Writes of The Reunion, and Recalls
Sad Scene.
CHATTERTowN, GOSSIP Co. Tenn.
June %, 1897.
Sister Mine.-The great Reunion!
What fine time the old soldiers are
having in our Capitol City to-day.
There are thousands of hearts beat
ing for the same cause, in the
already crowded city.
| think, sister dear, there is great
deal of pathos in this reunion.
Soldiers who fought side by side in a
cause holy to them, and who have
not met since, will clasp and wiring
hands with each other.
Old Time who waits not, has been
busy since those dark days of blood
and sorrow, weaving "silver
threads, and touching the hair that
once was of raven hue into snowy
whiteness. The eyes that once was
of eagle keenness, is now dim and
faded, and the once stout brave
patriots are all on the shady side of
life.
1t is indeed pathetic. 1t is sad to
think of the lives of our young man
hood, whose blood redeemed this
fair Southland of ours. Some sleep
like Moses, in graves unknown, eX-
cept to the God of battles; some in
the land of the enemy, unhonOred,
but not unwept. All these things
will be spoken of over and over at
this time. Campfire tales repeated,
and old experiences rehearsed.
Comrade will look into comrades
face, trying to recall the once famil-
lar features.
Certainly it gives mournful
pleasure to men tried and true, in
such a cause-a sensation unknown
to the ones who were in their
"swaddling clothes" at that time.
Young men of this day cannot
realize how much it means to them.
How few are left to tell the tale
what small honOrs we show them
Some few get more than they de-
serve, while many poor prjUdteS
were unknown heroes, and do not
get their dues. Eternity alone will
make known the sacrifice, the hard
ships, the noble acts of these same
obscure, unsung privates who bore
the brunt of battle.
When these soldiers "mess' to-
gether, so different will be the
spread" yet no sweeter than the
parched corn, "hard tack raw
bacon, and bean coffee of camp life
Eulogies will be pronounced, and
many tear will fall at the remem-
brance OF those who gave their lives
for their country.
All of this is as it should be. 1t
will not be long ere the places that
knew these men, will know then. no
more forever. They too will sleep
the sleep that no lannon's roar nor
din of battle can disturb. Soon the
war will live only in History, and
we too, sister, will fall as the leaf to
hide away in the bosom of our COM
mon mother, for unto dust we shall
all return.
Writing this reminds me of one OF
many scenes we witnessed together
Do you ever think of the Con
federate soldier we nursed in oul
mothers home? 1t was Capt. -
who had received his death wound
accidentally. Oh, how it grieveG
that brave soldier to know that this
would be his fate. Reared in the
Z. S. army, and had faced so many
dangers in flood and field.
"Oh! said he, if | could have
died on the battlefield how happy
would have been''-''and now t.

NEW YORK, March lit is not every
man or woman who knows when and
whom to marry. Theatrical people, for
instance, should not wed outside of their
profession unless they intend to leave
the stage. Even those in the profession
should be careful whom they choose for
a mate. If a woman who is a stellar
performer, for example, selects a man
of inferior ability for life partner, it
is pretty sure to bring chickering's and
heartburnings all around. The man, if

HOW TO CLEAN LACES.
Description of Three or -Four of the
Most Approved Methods.


Nothing is more destructive to Iaces
than careless washing. Where the lace
is rare or expensive, of course, it is al
ways the better plan to turn it over to a
trustworthy adjustment that makes
speciality of cleaning and repairing such
articles, but with the less expensive
1aces the cleaning can as well be done
at home. 1t is not a difficult nor tedi-
Gus task, but one requiring care and the
use of proper materials.
Real lace and DELICATE silk laces are
easily cleaned by the use of benzine,
gasoline or naphtha. But as these ar
ticles are infammabIe, it is better to
use them in room where there is I'D
fire. Basic the lace smoothly on piece
of thin muslin, being careful to leave a
good margin of the muslin on all sides
Of the lace. Put the gasoline in bowl
and douse the lace and muslin up and
down in it rapidly. If the gasoline be
comes dirty, put the lace, into another
vessel and pour fresh gasoline over it.
Dip it up and down, being careful to
keep the lace on the under side until it
is perfectly clean. Then stretch the
cloth, with the lace uppermost, on
clean table, and secure it with few
tacl1s or pins. This could DE placed in
room where no dust viii Tall on it and
allowed to remain all day, for while II
win dry in short time, a days airing
will be necessary to be rid of the odor.
If gasoline that has been used is set
aside for a few hours the dirt will all
settle to the bottom, and the clear gas
oline can be poured off and used again
to wash silk, kid gloves, or anything
that cannot be washed in water.
Yet another way is to sew the lace
carefully on bottle or some such ar
ticle covered for the purpose, and soak
it in hot soapsuds into which have been
put a few drops of ammonia or kerosene.
In such cases the water may be brought
to boil, but where the color of The
lace is to be preserved, boiling or even
exceedingly hot water should be avoid
ed. When the lace has become perfect
ly clean, the bottle should be removed
from the water and set aside or hung up
to dry in a place free from dust This
method, though perhaps a little more
tedious than the other, is exceedingly
good, and makes the lace look fresh and
new without the suspicion of an OdOr.
Another way is to sew the laces care
fully on a cloth, which must them be
stretched and tackled to a table, then
go carefully over the lace with a reg,
using chalk wet with ammonia and
water. After the lace and cloth have
thoroughly dried the chalk may be
shaken out. To have the very best re-
suits when trying this plan the drying
should be done by the sun
Still another way of drying 1aces as
well as other delicate fabrics which
cannot be successfully irOned is by
pressing them smoothly, while yet wet,
on a window pane or marble slab. This
will obviate all necessity of ironing,
and they viii appear fresh and new

to realize that there is such demand for

are being cut, stuffed and pricked with
interpretations and low-comedy work
to win the favor of the element re-
ferred to, until the symmetry and har-
mony Of the productions are destroyed,
and music and the plays are punctu-
ated throughout with concessions to the
taste for the joke, the catchy song and
the popular ditty. Opera and the

no means condemning the latter. In
