after five weeks public advertisement,
were sold March &C. 1896. by the auditor in

sale was of the usual auction character,
and was attended by about twenty per-
sons. The lands were offered one piece OF

~ W 1StA4 IL Nay t9ncETls an IA
miAiAr with the facts respecting the pur-
chase OF school land for the army post
Site They are accurately set forth IN the
anldaylt OF Mr. Thomas W. prosch- The
act or congress providing for the estab-
Eshment OF an army post on Puget Sound
required the donation or nos less than 64o
acres or land as q site. The location of
the post on Magnolia bluH near Seattle
having been recommended by the general
OF the army and commission OF officers
or the army. and approved BY the secre-
tary OF war. the chamber of commerce
undertook TO secure the land required. A
part OF the land embraced within the site
was school land. The chamber OF COM
merce, through its representative. Mr..
Prosch. applied TO the board OF state land
commissioners for the appraisal and sale
OF this land. 1t also applied for the ap-
pra.sal and sale of other school land lying
TO the north OF the town OF Ballard, for
the purpose OF exchanging IL for land be-
longing TO private owners lying within
the site. The application was granted and
the appraisal and sale were made in the
manner detailed by Mr.. Prosch. The sale
was IN my opinion to the advantage of the
state. inasmuch as the pr,.e realized was
higher than could have been obtained
from any other purchaser, and the estao-
lishment of the army post will enhance
the value OF other land in the vicinity
owned by the state OF Washington.

glass jars are used. keep the fruit or vcgeta-

- INCE the world began women have
been accused OF vanity, and, while
admitting that she does possess her
share OF the not exclusively femi-
nine failing. the impartial observer
must acknowledge that. as rule. even the
most beautiful women are dissatisfied with
their own appearance. The statuesque
woman. 'divinely tall. divinely fair" envies
the petite, fluffy-haired blonde, while the
said blonde would give half her curls for
two inches of her Juno-llke sisters height.
But. after all, blue eyes or brown eyes,
Grecian nose or pug nose, what does 1t
matter? The charm of woman lies not in
beauty. but in inditiduality-if she could
but be brought to understand that fact.
1t isn't the details that count. 1t is, as
Trilby says. the altogethcr"-her car
riage, her MANNER, her voice, her express
sion; in short, herself that makes or un-
makes her charm.
1t is the woman, then. that has the cour-
age to be herself who attracts. Originals
are 80 much more desirable than copies; no
matter how accprate' the copy may be. II
it be natural 10 wear ones hair in careless
fashion, by nIl means do so. Nature is
never mistaken. But let the admiring sis
'SA, NbOth hdutt ~
he tailor-mad6 girl, beware of that dis:
order; in her it would cease to be artistic;
it would be simply untidy. Let every
woman dare to be herself; develop her
own individuality. not biindly copy some
other woman, whom, 1t may be, her hus-
band happens TO admire. Let her think for
herself, act for herself, and express her
own honest opinions.
Individuality. when combined with that
something called manner. is the
most potent weapon in the possession OF
the sex; 1t Ia this which has given many n
woman reputation for beauty
which bona file beauty, with fauitless
face and features, has sighed in vain TO
attain.

Among the most valuable, though unob-
trusivc, members of the d. A, R., just adj
iourned, is Mrs. Emily s. Chace, of Rhode
Island. With charming personality,
petite and gracious, which makes her
leader in the social circles Of her conserva-

ability, well known in charitable and philan-
thropic organizations.
She is also general secretary Of the Ma

thoroughly informed in the historic and
economic principles of political action.
Mrs. Chace is still in the city, accom-

Providence. Gen. Chacc's commanding pres
cnce was often seen among the visitors
at the Congress. His long connection with

patriotic attempt of American women to
