Women who make up materials fairly well

they desire-an employment that never in

An army nurse but lately returned from
Cuba to Washington declares that never

Washington Post. It was before HOSTILE

visit of her Cuban 1aAndress The woman
was intensely excited. Anxiety set on her
brow and sorrow dwelt in her eyes. She
gesticulated and she talked The nurse
knew not a word of what she said but
the pantomime filed her with terror. The
Cubans hands seemed to speak of an at
tack on the hospital-of wounded men
butchered and nurses cut to ribbons. The
nurse was frantic. She must know the
worst. In the hospital was an officer very

life or death would she disturb him, but
this was obviously a matter of life or

sick man turned his head on the pillows

That same nurse confesses to having

Society Is laughing itself sick over an
amazing incident which occurred at a GER
tain fashionable residence not many days
ago, says the Louisville Times. A we'll
known young lawyer was the victim.
It seems that during the course of the
evening he took advantage of an opportu-
nifty and imprinted kiss on the fair cheek
of his hostess, much to her surprise and
indignation.
"Sir, how dare you" she exclaimed, or
words TO that effect. 'If you ever presume
to do thing like that again III tell my
fatherl'
But the young lawyer either thought that
it was a bluff or else liked it so we'll that
he was willing to take the consequences.
Anyhow, he repeated the offense. He
was not very much surprised to see heT
jump UP and leave the room with fine
air of offended dignity.
That's all bluff" thought he. "she
will go upstairs and get a handkerchief
and then come down and scoid me-" He
was still in this frame of mind when he
heard the parlor door behind him open
There she is" thought he. And then he
said aloud: "Well did you tea him?"
A moment later his blood froze in horror
as a deep voice replied: Eyes, Mr. - my
daughter told me-
But there was no need to say more. Al
the sound of the unfamiliar voice the
young lawyer had looked around. When
he saw the father with a long, modern
rife in his hands he waited no longer.
With one bound he had reached the win
dow. and he went through it, sash and all
leaving his hat behind him.
What he did not know was that the
young ady's anger had melted by the time
she had reached her fathers room, but
she decided to play a joke on him.
Father" said She Mr.. - is down.

of the other girls asked him. and he sent
1t to them, that thought l would rather
ask you to get 1t for me. Won't you please
do this for me? 1t is so hard TO get white
hair for lilies of the valley"
This was a terrible blow, and the less
now said about locks of hair in that old
gentlemens presence the better.
A New York girl who makes a business
of washing cats gives the following as her

Besides the artistic monument to be
erected in the cemetery in Richmond BY
which the women Of the South propose to
commemorate che virtues of the "Daugh-
ter Of the Confederacy'' a second beautl-
full tablet in memory of Miss Winnie
Davis is to be placed on one of the walls
of st. Pauls Protestant Episcopal Church
in Richmond, Va, and is the gift of Am
brose A. Maginnis. a prominent and
wealthy citizen of New Orleans who has
always been a warm friend of the Davis
family. The modelling OF the tablet in
plaster has just been competed by George
J. Zolnay in his New York studio. The
tablet, which is five feet long and three
feet wide. is at once to be cast in bronze
by the Henry Bonnard Company. The
vestrymen of st. Pauls Church and Mrs.
Davis, acting for Mr.. Maginnls, have
formally accepted the work. Mrs. Davis
considers the portrait of her daughter
faithful likeness and is highly pleased
with the sculptor's artistic conception.
The design shows a bas-relef encircled
with palms, the center Of a decorated
niche. A cherubs head is placed In tym-
panum and the base bears the memorial
inscription

The increasing prices asked by dress
makers have alarmed Paris. and one case
was fragrant enough to attract the atten-
tion of the experts. The present head of
the Doueet establishment testified that no
dressmaker was justified In more than 80
per cent profit. This, says the New York
Sun, was brought out when a dressmaker
sued a woman to recover part Of her bill
which the defendant refused to pay The
court decided, after hearing the famous
dressmaker's testimony. that the remaind-
er need not be paid. The margin of al
lowable profit had been exceeded. Since
that time various other cases have arisen
with the result that committee has been
formed to investigate the conditions scien-
tifically and decide whether or not there
really has been during recent years a
steady and continued advance in the prices
demanded for dress. New York women
would willingly give II as their opinion
that this advance had happened In New
York There were fifteen years ago dress
makers In New York who asked prices
quite as high as any that are demanded
nowadays, Dot they were at that time ox-
cepiiOual The very high-priced dressmak-
ers have increased IN numbers along with

making any Roadway whatever In this

Their Farmers are Ready to Enter
Extensively Into the Beet

A. Farmers financial and CONNER
cial conditions In general.
II you travel through our southern
valleys and scan the appearance of our
towns and villages, you discover
great deal Of difference in quality and
costliness OF homes and their surround
ings in architecture, gardening, APP
planes, Of modern Improvements and
conveniences, etc; in all, you see the
many grades from poor to rich. If
you inquire who lives In this fine
house? Is It a farmer? No. And
next you come TO a log or adobe house.
You ask. Does here reside farmer?
Yes. And In eight cases out Of ten
you find the farmer in the latter con-
ditlon.
Without entering into long argu-
mentation Of what might be the cause
OF such differences in financial condl-
tons, or how to remedy the condition
