avghere did an the money Coma

"Where did all the money COma
from?" 1 inquired.
From o small beginning-from one
little mill, and it did so well that others
soon followed. Northern manufacture
ers of machinery were attracted there
and took one-third of the stock and
paid for it in spindles and looms-and
have made good money and are con-
tent. Some Charleston money is there,
too. These mills have made from ten
to twenty per cent. for several years,
and keep on making it. and these ma
chinery men up north will do the same
thing for the people of Gainesville or
any other southern town that is healthy
and well situated. They only wait to be
invited. The Piedmont region of South
Carolina is now the New England of
the south. Even the young men and
young ladies of good families in their
towns are not too proud to take po-
sitions in the factories. They are book
keepers, typewriters, correspondents
and superintend in some of the de-
partmehts. and earn good, honest
money. Just think of it, what a revela-
tionl For many years we have supposed
that the state was nearly worn out
and her young men would have to ac-
cept Greeley's maxim. go west, young
man. go west" but not so. Northern
South Carolina is richer to-day and
more prosperous than any portion of
Georgia. Anderson has nearly doubled
her population during the last five
years. New stores, new dwellings. new
churches, parsonages and a fine pub
lie school building have gone up, a new
courthouse is projected, and all this
comes from the cotton mills. 1t does
seem as though the cotton we grow
should be spun and wovcn at home.
My last visit was to the old historic
town of Edgefield-s town almost re-
tired from the public gaze. but one
that has always felt proud of its pres
tige as the domicile Of more great men
than any in the state. McDufle lived
here, and Gov. Pickens, and the Buffers,
and Rhetts, and Garys. and many 9th
crs. The Tillmans live here, and l was

yellow taffeta ribbons, with a bow on
the left side, from which sprang a black
ostrich feather falling forward.
The foulards are as fresh and effective
as any Of the thin goods for summer.
They are printed in bold tartan designs
or in vermicelli patterns, pink or mauve
or green on white grounds or in rather
set and yet large and bold flower pat
terms. Striped silks printed along the
stripes with vivid-hued flowers and taf-
fetas in brilliant shades combined with
black Bre of the things that find favor.
Silk poplins are more used than for
many years past. A new material that
appears to be coming in is a thin stuff
very like barege but so wide-ribbed as
to resemble ottoman. The French wom-
an dresses in mousseline de sole from
head to heel. Her hat is covered with
it, her summer cape is made of it and
there are from ten to twenty narrow
frills of it set about the skirt and the
sleeves of her prettiest taffeta gown.
No other material is at the moment so
nearly indispensable to her.
Summer capes. by the way, are capes
in name only. The article that goes by
that name has become, for example, q
gay little bolero Of green MORE fasten-
ing in the back under the protection of
many frills of white mousseline de sole,
and with sleeves coming sometimes
well down upon the hands and covered
with innumerable little flounces. These
sleeves are shaped to give the cape
form, which apart from them would
not be distinguishable easily. A cape

ing had sleeves each of one founce of
black mousseline de sole and formed
an agreeable variation upon the multi
tudes Of little ruffles that threaten to
make the summer girl of '97 look as if

silk and wool skirts are made four
yards round. Muslins and light stuffs
get from seven to eight yards. The
n thing essential is that they give q
soft, swaying, clinging effect, without
n breath of suspicion of stiffness or
any sort OF self-assertion. All the thin
ner goods are made up over separate
Innings, which form independent skirts.
Skirts are trimmed more and more Law
ishly. In the frantic competition as to
who shall carry the greatest number OF
rufles the taller women naturally have
the advantage. There are more tailor
gowns in evidence than Paris usually

Paris.-I cannot remember a year
when women wore so much purple.
At the theaters, at the races, under
the great white pyramids of the bios
soming horsechestnut trees, on the
~boulevards the royal color is dominant.
Purple parasols, purple hats, purple
gowns stand out like ink blotches
against the green and the blue of trees
and sky, while pink and dark red
brought together in slapdash combine
tions still further accent and intensity
the color scheme. There are not many
halftones. Green and white and purple
and white plaids plot out the landscape
in great tartan patterns, and pink and
purple step forward to meet you and
dare you to say the P~arisienne has not
courage and a complexion.
Hats are small before they are
trimmed, large afterward. Large, low
crowns are the rule, often scalloped at
the top. The brims are turned up fam
tastically to show their Innings Of CON
trasting straw. Hats are worn rather
back upon the head, displaying a good
deal of the hair. White stitched rice
straws, Manila straws, straws dyed pink
and green and blue and mauve are
highest in favor. Rosettes of frilled
mousseline de sole set about the crown
like flower garlands r the craze of the
moment in trimmings. For the races
I have seen a round hat of pale yellow
rice straw lined with pink straw. The
brir was fat on the right side and III
front and turned up on the left with
a choux of ruby tinted mousseline de
sole, frilled and fringtd. This was fol-
lowed by other rosetres of the same
material in five or six shades from ruby
to pale pink turning behind anu three
quarters surrounding the crown. The

a good tailor gown at one of the best
shops is of porcelain blue cloth. The
skirt is a tight-ftting fourreau, with
the ~fullness behind lost in two narrow
plaits at the waist, which increase in
size down to the ground. 1t is trimmed
| with eight bands of dark blue velvet
which partly encircle it, passing around
the back, but failing to meet in front.
The bodice is of c~ream-colored cloth
with a blue velvet waistband and
elose-set strips of blue velvet starting
up from that on either side of the front
and finishing like the top of a picket
fence over the bosom. The fence does
not cross the entire front of the dress,
but leaves a gap in the middle. The
sleeves have very small puffs on the
shoulders hooped with velvet ribbons.
With this dress there belongs a toque
of white rice straw trimmed with corn
flowers.
Another house shows an extremely
pretty gown of grass linen over a sep
arate skirt of green taffeta. The linen
skirt is sun-plaited all around and is
d~elicately embroidered in gold and
green for a foot and a half from the
bottom. The bodice is a blouse worn
under a bolero of dark green silk edged
with a double ruche of pale green
mousseline de sole.

How to clean hooks.

Grease may be taken out by laying
the page between two sheets of blotting
paper, and passing a hot iron gently
over it. To remove grease from the
covers, scrape pipe clay or French chalk
over the spot and iron with a warm
iron (rot a hot one). Vellum covers
may often be cleaned by means or soap
and water. but if much soiled should be
washed with a weak solution OF salts of
lemon. To take out ink stains, place
the leaves for two minutes in a solution
of oxalic acid, then in clean cold water
for a few hours. To restore the con-
sistency of the paper afterwards, use a
bath of ''sizs" and charlottesville.

who handled her horses as well as she
had handled her gown. Her dress was
a light silk poplin of a delicate mauve
color shading to gray. The skirt was
trimmed with seven fiounces of nous
seline de sole of a somewhat deeper
mauve, These were of unequal widths,
the widest at the bottom. They were
hung higher in the back than in the
front, and each hounce was gathered
upon a narrow black velvet ribbon.
The bodice was a blouse of mousseline
de sole accordion plated back and
front over a cl%ose-ftting lining of
mauve taffeta. The sleeves were of
poplin, and the black velvet waist and
neck bands c~orresponded with the black
ostrich feathers that trimmed the large
hat of mauve tulle.
In evidence in another carriage was
a striking costume of yellow taffeta
and black tulle. The taffeta skirt was
entirely covered with the tulle, which
was set on in three sun-plaited% lounces,
a deep one at the bottom, a rather
narrow one above, and the third deep
er, from the waist down. Each lounce
had a broad lace edging. The taffeta
bodice was rather novel in design, be-
ing shaped to the figure by mean of
groups of plaits running round and
round. 1t closed on the left under ro-
settles of black velvet, each with a
straw button at it's middle. There was
a black waistband, and a hat of yellow
rice straw with a high crown, a broad
fat brim and trimmings of black lace
and feathers.

Philosophers, lazy men and Turks
have many qualities in common. So, at
least, it would appear from the reply of
a Turkish pasha to the British minister
at Constantinople, who had asked for
information concerning the population
and trade of q certain province.

the pasha's letter began. "The thing
you ask of me is both difficult and use

A Touching Tribute to the Worth OF
the Abyssininn Women.

A Touching Tribute to the Worth of
the Abyssininn Women.
Maj. Camera, who was made pris-
oner at the battle of Adowa and whose
hair turned completely white with his
sufferings while in Abyssinia, has pub
lished a book giving an account of the
ten months of his captivity. He pays a
feeling and genuine tribute to the Abyss
sinian women. The Ethiopian woman
is obliged to work hard all day, hewing
wood and drawing water, grinding the
grain and preparing the households food.
To the men is reserved the task of
sewing and weaving, which they are
very clever at. The customs of the peo-
pie are quite patriarchial, the head of
the family being often like a sultan in
miniature, with a small harem of slaves.
The legitimate wife, if she protests at
all, does so meekly, as women. even in
that part of Africa, are considered lit
tie better than beasts of burden, and the
Copt religion as it is understood, espe-
cially among the Amhara, has not the
power to raise her from her state of
inferiority. Maj. Gamberra paints a
picture truly touching of the tenderness
to suffering and the charity and self
sacrifice, which are not found in isolated
cases, but are generally among these
downtrodden souls. He speaks of a cer-
tain Kongeitu, al old and ugly woman,
who was an angel Of charity to many of
the prisoners, but especially to the
major. She shared their sadness. she

medicines of herbs used there, and when
she saw them depressed, used to cry
"Agari! Agari!" Qtaly! ItalyD add
ing that Menelik was good and would
free them. When she. understood that
in Italy there were mothers, wives and
sisters weeping for them, she began to
cry, and they in turn were the COM
forters. The first woman Maj. Camera
met was when his feet were all cut
and bleeding, owing to marching with
out shoes, so that he was in extreme
pain. Sellas, a poor slave of Ras Workie,
seeing his sufferings, took the white
linen she wore from her head, divided it
into two pieces and bandaged his feet.
This was an act of real sacrifice, as such
a piece of linen in Schoa and Goggiam
is a precious treasure. 1t was all the
more wonderful that a slave should
make such a sacrifice for a stranger,
and he a captive. After ten months the
day at last came for Maj. Camera to
leave for italy. He rose early and went
to take leave of his true friends,
Kongeitu was i'll. She showed herself,
/ and really was clad at his liberation:
but when the moment Of parting came
she could not conceal her bitter grief
