 Miss Anthony's joy and gratitude could scarcely find expression in words.
 On February 23, 1883, Miss Anthony sailed with Miss Rachel Foster for visit to Europe. They visited Italy, Switzer- land. Germany and the British Isles The cheerful letters home bear testimony to Miss Anthony's enjoyment of rest from hard work and of the new scenes through which she was passing. Continuing Mrs. Harper's narrative: Half of Miss Antho- ny's nine months trip abroad had been spent in Great Britain. To her all the other attractions of the old world were as nothing compared with it's living, breathing humanity. On the Continent she was deprived of any exchange of thought with its people because she spoke no language. but her own, and this made her prefer England; but there was an other and a stronger interest-the great progressive movement which was going found women of fine intellect and high social position engaged in the same work to which she had given more than thirty years of her own life; and here she met

IN EW YORK, Oct. 20-The higher
 N heroes of the war, on coming
 M home, have found awaiting
 them fine literary opportuni-
 ty. Indeed, most of them had unmlstakable intimations of the ex- lstence of such an opportunity before they started home. Even by cable they were urged to pen the story of their exploits at good round price. Most of them have come to terms and in the course of time we may expect contri- buttons to the literature of the war from about all the men who were con- spicuous in 1t, at least on our own side. Meanwhile a question that is perplexing editors and publishers not a little is whether the desire to read about the war will keep up long enough for them to market all the costly ma terial they are laying in. The truest answer to this question can be nothing more than a lucky guess; but certainly there will always be a large public eager to read anything, however long 1t may be getting published, that some three or four of the great men of the war may write about it. Anything, for example, from Admiral Sampson or Admiral Dewey or Admiral Schley will never lack readers, and two at least of these three have, I understand, already promised to write something. Again, anything from General Miles or Gen eral Shafter or General Merritt would command immediate attention. But of these sure cards" there are not enough to go round among all the publishers and editors who would like to reap a share of the profit in the present war interest; and, consequently, the busi- ness. as whole, is running into very much of a gamble
 Of course the war and the relish for war literature works just now quite against writers and books that are at best of doubtful interest. But they don't seem to have told perceptibly against 'the approved good masters" For example, Kipling's new book of short stories, "The Days Work" pub lished at the close of last month, is sell ing so rapidly that the publishers are 2000 copies behind their orders They had sold 12,0O0 or 13000 copies before the book had been out four days. Mean while, the sale of Kipling's last preced- ing book, Captains Courageous" keeps straight on. The publishers announce that 35,O00 copies of it have now been sold in America alone. Another book of which the sales seem to keep straight on is Paul Leicester Ford's Story of an Untold Love-" and still

The New Trimmings.

Braids, because of their being with
in the reach of every purse, are first
in favor, are woven from silk or mo-
hair, and the designs into which they
can be worked are infinite. Braided
sets are the next most elaborate trim
mings. They are also profusely en-
bellished with jet, and are combined
with applique.
Chenille, in cords and multitude
of combinations with passementerie
and black net, will hold undisputed
sway as first favorite with those able
to crafty their every desire in dress.
No design is too elaborate for a COM
bination of chenille, jet and spangles
on net foundations.
Applique designs in satin or silk,
outlined with silver or gold, have been
exquisitely fashioned, to enrich sheer
mousseline, grenadines and soft wool
en- materials. Very free use will be
made of ribbons, more especially OF
the narrow widths, particularly for the
ornamentation of founces.
Velvets will be seen in combination
with both sheer and heavy materials
for dressy wear. The newest and
most expensive velvet has soft nap
Stimulating plush with mirrored sur
face. 1t is quite costly, but possesses
beauty all its own.
Fashion has sounded loud note in
favor of laces, and insertions portray
ing the lovers knot will be seen en-
riching skirts of such soft materials as
cashmere and similar fabrics, while
lace edges will do duty in cascades on
bodices and in pretty falls at wrists

Help a Work of Love.

Many pleasant words of encourage
meut and commendation have been re-
ceived by the Daughters of the Con-
federacy relative to their beautiful
custom of sending a laurel wreath to
the funeral of each veteran who
''crosss the river" Simple as the
custom seems, the public has little idea
OF the many difficulties with which
they are beset in its performance.
Many veterans are not members OF
camps, in which case the only means
of knowing of death is through the
newspapers, and often the residence is
not given; The camps have more than
once been urged to aid in this work by
giving prompt notice of the death of
their members, or of any veteran,
whether q member of a camp or not.
Sometimes this Is done. Sometimes
left undone Camp Sumter, in Char
lesion, has shown more interest in the
matter than any other camp, and its
aid is much appreciated.
