MAY HAVE SHOT MY BOY.
The Peculiar Phase. of War illustrated
by an Incident.

The peculiar Phases of War illustrated
by an Incident.
My father had been summoned
from neighboring state, says A. H.
Nickerson, in Scribner's, and soon
after he came an incident occurred
that APPLY illustrates the peculiar
phases of this war. He became very
much interested in the Confederate
soldier who was lying in my tent,
and was careful to divide any luxury
he got for me with him. The man,
though apparently grateful, said
little, and l think half suspected that
my father was not aware that he be-
louged to the Confederate army.
One day, however, the old gentleman
had prepared couple of milk
punches, and while Johnnie" was
partaking of his, he suddenly asked
him to what regiment he belonged.
The patient hesitated for moment
and then answered, 1.-The til Mis-
sissippi."
1.-The til Mississippi" echoed the
good Samaritan. as he staggered and
nearly fell to the ground. "Why,"
said he, ''you may be the very man
who shot my boy!" and the tears
sprang to his eyes at the thought.
In moment more he had recovered
his equanimity, and taking the
wounded Confederate by the hand.
said: ''Never mind, my boy; pardon
me for having such an unwelcome
thought l am sure you bef1eved you
were doing your duty, whatever you
did,
was quite proud that, from this
time on until all the Confederates
were removed from among the Union
troops and placed in a camp by them
selves, my father showed the man
even more attention than he did me,
so anxious was he to demonstrate
that he made no difference because
he might have "shot his boy.''

Women Helpers In the Church.

The setting apart of the deaconesses in
Holy Trinity church two weeks ago,
with the similar dedication in Boston of
three women as deaconesscs i'll the Meth
odist church on FremoHeStreet, short
time ago, clearly emphasizes the need of
such helpers i'll Christian work 1t is
not so long ago when such public DEM
onstration as this would have been I'M
welcome and severely criticised as an
unwarranted extension of power to
Christian womanhood. But every good
custom creates its necessity and useful
ness. There arc peculiar features of
Christian work which alone can be done
by this sex. We are gradually getting
to comprehend this. 1t lis not withdraw
ing any special rights from the minister,
but supplementing all his efforts with
an influence which woman's way and
thought make so essential nowadays.
The late Bishop Bedell of tho Episco-
pal church affirmed in 1878 "that no one
thinks of questioning in these days the
Brightness of woman's work" 1t has so
gradually grown into tho work of the
church that it has come to stay, and Or
CARNATIONS for the general welfare of
the community along the lines of moral
and spiritual discipline must assign GER
tain aspects of their growth to woman's
overseeing. The Woman's auxiliary in
the diocese of Massachusetts is promi-
nent instance of this, and other societies
pursuing the same course bespeall their
own usefulness i'll the wonderful agrees
i've work they are capable of accom-
plishing. Look at the career of Miss
Whately among the Copts and Moham-
medans in Cairo, and is thercnot evidence
in that one solitary example why there
is dependence upon female management
and instruction:-Bos Transcript

zinc Dresses mt Auction.

There was an auction sale OF young
woman's wardrobe the other day in New
York. The young woman was the daugh-
ter of n millionaire who died about six
weeks ago, the auctioneer said, and she
was disposing of her wardrobe because
she had to go into mourning. 1t is a com
mon custom i'll Europe TO dispose of prop
crty i'll this way. but it was new de-
parturc for this country. The articles
sold included evening costumes by
Worth, Felix, Kerteaux and Robinson.
Thirty women and as many men attend
ed the sale. The bidding was lively, but
the prices brought were nothing in COM
parison to the alleged cost.
An elaborately trimmed evening cos
tune of royal purple velvet, with gold
embroidery, made by Felix of Paris,
which originally cost, so the auctioneer
said. $1,000. was knocked down for $40.
A nile green silk evening dress, by Fc-
lix, brought Sl7. a fur trimmed Jacket
made by Robinson was sold for 500. The
other articles were sold at prices rang
ing from 81 to $l5. The entire proceeds
were not more than $j0O.-New York

a Woman physician.s Dress.

Perhaps the most practical walking
dress for woman which has ever ap-
pcared on the streets of San Francisco is
that Worn by Mrs. S. c. Smith, n ply
sician. The costume is short princess
dress, reaching two or three inches be-
low the knee. 1t is worn over trousers
very much the same as those claimed by
the male sex. Mrs Smith, in speaking
of the peculiar gown to reporter, said
that she first wore the union undergar-
mcnts without amy bands or compress
sions about the waist, or in fact any
other part of the fody. Over this she
Wore what is commanly known to ladies
us the good sense" waist.
The trousers are made after the pat
tern of those which usually go with a
lady's riding habit The trousers are not
held up by suspendcrs, but are fastened
to the waist by safety pins. Corsets are
not worn, and there is no strain upon
any part of the body to hold the gar
ments i'll place. The waist fits the body,
and the weight of the clothes is distrib-
utcd and hot sustained from the waist
OF shoulders. The outer garment is made
exactly as Il princess dress, except it is
shorter, falling only few inches below
the knee and long enough to come over
the knees when sitting down. The main
idea of the dress is to do away with tho
long trailing sliirts.-San Francisco Let

Costly ISuthtul,s.

Cleanliness is next to godliness, and
therefore the wealthy New York host
esses who are just now indulging in ex-
quisito and costly bathtubs must be very
nearly angels. Mrs. Langtry's $4,000

Paran Stevens enameled hand painted

chids of violet and cream tints, with
etchings Of Greek figures III the flowers.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor has q peculiarly
beautiful shell-like arrangement for her
daily dip. The edge is bound with
sponges, from which ooze 1000 little
streams of warm and cold water. In the
center of this delicate and luxurious Dor
der are enameled jasmine flowers con-
tanning the sweet essence of their genu-
inc sisters i'll the sunny south
Mrs. Astor adores the jasmine per-
fume, and the little mako believe buds
and blooms evidently appreciate her
tribute, for they give forth their contents
sweetly while their charming owner
bathes. Now, Miss Helen McAllister,
daughter of the famous Ward, does
not believe i'll too much luxury as re-
CARDS matters of the toilet, and her
bathroom is perhaps the plainest fur

1t is not unusual now to see silver or
gold shoe buttons on the latest French
boots. These are not of course put up
on walking boots, but on those for car
riage, reception, or house wear, when the
boot is of velvet, satin or brocade. Their
use is not uncomm on. In some of the
French shops ieweled shoe buttons have
appeared, such rs turquoise, amethyst,

The Married Furt.

The RELOCATION Of the married fiirt to
her proper sphere and duties is beyond
the power Of any single individual. So
ciety could make the necessary protest,
but it does not, for if society is any
thing it is mountaineering. 1t looks we'll
to it that the outside, the general public
appearance of its members, is respect
able. With faults not found out it does
not trouble itself. A charge must be
definitely made before it feels any neces-
sity to take cognizance of it, and society
knows well that these married sirens
draw like magnets. Besides, each enter
tainer declares: 81 am not my sisters
keeper. nor am I her inquisitoT or con-
fessor. If her husband tolerates the
pretty woman's vagaries, what right
have |, what right has any one, to say n
word about herr"
But it is fact that if society frowned
on wives who arrogate to themselves the
privilege both of young girls and wives
the custom would become stale and Of
fensive. If it would cease to recognize
young married women who are on the
terms with their husbands described by
Millament in 1.-THE Way of World"
young married women would behave
themselves better. 1t is generally
thought that Mr.. Congreve wrote his
plays for very dissolute age. In real
ity they seem to have been written for a
decorous, rather straitlaced generation,
if we compare it with our own.-Mrs.
Amelia l.. Barr i'll North American Re-
