The Latest Styles In
Woman's FootWear

radical change has been made this
season in women's footwear, says the Phil
adelphia Times. The girl who last sea-
the sharply pointed toe, peeping daintly
out from beneath her gown, now looks
askance at the rounded end of her dress
shoe, and more doubtfully still at the
broad-toed street and storm boot. But
fashions decree, all powerful, has made
comfort the mode this season, and that
which is fashionable beyond a doubt will
be considered becoming and pretty for the
time being. The storm shoe, new depart
ure much favored by the athletic maiden,
is shaped remarkably like her brothers,
but on daintier scale, of course. 1t is
made of yellow calf, cut much higher than
the ordinary boot and for skating and all
out door sports promises to be tremend-
ously popular. Those interested in the dress
reform movement have also adopted this
shoe for stormy day wear, with the short
lengthed gown. And speaking of this re-
form, a downtown man was heard to re-
mark looking admringly at the trim little
woman so gowned one stormy day last
week: "NYhy don't more women go in for
that sort of thing this sort of weather?
It's attractive, becoming and comfortable"
But the reason remains that the tailor
made woman is always well-groomed, be
her gown long or short, while, alas, the
woman and her name is legion, who throws
her clothes on will never look attractive
enough in costume, old or new, for second
glance.

The Annual Banquet

Charleston, S. c., Dec. 22.-The annual
banquet of the New England Society of
this city was given at the Charleston hotel
tonight. The orator of the evening was
Associate Justice. David ]. Brewer, of the
supreme court of the United States. He
responded to "Forefathers Day." the
theme of his address being the sacredness
of home and the importance of observing
the rights and integrities of the family.
In the course of his address he commented
adversely upon legislation which permit
ted a constable to search mans house
upon suspicion, and this was taken by his
audience to be a reference to the South

speakers were District United States Judge

son, Mayor J. Adger Smith and Prof Har-
rson Randolph, president of the Charles
ton college.

An Alabama Woman's
Artistic Triumph

Miss Virginia Montgomery, a talented
young woman who resides at New Orleans
but is a native of Alabama-has sudden
ly sprung into public notice as the designer
of the monument to be erected at San
Antonio, Tex, to the memory of confeder-
ate soldiers. She is the first southern Wo-
man to design so large and imposing
memorial and one of the very few in the
world, to be entrusted with such an am
bilious task. An exchange thus describes
Miss Montgomery and her work:
The monument that is to be built after
Miss Montgomery's design, 1t is explained,
briefly, is to be erected in San Antonio,
Tex, as a confederate memorial, and is
to be a very handsome tribute to the con-
federate cause. The material will be the
same stone that used in building the
state capitol at Austin.
Miss Montgomery submitted the design
to the Barnard e. Bee chapter, of San
Antonio, in an open competition with many
accomplished artists and hardly dared, as
she says, to hope for success. Her design
was accepted, however. and is much
praised for it's beauty" The brave little
artist has herself explained this feature OF
it in acknowledging some of the compl-
ments to her work. She said: ut ought
to have beauty, for 1 worked at the draw
ing with all the southern woman's love for
the Lost Cause surging through my heart
and mind The subject was so TENDER ana
dear that 1t could hardly help making
beauty"
We note the triumph of the young artist
because it is noteworthy as being the first
of it's kind achieved by a southern woman,
and also for the sake of the inspiration
and encouragement her successful exam
pie affords. TO other young southern ar
lists to strive for like honors in unfamiliar
fields. There are many monuments ana
memorials yet to be raised in the south to
signalize the glorious incidents of its great
struggle for independence and perpetuate
the memory and deeds of the heroic men
and noble women who took part in the
contest and they should be designed,
shaped and built by southern hands.
San Antonio is to he congratulated on its
happy fortune in having a confederate
monument which is not only appropriate
and beautiful in itself. but expresses so
much besdes-the love of the southern
woman for the cause which it represents

A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
Patriotic Women Lead Movement SO
Establish Such an Institution.


The oft agitated question of establishing
in the city of Washington great national
university on the lines suggested by Presi-
dent Washington at last has taken more
definite form than in the past, and num-
Der of representative American women
have taken hold of the project with de-
termination to push it to a successful con-
clusion if possible They have started out
in a practical manner by seeking to raise
the first $3.50, 900 necessary for the erection
of an administration building to form the
nucleus of the university, and hope to be
able TO lay the cornerstone on Feb. %,
1899 Their purpose in the meantime is
to urge the matter continuously On the at
tention of women all over the country.
They intend likewise to interest all the
school children in the work.
Mrs Allen A. Richardson of Boston,
chief organizer of the movement, writing
to George II. Harries of Washington of
the plans thus far formed, said: ''The pa
triotic women Of America are to build the
administration building and they propose
to make Feb %, 1898, the nations first
offering day for this purpose, asking no
large contributions, begging nothing
Americas 20, 900, 600 people must build
this great monument. If the 10, 900, 600
children in the public schools in America
would give an Offering of penny each on
Washington's birthday, they would raise a
sum sufficient to erect the building and
endow it. Let us, then, join hands and
have an American university, American
sciences and American ideas for American
citizens New York Tribune.
