Kansas Girls Organ
lie to Catch Funs-
toms Gallant Soldiers

sas Girls Bachelor club. The name is q
misnomer, for the real object of each
member is to marry one of Funston's he
roic soldiers. When a girl came to the
clubrooms and wanted to join, she had to
promise as follows:
That she would marry no other than a
soldier who had fought with the TWEEN
tieth Kansassvolunteers.
That when these gallant fellows re-
turned home she would use every honor
able means to captivate one of them.
That she must be pretty before she
could enter the club and must pledge
herself that she already had no sweet
heart in that regiment, else this would
be unfair to the other 40 members.
Then a list of prizes were named for
the winners. The first prize was a costly
silver tea service. Other prizes were
less valuable.
On July 20 last there came in at the
Golden Gate a shipload of wounded sol
diers, and among them 81 of the wound
ed Kansas boys, who at once FASTENED
home. One of them was Private David
son of Company H. His home was at
Winfield, in the storm center Of these
girls.

the whole club was there to meet him,
and he never received such an ovation
before. Every one Of those pretty girls
kissed the crippled hero. and of course
he took it good naturally. What else
could he do?
But he was Ill and weak, and for sew
eral days he did not venture to leave his
home. Then one day he took a walk.
He tainted in the sun, and when he re-
yived he found his head supported by

err varying color. This is the accepted
cloth for deepest mourning. This gown
had three narrow lines of black Grape
around the skirt in tablier form. There
was a Jacket of the same cut away in
front and bordered with a line of Grape
like that on the skirt. There was a full
Grape vest and reyers covered witt Grape.
A cape costume for a young widow has
the dress of eudora covered entirely with
the Grape. AS time passes the Grape is
cut away, leaving the beautiful eudora
uncovered. 1t is cut away one-third from
the top at the end of six months. At the
end of a year but a narrow strip is left
around the bottom or as panels and trim
ming on the waist.
The skirt is cut in a name to show
that the wearer has no heart for ex-
tremes in style now, and it has, covered
with the Grape, rather a cumbrous APP
pearance.
The cape is an ordinary military shape,
and, by the way. that viii be a very pop
ular shape for all sorts Of cape materials.
This cape had a box plating Of the same
around it about eight inches from the
bottom. rather closer in front. The col
lar was more like a very high and volumi-
nous stock than anything. 1t was be-
coming, however.
For runabout there are short jackets
in boucle and in black melton, made in
the most evere style. But the greatest
of all the novelties in mourning wraps Is
the large doubled shawl with a deep
border of Grape. These shawls are of
eudora, in a specially wide weave,
silk warp henrietta and drap d'ete.
This last is apt to be unduly heavy when
trimmed with Grape, as it is fleece lined,
though the surface is very rich.
These shawIs are made long so as to
be worn double. They are bordered with
the Grape in such a way as to show the
wide band always. These shawls are
very costly. Formerly they had fringe.
The shawl has something about its mas
sive folds indicative Of the deepest woe
and is peculiarly suitable for mothers
who have lost their sons or elderly wild
ows who cannot expect to find another
husband.

little more firmly. 1t Is composed en-
tireIy of crane laid in folds. The Marie
Stuart point is often seen, particularly
for widows when the white roll is used.
Many ladies object to ~parading thus
nnbicly the exact nature of their be-
reavement, and in this country it is not
required so strictly as in England, where
the queen always wears her widows cap.
Wells are long when worn at all. Most of
them are doubled and reach to the hem
of the dress, and the ends are hemmed up
half a yard on one end and a quarter Of
q yard on the upper. The veil is brought
TO a point in the middle and this point
folded forward and then fastened closely
with very small black pins, the most OF
them hidden. AT the top Of the head the
folds are allowed to branch out, so that
the veil falls in graceful folds. II Is ny
no means easy to get a veil to hang rlgnt
alone.
For a sister one may wear after the
first month a gown of grenadine, or IN
Iced any black material, trimmed with
beading or narrow black chiffon ruches
and ruffles. A gown for q young WIDOW
Is of Priestley silk warp eudora ciotn.
The whole dress is covered with Grape
save one narrow band Of the eudora at
the bottom. The waist is plain and tight,
with five YER narrow milliner's folds Of
the Grape down each side Of the front
and a folded belt. she sleeves are long,
tight and plain, with six or seven folds
at the top in form of "caps."
For a young mother bereayed of her
child there was a gown of eudora, which
is the one perfect material beyond COM

Time to Resign.

Sir Edward Russell tells a story of Mr.
Bright's connection with the old Morning
Star as part proprietor, of his frequent
visits to the Office and of his friendly
communication with the conductors Of
that paper. On one occasion he did write
a leading article. 1t was long and had
due prominence in the paper But the
editor and the other writers thought 1t
poor and numbering, and it would not
have gone in If it had not been written
by the great man, whose contribution
could not. of course, be refused. Next
day a Tory journal came out with a reply
to it. the first sentence Of which was as
follows:
.sThe great tribune has laid aside his
pen. and some miserable hireling Of The
Morning Star has taken it up"
Mr.. Bright called at The Morning Star
office that afternoon and, with a placid,
good natured smile, said, Il don't think

She became infatuated with the savage
and spent so much time in the dirty
kraal that scandal was caused. Other
women go into raptures over the black
men, make them gifts and do all manner
of foolish things.
There is much agitation in London over
the attention that white women Of good
breeding persist in bestowing on these
savages in the Earl's Court exhibition,
and a strong demand is made that the
kraaI, where the natives live, be closed.
