ArRY1NG SITUATION


 A TRYING SITUATION. T looked at the prisoner, and was pexed by doubt. With battle on one side of him and a woman on the other what ls man to do? She returned my gaze with great, pure eyes, which seemed to say I was villain, a monster, yet I had been doing my exact duty, that of . faithful soldier in the cause of the Continental congress and freedom, while she, woman, a girl, had presumed to turn from the things for which God had intended her and to meddle with war. was more than vexed-I was an gry, angry at her for attempting such task and angry at myself for being forced into situation so full of troubles. On the right. in the fringe of woods a quarter of mile away, the last rifle shot had been fired, and its echo was speeding across the far hills. The pow der flashed. TO more, and the smoke rose in lazy coils over the ground on which men had fought and some had died. The victors the captured detail with them, were riding away. l almost fan cied I could hear the beat of their horses hoofs, and the dead, I knew, lay with their faces upturned to the sun. waiting there until the last trump called to them to rise again. And here was l, an atom, left in the drift of the armies, cut off from my comrades and alone with this girl.
 The horses shifted about uneasily, stamped their feet, and once mine raised his head and neighed, as if in truth he heard the beating hoofs of the galloping g detachment. He knew that his com rades, too, Were leaving him, though l cannot say that it was a assertion in tended by either horse or man.
 The girls look of reproach turned to one of inquiry. She sat on a log, her little riding whip hanging idly ill her hand. For the first time took note of

Early New York,s JournaIism.

A newspaper writer has discovered
that the first newspaper in New York
was begun on November 16, 1925;
Iecond one entered the field November
b, 1893. During the Revolution there
were five, which, by agreement. ap-
peared on each day Of the week, ex-
cept Sunday and Monday. Up to 1888
no daily had circulation of 5000.
Advertising agents were unknown.
The Sun, established September 3.
1888, was the first successful penny
paper. 1t soon printed four times as
many copies as the largest of the dai-
lies, and its success made many iml-
lators. The editor of daily had but
one assistant, and he rarely brought
In from the outside more than three
or four paragraphs in a day. The total
receipts Of the chief newspaper In
1925 might have been $35. 900; In 1S45.
100000; in 1860, 5000 1000; and in 1872.
81 100000. The trade and commercial
weeklies began as far back as 1870.
but most of the strong ones were
founded just before the Civil War, and

established.

woman's Eton Jacket.

In spite of the favor shown the
longer models, the Eton jacket Is In
the height of style, and by many wom-
en- is preferred TO all other wraps.
This jaunty little coat is suited alike
to the costume and the separate wrap,
and allows of being worn open or
closed as preferred. The May Man
ton original, shown in the large draw
ing, is made of French broadcloth in
tobacco brown, and is worn with a
skirt of the same and over a shirt
waist Of white taffeta, but velveteen,
corduroy, zebeline, cameps hair, che
viot and all suitlng materials, as well
as the. heavier cloaking cloths are ap-
propriate. The back extends to the
waist line only, but includes under
arm cores that render the fit specially
satisfactory. The fronts are fitted
with single darts and are elongated TO
extend below the belt at the centre.
The neck Is finished with n regulation
collar that rolls over, with the fronts,
to form revers. The sleeves are in
coat style, simply stitched at the low
er edges. When closed the jacket is
buttoned in double breasted fashion
and the revers become short, but when
worn open they are rolled back to the
waist.
TO cut this jacket for a woman of
medium size three and three-eighth
yards of material twenty inches wide,
one and half yards forty-four inches
wide or one and three-elghth yards
fifty inches wide win be required.

Coat collars are noticeably high this
season. Be it Napoleon" or the high
turnover" it must measure no less
than four and a half inches. This is
intended to give us n rest from the
rolling and storm collars which have
usurped attention so long. The high
turnover" being SO high, protects that
delicate portion of the human anato-
my, the back of the neck, and so it is
of good shape to fit smoothly on the
shoulders. We have no use for an
old-style, low-necked coat this winter.
The trend of fashion is all the other
way.

ON gloves. The first trying on Of a
glove is the most important, because
by this act the glove is set. First
shake some powder into each finger
of the glove, then place your elbow
firmly ON a table, with the hand up

over the fingers, and, after seeing that
each seam Of the glove is straight with
the lines of the finger, coax each finger
into the finger of the glove. BE sure

Broad fur collars are now in great
vogue. They are ample in proportions
and taper down to the breast, where
the collar is finished by great bow
knot of fur. Narrow widths Of chin
chilla are used for these bowknots.
The loops reach almost to the waist,
and the furred ends hang far down
to the bottom of the Louis Quinze
coat. A great deal of fur is used up
in the loops and ends of the bowknot
of fur. AS matter of fact the bow
is already knotted. 1t would spoil
a delicate fur like chinchilla to be
ceaselessly tying and untying it.
