be withheld she would feel somewhat neg
lected. She recognizes the fact that the de-
sire to meet her is influenced by admiration
of her husband, which she regards as a
tribute to his memory and which she is
pleased to crafty. Mrs. Grants life has
been one of unusual excitement and activ-
ity. She is living now largely in the past,
and what wonder, for who has such a past
to recall.
In discussing the career Of prominent
Grant has nothing but kind words to say.
She recalls what is happy and pleasant,
forgetS what is sombre and unhappy.
Where public opinion was harsh in judg-
ment, unSparing in criticism of public men,
she throws over all the broad mantle of
charity.
OF Mrs. Lincoln Mrs. Grant speaks most
tenderly; that she went to Washington not
unacQuainted with the usages of the best
society, as was represented, for no young
woman in the country had been better
reared; but the political sentiment of the
city was against her. The citizens met her
coldly, regarding her as coming from the
rowdy West, uncultured, the wife Of Lin
coin, the frontier rail-splitter.
On the occasion of her first public recep-
ton she named the time from 2 TO 4 o'clock,
while Washington had established it one
hour later, set by previous administrations.
When Mrs. Lincoln descended to the recep-
ton room 10 receive her guests none APP
peared. Chagrined and Inundated by the
apparent cut, she retired to ner room and
threw herself on the bed In a passion of
tears. When at 8 O'Clock society began to
arrive her face was so swollen from weep
ing she was unable to present herself, and
Washington RECALLED itself with gossip over
Mrs. Lincoln's lack of good manners.
Her position was a rarely trying one to
fill. and slight charity was shown her. even
through the terrible tragedy that unsettled
her reason and darkened her life.

Are most competent to fully appreciate the
purity, sweetness, and delicacy Of CUTICURA
SOAP, and to discover new uses for 1t daily.
For annoying irritat;ons, chafngs and ex-
coriations Of the skin and mucous membrane or
too free OF offensive perspiration it has proved
most grateful.
In the preparation of curative washes, soiu-
tions, etc., it is most valuable; possessing, by
means of its combination with CuTrcURA, pecu-
larly purifying, cleansing and soothing pro-
per;ies. 1t is thus enabled TO heal mucous irrita-
tions, the cause of many annoying and debilitat-
ing weaknesses, while it imparts strength to
the membrane.
CUTICURA SOAP possesses antiseptic pro-
perties and is capable Of destroying microscopic
life in many forms.
There is no difference between the skin and
the mucous membrane except that one is dry
the other moist. Hence CUTIcURA SOAP exerts
the same purifying, soothing, and healing in.
fiuence in one case as in the other.
Like ali others of the CUTIcURA REMEDIES the
CUTIcURA SOAP appeals to the refined and cul-
tivated everywhere as the most effective skin
purifying and identifying soap as well as the
purest and sweetest for toilet and nursery.
Sale greater than the combined sales OF all
other skin and complexion soaps.
