Mrs. sloane's Luxur,ou. Hobby.

Women have their pet colors and
their pet furs, but few have their ia.
vorite materials, as Mrs. VIM. Sloane,
who,rarely orders a.gown unless. it be
Of velvet, except, of course, in summer,
when she is literally forced into dain.
tier clothes. At all other seasons,
even in the morning, she wears the
richest of velvet gowns. Her evening
'frocks are invariably velvet, and even
when duchess satin was the rage and
velvets were tabooed entirely, Mrs.
Sloane persisted in her wearing of the
questionable goods. She was one Of
the first of the New York women to
succumb to the panne velvet fad, and
when, three years ago, she appeared
on the avenue in a gown Of the
crushed looking velvet, she caused
genuine stir. AS for color, Mrs. Sloane
seems to prefer golden brown or the
deeper shades OF blue. She dresses
quietly, but with certain taste and
richness that only generations of
wealth or else the worlds greatest
cressmakers can impart. New York

uneducated man and belonged to that
prescribed class in the south known
as poor whites" Moreover he was still
further handicapped in any effort to
stand on an equality with men Of post

But by native force and by genius for
action this unlettered man became the
most successful cavalry leader in the

been made lieutenant colonel In this
capacity he proved that he could move

indeed, that he ever read many books
of any kind. He was essentially man

a half years he kept the federal com.
manders guessing as to where he was
and what he was going to do next. To-

wonderful capacity was appreciated in
Richmond, and he was made lieu

1t was too late, however, for him to
do much. Hoods army had been all but
destroyed before Nashville. Sherman
was marching through Georgia, and
