Had = Lovely Neck and Arms and Wore
'' Decoliette Gowns.
Some years ago there vas an old lady
in one of the southern capitals who not
only wore decollctc ball dresses at 80,
ut actually possessed the lovely neck
lid arms which they require, says the
Sew York Ledger. She was most in
.1"cently vain; and no wonder, for she
VAS immensely hattered and her towns
people valued her charms far above
those of her young and more beautiful
rivals. She had q curious way of pre-
caring for a ball, which our modern
fashionable women, with their multi
tudinous engagements would find dit-
ficult to emulate. The morning before
she proposed appearing, in full regalia
she would take brisk walk and re-
turn in time for midday dinner, after
which she remained quiet with her
work until about three or four O'Clock,
when she would retire to her bed, take
very hot ptisan to induce perspiration,
and remain in bed (partnking of some
light refreshment at the tea hour) until
it was time to dress for her ball. Then
she would get up, take q bath and make
the most elaborate toilet. All the house
hold regarded these preparations in the
light of solemn rites, and would never
have d reamed of laughing at them or
interfering with them in any way. Her
appearance was triumph, never fail
ing to excite the greatest admiration
and adulation.

GRANT AS A YOUNG DEeATER.
Took = PromIASnt Part In . Kentucky
Club


Apparently Grant entered the Philo-
mathean Debating club, Maysville, KY,
Cor the first time at its thirtythird meet
ing, January 3, 1897. He took q promi-
nent part at once, says McClure's. BY a
curious coincidence, the question for
this first evening was: Resolved, That
the Texans were not justifable in giving
Santa Anna his liberty In the names
of the debaters this night there a,,-
peared on the record H. U. Grant. He
was on the affirmative side. He was
on the affirmative side at the thirty.
fourth meeting, with this question:
Resolved, That females WELD greater
influence in, society than the males"
The affirmative side won in this case
as-we1l as the other. At the thirty-fifth
meeting his name appears ON the affirm
ative of the question Ca very VITAL ore,
al that time): Resolved, Thatit v'o;:!d
not be just and polite to liberatc the
slaves at this time" Again he was on
the winning side. At the thirty-sixth
meeting the name appears "U. Grant
on the affirmative side of the resolution
that "Intemperance is a greater evil
than war" ''
At the thirty-seventh meeting he was
elected, together with his friend, 4. Il.
Maih!Ard, and w. Richeson, as 1l.eln-
Der OF the committee; he also tool: Yart
in the debate on the question: "EGr
solved, That Socrates was right il aot
e:,caEing when the prison doors v'er,,
opened to him." He tool. Tie :.s;i"r.a-
tive and it was again the successful dc.
And in all the succeeding meet. rma,
down to March 81, 1897, the record
shows him to have been active, Eut after
that date his name does rot appea;..
The probabilities are that he returned
home to help put in the crop.
