Discard White Sk irts.

There is nothing that looks NOR,
plebeian at this stage OF the fashiona.
BILE game than white skirt. 1t really
has no more charm than a white
stocking, yet how some women cling
to it! In these days OF black silk
nothing can be worse than q glimpse
of white embroidered or lace
trimmed skirt. Especially in this
city. where there is SO much neces
sity OF raising the dress, are these
dust colored white skirts anything
but beautiful. More than all, they
are conspicuous. A dress raised
showing a black silk skirt trimmed
with a deep tlounce of lace, is scarcely
noticed.
The daintiest style ever known In
undertaking is in vogue at present.
and will see long reign. India ant
China silks are the proper materials,
being light, clean, easily Numbered,
dainty, and in every way desirable.
Four suits of these will outwear a
dozen lace-trimmed muslins, and are
neater than anything ever before
worn.
One OF the trials OF warm weather
is the crocking OF black stockings.
This can be remedied by dipping them
when new and before they are worn
at oil into salt water.

Another time when the old songs

begin to sing one Of the Union songs.
His mates would second him, and soon

Notes About the Ladies'.

Harriet Beecher Stowe celebrated
her seventy-ninth birthday last Sun,
day.
Miss Gardner, the American lady
who has married Gordon Cumming,
has. it is understood, fortune of 500,
900 a year in her own right,
Both Marie Bashkirtseff and Miss
Alcott had longings for,.fame, and both
confided their longings to their
diaries. II Il look in my glass, ,
says Miss Alcott at seventeen, Il try
to keep down my vanity about my
well-shaped head and my good nose. ="
1t was Marie's wealth that made her
unhappy, while 1t was Louisas pow.
erty that clouded her early life.
A comparatively new work, en-
gagged in by women. is that of lady
factotums. For instance, IL lady is
delicate and unfit for domestic cares,
the lady factotum goes to the house,
finds out the condition OF things, sup
erintends the servants, does the mar
keting, the shopping, answers the
notes, delivers messages, and takes
the place OF an elder daughter-all, OF
course, for fair remuneration.
1t is proposed to build great
temple for women on the banks OF the
Potomac, in which each organization
of women will have special depart
ment dedicated to it forever. The
land has already been given, and is
under the control Of the Glen Echo
Chautauqua society. Clara Barton is
to prepare one department for the Red
Cross society, and other well-known
societies will join her. This temple
is called just now the Woman's Para
disc.
Who is the loveliest woman OF the
century," is the question that is agi-
tating G. A. Sala in his Echoes of
the Week" Our own Mary Ander-
son-Navarro comes in as one OF the
contestants for the beauty prize.
Others mentioned up TO the present
time are Mrs. Langtry, the duchess Of
Sutherland. the Empress Josephine,
Louise, queen OF Prussia, Nine Re-
camier, Miss Foote, Pauline Borghee.
Nine. Vestris, Mrs. Rousby, Mrs. Nor
ton and Giulia Grisi. To one woman
not previously mentioned, the Count
ess Cassiglione, Mr.. Sala gives the
palm.
Mrs. Gen. Grant is, so it is said,
aging very rapidly. There has been
a marked change, both in her appear
ance and manner, within the list two
years. Her hair has become we'll sill
vered and her slow uneven steps be-
token the weight of advancing years.
1t is sadly possible that the widow OF
the great commander may not defer
very long that reunion with her Illus
trious husband to which she always
looks forward with unwavering cheer

Lady Waterlow, one OF the lesser

can circles in London, has been very
much missing during the season. Her
beautiful house in Gresham place
and its open hospitality are well
known to all American visitors,
especially to such as hail from the
far West. Lady Waterlow, like the
good and dutiiul wife she is, has been
playing nurse to her sexagenarian
lord and master at Cannes for the
last three months. Sir Sidney was
one OF the first victims to the influenza
and a residence in the south OF France
was consequently insisted upon by his
medical men," Lady Waterlow is a
charming little woman, and in
talking with her 1t seems
quite incredible that in days gone by
she should have seen so much of the
''seamy side" Of life. Her father.
William Hamilton, was OF Irish origin,
her mother Scotch. He was only a
school teacher in New England, but
soon after settling in California his
investments turned up trumps, and
he died well-to-do man. His eldest
daughter, Margaret, now Lady Water.
low, married, when only young girl,
a man by the name of Lee. He abused
and ill-treated her $50 Systematically
that she fed to her father for protec.
ton. A divorce suit followed which
she gained. She then resumed her
maiden name, and some few years later
became Sir Sidney Waterlow's third
wife. She has no children.

Then louder roared the angry tide,
And higher rose the sea,

And stormed the fort and garrison

longed to Co. G, Blind Half Hundred,
and at the time we were OF the left
wing of the Sixteenth Corps, under
Gen. q. NJ. Dodge. Our division
commander was Gen. Sweeny. He
had warm place In his bosom for
our brigade, especially the Blind Hall
Hundred. The boys were disposed
to call him pet names, such as Cor
poral." "Grab-a-root," which made
the General pay close attention to our
boys.
After the battle Of Resaca, Our di-
vision was thrown in front to head of
the Johnnies, with our brigade in ad-
vance. Our brigade was the first
across the Ocmuigee liver. After
crossing, Gen Sweeny ordered us to
advance. We advanced, and did not
get orders to stop except from Joe
Johnston's minions. Well, we know
what three or four regiments could do
in front Of Johnston's army. We did
the best we could.
Now comes the dodge. Our regi-
ment was thrown out on the skirmish-
line. Every man was his own general
then. We were advancing slowly. l
reached rail fence, but did not see
anything TO interest me, so concluded
to cross over.
just after crossing the fence, l no.

A Connecticut lady lost her pocket
book, containing considerable sum
OF money, and was naturally anxious
to recover 1t. She had been shopping
and visiting during the day. and had
ais, seen work. ing about the garden.
A diligent inquiry and search failed
to find the missing article, and finally
she gave up In despair, and said to a
neighbor, II think TN Isend Fido to
hunt my pocket-book. Fido
Scotch terrier, was standing by, and,
after a quick glance at his mistress,
ran o,:t OF the house. He was noticed
soon afterward, hunting and smelling
around the garden. A half-hour
passed, and then Fido scratched at
the door, and, when 1t was opened,
he walked in, bearing the pocket
book in his mouth. He had undoubt-
eddy understood wha. his mistress
said, and his instinct had accom-
plished more than her reason.
