tune if you want the very latest touch
of fashion.

ly attractive.

are made of india null elahorasely
trimmed with yellow valenciennes lace.

ished with yellow satin ribbon bows.
Pretty little collar clasps come in all
sorts of pretty designs to fasten ribbons
around the neck There are butterflies
and conventional patterns in various
colors, in enamel and with mock pre-
cious stones.
Embroidered muslin we'll covered

one of the most fashionable materials

or pink taffeta, with tuck of black in
the finish, it is charming.

novelty in trimming is covering the in
side of the brim with flowers.
Straw designs wrought out on silver
and gold cloth, net and chiffon inser-
tions. figure largely among the milli-
merry materials. A new and very stylish
combination is a holland colored straw
trimmed with black velvet and white
chiffon, and this sort of hat is especially
good style for morning wear. New

grassy mound, does she murmur and de-
mand reason for the sacrifice ? Or per-
chance does some child. as today it scat
ters the wild flowers of spring upon some
soldiers grave, "wonder what the war
was all for, and why they killed men so:'
To this question, if such there be, this
answer comes up from the graves of
those departed ones. Thirty-eight years
ago this very spring time shot was
fired in Charleston lIarbor, the echoes OF
which reached even these green hills.
That shot was leveled at the constitution
and laws of our country, and was the
signal gun for the mad uprising of an
immense army Of men demanding the
overthrow of both Instantly the south
ern sky was black with the clouds of
war and bayonets bristled and sabers
cleaned along the south bank of the
Potomac. That army under strange
flag threatened the Capitol itself, the

the appeal was to arms. Bayonet met

ton and laws We're upheld nay, more;

Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful Odds

Yes, many fell; four hundred thousand
laid down their lives to preserve and
purge the constitution. The sacrifice
was indeed great. but the cause was great
also. And we are told that:
They never fail. who die
In great cause; the block may soak
their gore;
Their heads may sodden in the sun !;
their limbs
Be strung to city gates or castle walls;
But still their spirit walks abroad.
Though years

My friends, have you ever stopped to
