4 Plan for the Revival OF an Old Custom
Suggested.


In olden days. when armies went
forth to battle all in their armor
dressed, the flag they carried in the
forefront of their ranks was worked
and embroidered by the hands of fair
ladies at the court. who thus visibly
signaled to every man who carried
sword or halbert the hopes, sympa-
thies and good wishes of those whose
limbs were unfit for the rough expert
ence of war. 1t is a custom which in
modern days has nearly gone out of
fashion. Recently, says the London
Telegraph, the Andrea Doria, an Ital-
ian battleship, was presented with
colors worked by the ladies of the city
of Genoa, and the hosting of the sym
Dol to the mast was made the occasion
of great rejoicing. A correspondent in
the Queen asks why something of the
same kind should not be done in Eng
land. II is believed that no ship of
the British navy has ever left port car
rying an ensign worked and presented
by the ladies of England. And vet it
would be difficult to imagine more
appropriate flag for any vessel,
whether entering into battle, liberat-
ing slaves from terrible cruelty or car
rying a message Of peace and protec-
ton to the oppressed than one made
by the hands of women at home. The
correspondent suggests that ladies
should bestir themselves in this direc-
ton and make beginning by present
ing to a battleship silk ensign
worked by themselves.
