be told as memorial" of such as these. Vive la Memorial Association!
 DO not, pray thee. comrade, forget them! ASK them to meet and greet the men who were youths when they were maidens fair. The Daughters are all right, they are ours, just as the Sons are yours. Let them be honored; let them emulate the virtues of nobe moth CTS. The sponsors are their lovely de- scendants, let them increase their love Illness by deep and thender reverence for their elders in a cause which comes down to them as a sacred trust for their children's children. We would preserve memories of that revival of chivalry which left a white path across the nineteenth century. The memorial women are close comrades of the Knights in Grey. Our next meeting Is the first Monday in November. I would like to read your letter then. This Is written as a friend and com rade.

 Secretary Ladies' Memorial Associa-
 tion. Montgomery, Ala:
 Dear Mrs. Ockenden-In reply to your letter of the 23rd inst,I deepy regret to note that the ladies of your association have taken exceptions to what you term the call for the reunion of the United Confederate veretans. I presume you refer to General Order No. 3. issued from Division Headquarters on October IS, 1904.
 In justice to my adjutant general l and chief of staff, who prepared this or- der, beg to call your attention to the later clause therein as follows to-wit, 'The United Daughters of the Confed- eracy, Sons of Veterans, and mem bers of kindred organizations are es- pecially included in this invitation ' Although I have had no opportunity to confer with Colonel Harvey E. Jones | my adjutant general, since the prep aration and promulgation of this order am confident that he intended to in clude your organization. And while perhaps 1t would have been more ap- propriate to have put the mothers first think you will agree with me that if the mother is kin to the daughter, sc must the ladies of the Memorial Asso- | citation be of kin to the Daughters of the Confectionery and therefore were in cluded in the invitation as extended But to remove any doubt on the ques- tion and being anxious as we always are to have your association with us and fully endorsing all that you so elo- quently say of the noble women that constitute your association I now beg to extend to each and all of You an In vitation to meet us at Mobile on the 18th and 18th of November and to as- sure you that the men who were youths when you were maidens fair will not only never forget you, but al ways greet and honor you as the nob- lest specimens of womanhood that any country ever produced.
 Very cordially yours. George P. Harrison.

Old Game Of Tit for Tat.

The conductor was talking to the mo-
torman, both looking.ahead, as the car
bewled merrily on. A woman standing
in the rear seats motioned in vain for a
stop. =
ssHey," shouted man in golf clothes
and tourists cap, "this lady wants to get
OFF,"
Another twist of the lever and the car
ran with greater speed.
.sOh, dear, dear~ exclaimed the woman.
This remark was not especially address
( ed to the man in the tourists cap, but he
thought it was. Jumping from his seat
8 he grabbed the leather cord nearest him
and yanked it yiciously five times.
aWho did that?" asked the conductor
! savagely.
s es1 did," yelled the man. "rll teach you
to run past streets without paying atten-
ton to your passengers"
IS ..And I'll teach you to ring up fares
without paying me-" retorted the conduc-
! tor. "That bit of exercise will cost you
25 cents"
'Take it, scornfully remarked the man
in the tourists cap, handing over coin.
The conductor gave him o quarter in
change and did not discover until he CASH
ed in at the end of the run that he had
6 been taking bad money.-New York Press.

Helpful (s) Hints.

The following were CLEANED from the
leading fashion magazines:
Sleeves are to be extremely large.
s. The best models have very tight sleeves.
Fashionable bodices all run to a point.
The pointed bodice is very little seen.
Trains are things Of the past.
All the new Paris gowns have sweep
ing trains.
Everything except evening dresses are
made with short skirt.
The short skirt is tabooed except for
morning.
Smart hats have high crowns and roll
ing brims.
The elect will adopt high-crowned hats
with extreme caution.
Have bit of yellow about you, ii you
would be modish.
Eschew the too popular yellow fad.
The separate waist is entirely out of it.
No wardrobe is complete without a
dozen separate waists.
Red is the leading hue.
No color stands so high in favor as
brown.

latter title is considered the more
honorable. If there are several daugh-

marrying, as Mrs. of the house of
