were immolated upon the altar of our country. The book is dedicated to the Daughters of the Confederaoy; and very appropriately so, since 1t commentaries the ideal heroism of southern woman- hood-the brave women who were an in- spiration to the tattered, half-starved soldiers of the Host cause" and who have left to us such a sacred heritage of consecrated memories.
 The story of love and pathos in which tragedy and romance are interwoven Is narrated in a simple unaffected style that wins all readers. Young and old pro- nounce the "Princess' an enchanting novel. It is written in the first person. and there is charm in the naive and lovable Vlolets diction that appeals to all hearts. Many readers give the young CT sister precedence over the Princess prefering Violet's imperuous nature to the calm self,poise of Elsie. With un- faltering courage these brave girls re- main at Glenndale, refuse to flee with the refugees seeking safety further south as the country Is invaded by a merciless foe-remain to render all possible as- sistance to the southern army--remain to see their slaves driven off, and all Glenn dale made desolate
 The four years pass. the heart breaking climax is reached, when news is brought of Lees surrender Then the soldiers come home. In this bitter hour of defeat what was there to recall the proud arr mics that had marched away from a happy, prosperous land to win the vic- tory on many a hard fought field-untll overcome by overwhelming numbers They return at last to ashes, desola tion but no despair For beneath blue southern skies they recall the indomitable spirit of one who imprisoned far away wore his shacldes for his people,"
 Violet and her sister. Princess Elsie, suffered during those four years. It is impossible not to sympathize with them; and the readers heart throbs with tu- multuous emotions as he realizes that this absorbing story gives but a kaleido- scopic view of what our fair southland endured during those days that tried mems souls-days of such matchless he- roism as history has never yet recorded; but the fame of which is perpetuated by monuments of marble and bronze dottlng our landscape from the Potomac to the blue Mexico sea. and the memory of which Is cherished by the Daughters who with passing years have heaped the nameless graves of the soldier in grey with immortelles.

LEAVES RECEIPT IN BOX. Postmaster General Makes New Ruling About Rural Mail Delivery.

Washington, February 9.-Third Assis- tant Postmaster General Madden has is- sued a manual of instructions for the conduct of registry business in the rural free delivery service. The most impor- tant innovation provides for the reglstra- ton of letters and parcels left in the rural mall boxes, the carrier leaving the senders receipt in the box. Formerly it was necessary for the sender to meet the carrier on the route.
 Rural carriers also are required to ac- cept for registration mail matters proper ly prepared and offered by any one that meets them while on duty whether a pa- tron of the rural free delivery service or not
 Storekeepers on rural routes customarily receive the mail matter of their patrons, delivering to them at the first opportun- ity Registered mail has not been dellv- cred in this manner in the past, but 1t is now provided that on the written order, which the addressees are required to leave for the delivery of their mail to the storekeeper, registered mail also will be delivered, except such as indorsed by the senders-"deliver to addressee only"
