TO say what dresses the wardrobe OF a
well-dressed woman should include.
You know there is the yachting woman.
the hunting woman and many other
classes OF good dressers, who have
STYLES of their own. Every woman
must be her own judge.
Il believe that Paris viii always be
the leading city for fashionable dress
wearers. Fashions started there, and
believe that it viii always keep In
the lead.
English women are just learning
how TO dress. AS they have learned
from their American cousins. | VIII

The Boer war has greatly affected

wardrobe with all the suffering In evil

Lieutenant Frank Trenholm, of his
staff, rode down the front Of his line
and after ordering the charge aud wav-
ing his hat to the Twenty fourth, rode
away in the smoke of battle, never

commanded on 80 many fields. His
horse was shot and he was leading the
right OF the brigade on foot, when he
fell, pierced through the heart.
Brigadier General Maxcy Gregg was
born in Columbia, s. c., and was
killed ct the battle of fredericksburg

Brigadier General bIicah Jenkins

larger part Of Johnston's division, and
A. P. Hill was called on for rein-
forcements, that Perrin came up,
leading his brigade through terrible

his horse just as he reached the

So you can see that out of four
Southern States 175 Confederate gen.
erals bore with the privates the hard
ships and struggles Of four years
desperate war. From that number 36

of their homes, their wives, their
country. The last breath from many
of these Christian heroes was a mes

these noble women Mrs. FELTON,
says: "The proudest boast of the
late Southern Confederacy in defeat is
the noble characters and virtuous
lives of its women. There may have
been spies and pirates and traitors
among them, but we have never heard
OF them after ~ years of struggle and
trial. To-day there is no higher strain
known to civilization than the anti

South for refinement, virtue and clean

There were all sorts of blunders made
at Queen Victoria's coronation, and the
queen never knew what she was to do
pext. They made her leave her chair
and enter st. Edwards chapel before
the prayer was concluded, much to the
discontinue Of the archbishop.
The ruby coronation ring, according
to the rubrlc. should go on the fourth
finger. In this case the ring had been
made for the little finger, which the
queen accordingly held out when the
proper time came. The archbishop re.
fused to put it on that finger and said
it must go on the fourth. The queen
demonstrated, declaring that she could
not get it OH. but the archbishop insist
ed that 1t had to go. Accordingly the
other rings were taken off. and the
new one was forced on with such pain
that as soor as the ceremony was over
the queen had to battle her finger In ice
