Shortly after the wedding, Lieutenant
Graham was promoted to a captaincy,
and at the outbreak of the Mexican war

husband and wife saw nothing of each

Mrs. Graham suffered all the pangs and
fears and heartaches that make war as

three years in the army, but his delicate

childless and heartbroken.

though each is little different and
may have some advantage Of its own
over the others.
The style that leads in favor of boys
wear is that Of the trousers that coma
high up under the arms and are strap
ped over the shoulders with suspend
ers. The legs come down to the ankles,
making the garment over almost all, in
deed. Suits of this kind made of dark
blue denim can be touched with bright
red in the binding at the top and turn
over pieces at the top of the pockets at
each side.
The Russian blouse style has trousers
that come to the waist and loose shirt
hanging over them almost to the knee
This is belted in around the waist. Lin
coin green chambray is a favorite color
and stuff for little suits of this cut
All the Brownie suits have trousers
as the main part of the garment. Even
those made for girls are fashioned ia
this way. Some are made high and
gathered on to a short waist that would
be called empire length in a garment for
grown-ups. Others are made to button
on to waists that come down as far as
the waist line.
The princess style of overall, with long
sleeves gathered in at the wrists land
the trouser ends gathered at the ankles
making veritable little clown of the
wearer, are. perhaps, the best and most
practical for either boys or girls A set

She who signs for an embroidered
shirt waist suit yet does not care to
pay the price usually asked in the stores
for this rather expensive article OF
dress, can have a prettily ornamented
frock of the kind by embroidering sew
eral rows of disks around the bottom OF

row little smaller as they go UP. The
same plan can be pursued with the
blouse, making the disks either at the
top or bottom as desired. and working

of men, the tantalizing mysterious be-
ings of our grandfathers' time.
They are no longer carefully secluded
and met with difficulty. So many women
and girls are doing mems work nova
days. and custom allows them such
liberty of movement and speech-such a
parallel position with men, in fact-that
there seems no logic in prolonging the
period of courtship beyond the day OF be-

This is plainly the attitude of the
young lover of today. after he has
secured the promise of the girl of his
choice He does not always show the
alacrity he might in asking her out
when she wants to go. In society he
seems to feel as much pleasure in other
girls company as in hers, and when she
writes to him he leaves her letters I'M

long time.
Now, if the girl who is engaged to him
really cares for him, it goes without
saying that this style of conduct both
grieyes and hurts her She feels sure
that his love for her is going; she tor
ments herself with wondering what she
can possibly have done to make him
change SO in his feelings toward her,
and she spends many miserable hour
in doubts and fears and questionings.
Sometimes her patience gives way; she
upbraids him with his neglect and un-

1t seems as if good deal of the blame
for this rests on the woman Where
women show men what treatment they
expect, men are always ready to shape
themselves to il. The lack of politness
in men toward women. which is so bit
terly complained of, has its rise only

men see that they no longer expect or

She should begin by showing her lover
that she expects attention and considera-
ton. She should take his devotion as a
matter of course, and let him see that
she counts upon it, and would be amazed
TO find it fail. She should never be
exigent, and never demand too much, or

pleasures that she cannot share. But
she should take it for granted that If he

society as he can get, and will seek 10

This can be impressed on him so quietly
and gently that it will have the effect
of a natural sentiment on his own part,
rot one that has been suggested 10 him

all admit of laundering over and over,

One pretty model for a graduates
dress is made of Persian lawn, with a
five gored skirt having three graduated
shirred ruffies at the bottom. These run
from three inches in width at the front
to five at the back. The skirt has a
slight dip at the back and is very grace
full. The chief trimming on the waist is
pulled yoke, below which is q bertha
of Valenciennes lace. Massing the lace
in one place on the dress gives unique

Another model, showing the popular

made with a wide gathered founce on
the bottom. Down each seam in the
skirt runs row Of silk medallions, the

Many of these ribbons wash like a

been worn until its usefulness as a dress

The new skirts are greatly varied In
style this year. Flounced. plated and
shirred skirts are all worn. The newest

| LITTLE over sixty-two years ago

A LITTLE over sixty-two years ago
a in the quaint Episcopal Church
at ST. Augustine, Fla, Miss
Julia Hutchinson became the wife of
Lieut.. L. B. Graham. one of the bright
est and most popular young officers in
the United States army. Today she and
her husband. now a general, are enjoying
the best of health, and looking back with
f6ndest recollections on their long jour
ney through life together.
When a girl, Miss Hutchinson lived
in Waterfowl, Jefferson county, n. Y.
To recover health and strength after 4
severe illness, she went to the beautiful
Southern city of st. Augustine, famed
for its beautiful women, picturesque
breakwater and palmetto, and at once
was accorded the homage which she
had enjoyed as the belle of her Northern
home. In the North, she had been wooel
by nearly all the eligible young men of
that part of the country, but had refused

yet she was regarded as the most capri
cious and thoroughly tantalizing young
woman Whereabouts
In St. Augustine, however, there was
presented to her young officer whom
she felt to be the mate for which her
soul had been seeking. 1t was not long
before the young army officer had ia
ken the fort which his Northern broth
ers had stormed in vain, and the blush
ing maid found not only health and
strength, but happiness, too, in the an
cient little town.

with romance, and heightened by the

girls dressed Cat commencement, said,
''Oh, they were all dressed alike-aIl

cause the dresses were all white, he
thought they were all alike. The girls
would have probably rebeIled at the crit

The prevalence of net and other sheer
and open fabrics in many Of the newest
dresses designed for summer wear this
season would make it reasonable TO
suppose that there would be a number Of
this style seen upon the platform in
June. Dresses of net are being made
over silk foundations, and are construct
ed with many rows of gathers. Wide
faring skirts, with gagged yokes and
several rows of shirring on the way to-
ward the bottom, are generally popular

way to use them is by putting on four

with narrow huting Of bright colored
chiffon, say blue, pink or green. This
gives tiny thread of color at the bot
tom of the lace that is very attractive.
The cost of net dress can be re-
duced very much by making it UP over

gives less trouble to make than any
other, as the skirt is always finished
except sewing up the back seams and
putting on the waistband. A strip of
trimming TO match that of the skirt
is what comes for the waist of the robe
dress.
The work of making the popular In

can be made both wide or narrow, and
many colored beads are used in their
makeup. Particularly pretty ones are
produced by the use of black, white and
turquoise beads. The narrowest guards
can be woven quite readily by following

These waists should be made with a

Effects Easily Changed.
The effect of these two waists can be
changed many times by varying the col

white linen stock and belt, both made
with tab epds, are equally appropriate.
The stock should be worn with a turn
over of hand embroidered linen, using,
for instance, wild strawberries in their
natural color for the embroidered de-
sign and having the same design worked
on the tab ends of both the stock and
the belt. These ends will look well if
drawn through a good sized cotton ring,

Another of the waists must certainly
be of pongee, for there are times when
a cool silk waist of this sort is simply
