WOMAN AND HOME.
THE TOMB OF MAhAL,

Erected In Memory OF . Woman by N
| Indian King - Twenty Thousaad lsen
Worked Two decades to Complete tt
Built OF Pure White Marble and Lo-
Gated In q Charming Garden.
Even in modern times, as well as an
Client, has it been the pleasure Of man
to enshrine in some enduring form the
memory Of loved ones gone on before,
and these memorials have taken many
shapes. More than two centuries ago
Shah Jehan. a potentate Of India, lost
his beloved wife, Mahal, and erected
for her tomb, which should tell to the
world his thoughts of her.
For nearly two decades twenty thou
sand men were employed to complete
this structure, whose whiteness should
reflect her purity and virtue, and whose
perfect symmetry indicate her lowell
ness. All that boundless wealth and
richest art and endless love could give
were focused in the superb structure
now known as the TAI Mahal," or
tomb of Mahal. It stands on broad
plain little way from the city Of Agra,
with its snowy feet bathed In the
river Jumna. High walls block out tho
garden where it lies from the turmoil
Of the kings highway, and a noble por-
tai admits one In the hallowed pre-
cincts.
My first view Of it was by midnight.
Directly before me was O long pond,
bordered by stone walks, whish were
hemmed in by lofty cypress trees,
throwing their pointed heads far up
in the evening sky and away down at
the end of the vista Of shrubbery rose
the famous Tai, matchless, imperial
and almost angelic!
1t is square structure, with four
corner domes and one immense central
dome, all made Of the purest white
marble. Its windows are screens Of
the same material, and its adornments
consist Of mosaics and . profusion Of
delicate tracery in fair white marble.
With measured tread and slow, one
walks down this long avenue and comes
under the very brow Of the tomb, and
feels the mighty greatness Of Tai. with
its splendid dome rising like q rounded
cloud two hundred and fifty feet In the
Indian heavens. 1t sits on huge plat

square, at either corner Of which rises
. long, slender minaret Of marble.
One enters reverently, for queen Is
here, and gazes up into the dim re-
cesses Of the splendid dome Of solid
stone unsupported by any arch or pill
lar, and then, indeed, the magic spell
of the Tai comes over you, enchants,
permeates and enfolds you in its ire.
sistible influence.
You abandon yourself to witchery
totally unlike that to be felt in any
other place in the whole world, for here
beauty, life, death and sound with COM
bined forces make you captive.
The echo is marvellous, wet it will
not render back i'll noises or a rude and
scurrile sound; but if some woman's
lips and gentle breath utter q strain, If
some soft bar be played, some verse Of
Indian love lament, the white walls
take the notes and reverberate their
melting antiphones. Low waves OF
harmony encounter other waves rip
ping on the rounded milky shores, and
fainter and higher the music signing,

An effective garniture for an evening
waist is made Of white satin ribbon,
embroidered with tiny gilt spangles in
terspersed with an occasional spangle
of rose-hued glass. The ribbon should
be about an inch wide. Two rows serve
for the stock collar. two for the belt,
and a single row is brought from each
side of the collar Ia front and passed
around under the arms and carried
down to the waist line in the back and
tucked into the belt.

The gathering OF the chiefs Of railway
labor organizations at Washington in con-
nection with the differences between the
Southern Railway Company and its EN-
ployes permits the inference that there
Is a probability Of a strike Of the en-
ployes Of that company. Not enough Of
the facts Of the controversy have been
made public 10 justify an opinion as to
whether the employees have good cause for
striking In general way it g. known
that while the roads Of the system were
IN the hands Of a receiver wages were re-
duced, and that there was some sort of
an understanding that wages would be
restored when the roads OF the system
were reorganized. Reorganization has
been completed. and some time ago de-
mand for the restoration of wages was
made. This demand has been met by
the statement that the hard times do
not Justify an Increase Of the wages that
are at present paid; that the prices Of
the necessaries of life have declined
greatly within the last few years. and that
the purchasing power of the wages paid
ANW II Hltelti tAldh WIS the
power Of wages paid four or five years
ago.
In their demand for a restoration of
wages the employees should. Of course.
take into consideration the company's
financial condition. and also the purchas-
ing power Of their present wages, as
compared with the purchasing power OF
the wages they formerly received. They
certainly ought to be careful not to make
the mistake Of giving up their places I'M
less they are certain they can improve
their material condition by doing so. a
strike means deprivation and suffering,
and those who have the settlement of
wage differences should not adopt radical
measures to carry their point, unless
they feel satisfied OF success. For en-
ployes to go on a strike with the chances
Of winning it against them would be the
hight of folly.
