The local G. A. r. is about to take
steps for the suitable observance Of
Memorial Day on May 30th next. With
each passing year the work of prepar-
ing for the observance of this day falls
more and more heavily upon the ranks
of the old veterans, but while they
maintain an organization, or while
there are enough of them to get to-
gether to take charge of the duties of
that days observance, it is theirs by
right to do So and no man should in
terfere But there is a feat ure that
other citizens can take part in, and it
is but right that they should. and
that is to assist the old soldier boys in
making the observance of that day
what it should be. To tender them
aid in financial way, so that the
burden of that days work will not
rest so heavily upon their shoulders.
Several years ago a movement was
started among our citizens, by which
material aid was rendered to the local
G. A. R. in the work of the observ-
ance of Memorial Day and it was
greatly appreciated by the ''boys in
blue" and it would be most fitting
that such an act be repeated this year.
But few years more and the boys
who defended the flag will have passed
away. But the heroes of 81 to '65
should not be forgotten. Their deeds
and their sacrifices should be tenderly
and gratefully remembered. Soon it
will devolve upon other hands to OBJ
serve the day, to strew flowers upon
the graves of the heroic dead. Far bet
ter would it be to commence now
while large fragment of that heroic
army is yet among the living, to show
the full measure of our appreciation
for their priceless sacrifices and ma
terially aid in making day which
lies so close to their hearts, and which
is tinged with many sad memory,
also filled with the joyous thought that
memory of their work will live and
the patriotic fires which were re-
kindled in those dark days will con-
tinue to burn brightly down through
the years to come. 1t will cost each
but very little to Tighten this burden
of expense, while the satisfaction at
so doing will be many fold.

England stood next. France, str ange
as it may seem, he said, did not oc-
cupy very advanced ground in the So
cialistic movement The FIR ench
movement he thought was more an
archistic. He gave his opinion that
socialism as revolutionary force was
dying out, while in our tendencies to-
ward socialistic features are constantly
growing.
Rev. Fl. D. Williams led the discus
sion and went back to the earlier ten
denotes in the worlds civilization,
which led to. socialism, and in brief
way gave very thorough revie W
thereof. He also agreed that the rev.
olutionary growth of socialism was
on the decline, but that society was all

socialistic ideas.

OUT OF A CUSTOMARY
GREETING
THE RUsE OF THE cHAPERoNE
EmperOr's Romantic COurtshIp OF
the Fair Eugene de MOntijO-
Incidents in Empress
GiPlhO0d.

In a pretty little apartment in the
Avenue des Ternes, Paris, there lives an
agreeable old lady, with snow-white hair
and snappy black eyes, who is brimtul
of stories about the family that welded
the last imperial destines of France
She Is Nine. Menagere, for many years
dame de compagne to Princess Mathilde,
the sister of Napoleon III. Although she
has passed those duties on to younger
hands, for the old princess still keeps
up considerable state in her daily life
the ties of friendship remain strong be-
tween the two old ladies.
When the Partisan hotel of the princess
is occupied, the great lady's landau, with
its two pompous men on the box, ar
rives once or twice week at the house
in the Avenue des Ternes to fetch the
old companion for a cup of tea and a
freside chat, says the Inter Ocean. 1t
is then, over the steam of that harmless
nepenthe, that old times and old scenes
are revived-scenes of those mirthful
days when the beautiful Eugene was the
idolized empress of the tickle French
1t is to this friendly gossip that the fol-
lowing story of the proposal Of Napoleon
for the hand OF Mile. de Montijo is due,
and coming from such source it may
be relied upon as possessing more the
flavor of truth than most of the romances
that have been woven and scattered
broadcast.
Everybody has been told how the young
emperor saw and fell captive to the
charms of the fair Castilian while she
was riding in the Bots, but few know that
that was not his first glimpse of her
That first sight of the beautiful Eugene
was also accidental and it had stifre .
him to admiration years before under
rather tragic circumstances. After the
Strasburg fiasco of 1886, the young Louis
Napoleon was arrested and shut up IN
the barracks until the lettering throne
of Louis Philippe had gained his equili-
brium. and his ministers decided to send
the pretender on the four months voyage
to America that we all know about now.

Some Hints About the Make of
Skirts

It is a matter of individual taste
whether skirts made of faced cloths and
materials of similar weight should be
Tired or not, but since il is now well
known that much weight does not neces,
sarily mean warmth, many prefer to
have their cloth skirts made up with
loose drop-skirt Innings, or even without
any lining whatever, electing to wear
the silk underskirt as a separate gar
ment, says Harper's Bazaar. Once this
plan is adopted it is generally continued,
especially with the prevailing long skirts,
as they are SO much more easily lifted.
Skirts made Up in this way, especially
when of lightweight Venetian or face
cloth, require rice facings about thirteen
inches deep, which should be of silk pre-
ferably. The next best material is fine
Italian cloth Or 1ansdowne.
The facing must be cut very carefully
to correspond with shapeSof lower edge
of. skirt. For the amateursthe safest plan
is. to cut it the required depth to match
the lower edge of each portion of the
skirt, and then join the pieces together,
as in the case of the skirt seams, stitch
ing the silk with slightly, narrower turn
ings if the same have been allowed on
both so as to make it the least bit loose
on the cloth. ~
