down in defense of American liberties for
the cause of reuniting America, and he
would ask no more comfortable bed TO

defense of English liberties and the re-
uniting of Englands provinces.
He reiterated his statemen: concerning
the in>ital0n of American institutions

mother. I'VE are English" he said

keep the high standard of England

States, no matter what his politics. but
paid more glorious tribute to Queen
Victoria and closed his address with the
utterance, IAN honor and

principles of the Sons of St George than

Oh, My!

The Fourth ward is all torn up in a
political sense, that is the smaller or re.
publican portion OF it. The ward Is en-
titled to four delegates to the county con
ventiop, and the four leading candidates
for states attorney reside therein. 1t is
understood that three of the candidates
are agreeable to a delegate apiece, but
this compromising spirit is not shared by
one of the ambitious souls, he declaring
that he can capture the entire delegation.
This sentiment is likely to breed a good
sized row in the ward caucus if truce is
not declared before the sun sets Saturday
evening There is one thing pretty GER
tain, however. and that is that the Fourth
ward will take the states attorney prize
in the convention, but whether it will be
O'Mara. Olsen. Sturgeon or Hass, is a
mere matter of conjecture.

cold Squire Drury," after whom
"Drury" township and "Drury's landing,
In Rock Island county, were named, died
in Cheyenne county, Kansas, last month. .
His age was eighty years. Mr. Drury
was born in Pickaway county, Ohio, in
1903. and removed with his parents to
Indiana in 1911. coming to Illinois in
1884, settling first in Mercer county,
where he was elected the first sheriff the
county ever had. In'lS37 he removed to
Rock Island county, where he continued
to reside until 1887. In that half centu-
ry he continually held a township office,
occupying the position of justice, super
visor and assessor in succession. He was
known far and wide as Squire Drury."
In 1913 he married Melinda Bentley, who,
with two sons, is left to mourn his loss.
Last year he went to Kansas to reside
with one of his sons and there he died.

One summer the writer sailed along
the coast on a chowder expedition, on
board the good sloop Venus, command
ed by that joval and talented tar, Capt.
Hardalee of Sculpin Bay. After our
craft had found her way to small and
picturesque indentation of the Maine
shore, the duty of making the chowder
fell TO Capt. Hardalee and the cook
stove of the Venus.
The Captain was a tall and sinewy
man with pair of hands that looked
like anchor flukes: bat those hands
piled the utensils of culinary art, and
soon a familiar aroma came from the
cab n of the Venus and attracted the
writer thither. He saw Capt. Hardalee
bending over the chowder kettle with
a great chunk of pork in one hand and
Il tishknife in tho other, slicing gen
erous bits of pork and letting them fall
into the kettle. But the fire did not
burn to suit the Captain. Taking OF
one OF the stove covers, he stirred up
the charming sticks with his fishknife,
then resumed cutting his pork with
magnificent complacency. The knife
cut as well as ever but the fire burned
no better.
In minute or two the stove cover
came off again, and down went the
Captains iuke-liko hand into the fire
box! 1t fearlessly grasped the half
consumed sticks, agitated the sputter-
ing Goals, and the blaze sprung up.
Then the hand went back to the pork
and what a glorious chowder we had -

med abstemiousneSs of Lent.
The bellies go abroad in evening
fnery, Notwithstanding that there arc
no balls, operas, or grand receptions at
this season. Tut it is becoming the
custom among the rich to go to card
parties, small suppers, and other mod
crate occasions in what is called full
dress-that is to say, in gowns sleeve
less and low at the neck. The picture
here shows dress with an open bod
leo and plisse underskirt in mordore
satin; across the front is scarf in
white gauze spangled with little cam
eos. The ccinturc and large bows are
in dark bronze silk, the remainder of
the dress being white lace. Mrs. Lang
try has issued the ukase that the dress
improver is to go. The "Lily's" idea of
perfect dress is one of which the skirt
falls to the ground; not full enough to
be clumsy, nor yet scant enough to be
round, but just full enough and round
enough to follow the wearer and not go
with her." 1t is impossible not to la
ment that the arbitress of fashion was
not little less ambiguous in the latter
part of her definition of the ideal gar
ment. \ dress that declined to "go
with" one might sometimes prove q
little embarrassing. ut Mrs. Langtry
j. hardly an accepted authority on
dress here in New York, and what l
have pictured may be accepted as the
latest approved style in Fifth avenue.
Novelties in toilets for bridesmaids
are not quite so scarce as changes in
the costuming of brides themselves,
and yet | am able to tell that New
York will, as soon as the Lenten season
is over and spring weddings become
numerous, provide something entirely
new in that line. The gowns which
promise to be most worn by brides
maids during the forthcoming season
are cmbroideries in colOred silks upon
ivory white Swiss muslin, made OK
quisitely soft and suitable for draping
by means of an ingenious Indian fin
ish. The delicate colors of these beau
tiful fabrics almost defy description,
and, in addition to their artistic APP
pearance, they have the enormous add
vantage of washing well, so that they
are exceedingly economical, as well as
becoming and smfrt-loOking, from the
first day of wearing to the last. The
idea in the arrangement of these gowns
is to contrive them so that bridesmaids
of various compilations may choose the
prevailing tint best likely to suit. TIL"
blondes can select pale turquoise blue
or delicate old gold, while the bru-
nettes can rejoice in vivid crimson or
pale pink. Although the colors of the
silk embroidery may thus be entirely
different, yet sufficient similarity of de-
sign is insured by the identity of the
white ground, which is in all cases
identlcally the same. Thewhole effect
of rosebud garden of girls" attired
in these altogether charming gowns
must be seen to be appreciated. Some
of the most striking of the new color
ings include a delicate shade of m IS
green, beautiful deep red, and several
new tones of copper and old gold. A
novel notion is the combination of two
harmonizing shades of color in one en-
broiderY. For. instance, moss green

A Budget OF Breezy Gossip Re-
Iating Exclusively to the
Fair Sex.
Accompanied by Some Notes on the
Ever Changing Styles in Fcmi-
nine Attire.

The fashionable young woman at
home becomes more and more an
adorned object of beauty. lime was
when she reserved her careful house
toilets for the afternoon or evening.
but now she is as deliberately CARRIED for
mornings, and that is why in this cor
respondence pictures are so frequently
made of what are nominally called
breakfast gowns. These are not the
hasty and somewhat slouchv wrappers
of aforetime, but are good enough to
be kept on throughout the forenoon,
and in which to receive callers. The
example which 1 have sketched was on
the shapelv figure of q very young
widow, and the section of black ma
terial down the front of the corsage
and skirt is for mourning. The rest of
the dress is white, with a sprinkling Of
tiny black spots.
Speaking of dressing within doors,
our fashionable women are giving
luncheon parties very profusely and
handsomely during Lent. The host
ess invites about dozen of her femi-
.line friends, and these lunchers have
tlken to the entirely new whim of
httIIiIS bOulltlS VII IhO
meal, although it frequently lasts as
much as three hours, the time being
filled by number of lcisurely and
very laxative courses. Hats will not
do for the purpose. The millinery for
these occasions must be in the form of
bonnets, and wonders of constructive
art they are. 1t looks old to see ia
bic surrounded by women with bon
nets on, the only exception being the
hostess. 1t is a custom to select n col
or for these lunche ons, and to make
the decorations and some of the food
correspond in hue. For instance, at
pink luncheon this week the ribbons
which tied the cards, the candy boxes,
and the ice cream forms, were pink,
and so was the cream itself, the lobster
salad, the claret punch, the sauces for
several Of the viands, and much of the
crockcry. AS to tho tables, the aim
generally is for rarity and oddity, and
the more unusual the dishes are the
greater is deemed the success, Cham
payne is ordinarily favorite wine with
women, and 1t flows freely at these
