so it was. It had a bolero of the old
rose material made very tight fitting
and edged with soiled narrow ecru ap-
plique. There was an underblouse of
soiled ecru lace, and the sleeves, very
tight, with short shoulder seams, were
long, with tiny puffs of lace. A more

would be hard to find. The only re-
deerning point lay in the wide belt of

Calumet place, Washington, and her
social circle is a distinguished one.
The widow of the Confederate General
Thomas J. Jackson. the famous Stone
wall jackson of the civil war; is yet
living, greatly loved and revered. A
reception was given to her some time
ago in New Orleans. at which were
present Confederate veterans and Con-
federate veterans descendants from all
over the south. She spends her sum-
mers at Lexington, Va, where her hua-
bands grave is.
Mrs. Jackson was Mary Anna Nor
rison. the second wife of her husband.
She was a North Carolina girl. Presi-
dent Mckinley did a graceful act in
appointing her postmistress of the lit
tie town where her family lived in her
youth. Mrs. Jackson had two daugh-
ters. One died in childhood; the other,
Julia, lived to womanhood. She mar
ried a Mr.. Christian and was the
mother of two children; then she. too,
passed away. These two children of
Mrs. Christian are thus the only living
descendants Of Stonewall jackson.

I know of a woman who might have
had a splendid career, but she weight
ed herself down with useless friends
and dwarfed her splendid mind by as
sociating with ordinary semistupidity.

After a half hours deep thought and
some runmaging in a scrap bag this is
how the Objectionable bodice was
transformed q thought some of you
would like to hear about it in order
that you might treat some old waist
in similar fashion,:
First, she took the belt and, ripping
the upper half, pulled it out wider so
that it covered the lower edge of the
bolero, with its Objectionable trim
ming. She pulled up the belt in the
center of the back a trif1e higher than
anywhere else because that made the
waist look smaller, and for the same
reason she sewed two rows of three
steel buttons so that they formed a V
shaped figure in the center of the cir
die. Next she ripped off the puffs, and
that left three quarter or practically
an elbow length sleeve, with the out
side seam longer than the inside one.
This sleeve she slashed up to the ell
bow and filed in with a full ruff1e of
ecru lace. It required yard and a
half for each sleeve. She took from
one of her summer gowns a wide lace
collar and put it over the rest of the
waist, leaving it a tiny bit open in the
front and joining it by a fancy knot
ted tie of black velvet. The gown is
now one of the prettiest she has.
