The number OF women who make, der
sigu, or at least superintend the mixing
|of their own dresses according to their
own peculiar style and taste governed
of course, in degree By prevailing
modes is no doubt to-day much larger
than it ever was, since fashion ruled the
world This is certainly a token of wider
culture in the best sense of the term, and
sign Of finer appreciation of what is fit
and becoming in individual cases, having
current rules and set DEGREES of fashion
to be utilized or not, to be received or re-
jected, when and where it is deemed
best. The Iidicule and opposition of
those who blindlY follow wherever fash
ION leads seem rather to stimulate than
d&mpen the ardor of women who, in the
matter OF dress and its adornings, dare to
be independent and free, and are inAexi
bly, bent on beingso. This is no new ex-
ample Of woman's will. During the reign
OF the coal-seuttle bonnet and the ampi-
tude OF crinoline there were found scores
OF women who wore headcoyering of
simple style, and followed modes of dress
IN which the natural ahd graceful lines
OF beauty were preserved without doing
violence to really good taste, while at the
same time serving as decided protest
against the prevailing fashion of the pc
Rod.

sell as well as formerly. OF her first
book, "Valerie Almyer," ten thousand
copies were sold, while the sale other
last novel, "Roslyn's Fortune, has not

Christian Reid is essentially a southern
novelist, but she gives only one phase Of
southern life and characterized of the
refined and cultured class. Livil,o as
she does not far from the wild mountain
region OF western North Carolina. she
might have made her stories STRONGER
and more interesting by describing the

A Song That Saved the Life of a
President.

When Harrison and Tyler we're elected
in 1910, Col. Coke, Of Williamsburg, the
father of the Senator from Texas, remark
ed that Gen. Harrison would rot occupy
the White House year, for Tyler's luck
would kill him-a prediction speedily veri-
Oed. A still mere striking evidence of the
same coed luck, if you will so term it, &C.
Cured few years later, when the life of
President Tyler was in all probability
saved by song. On the 2Sth of February,
1874, President Tyler, with a number of
the members of his Cabinet and party of
invited guests, embarked on the u S.
steamer Princeton, for an excursion down
the Potomac. and to witness the effect of
the firing of a large breech loading gun
called the "Peacemaker." This gun was
the largest that had then been made, re-
curing charge of some thirty pounds of
powder and carrying bali weighing up
wards OF two hundred pounds. The gun
had been discharged several times, and
when the steamer was near Fort Washing
ton. the party sat down to sumptuous
dinner. When dinner was over, some of
the guests, among whom were Hon. A. +.
Upshur. Secretary of State; T. w. Gilmer,
Secretary OF the Navy; Com. Kennon
Virgil Maxey, and Mr.. Gardiner, of New
York, accompanied the commanding off,
Ger, Capt. Stockton, on deck, where, after
putting it to the vote, it was unanimously
decided to fire the big gun again. Presi-

A Battlefield Love Story.
THE WAY A SPENT SOLDIER FOUND !
GOOD SAMARITAN AND GOOD
WIFE.

Speaking OF romantic marriages, there
is probable no man in Congress who can
show better record than Representative
William j. Stone, Of Kentucky, who takes
Oscar Turner's place in the House. The
story Of Stones terrible wound on the bat
tie field was told not long ago, but the
best part of the story was left out. The
battle where he lost his leg was near Gym
thiana, Ky. He vas in the Confederate
service, and after the battle was lying on
the field gasping for water, with his leg
shot away almost to the hip. A Federal
soldier saw him and asked him if he was
not thirsty. He replied that he was, and
the Yankee went off and brought back
canteen full of water. He raised the
wounded man and gave him a drunk, and
then in kindness left his own canteen by
the side Of what he thought to be the dy-
ing rebel. Said he: II will leave this.
as you may want to drink again after
awhile.''
Mr.. Stone lay upon the battle-f field for
some time, hugging the oanteen> to him.
The troops had now all left the field and
none but the dead and dying remained.
At this time number of young ladies
from the town of Cynthiana came to visit
the battle field. They had gathered up
the ramrods scattered among the dead,
and one of them Ending Mr.. Stone still
alive and the hot sun beating Down upon

Buildings, had risen from the table and
assembled three or four of the steps leading
from the cabin to the deck, when his SON.
in-law, VIM. Waller, of Williamsburg
was requested to sing the grand old song,
'sWife, Children and Friend" On hearing
the request, the President said to Major
holland: "Hold on. Major, let US hear
Bill sing Wife, Children and Friends'.''
They accordingly returned to the table,
and while the touching words, "For the
heart draws bill that is Eever protested,
when drawn on the firm of wife. children
and friends,o were waited on the air, the
heavy boom of the Peacemaker rang out
the death knell of some of the noblest men
that ever lived. Had the steps of the
President not been arrested by the song,
he would, doubtless. have been standing

In this connection it may not be amiss
to refer to the popular belief that the tune
of the Star Spangled Banner was original
and coeval with the beautiful words writ
ten by Francis M. Key. Such, however,
is not the case. The tune to which the
words of the Star Spangled Banner were
adapted was that of an old drinking song,
called "Bibo in HE'LL" and commenced
thus
When old Bibo went down to the region below.
Where Lethe and Styx round eternity now,
He awoke and he cried he would be rowed back,
For his soul was adry and he wanted some sack,

dred years old. The words of Yankee
Doodle were also set to the tune of an old
comic song, as have been Informed, by
perhaps the Oldest physician In the State,
who, unfortunately; can only recollect one
of the verses.
