morning from
Trinity Church, New Rochelle, and the
body be buried at Woodland Cemetery.
Mrs. Webster was Daniel Webster's
second wife, and was born in New York
City in 1897. Her father was the late
Herman Leroy, head of the once
famous commercial house of Leroy,
Bayard, McKiven & Co., who had a
large trade in different parts of the
world. Mr.. Leroy was also the first
Holland Consul to the United States.
Mrs. Webster's mother was Hannah
Cornell, daughter of the last royal At
torney General of the State of North
Carolina. 1t was at her fathers house
rs Broadway, then one of the fashion
able centres of the city, that in 1928 she
was first introduced to Daniel Webster,
the Senator from Massachusetts. Those
conversational abilities which had
charmed so many of the visitors in ner
fathers house soon captivated the dis
tinguished Senator, and after only
few months courtship, he married
her.
The ceremony was performed in
Grace Church, February, 1929. in the
presence OF a large and fashinable as
semblage. In 1889 she went to Europe
with Webster, and travelled through
England and Scotland. During her So
iourn in England she dined with Queen
Victoria at Windsor Castle, and was
also guest of the Duke of Wellington,
and other distinguished members ofthe
aristocracy. After Mr.. Webster's death
100 citizens of Boston contributed 81 900
each to fund of 100000, which was
invested for his widows benefit, and the
interest of this she received regularly,
she Inherited enough property
from her father TO fully supply her
needs.

fields in the direction of the railway sta
ton.
''She's treated me very badly-but
for all that hope she may be happy.
Heaven bless her p he said, as he
caught glimpse of ''The Nest" as the
train shrieked past.
Then he shrank back into his corner,
and gave himself up to the bitterest re-
Election. He found it difficult to realize
that he was rejected; yet Beauclere had
told him distinctly that he had propos-
ed to Miss Armstrong that afternoon,
and had been accepted. There was no
further reason of his staying at West
water; and he was going to ask his
uncle, Of the firm of Leslie and Long
hampton, to send him on a confidential
mission to the extreme end of the earth,
where they were supposed to do bust
ness. George could not be philosophi-
cal enough to look at happiness

termined to get completely out of the
way of Mark Beauclere; and he could
not even summon up courage to con-
graduate Lucy. or say good-by; but he
wrote her nice little letter, in which a
good deal of real feeling was hidden
under some stiff formal phrases, and
through it all peeped very sore,
bruised, affronted, but still faithful love.
Lucy laughed at it first, and then
cried over it, then wiped her eyes, and
wrote an explanatory and affectionate
reply; but, alas George was gone on
the confidential mission. His letter
said that he was on the eve of starting
for China, and bore the Southampton
post-mark. He said he might be absent
for years, or for ever. To poor Lucy,
in the first disnay other discovery that
George was really gone, it seemed the
same thing.

A Happy Young Gentleman.

Mr.. E. III. Rhoads, residing at No.
214 w. Ninth street, says he knows
more about the law of contrast than he
did last winter. He did not know then
what infammatory rheumatism was.
He has since been thoroughly Initiated
into all its mysteries, and there is a
very steep contrast between the feel
ings of man when ne is dosed with
rheumatism and enjoying immunity
from it. During the Christmas holi-
days he was aroused from his sleep
about two o'clock in the morning by a
terrible pain in his right hand and
wrist. He felt as if his arm weighed a
ton and had been crushed by an ele-
plant. He never did have anything
to hurt him so badly in his life.
He didn't sleep any more that night,
for the pain grew rapidly worse until
eight O'Clock. when he applied St.
Jacobs Oil. His hand had grown so
stiff by the time the first application
was made that he could not move a
finger, and even st. Jacobs Oil could
not induce the disease to loose its grip
until it had been used two days. At
the end of that time, however, the fa-
nous old pain annihilator drove out
the last vestige of pain and he was all
right again and ready to eat, sleep and
enjoy himself like other men. He has
not had any signs of it since and does
not care to make its acquaintance.

| Perhaps it is not generally known
outside of the Western town where it
occurred, that the celebrated African
explorer, Henry M. Stanley, was about
dozen years since rejected as a sutton
| by betwitching little actress at that
| time attached to a stock company play
ing at Omaha, Neb. The entire COM
pany was excellent, including as it did,
Jean Clara Walters and old Mrs. De-
Bar, with others equally admirable in
their way; but the chief attraction to
the youth of that Western city was
Annie Ward, who, in the soubrette
parts which she took with such chic
and spirit, was absolutely irresistible.
Well does the writer remember the
slight, agile figure, graceful as a bird;
the sharp-featured, piquant little face,
with its smiling lips, which the tiny
gleam of gold in one of the front teeth
rendered all the more betwitching;
and, above all, the wonderful short,
clustering, curly hair of pale gold,
which was her browning charm. And
when, attired in jaunty Swiss peasant
costume, this fascinating little soubrette
stepped to the footlights and, with her
hands thrust saucily into her apron
pockets and that curly golden head
poised like cunning canary's she
would sing her coquettish love-songs
straight at some particular fellow in the
audience, what could he do but sur
render? Stanley who was then on the
journalistic staff of the Omaha Herald,
and who was given to sitting in his
sanctum and writing brilliant, descrip-
tive letters of imaginary travel, that
when his first accounts of Africa came
out, many who knew him there refused
to credit them, was one of the most de-
sperately smitten of all her admirers,
and did his utmost to win her heart
and hand. But all in vain. She after
ward married there handsome young
fellow named "Jake" Baker, but her
choice proved to be very unfortunate.
Eight years ago the sad news came
from St. Louis that the once courted
and betwitching Annie Ward had died
there by her own hand through sorrow,
caused by neglect and desertion of her
husband. What different fate might
have keen hers had she said Eyes," in

The Grave of Mrs. Surratt.

The following relative to Mrs. Sur
raft. who was hung in 1865 with the
Lincoln conspirators, appears in the
Washington Star. In Mount Olivet
Cemetery, on the Blandensburg road,
repose the remains of Mrs. Mary Sur
raft, who, it will be remembered, was
hung on the 21st day of July, 1865, as
one of the conspirators implicated in
the assassination of President Lincoln.
Her body was buried in the arsenal
grounds near the scaffold, with those of
Payne, Harold and Atzerodt; and sub
sequently Wirz, of Andersonville no
toriety, was buried near them. While
the bodies were lying there plain head
boards were placed over their graves.
When the old penitentiary building
was torn down the remains of John
Wilkes Booth, buried in the end of the
building, and the bodies above named
were all moved into one of the large
store-houses of the arsenal and placed
Hnder the tagging. About the close of
President Johnson's administration the
bodies were surrendered to the friends

Wirz and Mrs. Surratt were taken to
to Mount Olivet When the body of
the.latter was exhumed black ribbon
tied in bow-knot was removed from her
dress as a memento. A number of her
former friends were present when the
reinterment was made, in a lot at the
extreme northwest corner of the GENE
terry. Stones marked with the letter
''S' were set at the corners of the lot.
With no other mark the spot was diff
cult to find without guidance, and Mr..
Duffy, the sexton at the time, and for
several years afterward, was frequently
called upon to point out the spot where
Mrs. Surratt was buried. About 1875,
Mr.. Gustavus Craney, stone-cutter re-
siding in this city, was engaged in put
ting up some head-stones in the ground
and Mr.. Duffy called his attention to
the want of stone to mark Mrs. Sur
rats grave. Mr.. Craney agreed to cut
the letters on stone if Mr.. Duffy pro-
cured one. Mr.. Duffy having procured
a stone, it was chiseled by Mr.. Craney,
who cut the name "Mrs. Surratt," upon
it and set it at the head of the grave.
Since then there have been two inter
ments on the lot-one, a grandchild of
Mrs. Surratt, and the other DIR. Thomas,

1t often happens that one has left
slices of cold boiled ham, which are
nice in every way, but still are not pre-
sentable on the platter. There are two
ways in which they may be used to ad-
vantage. The first is to chop the ham
fine and mix it with bread crumbs
which have been moistened with we'll
beaten eggs. Make in the shape OF
balls and fry in hot lard. The other
way is, after chopping the ham, to mix
eggs with it, heat it in sauce pan in
which you have first put lump OF
butter. When the eggs are cooked
serve with dry toast. This may be
spread on the toast if you choose.
