singers are given to taking sick at a minutes notice, and l didn't know whether you were an exception or not Under these circumstances, the man. agement is often hard put to 1t to find an acceptable substitute. Not but what there are plenty of good singers who are capable of filling the vacant places. The difficulty is that those singers are all unknown, and nobody ever thinks of giving them trial.
 "'When l came on here ea.'ly in the season I sized up that phase of the situation at glance. I saw scores of girls eating their very hearts out--and it was about ali they had to eat, poor things-waiting for appreciation from audiences they never got chance to sing before. and I made up my mind that if Western grit was worth any thing at all it was worth enough to keep me from becoming such a nonen- tity. So I just mustered up all my pluck and commenced a campaign of my own.
 All winter I have been watching musical programs, big and little, like hawk, and I have visited all the con- traltos just as I have come to you and asked to be allowed to sub for them in case they should be suddenly inca pacitated for duty

 Three dozen pairs of fine white cam bric sheets. with english embroidery borders in festoons, and large mono gram in a medallion. All the designs are different and harmonize with the style of the bedroom. I particularly admired the lawn sheet in the Louis XIV style, with very pure design copied at the Trianon, trimmed with. a shaped 1ounce edged with wide Va lenciennes lace and insertion. to match, surmounted by marvellous embroider- les.
 Twelev dozen pillowcases to match will suffice, plus three dozen bolster cases, and which are tied with broad ribbon, with a large bow at each end; six fancy bed quilts in squares of Ital- ian net, or Flanders point, alternating with squares of embroidered lawn, all with different patterns. These are de- tails of a delightful fastidiousness car ried to it sextreme limits in the small est details of modern "luXe intime."
 Speaking from memory, I must add the peignoirs for the bAthroom and twelve dozen towels. divided into four series; one of birds eye diaper, hemmed with d drawn stitch; another embroid- cred in variegated festoons; a third very fine and Ornamented with Venice gulpure insertion, and the fourth trim med with Venice guipure or incrusted with stars of guipure. alternating with roses in embroidery, in bands or squares, inedallions. festoons or gar lands.

 I sincerely rejoice in the thought that your visits to Paris are about at last to be renewed more frequently, for I do not doubt that your grandmotherly devotion will often bring you here. though all the solicitations of your friends are in vain.
 In the meantime. dear godmother. l an quite ready to prove myself worthy of the confidence you have manifested in me by consulting me on the import ant question of Yvonne's trousseau. You calumniate yourself when you ex- press doubt as to your exquisite and sure taste, and the most your grand children can say of you is that you are little old-fashioned if you bring out again one of the innumerable trous- seaux that occupy whole floors of wardrob bes.
 But you know perfectly we'll that your godchild will spare you that worry. and since in this matter you want to make me "rarbitre des ele- gances." will do my best to satisfy you"

MRS. SARAH THOMSON.
Wife OF Prof. j. w. Thomson of Rock
Hill. Sleeps With Her Fathers.

This community was shocked last Monday
morning by the reception OF q telegram an
nouncing the sudden, death OF Mrs. Sarah
Perrin Thomson, wife OF Prof. ]. W. Thorn
Mrs, Thomson was related, by blood or mar
riage, to nearly all of the older citizens OF the
town, and she was beloved by all who knew
her. Hers was notably happy househoid;
hearts turned to her, and every heart was
cheered and nourisLed by her loving nature:
Her sympathetic words were comfort and
an Inspiration. In her death her own family
is bersft very much as was her mothers
(amily. Her mother died, leaving family
OF Dung children, and, now, as II history
was repeating itself, she herself leaves six
motherless children.
The manner of Mrs. Thomson's taking Of
was such that none Of her people were pre-
pared for the bereavement. When she Icy

neither she nor any Of her family suspected
the near approach OF the last great enemy.
Without fear or anxiety all looked hopefully
to the coming OF another day. But IN the
darkness, when they were all asleep, her
heart ceased to beat, and the invisible. angels
bore her INVISIBLE spirit away TO her home be-

ing. The soul and the life had departed.
Her remains were received In Abbevllle
yesterday morning. At ten O'Clock the fun.
eral services were held in the Presbyterian
church. The burial was at Long Cane.
The following account OF Mrs. Thompson's
death was furnished to The state:
Rock Hill. July l.-Mrs. Thomson, wife OF
Prof. ]. W. Thompson Of Winthrop college,
died suddenly OF congestive chill at o'clock
this morning. Mrs. Thomson has been sick
for some weeks and on that account Prof.
Thomson had not been at the summer school
where he is an important factor. Yesterday,
however the wife was 30 much better that he
left home and was away when the sudden
summons came. None OF the family were
present bat reached the bedside soon after the
soul had departed. Mrs. Thomson was a
member of one OF the States first families,
being daughter Of the late Col. jas. Ward:
law Perrin Of Aobeville. She was about 80
years old and the mother OF seven children,
six OF whom survive. Her youngest was six
weeks old. The remains will be taken To-
morrow TO Long Cane churchyard, near Alb.
bevilie where generations OF her family are
buried.
This death comes as an unusually sad
shock to this community where Mrs. Thom-
son has for ten or twelve years lived and en-.
deared herself by her strong character and
unusually tender relations as wife and moth
er.
