Fa(ls in Hat Pins,

Hat pins are growing in elaborateness and
expensiveness every day. Every conceiv-
able design is made in rhinestones silver,
steel, gilt, gold and even jewels. A round
ball seems the favorite conceit, and very
effective it is in rlIinestones, steel or what
is called agate-a transparent blue glass,
set with miniature Jewels The most useful
and Inexpensive black headed hat pin is no
longer possible, alas! and if we cannot af-
ford real jewels, gold or silver we must
deck ourselves in gaudy limitations thereof
or be considered hopelessly behind the
times.
The designs in silver are very varied and
sometimes Srotesquely inappropriate. A
small Cupid, poised on a ball, may be artis-
tic, but is certainly not appropriate to hold
on a hat, and yet this is only one of many
equally remarkable pins

Circular Letter No. 3,C.-State Of South
DaKota, Office OF the Adjutant General
MITCHELL, s. D., April 8, 1895.
10 THE SOUTH DAKOTA NATIONAL
GUARDS:
You are undoubtedly aware that the
last legislature failed to make an appro-
prlatlon for the maintenance Of the S.
u. n. g., for the period of two years,
from July l, 1896.
1t is not believed that this was the re-
suit OF any hostility to the guard, but
largely the result OF an embarrassed
treasury, and the evident necessity for
retren-hment. .
While we of the guard regret exceed
lngly that such action resulted, we must,
IKE r soldiers, gracefully submit and
show by our patriotic conduct that we
are loyal citizens of our commonwealth
and ever ready to sustain the admins
tration IN It's efforts to properly serve
the people.
These changed conditions, however
compel us to inform you that after June
~, 1895, all appropriations for the var
lous departments. including field and
staff officers, as we'll as each company in
the guard, will cease, except for the de-
partment OF the quarter master general,
for which a small appropriation was
made.
This leaves but two courses open for
us to pursue. One Of which must be
adopted, to-w1t: Actual disbanGment.
or a continuation on the basis of each
company meeting all It's incidental ex-
penses, including arrnery rent, etc. If
it is decided to continue, each company
will be required to make regular reports,
as heretofore, and the quartermaster
general will continue to supply equip
ments. ordinance and clothing, as our
supplies from the general government
would then be continued.
Each company commander is directed
to at once lay this matter befor. his
command, and report to these head
quarters at the earliest moment possible
which it shall be. disbandment or q con
tinuation under the new condition.
We feel confident that should the var
lous companies, or any portion of them
elect to continue their organization, the
various heads OF departments and the
field and staff officers, will gladly serve
in their various POSITIONS, and without
pay.
Kindly present the matter to your
command in it's true light, and advise at
once OF the conclusions reoched.
By direction of
Gov. CHARLES H. SHELDON,
Commander-in-Chlef.
