nannel for extra warmth If the wear
er be chilly person. Here again lace
is the only trimming required. The
smart woman at the moment loves
these washing satins, especially for
night-gowns. Silk, satin and finest
linens are sparingly trimmed with
lace-tn many cases, indeed, no lace
at all is used, the trimming taking
the shape of fine hand work and
broad hemstitchings. There has been
an extraordinary change made of late

though occasionally entire deux OF
very fine Valenciennes lace are used.
Then l am told that, in their love OF
simplicity, few Parisians are even
wearing pyjamas. OF course, such
garments are practical, but they can
never be pretty, and do not seriously
deserve place among the lingerie of
the really chic woman. Three or four
seasons ago colored underwear was all
the rage-pale yellows, mauves, pinks
and blues, and even black being worn
in preference to white; but now the
craze is for the simplest of white
lingerie, and this seems to me the
acme of daintiness.
With many women the combination
is a necessary garment, either of silk.

idea to line your brocade petticoat

is wearing with her morning, tailor

bright contrasts of last season. This
is matter in which every woman
can exercise her individual taste.

ODD REMINDER OF WAR.
Box of Ammunition Dropped by sher-
man Just Comes to Light
in Indiana.

Sunday afternoon mill operator
named Hit, found near what is called
CRANKY ford, a large box eight by 12
feet in size lying in the mud near the
river bank. No one had ever seen the
box before, for the water has never been
SO low as now.
Hit pried the box out of the mud and
found that the lid was carefully screwed
down. He procured screwdriver and
opened the box and found that 1t was full
OF old-style leaden bullets, 56 caliber, and
designed for use in Spencer carbines and
rifles such as were used by the federal
soldiers during the civil war. There
was about rs rounds of these bullets in
the box, the paper caps having rotted
away from them, for some water had
entered the box despite the fact that the
lid was fastened so tightly.
1t is thought that these bullets must
have been dropped by Sherman's army
when fording the river or crossing ON
pontoons to come to Indianapolis in
1865. The federal forces carried Spencer
rifles. These bullets are indented at
the base and when they left the muzzle
fiared open and produced a dreadful
wound about an inch and half In diam

ODD RELIC or GEN. LEE.
Leader Ruled That stut-
tering Did Not Disqualify
as a Soldier.

Among the many valuable relics OF
the civil war now in the possession of
Capt Carter r. Bishop, cashier of the
National Bank of Petersburg, Va,
there is none thai he prizes as highly
as colored sheet of paper containing
a brief correspondence between Gen.
Lee and three of his officers as to the
fitness of Private Nelson Banes to
serve as a soldier in the confederate
army.
On November %, 1862, Surgeon John
physician Of Petersburg, gave the fol-
lowing certificate to Private Banes:
This Is to certify that l have at
tended Private Nelson Banes for some
time, and known him for some years.
He shutters very badly, and, l think,
makes a poor soldier, unfit for active
service"
Capt. E. B. Branch wrote this letter
to Gen. Smith, then stationed in Rich
mond:
"Quartermaster Department, Peters,
burg, Va, Nov. q, 1S62.-Respectfully
forwarded to Gen. G.. w. Smith, with
request that Private Nelson Banes,
company X, Fifth Virginia cavalry, be
detailed to serve as teamster of my
department. Surgeon Claiborne states
that he shutters very badly. He will.
however, answer as teamster."
These communications were then re-
ferred to Gen. Lee, whose headquar-
ters were at Fredericksburg. Gen.
Lee read the letters slowly, then, turn
the soiled sheets, he wrote on the
back:
Headquarters, Fredericksburg, Nov.
30, 1S62.-Respectfully forwarded dis
approved. A soldier requires few
words in the discharge of his duty.
"R. E. LEE, General"
Maj. Gen. S. G. French, with head
quarters at Petersburg, wrote to Mai.
Dawes to institute inquiry how this
came to be thus forwarded without ref
erence to his office. Maj. Dawes found
that there was no intention by Sur
geon Claiborne or Capt. Branch to
overstep the authority of superiors,
and so reported the matter to Gen.
French. This left the document in the
hands of Gen. French. At the close of
the war he gave 1t to his friend, Judge
w. T. Joynes, of the court of appeals.
Judge Joynes regarded the document
as one of his most valuable relics, and
at his death left it to his daughter,
Miss Anna Joynes, now Mrs. Joseph
B. Jones, of this city, who gave it to
Capt. Bishop.
At the last meeting Of the grand
camp OF this state the little document
was shown to few of the delegates,
all of whom were exceedingly anxious
to secure copy of it. This was not
allowed, and this is the first time the
public has seen copy, or has heard of
the existence Of the correspondence.

his sufferings. His name, he said, was
Arthur Perry, his home in Ohio, his
mother widow. The child said:
Sometimes l was so cold and hungry
that l thought would never see home
again, but l will; won't l, lieutenant?
| assured him that he would, and after
giving him clean pair of blankets l
departed. The next morning l called
again, and he seemed much better. He
said he was captured and wounded while
with an ammunition train. He talked
freely of home and mother in the early
part of the day, but the latter part OF
the day he became reticent and did not
seem aware of my presence, and he said,
in tones that almost broke my heart: I
know what it means now, lieutenant; I
shall never see mother again." He
begged me to take him in my arms, which
did, and there, in the deep twilight.
with one arm around my neck and the
other over my shoulder, the brave little
fellow was summoned to the better home

Point d'esprit is a suitable and lovely

lowish net seen nowadays on the high
priced waists shown at the stores. But
perhaps best of all is very sheer muslin

hand-work. Whatever is selected, re-
member these white affairs will need
frequent laundering, as all their beauty
depends on their giving an exquisite
finish to the toilet, for this cannot
be done when they are in the least

Trimmed sleeves as well as full sleeves
are favored, but be careful not to have
these so elaborate that they will be fussy
and detract from elegance. One shown
in the illustration Is comparatively SIM
pie and yet adapted to the caprice of the
moment. The velvet band and lace frill,
as well as the design of the sleeve, make
it appropriate only for afternoon or
evening wear.
Short sleeves are very much the thing,
but generally are an expensive luxury,
requiring long gloves. Still, the upder-

morning: L suppose you have to pay
her enormous wages, but really, she
would be cheap at any price
John spoke up then. Mother he
said, we pay that girl four dollars a
week. When she came into the house
three months ago she was, honestly, the
most raw, awkward, untidy piece OF hu-
manity that ever wore petticoats, but
Anne took her in hand and trained her.
She could train anything. really be-
lieve she will train me in time
IL looked at her-at Anne, mean
and was reluctantly compelled to be-
lieve that John spoke the truth.
Heavens! If could only get her to train
my Matilda!"
Matilda seems to do very well, said
the guest, looking around the pretty
little room
"It's very kind Of you to say so. You
always were nice, Clara; but l own
should tremble If Anne should come and
see the way things aren't busted. II
she does, and gives me notice enough,
I'm going to have the house burn down
for purposes Of explanation and engage
a nice suite of apartments at a hotel to
entertain her In. My dear, l haven't
told you half 1 was telling her about
some of Johns little baby ways"
"Aha!" interrupted the friend.
WELL" said Mrs. Stranson, in some
confusion, II really had to in self-de-
fense. She was telling me Of his pres
ent-day peculiarities, Just as II didn't
know them as we'll as she did, because
he had been away from me in California
for Is years; so had to go back to early
history where she might be presumed to
be ignorant. But no."
you don't mean to say that she pre-
tended to know John as baby?"
mot exactly that. But she knew so
much about babies in general. was
stricken speechless. She knew the ca
pacity of their little tummies at varying
ages; their normal weight; the effect OF
peppermint, catnlp, limewater, pare
goric and the rest OF it; the ages al
which the blessed darlings are first con-
scious Of touch, hearing, taste, sight and
smell, and-oh, there wasn't anything
she didn't know about them!
"My love, said, where on earth did
you learn this?'
"She explained that she had attended
lectures on the subject, and had had two
younger sisters. l suppose some day
shall be a grandmamma. l don't sup
pose in that event shall be trusted with
my own grandchild. She means very
we'll, though. am sure of that"
"At the same time l think it was de-
cidedly sweet and filial of John to make
you that nice, long visit when he was
passing through. Most busy men would
have put their mothers off with a day
or two, at most. He stayed week,
didn't he?"
Mrs. Stranson sighed. Yes" she re-
piled, "he stayed week. 1t seemed
very good to have the dear boy all to
myself for awhile. I'm afraid his wife
has spoiled him. You know at that
