The most expensive material
ever produced for a dress is said to
have been purchased by the German
Empress last year ffcm Lyons. 1t
was white silk brocade, having
flowers, birds and foliage in relief, and
cost $125 yard, the actual value of
the raw silk, it is said, being 500.
The empress was so struck with its
beauty that she had not the heart
to cut it up, and it was eventually
turned into curtains. The price paid
for this material is about double as
much as the famous cloth Of gold
that Louis XIV had made into dress
ing gown.

Should Wear Loves Sign.

Women have gone on for ages past
wearing their symbols Of engagement
and marriage, never asking why their
fances and husbands should move un-
marked midst men and maidens. This
is a state Of things which call aloud
for alteration, and it is consumma-
tion devoutly to be wished that men
should start with the custom OF wear
ing first the jeweled circlet and then
the plain gold one-outward and visible
signs Of engagement and marriage.
The girls say they are placed at dis
advantage, and from more than one
point Of view. Forinstance, how en-
barrassing for young girl to be made
acquainted at distance with an ap-
parently eligible and undoubtedly at
tractive youth, who, after the polite
formalities, suggests a stroll through
the conservatory in lieu of dancing a
certain number. What more natural
than the weaving Of the romantic spell
| attendant upon moonlit conservatories,
murmuring palms, dreamy waltz music
in the distance and the contiguity OF
! youth? What more natural than the
anticipation Of a companionable, not
to say tender, acquaintance? And
what more disappointing than the
matter-of- fact announcement as the
man bids the maid adieu: II would so
like to have you meet my Gancee.
No, the girls say there isn't a fair
point about the existing conditions.
They advocate the wearing Of an en-
gagement ring by the man, just as an
engagement ring is worn by the wo-
man. No one ever mistakes AMEN
gagged girl. Even without the ring,
the air Of conscious superiority, OF
condescending good humor, would
stamp the young woman as mortgaged
property. And with the assistance
and addition of the ring there is abso-
lutely no chance for error. And what
is true Of engagements, so the girls
contend, is even more applicable after
marriage. A married man, wearing
no badge Of servitude-if we except
the guilty look from the corner Of the
eye and the crimins! and suspicion
arousing slappias Of the letter pocket
lis in imminent danger of being en-
gagged in dangerous converse by wo-
mankind. And, by the same token,
womankind is at times unwisely and
unwittingly kind to the unlabeled
married man. All entangling ALI
ances and dangerous complications
| could be avoided by judicious use of
the ring. The custom, once adopted
by an accepted leader, would undoubt-
edly rebound to the credit everlasting
of the pioneer. There is no reason
why men should not wear engagement
rings, and every reason possible why
they should. They cannot object on
the score of not liking such decora-
ton, no man objects to wearing the
badge Of particular Office or a cross
or medal won for some heroic act.
Let men. therefore, when they have
won it, wear loves badge with greater
pride and gladness than any other

rortunity offered to forward them to
the Commander-in-Chief Of the Con-
federate Army. Jarboe knew in just
what manner such an opportunity
would present itself.
Prior to the outbreak Of the war one
Of the noted characters on the Poto-
mac was Captain Charles Caywood Of
Charles County, Maryland. He had
early joined the Confederate Army,
bu. after several months service his
company was for some reason disband-
ed, and he took to guerrilla warfare,
blockade running, and seeking infor-
nation for the Confederates. One Of
his stations aud hiding places when
north of she river was at Jarboe' S
house, and, unless in some manner
prevented, he usually made his ap-
pearance there once every two or three
weeks. The place was admirably sit
uated and adapted to Caywood's con-
venience and safety.
It was but twelve miles from Wash
ington, from which place communica-
tions were received almost daily from
friends of Che Confederacy concerning
the movements of the Northern Army.
