ROSES DE GUERRE.
BY ELIZABETH P. ALLAN.

Lauderdale, a little Virginia town. "
ing between the Blue Ridge and til,
Allegheny Mountains, was astir early one
June day Of 1854, for the soldier bov,
were coming-the ones in grav-and
they would of course be very hungry. q
condition that had become chronic with
Confederate soldiers by that time They
were to march rapidly through the town.
and whatever hospitality was to be shown
them must be in a sort of passover form.
So the town-folk were making busy
preparation to waylay the regiments on
the street with bread, and meat. and cof-
fee-rye coffee and buttermilk. and
sorghum molasses ginger cakes. and
blackberry wine, and home-brewed ale.
You would have taken it for market
day in some Old World village. so ami
mated was the thronged street. and with
people IN such queer costumes. The dig
nified matron and the doucest maid wore
complacently furniture calico of the most
startling patterns; gray and blue edo
nestle was made to fit slender waists.
whose ante-bellum silk and velvet had
given out hats and bonnets were of all
shapes and no shapes, all home-plaited
Of wheat straw; old silk stocking legs
figured as well-ftting gauntlets. and the
more stylish wore shapely gloves of
chamols skin, which had known the cool
effects of soap and water, since it used 10
rub the family silver. Trim feet were
covered with hand-knit stockings. the
cotton having been spun in the winter
evenings, when reading was scarce for
want of new books, and letter-writipo
scanty because of ten-cent stamps. and
sociabilities few because there were no
beaux and no refreshments to be had . |
stout leather shoes, Of village manufac- |
ture, were laced over these primitive |
hose, with heels the farthest possible re-
move from French. Men were conspicu-
ously absent, only old men and boys
the sex, except where some
sleek publican managed to put a govern
ment Office between himself and hot bull
let's.
This was the picture presented by the
long struggling main street, as Lauder
lale awaited the soldiers that bright
summer day.
Cary Brook, however, was not lending
herself to this good work of catering
'he seemed to be devoting herself to the
ssthetic instincts of the soldiers, for the
,dornment of her dainty self occupied an
unusual time. And yet Colonel Bird, of
he 1Olst Mississippi, was not in the
Iivision which was to pass through Lau-
lerdale that day but when does not {
