the household that is justly unfiatter-
ing. Fewer wives would sit lonesome
ly and disCOnsOlately at home, while
their husbands roam elsewhere in
search of entertainment. if more wives
realized that home should be some
thing besides a clean place to eat and
sleep in. Men hate wOmens tea par
ties and large show functions. but they
like little dinner and supper parties.
Many families refrain from entertain
ing because they cannot do so on an
expensive scale. 1t is, however, posi-
Bile to give small dinners and suppers
that are both enjoyable and inexpen-
sive. Ask people who either do or will
like each other, and if you wish the
women to have a good time have just
as may men guests as women guests.
II the men are to have a good time
make sure that some of the women are
pretty and flattering. Men like to be
BATTERED. Oh, yes, they do. One of
the secrets of having food good is to
serve all the hot food hot and all the
cold food cold. Always have very hot
plates upon which to serve hot food
The stiffness so often experienced
where people are calling upon other
people whom they do not know very
we'll can invariably be broken up by
offering some sort of refreshments. The
act of eating and drinking inevitably
destroys self-consciousness and renders
all concerned less restrained. 1t does
not matter very much whether it is
cider and doughnuts, chocolate and
waters, cup of tea and a biscuit, or
what not, so long as it is something.
1t adds charm, however, to have what
ever is served brought in deity and
served daintily. One of the surest ways
to be awakened ''in company" is to try
to act differently from ones accus-
toned manner. If ones everyday man
ner is not good enough for a company,
then it should be changed, but the
most delightful company manner is the
natural manner when it is natural to
be charming. One of the charms of
an agreeable manner is to seem unaf-

In a timid, hesitating way he had

I'VE shall know the exact number

as there was too much excitement, and
the mob was large and beyond the

more force, and one troop Of the Tenth

service Of the mayor.

chuckle Merrill Fremont started brisk
ly down the path.
AS he neared the gate it opened, and
tall, slender figure clad in black en-
tered, followed by an old negro fairly
staggering under the weight of mag
nolla blossoms. Something familiar in
the two figures made Fremont pause
But they did not notice him. The lady
turned up a side path and walked
quickly toward the end Of the grounds
Merrill had just quilted, followed more
slowly by the old serving man.
Merrill faced about and watched
them. He was certain now that the
woman was Erma. He expected her
to enter the Ralston lot, but she only
paused, waved her hand toward the
tiower-hidden graves, said something
to her attendant and passed on her way
until she stood beside the undecorated
grave.
Fremont rubbed his eyes and stared.
The lady motioned to negro to lay
his fragrant burden down.
Merrill fastened up the path. He
was near enough to hear the well-re-
membered voice say, You may CO.

myself"

Erma believed him dead and forgave
him. How would it be when she found
him alive! He stood in dumb uncer-
tainty. She was his only love and to
lose her again would be more terrible
than not to have found her Dead,
she surely loved him; her action prov
ed it. Would he not better go away
in the certainty of that love than, by
staying, perhaps revive the old bitter
ness which his return to her unframed
while all her beloved family lay dead,
might recall?
He was about to retreat. 1t was too
late, the lady turned and saw him. He
stood awkwardly before her. She look
ed at him in puzzled inquiry.
Suddenly he cried out "Erma."
She moved back pace in surprise at
being so addressed by an apparent
stranger.
Once his tongue loosened Merrill gave
her no chance to escape. In quick,
incoherent words he poured forth the
mistaken report of his death, his love,
his sorrow for her grief and at last an
earnest plea that she would prove more
kind than in the past
AS she listened delicate flush crept
into the lady's pale, sweet face. The
shadow that rested in the deep, blue
eyes lifted. She looked searchingly at
the man before her. Could this really
be her young lover, returned in the
guise of this impetuous elderly man?

| then came the war How quickly had
followed that awful day when he went
to say farewell and she would not look
at him, because he wore the hated
blue. He tried to argue, tried to per-
suade, but she would not listen.
She was a southern girl-Col. Raj
| ston's daughter. If he fought the
south, he fought her and was her dead
| ly foe. Was it not cruel enough that
| the dreadful war should deprive her
OF her lover, without calling him to
! fight against instead of for her?
How clearly he could see her as she
stood then on the low, wide steps, a
slim, girlish figure clad in clinging
white. Her cheeks were flushed and
her mouth tremulous, but the chin was
! firmly set. All through the war he
had carried in his heart the memory
of her as she stood in the sunshine,
framed by the stately pillars Of the
gallery; while he, with despair in his
heart, but a logged determination in
his eyes, turned, when half way down
the broad avenue of live oaks, and lift
ing his union cap murmured, God
| keep my southern sweetheart"
How often he recalled her words
He could almost hear them now. GO
You are traitor. l never want to see
your face again."
The old man shook his head sor-
rowfully. No, she would never forgive
him, not even now after all these
years. Well, he would go back north
on the morrow, so what matter?
He and the Ralston boys had been
college students together. He would
pay visit to their last resting place.
He opened the gate and slowly made
his way among the flower-covered
mounds. When he reached the Raj
ston lot, he looked about him sorrow
fully. He felt sadly desolate. He
alone was left Of all those merry,
laughing fellows.
Presently his eye wandered to a
grave somewhat apart from the rest.
The scarcity OF its flowers drew his at
tention to it. He wandered idly to-
ward it, thinking, Some poor friend
less chap"
He started and then dropped upon
simple inscription on the headstone 1t
ran:
MERRILL FREMONT"
Born 1888. Killed at Gettysburg,
1861
why, that's my name!" and the
old man looked about him in a dazed
manner as though for a moment he
doubted his identity,

Garlands ana songs
lMemorial Day.
Brothers, a song to the friends that
have left us,
Friends Of a distant, memorial year,
Comrades in times eer death had be-
reft us
OF those who were dearer than life
is dear
Shall We not bring them a garland and
sing them
Stories and songs that were fair to
them here?
But the garland, ah, shall it be of
roses,
Bright as with JOY as with life, blood
Or of jonquil pale, that at eventide
closes
It's petals and earthward hangs, heavy
of head,
Or of sad, dropping flowers from rain
beaten bowers,
Shall the garlands be made for our
comrades, dead?
Nay, for l know of fairer flower,
Growing in quiet, where winds are
not.
1t opens its heart as the sun and the
shower
Nor faints when the summer-sweet
rooms wax hot
Far meeter to strew for the friends we
know
Remembrance blossom, forget-me-
not.
And the song, shall it be of the years
behind us,
Our sleepless nights and our sadder
days,
When cannon could deafen and volley-
ings blind us,
The bugles arouse us to wearying
ways,
Of the blue wreaths curled round our
banners unfurled.
The boom of battle, the murk, the
haze?
r.S.sss%
Nay, but brothers, here, hopeful
hearted,
Let us not think of the days op-
pressed.
Count not our dead with the things de-
parted,
Their glory yet lives by their sons pos
sesseG-
Let the hugles be still DER our friends
on the hill,
Their song be now one of peace, of
rest.

LAREDO Correspondence

Your native Texan objects to blood
letting in any but the conventional
way. 1t is all right and proper to bleed
man with a six-shooter bullet or a
bowie knife on due provocation. That
is according to state etiquette-or to
Mr.. Hoyle, as they say here. But
when a short-horn doctor from the
efete East comes to the Rio Grande
loaded down with quilts, claims the
right to enter your jacal without
knocking, and then proceeds to tear a
piece OF hide off your arm, just because
he doesn't like your looks or your liver
when these things happen, then
there's sure to be little unpleasant
ness and funeral or two. Laredo has
just passed through an experience of
this sort, and it required the State
Rangers and company Of the Tenth
United States cavalry to restore order.
