A FAMOUS HOOK.

Livermore.

! my story ofthe war" by Mrs. Mary A
Livermors.
In this new and superbly illustrated
work, the world.famous Mary A. Liver
more narrates her personal work and eK-
periences as hospital and field nurse dur.
ing the war OF the rebellion. We do not
know when 200 pages have given US more
genuine pleasure. Mrs. Liver,nore
spent four years as nurse
front, and on the battlefield, and these
four years we're packed With pathos, glory
and sacrifice probably never paralleled in
the lite ut any other woman. Her narrs--
tive presents q vivid inner picture of the
womanly aide OF the war. more especially
OF her own work and thrilling experiences.
with many pathetic and humorous Incl.
dents portraying tho lights and shadows
Of hospital life. These are described ~
only an eyewitness and tender hearted
woman could describe them. .
u 10 story never to be forgotten.
When che first entered upon her hospital
career deathly fsintness came over her,
but sha nerved herself for the work that
had TO be done. and soon became accus.
toned TO 1t. For four years she held her.
self In iron control. and gave herself up 10
moeherly ministrations to the sick and
wounded Of the rank and file.
We regard this splendid book as q
wholly unique work, for 1t presents the
womanly, or what may be very properly
termed the heavenly side of the war. Il

Green has in no way lost it's hold
upon the fashionable fancy. All the
imported gowns and bonnets for the
autumn trade, which are just begin
ming to come through the custom
house, show some shade of green
all the shades of bottle, Lincoln,
gray and mignonette green for
street wear, absinthe, lime, lettuce
and water-green for evening. A
good deal ofred has made it's appear
ance at Newport within the last
month. Miss Hargous, who is dark,
and to whom the color loved by car
dinals is extremely becoming, has
brought home with her from Europe
several very vivid-colored articles OF
attire which are rapidly finding i'm
mitators. One of them is a scarlet
yachting cap which she found in Lon
don, where they are popular this
summer. They are frequently seen
at Cowes on the yachts there. Flies
new bride wears one of them, it is
said. Miss Hargous' costume is all
of scarlet cashmere, cut in a small
square front, with short sleeves, and
worn with black bathing slippers.
The hat shops on Broadway have
had in their windows lately scarlet
derby hats which are being worn on
horseback in the country by the
very young girls.
