RELICS IN FOUR REVOLUTIONS.
Silverware that Was Brought to Col
Ouies 300 Years Ago.

Silverware that Was Brought to Col
Ouies 800 Years Ago.
Some very old and interesting relics,
dating 300 years back, and which were
used by General Washington, are in the
possession of Rev. A. r. Holderby, of
this city, says the Atlanta Constitution.
They consist of an old silver service
and time-worn Bible, which are heir
looms in DIR. Holderby's family.
The heirlooms came originally from
France, whence DR.. Holderby's ances-
tors fed from the prosecutions of the
Huguenots. A silver sugar bowl, with
cover, a cream pitch. sugar tOngs, sew
eral large and small spoons, and soup
ladle are among the pieces. They were
brought to America by General Daniel
ROberdeau, son of Isaac RObefdeau,
native of Rochelle, who left France
upon the revocation of the edict of
Nantes and took refuge on the island
of st. Christopher in 1888.
General ROberdeaus father brought
over with him his silver plate, family
Bible and other valuables, which DR..
Holderby. his grandson. has now in At
lanta.
The Bible is 271 years old. 1t is in
old French and a little leather bound
volume the first edition, as is said in
the publishers notice, in small and
portable form. The volume was said
to have been rescued from bonfire in
Rochelle when the Bibles of the Hugue-
nOts were ordered to be burned. II
was then wrapped in a napkin and hid.
den beneath a loose board in the floor
to be taken out for family prayers,
which were obliged TO be in secret. The
volume was afterward buried with the
silver dining wares. Its covers are
/ loose and worn. but the print is excel
| lently preserved.
! The four revolutions in which these
relics were buried were first in France
I in 1880. then in Philadelphia in 1776
in the war of 1912. and lastly in Madi-

the summer girls have been acquiring,
but they're a lot prettier than their pred
ecesSors. First is shown white serge
gown. the skirt finished with a band of
red and white striped cloth headed with
a floral design in white soutache. The
jacket fastened in front with white silk
frogs and was of the striped material,
with a sailor collar of white pique en-
broidered in red. The pleated suit was
white brilliantine, with stitching in green
silk floss and with panels of white bril-
liantine figured in green. Last is a tennis
gown of grass linen cloth, trimmed with
Bulgarian embroidery and worn with a
dainty white lawn and cream lace inser-
ton bodice. These get-ups are quite I'M
like the prevailing plain shirt waist and
short skirt of last year, and the latter
costume finds but one supporter among
the current stylish acceptances. This is
the automobile coat, which still may be
plainness itself and yet be stylish. A
common type of it appears beside the in
itial, and as sketched was shaded dark
red and black silk, with sailor collar of
the same. Such coats are made also of
shaded dark green. blue and dark red silk,
and are finished with bands of the silk or
are stitched in black. Some have a lace
sailor collarI but more have collars of
the silk. Black taffeta is still popular.
Grass linens and silk pongees are worn
extensively, but are not as elaborate as
are the silk ones. During the summer a
general step has been taken toward elabo-
rateness, anyhow, and it is likely that
this garment will set its stamp on the
nd birh " oh Of ~

placed, either back to the curtain or
with the side of the body toward it, ac-

is constructed Il hood. The framework
of this is Of strips Of wood put together
in the form shown in the illustration.

! the light down upon the sitter. Over
this is put q cover of black cloth, that
the light may not come through and
strie the lens of the camera.
White and black paper will answer
as we'll as CLOTH The camera must be
placed high enough on the tripod or
the hood be brought down low enough
so that no light from the upper sash
may fall upon the camera lens. If the
camera is placed directly in front of
the window, the cloth covering the
lower sash will form the background of
the portrait. If the sitter sits with his
side toward the window, background
should be hung from the side of the
hood, coming down behind the sitter.
If at any time the light is too strong,
a square of white muslin can be pinned
across the base of the hood above the
head of the sitter. This will difuse
the light somewhat and temper 1t.
With these suggestions the amateur
ought to be able by experimenting to
reach a successful method of portrait
taking in his own house. Some expert
menting is necessary, since in no two
houses are the conditions of light and
windows exactly the, same.-Webb

THE FUGITIVE.


A hunted thing, through copse and wood
Night after night he skulked and
crawled.
To whore, amid dark homesteads, stood
One gloomy garden locked and walled.
He paused in fear each step he took,
And waited till the moon was gone;
Then stole in by the little brook
That still laughed down the terraced
lawn.
And up the well-known path he crept,
And through the tangled briars tore;
And he, while they who sought him slept,
Saw his ancestral home once more.
There song and lights were still astir,
And by her he could see one stand,
land he had Jared so far to herd
Who spoke with her and took her hand.
Then back by copse and wood he crept
While yet the dawn was cold and dim;
And while in her white room she slept,
Twas his old hound crawled back with
him.

sequence is that in the outing suits plan

Taking Portraits at Home.

One of the most interesting features
of amateur photography is the taking
Of portraits. This work is of two kinds
the out of door snap shot portraiture
that is often very successful, so far as
the likeness" goes, but always lacks
the fine balancing of light and shade,
and the artistic finish of portrait that
is taken where the amount and the di-
rectiOn of the light can be controlled.
For the majority of amateurs the
light that comes from the ordinary
house window must be utilized.
The trouble encountered here is that

The so-called sensitOmeter number of
dry plates is a delusion. Why plate
makers keep it up is one of the things
photographers cannot explain. One
firm uses 90 as indicating about the ex-
IRENE of rapidity, another has 60, and
there is a third with 40 What does it
all amount to, anyway? Dry plates take
on rapidity with age, and a plate that
is medium" when new will be chain
lightning, or whatever else you want
to call it, after it has been kept long
enough. Some of the makers of the
best plates are dropping the numbering
and giving a name to distinguish the
slower from the extremely rapid. That
is all right and answers all purposes.
