/ "Tne colonel-I shan't call any
names-got us into such a bad
fix on the battle field that he had
resign to keep from being
kicked out. And there was a big
feast in honor Of his departure.
OF course it was supposed to
have been got up as a token of
his under officers regard for
him. After we had finished eat
ing-it was in the lieutenant
colonels tent-and the Whiskey
and wine and cigars were on, the
speech making began. The
colonel made a little talk, saying
how sorry he was to leave US,
and all that sort OF thing. Then
the lieutenant colonel and the
two majors made little speech.
They all said something about
the colonel being such a fine
man and officer, and how sorry
they were to see him leaye-every
bit a id lie."
The Judge stopped and laugh
cd. His laugh wasn't loud, and
one could not get the full benefit
of it unless one saw him. His
whole body shook with the
amusement Of it, and his features
took on such comical express
ion that it made one laugh just to
see him.

and then glanced around at The
two young men sitting on the
plank sidewalk on either side OF
him. ......
The Judge was sixty; not fat
and forty, but fatter and sixty.
His six feet of height was bur-
dened with the painful necessity
of carrying three hundred pounds
when he walked and of support
ing the same weight when he did
not move. The Judge supported
it usually, and that was the rea-
son his clothes wore out so much
: more quickly at one certain
place than at any other. He
went up and out from his feet to
his waist and then up and in
from his waist to the top of his
head-an hourglass cut in two
and put together again with the
large ends in the middle. A
fringe of lcng, dirty looking hair
showed from under the band of
his slouch hat. Through the
hole in the top Of his hat one
caught an occasional glimpse of
"a bald and shining spot, the peak
of his head trying to get through
into the fresh air. But the
strength had gone from his hair
to his beard, for his whiskers
were long and bushy and his
mustaches equally so. The
judge spoke not with a drawl, but
with that slow movement peculiar
to fat and lazy people. Yet the
little gray eyes sparkled all the
time, as though they had alb
sorbed all the energy in the man.
"Well, boys" be continued,
after completing his survey,
,'where'd you be now if you'd
enlisted?"
The younger Of his auditors
answered: "

the other boy, Henry, said, "but

Mrs. Sales is a sister of Mr.. Samuel Bar
nett. Mr. Paul Barnett and Rev Frank

course, employ their own chefs and other
clubs who depend on outside chefs for the
suppers and dinners, patronize caterers
who are accustomed to handling large af-
fairs. The small luncheon, such as the ex-
elusive dinner party or card party and af-
ternoon teas, are the social functions that
admit of the artistic feminine touch.
Mrs. E. G. Stevens, of Birmingham, has
taken up this popular occupation of artis-
tic serving of repasts which is certainly an
art Mrs. Stevens, although Boston
woman, has lived for number of years
In Birmingham. where she counts her
friends by the hundreds. Women are not
slow to discover when another woman Is an
adept at the arrangement of a room, or
in securing a happy effect in all the
well appointed home, and Mrs. Stevens
work now is due very much to her friends,
who always recognized her great talents,
especially in the matter of table decora-
tions. Her ideas were SO good that her
especial friends relied very much on her
taste for the success of their smart affairs
Less than year ago she began her new
venture and last summer she visited her
old home In Boston, and also New York,
where she studied the art of table decora-
lions, and looking after menus. She has met
with great success and her friends are
greatly interested In her work, which she
hopes to increase later on by having a swell
little establishment of her own, where she
will have her own table linen and silver to
use for private social functions, thus re-
heying the hostess of almost every care.
