TpE GAME OF WAR.

One day while Federal and Confeder-
ate were playing at the game of war in
the Shenandoah valley, General Early
made his way on foot along the crest
OF Massinutton mountain until ne coQld
IoDok down into the Federal camp. He
could count the guns, note the defense
and get the lay of the ground Gear
creek ran along the base OF the noun
tain. and Early determined to march an
army along the banks OF the creek.
sTSbeTe was not even a hunters trail. fsfld
the side of the mountain was dease
with timber and underbrush. while the
march must be made under cover of
darkness.
All difficulties were overcome, how
ever thousands of men entered the
forest at shutdown and made their way
along foot by foot as silently as possible
and without a single light to guide
them, and early morning found them
drawn up in battle lines in front OF
Crooks division.
Shortly before daylight a heavy mist
rose from the ground, and this was a
lucky thing for Early Had it been
otherwise the first signs of dawn must
have revealed his presence. Under COW
er Of the mist he advanced his lines
nearer and nearer, until at one spot his
men could hear the F'ederals talking to
each other in their tents as they woke
from sleep. A few blue-coats were stir
ring about and rebuilding the camp
Ares when there was a sudden crash of
musketry all along the front, and next
moment the Confederate lines of battle
were sweeping through the camps
There was no panic in Crooks COM
mand. It was surprise instead of panic.
Every Confederate looked to be man
seven feet tall in that mist. and their
advent was too sudden to create d
panic There was a rush for the rear
as fast as men could roll out of their
tents Not one in ten was fully dressed,
and not one in twenty had carbine or
sabre with him as he retreated. 1t was
like a crowd rushing across the street
to get out of the way of topping wall
or a mob falling back before the firm
front of the militia. Crooks camps
were cleared in ten minutes. The Con-
federates did very little firing after the
first two or three volleys. They cap
tured men instead of shooting them
down. AS they got possession Of the
artillery, however, they opened on all
the camps in rear, and by this time the
Rugitives had penetrated everywhere
and sowed the seeds of panic.

HATSIN MEXICO.
Government Officials Have Discarded
Sombreros for Silk Hats.

Among all well-bred people in Mexi-
co great attention is paid to the hat of
the masculine visitor That emblem of
grandeeship, as Richard Ford called it,
is taken at once and carefully placed
on a chair quite as if it were a person.
It must be treated with respect. A
table is also a proper place for it, but
a chair is better.
Especially is the top hat distinguish
ed in etiquette; it implies that the
wearer is a real senior, q. true caballero.
and it is honored with careful treat
.ment. See that it is allowed to repose
on a chair safe from casual knocks or
jars. It is an emblem of social rank,
and lawyers often wear it from morn
ing till night.
The sombrero de paja, or straw hat,
may be of many degrees of ffneness.
Sometimes it has a gold or silver cord,
and is worn by we1l-to-do rancheros
or great haciendadoS on proper oc-
country, and formerly in the city, wore
handsome sombreros. The sombr of
felt, with its ornaments, may cost any
where from $40 to $1,000. 1t is the gala
hat for horseback on days of fiestas.
and in the country regions is affected
by the prosperous. Remember that the
hat in any form is something to re-
spect. 1t is taken off as a sign of re-
gard and Difference, or of mere cour-
tesy.
sian hat of the low crown and broad
brin, the hat of the bullfighter on the
street, where he receives the homage
of the adniring populace, especially OF
the small boy It has it's eDoehs OF
coming into quite general use, and is
far more picturesque than the staid and
trim derby. The latter hat is much
affected by the city youth of Mexico
but it is foreign, alien and an exotic
1t is ridiculous when worn on horse
back under the ardent sun of Mexico
or Andalusia.
In old times Mexicans as we'll as
Spaniards of social rank wore the
cooked hat, irnmortalized in Alarcon's
story of the '-Sombrero de Teres Pleos. -
The three-cOrnered hat, properly
speaking, affected by people in times
agone, was called the "sombrero de
tres CANDLES"
Boys of the lower classes wear cheap
straw sombreros to school, and the
marvel is that they ever distinguish
them, for they are as much alike as
peas in a pod.
But to return to our muttons, so to
say, the hat is a symbol of grandee-
ship. It is nowadays the tall hat, the
topper, the silk hat, the stOvepipe, OF
what you will. "Gobernadores' wear it.
Senators and deputies and lawyers, OF
course, though in Mexican cities the
younger lawyers affect jaunty straw
hats in warm weather and often der
bies.
The grandees of the first class of
Spain have the privilege of remaining
covered in the presence of their SOW
ereign, and the other day the young
King Alfonso, receiving q party of no.
blemen of high degree, who approach
ed him uncovered, said, after mo-
ment, Cover yourselves, senors, which
is the ancient etiquette. Thus the ha.
plays in Spanish tradition and actual
life a ceremonial part differing from
usage in Anglo-Saxon counties.-Mod-
ern Mexico.

Is WOMAN EXTRAYAGANT?
rhe Question Answered Emphatically
by q Defender of Her Sex.

Is Woman Extravagant?" is the SUBJ
Ject of an interesting symposium in the
January HouSekeeper. One writer says:
Yes, with her love, her tender care ton
and consideration, woman is extravagant.
If she really loves her husband and knows
that he returns and appreciates her love,
there is no limit to her extravaganza. All
health, strength, ambitiOn-al is laid on
the altar, and her happiness is complete.
But extravagant with money, as a class,
no. Although there are exceptions, it will
be found that the extravagant women are
the ones who have never had the real
value of money brought home to them.
Lock at the great army of Self-SuppOFt-
ing women, careful, saving, frugal. Not
calling them extravag giant. AS for the wo-
man safely sheltered in her home with
a strong masculine arm between her and
the world, If she spends money more free
ly than she should nine times out of ten
it is because she does not know what the
limit should be, and not because of an
extravag CANT nature. Look into the homes
you know and see if you can find wo-
man, who, if her husband would deal
honestly and fairly with her, tell her the
amount she might with impunity spend,
would not be willing and glad to keep
within this limit We are of the belief
that the distinguished Franchman has
1 failed to take some important points re-
| garding dress into consideration, or else
| he is ignorant of them. The initial cost of
mems clothing equals, even if it does not
! exceed. the first cost of WOmen'S ward
robe, and when mems clothes become
! worn or out of date, they are laid aside.
but womans are turned and made oyer
| and finished with a hounce disguised
with lace. What does a Frenchman know
| about the resourcefulnesS of the Ameri-
can woman, anyway?
