war Office. In 1866 the guards were

skinned and cooked, but while the men
were still eating scouts came in with
the news that the Austrians were near
at hand.
The men got into marching order and
in few minutes were in rapid adj
vance toward the enemy. The Grena-
der guards. conspicuous always for
their dispatch, hurried to such purpose
that they failed TO secure the skin Of
a COW which had been made over TO
them for rations.
When the official who was RESPONSE

ask for it, It had TO be reported miss.

dence was collected, and voluminous
correspondence lasting fourteen or fif-
teen months failed TO account for the
skin.
There had been a cow. She had been
made over TO the guards. She had a
hide. The hide was government prop
erty, representing a sum fixed by OIL
cial tariff. The government must be
credited with that sum. The hide was
not forthcoming. Who should be re-

he was requested by the war Office to

Of one cowskin lost by the Grenadicr
guards. When the sum was paid. the
subject was at last officially dropped.

Fashions in Shoes

Tan shoes are not being worn much
in town. but a well-known young So
eiety matron wore a pair of Colonial
ues Of that shade with a white frock
the other night, the combination being
decidedly stunning. All expensive
shoes now are being made with more
pointed toes, the latest model being a
low blucher, with narrow leather
straps, and small buckle as a fasten-
ing instead OF tan laces.
The Dll Barry heel which is three in
ches high, is the sensation of the hour
in shoes. 1t is destined for house and
piazza, but it is worn for the street.
For the street. leather Is best But
for the house there are satin Shoes and
shoes Of thin unglazed kid. The Du
Barry is worked with beads on the in
step and the tongue is very tall and
much beaded.
The woman who gets up things her
self. inexpensively, can purchase pair
of French heeled shoes and have lifts
added to the heel until they are very
high indeed. Then she can bead the
toe and the tongue Thus she gets a
Du Barry cheap.
The oxford ties come in all materials
and are very neat; and one must have
white canvas Oxfords with white kid
tips. One can also be comfortable in
black canvas Oxfords with black kid
tips. The leather or kid tips hold the
shoe in shape.
The Colonial slipper" must be in
every outfit. 1t comes in various
weights. and one needs two pairs. One
should have the thin sole and the Gu
ban heel. This slipper is made Of pat
ent leather. It's tongue should be high,
and Jnere should be a bright buckle

New Shower Bow Sash

Among the newest and daintiest OF
the accessories Of summer frocks is the
shower bow sash. Soft, satin taffeta
is used to the best effect. The band
which goes around the waist may be
straight, or it may be shaped back or
front In the front, however, the ends
join little to one side, and here a
shower bow OF narrow satin ribbon is
fastened. A rose of ribbon loops Is the
foundation OF the bow and from this
hangs ends unequal in length, each
streamer being finished with tiny rib
bon or chiffon flowers.

Baltimore Girls Most Graceful

A globe trotter in speaking of the
way IN which women walk, announced
that without doubt the women Of Bal
timore had the most correct carriage

this will be another feather in her cap.

An old Verb.

To laze is an old verb. In Samuel
Rowlands' Martin Markall," 1910, we
nre told that "loyterers laze in the
Etreete lurke in alehouses and range
In the highwaies." The word occurs,
I believe, in some of Mortimer Collins
lyrics:
But Cupid lazeth 'mongst, the faiery iasses
Whose clere complexion ha oft sweareth

II small quantities Of butter, lard
and beef fat be separately boiled and
slowly cooled for, say, twenty-four
hours, the resulting crystals will show
very marked differences under the mi
croscope. The normal butter crystal is
large and globular. It Dolarizes bril-
liantly and shows a well marked st
Andrews cross. That Of lard shows a
stellar form, while that Of beef fat has
a foliated appearance. In course OF
time, as the butter loses its freshness
the globular crystal degenerates and
gradually merges into peculiar rosette-
like forms.

Surelssinl Lives

They may not shed a radiant light
Upon the human armament,
Nor fash a name that shall incite
Our wonder, like a meteor sent.
Above the crowd they may not rise
BY dint Of wealth or deed of fame
Nor lean upon the treasured glise
Ot some renowned ancestral name:
But somewhere, somewhere patiently.
BY quiet heroism led,
They live their lives day after day.
With hearts by selfish greed nee
fed.
AS true to hfe's best aims are they
AS is the needle to the star.

whose lives the most successful are
