There once was girl who carried the

that would sound fearfuily silly in a
person of my age, married. and with
baby and all, are just thought TO be
deliciously innocent and girlish in de-
butante. Pink cheeks and dimples carry
off so much. After all, one must learn TO

bushes have cooled Il bit, and that first

her trials and perplexities, too. Such

NO END OF THINGS.
There is really. when one comes to
think of Il, no end of things that TINS
apparently care-free girl debutante must
be busy with learning. one is to drop
most OF her schoolgirl slang ana be
rather more careful with her sentences.
Another Is to steer carefully between
the danger Of being n "giady gusher' or
a tiresome young prig. To learn that
notes must be answered at once and eli
engagements carefully kept, even II they
happen not to be amusing ones. she
must learn, too, the hard lesson or gov

her talk. lest she ALLEVIATE friends ana
get herself into difficulties. which Is, per-
baps, the most difficult lesson OF all.
Then there Is the lesson to be learned or

the sensation. lest one wound the feelings
of kindly people. who are unlucky enough
to be duh. 1t will be necessary TO teach
herself how to be rid OF bores without
being rude. which is a whole art in ITSELF
and again how to meet all impertinences
with dignity. and how TO relieve the shy

confidence. Let the debutante never think

why Not Park Appomattoxr


The action Of the Post-Ofce Depart
m mt In e0ecting an official efface-
mcnt OF "AppOmattOX" by transferring
the postal name from the old historic
site 10 thrifty village three miles away
has stirred up hornets nest Of protest
and criticism. The structures passed upon
the action Of the postal authorities are
just and deserved. History should not
Ice ruthlessly falsihel and names made
memorable by the greatest events in our
rational career should not be used as
shuttie-cOcks Of either official or pro-
VnCial caprice. There is and should he
but one "Appomattox." and that is where
the world famous and tlmc-memorable
capitulatiOn of Lee and the Lost Cause
occurred. That spot Of acute historic
emphasis. halluwcd in the memories OF
the actors in its significant scenes by
rccollcctons divided between ChiValrous
melancholy and martial glory should be
preserved In name. in honor. and In pa
triOtic protection.
The government has purchased and
magniicently parked the great field CT
Gettysburg. 1t has bought and is bring
ing into splendid beatifcauon the bloody
battle-ground Of Chickamauga. Now II is
to secure the famous field Of Shiloh and
convert 1t into great national park,
rich in monuments commemorative of the
events Of the fateful struggle that ragged
over its slopes and sedge-nelds and
through its sombre woods We applaud
these several instances Of historic salvage
and protection. but we 20 further and
ask why not also purchase Appomattox
and convert that spot of immortal memo
ries into one Of the series of great ma
tional parks?
Appomattox is ever more deserving
Of such honor preservation, and pub
lie usage than Gettysburg. Chicka-
uagua, or shiloh. They were incidents
along the current Of the wars progress,
but AppomattoX was the scene OF
the grand finale. the elimination OF
those fortunes which the other great
events had influenced afar and more or
less Appomattox brought face to face
the great oppOsitions, the emaciated,
dccimated remnants of the Confederate
corps hesitant before the hearty, flushed,
and over-mastering odds of the massed
best battalicns OF the Federals 1t was
the unprc cedcntcd picture OF exhausted
ValOr debating its duty toward the de-
mands Of a confident. countless, and
triumphing enemy. The panorama or
that occasion has never and viii never
be paralleled Lee ana Grant with all
that lay b~ilnd them OF internecine his
tory. and all that opened before them
Of national destiny-Grant debating terms

What grander event has America to
honor than that of Appomattox? Now

SPOT Of national interest and historic
teaching. Virginia, the stage Of the fun
four acts OF the chief tragedy of the
war; has not been honored as yet with
these memorial offices Of the govern
Inc1t. but her day has come 10 ask this
recognition and ask IL for AppomattoX.
