together. but varieties where the big dots
were a long distance apart made sharp
faced women and plump-faced women a.
like look ludicrous.
Such a veil could be arranged by no
woman without having the dot on her
nose land this splotch of black would
either get on the top of long nose or
the middle of short one The effect is
better imagined than described. If you
want a dotted veil for the summer, you
must get one with a fine spider-web
mesh, having tiny dots of chenille not too
close together upon it. Then arrange it
| to suit your face and your chapeau.
If your neck dressing is rather low or
your throat very long, then have your
veil sufficiently large to allow a great
deal of it to be draped under the chin.
If your hat happens to be small,do {
have great wad of yelling to be tied at
the back of it, hiding its outline as well
as it's trimming. It's worth your while
| to sit down in front of your dressing
table and try on your various wells with
your various hats.
What? Colored veils They are as alb
solutely dead, as far as the fashionable
wardrobe is concerned, as are the enor-
nous sleeves that stamp frock as hav-
ing been made three years ago. People
who have just come from Paris tell that
white wells in real lace are the vogue
there. However, white veil is decidedly
trying, not only to the complexion, but
to the eyes. Hence they are approved by
people who sell eyeglasses.
A magazine that makes specially OF
publishing old poetry was picked up by
me, and / read that poem by Tennyson
called 'Tears, Idle Tears" No woman
would ever have said tears were idle.
1t took a man to do that Tears are at
once great comfort and wonderful
help. Properly managed, they are the
finest weapon in the feminine armory. 1t
is only when a woman gets very red in
the face and her eyes swell that they are
mot to be INDUCED in, but even then,
with the careful dabbing of a dainty
handkerchief, slight practice in tears
is possible.
Weeping is the sharpshooting of the
gentle sex. 1t is very direct and seldom
fails in its aim. A woman should cry for
anything, from a moon to a millionaire.
and her chances for getting either will
be greatly increased by the proper intro

seasons when tears are silly and of no
earthly use, being merely waste of am
intuition. but properly directed tears will
nine times out of ten PROSTATE at your
feet either the special moon or the special

or ilIustrlous ancestry, handsome,
winning, brilliant, gifted, diligent, high
spirited, every means of cultivation had
been his. He had everything to insure
his attainment Of permanent success. and
yet, how melancholy the failure. He
was so gifted and yet so unwise so gen
erous and yet so unprincipled. His
goodness was 'amia bilty, not fixed in
telligcnt principle" "He was kept right
by public opinion and by natural in
climation to the popular and easy vir-
tues, but alas! he could not "stand the
test Of time and of that fatal touch
stone, opportunity"
Popular judgment, which condemned
him, was not entirely in the wrong, but
we must admire his redeeming qualities.
though we cannot forgive his faults.
At the age Of eighty he died-'tenderly
nursed and cared for by the friends who
still chung to him. He lies buried at the
feet of his forefathers in the historic
town Of Princeton, the spot being marked
by handsome monument of marble and
granite erected by an unknown hand.

HER HUSBANDS LOVE LETTERS

She'd been up in the attic,
This little wife Of mine,
A-rummaging and tumbling,
For what, / can't divine.
But suddenly / noticed
A silence weird and strange,
And wondered what had happened
To cause this pensive change.
.s...a4 ~
For quite AN hour / listened,
And then, alarmed, stole
Up to the lonely chamber,
My conscience to console,
And, we'll, would you believe 1T!
/ found her reading low
Love letters that / wrote her
Some fourteen years ago!
Her face was wreathed in bushes,
Her dreamy eyes half closed;
Her heart was beating wildly
You'd thought I'd just proposed,
Strewn round her were those tokens
That spoke from heart to heart;
Good saints! What founts Of passion
A faded sheet will start.

ART OF VEIL WEARING

That bit of tissue worn over every wom-
ans face and called a veil is not only q
matter of great Importance just now, but
a something that requires special study
given to it. The other day at the races

that there was a woman that is fash
iona0le woman or a well-dressed woman
who did not have over her face some sort
of veil. The veil with the huge chin

1.-THE OLD NORTH STATE"
An Incident Showing How the Singing
of '.The Old North State" Electrified
the People.

To the Editor: In your editorial few
days ago you called attention to the cor
respondence between Gen. De Rossett
and Capt Stronach in regard to the song
THE Old North State" As a patriotic
North Carolinian and one who loves his
native State / hope to see that the song
is played by every band within our bor5
ders.
This recalls to mind an incident that
happened ait a large gathering composed
of North Carolinians. VirginianS, and
some from other States. A prominent Vir-
ginian led Virginia lady to the piano
and told her to give them 'Ole Virginia.
and at its conclusion there was cheering
and clapping of hands. Judge Ruffin. not
to be outdone, led Miss Emma Scales. a
sister of the late Governor Scales, to the
piano and requested her to give them
..The Old North State" She sang it with
spirit and fine effect, and towards the
close threw her whole soul into the words
"Hurrahl Hurrahl the Old North State
forever" The effect was electrical; it
cheering and clapping of hands, the ladies
cherin gand clapping of hands, the ladies
from other States joining in. This literal

ginians were taken by surprise, it was so
unexpected.

The Cotton Acreage Of 1897
has been the subject of several
conferences the past few days
through the south and southwest.
Secretary Hector D. Lane of the
American cotton growers pro
tectiye ass N says the main object
is not 90 much to reduce absolute
acreageof cotton, as to increase
the acreage Of food products. In
Texas. he estimates this to be the
largest evergrown the coming sea
son. Enormous areas of new ground
are being brought into cultivation
every year, and cotton is the bes1
thing farmers can plant this land
with; it takes the rankess out o.
the ground quicker than any othei
crop know. At state meeting hele
at Augusta, Ga. with Pres Lam
presiding, the following resolu
lions was adopted: An increase o
area planted in food crops mus
inevitably bring prosperity to tn II
cotton growers, irrespective of tn
size of the cotton crop. There ha

Edgefeld, March 25.-Certainl,
one of the most deplorable homi
cides in this State in recent years
was thatof Will Harris by J. w
Thurmond. Both of the men were
young, well-known and well-known
and well liked, and the cause OF
the difficulty was SO trifling as to
make the result all the more pitia-
BILE. Owing to a delay Of over
three hours on account of railway
connection I did not reach Edge
field until late to-day, but it was
not too late to find that the people
were much excited over the kill
ing of yesterday afternoon, and
that there was a very divided
opinion regarding the affair, 30
much so that there is no need to
try to reconcile these views, All
that need be given is the evidence
taken at the coroner's inquest, in
justice to the dead and the living,
and whatever is written is abso-
lu.ely without passion, feeling or
prejudice to the dead or the liv-
ing.
The talk is that the case will be
hard fought in the Courts. There
are now down for the defence,
Messrs. Croft and Tillman, N. G.
Evans and Sheppard. The fam
ly of Mr.. Will Harris did not ar
rive here until late, and attended
to funeral arrangements, and so
there were no positive legal ar
engagements, but the report is that
Mr.. S. Meg. Simkins and Gen. M.
}. Butler will be employed for
he prosecution. At the inquest
his morning there was no contest
,r cross-examination, and wit
lesses eavo thnir statements. Thus ,
