cipient of invitations to dinners and teas and receptions.
 Now, soldier in the national guard is the possessor of but one uniform, and when the young man from Buffalo re- ceived an invitation to a Washington dinner, the acceptance of which was in fiuenced by the receipt of square, cream tinted note addressed in femi- nine hand, he began to bethink himself of the question of a feast garment. Not even the famous Miss MacFlimsy of Madison square was in so great straits as he in regard to a wardrobe. The uni- form provided by the government had been worn in all sorts of weather and had long since lost it's first look of new- ness.
 The young man could easily have re- placed it with a new suit of clothes proper for the occasion but for little regulation of the United States army that every soldier while in service shall wear the uniform of his regi- ment and if found in civilians dress during the term of enlistment shall be severely punished. This and the fact that the New York national guardsmen

we cannot explain, yet who, while they are strangers, give us a sense either of great attraction or great and im- personal dislike. I will quote to show you what I mean about some stage people, because they are really before the public-you know them. Now, there is Agnes Booth, a superb actress, wo- man who can make every word tell, who has queer incisiveness, but who never could bring a tear to my eye nor make me think of her as anything else than an actress. She is referred to as high ly finished actress. Look at little Maude Adams Do you think Agnes Booth, no matter what she played, could bring tears to the eyes and make the hearts beat as this girl woman does? Now, l know you will all disagree with me- but while acknowledging the charm of her acting I have never felt that there was anything in Ellen Terry that controlled me personally.
 You think this is dense? I'll tell you how I mean. I have shed buckets of tears over her charming characterza- ton of the wife of Charles I, but never for one instant did I forget that she was acting. I have wept for the queen because of her past sorrows. of her sad life but I never dreamed of thinking that the real woman was standing before me. She was always FL len Terry. who off the stage was a rath- CT elderly, very dowdy and a very odd hammered person, and when actresses

said that the life of the average girl be- gins when she cries over her first bro- ken doll, and from that time on her education is a series of hopes and dis appointments. She is always believing that some day she will meet her afflni ty, who, understanding her. will re- mind her that she must not cry either for a broken doll or a broken heart. Life is the great melodrama. It is the story of suffering, of joy, of sorrow and forgiveness.
 After that there was a long silence, and the captain, standing at the end of the boat, looked as if he were trying to get the great deep sea to whisper Of the truth. We said Good night" in unison, but the colonel, with his per- feet politeness, announced, Good night to an ideal party, for that is an ideal party where we can think or speak as we please"
 Molly's eyes laughed the question she did not ask, but he bowed to her and answered it, Surely this is an ideal party since it consists of Miss Molly, the captain, the ensign and the colonel, not to mention BAB."

The First War Nurse.

A short time ago Miss Florence Nightingale. most famous of army nurses, celebrated her seventy eighth birthday, and a memorial address of congratulation was presented to her by Americans in London and American nurses, grateful for the interest she has shown in their volunteer movement in our present war with Spain.
 Miss Nightingale has served well for more than the allotted span of life, and now the heroine of the Crimean war has come to lie all day long, and all tha days, in shaded room in her London home. It is a bedridden existence, but it is one made beautiful by the light of other days. No one forgets Florence Nightingale, nor does she forget.
 Her room is always filtered with new books, magazines and papers bearing especial reference to the womanly art of nursing the sick. She herself writes pamphlets on the subject still. and psn- cls and note paper are as abundant in that sickroom as is printed matter. Health and youth have failed her. but not the old interest and zeal. Now, as ever, she shrinks from publicity. No re- porter or newspaper correspondent need send up his card, but she is always ac-, cessible and at home to any one who is honestly interested in nursing or care of the sick and who seeks her aid and advice in this way. Encouragement and counsel she has for such, but never an interview has she yet granted to a journalist. So it is easy to see how deeply alive she is to all matters con- corning the American nurses who have offered their services to the United States army and are ready to serve their country in this war with Spain.
 From the first the aged heroine's in- terest has been made manifest toward them, and hence the American colony in London have in grateful apprecia- tion sent this memorial to the cheery sick chamber at Hyde Park square. London w., for it is cheery, and loyal spirit dwells undaunted there. She who has looked upon death with fearless eyes is not abashed at the de- stroyers drawing her to him. A brave heart is the sublime test of endurance.

He bethought himself of the tailor and went into consultation with the swellest | one in town to whom he offered any reasonable amount of money if he could turn him out presentable and yet regulation respecting" young man on the afternoon of the reception.
 ''Can you get leave of absence for few hours before the reception?" asked the tradesman after thinking deeply
 The young man thought he could, and accordingly an appointment was made with the tailor for the morning of the reception day. At the appointed hour the young man in his old uniform pre- sented himself in the shop of the sar- torial artist.
 Now, if we may have that uniform and your hat for a few hours we will turn you out a Beau Brummel" said that functionary reassuringly.
 But I can't put on these clothes," protested the young man as a gar nent not recognized by United States army regulations was pushed toward him.
 Well, I don't know what you are go- ing to do, my dear sir unless-unless you go to bed"
 'I'll do that but I'm not taking chances on my colonel coming in here and catching me breaking rules. He is regular old fire eater and would as lief have me set up to be shot as swal- low his cocktails"
 There was a couch in the tailor's back office, and on to thiS the young soldier | crawled, drawing gfory over his ununif2rza sur0He slumbefeA -ttitfeeie ttfeeie for three or fouIThours. while the tailor put half dozen assistants to work on the uniform.

The buttons were pol ish- ed to shine with their pristine bright ness, while the soft hat was secured and given picturesque flare. When the volunteer donned the uni form, it had lost the rather fiabby lines which Uncle Sam's cutters and filters had given it. and it had all the ele- gance of a late creation from Poola's.

 Now" said the colonel, "the melo- drama that we call Life is good. It is true we all see the dark side once in awhile, but there come the white days to contrast with it, and living teaches one the marvellous art of forgetting. Think how awful it would be if we could not forget! Think of the people who would live over the dark stories of their lives! Think of the women weep- ing for their lost loves and their dead children! Think of the people who would always and eternally suffer from remorse! Why, we never had anything so good as forgetfulness given to us! By that, however I mean the right kind of forgetfulness; mean the abili- ty to forget the disagreeable side of life, to soften all the unpleasant things and to bring before us the agreeable side of everybody. even of the viii lain."

This marriage has been fixed and postponed several times, and now the date given as certain is Sept. 20. Princess Marie, it will be remembered, was in the car- riage with her father, the king of Greece, when the dastardly attempt was made on his life some time ago, and the princess behaved with the ggreatest courage.

The only brother of the German em- press, Duke Ernst Guenther of Au- gustenberg is to be married the present month to Princess Dorothy of Saxe-Co- burg and Gotha, while the Princess Feodora of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the eldest great-grandchild of the queen, is to marry Prince Heinrich XXX Reuss on Sept.

 On Oct. 2 the second royal marriage of the year to be celebrated in Stutt- gart is that of Princess Paulina of Wurt- temberg and the hereditary Prince of Wied. The first was that of the Duch- ess Olga of Wurttemberg and Prince Maximilian of Schaumberg-L -Lippe.

 "They become the women they repre- sent. They live during the few hours the lifetime of some other woman, into whose soul they have crept and learned every heart beat and every sign of joy and grief that she has had. Do you know that there are few men who ever control an audience as women do? Why is that?"
 We all tried our best to think our best, and at last Molly said: Tt is for this cause: If woman is properly constituted, her heart controls her brain, and she is unsexed when she is all brain and no heart"
 Then we looked at the stars for awhile and wondered what the man in the moon was pondering over and tried to believe that away off somewhere the one each loved best would some day be a little nearer. Molly, unabashed in her real love, drew little closer to the en- sign and put her little hand in his. I

In the glass, no matter how exact it may be, you are represented as it pleases you. The brook gives you back natures picture and shows you your face as God Almighty made it and as you have marked it. Then it is under standing suffering because you have suffered. It is appreciating love because you have loved. It is the exquisite sympathy between human beings that comes from the perfect understanding that exists between them"

Idaho Fooled on Hanna,

A special correspondent of the
Salt Lake Herald writing from,
Boise Jan. 18th says:
Probably in none of the silver
states was the election of Mark
Hanna more deeply deplored than
in Idaho, and if the sentiment in
every part of the commonwealth
may be judged by the feeling in
the capitol, the regret at the triumph
Of the idol of goldbugism is uni
versally keen. The feeling may be
judged by the statement that in
many of the principal towns of the
state preparations had been made
for Publications in celebration OF
Hanna's defeat, for here it was ex-
pected. But the speeches were
slowed away in the pigeon holes
and the rockets and powder ware
housed. Although having had mild
examples of bribery set before them
in the election of senators in this
state, the Idaho folks generally bad

over Hanna's election, and none OF
them desired to be quoted on the
subject, while interviews teeming
