TIE NEW SPRING HATS

Hats which tilt far ovcr the face are
am d & tie spring novelties. They arr
trimmed with u quantity Of small
spring flowers and many colors are
used in making them attractive.
The long chiffon streamer is quite
the thing, and there are very few bats
turned out this season which are to
be worn for evening wear which do
not take on IN air Of staginess.
Tie San Toy is a popular shape and
this looks we'll on women of medium
age. Large COWS of Dresden ribbon

Hats off the face are passe. The
p~ompadour is n thing of the pas. and
SO is the hat.
The large hat has been replaced by
the small one. Women have taken
readily to tie change and are content
to be once more comfortable.

trimming are used, and the Paradise
bird is quite a feature again.
To match the frocks Of 1880, the
hats are indeed simple. They are de

Of simple flowers or spring blossoms.
Blue and violet are again an attrac-

GREAT WASHINGTON,
Anecdotes illustrating Eis Nobility
and Loyalty and a Glimpse of His
Kindness in Private Life.

An article in Peterson's Magazine re.
fers to the interesting event in Wash.
irgton's life when he declined to be made
king.
When Washington was offered the
crown in 1882, the federative system OF
government had been tried for seven
years and its operation had o COM
mended it to popular sanction.
Happily for America. and for man
kind. Washington would not stoop to
take the proffered diadem, and no kingly
crown throws its baleful shadow upon
the halo that encircles his serene brow.
The scepter of royalty that he declined to
WELD no other man would dare to grasp.
The writer goes on 10 say that while
s%oiourning in Geneva, Switzerland. in
1891, he was selected by the American
colony in that beautiful city to deliver an
Grafton on the Fuorth of July al a ban
quet given in honor Of the day. 1t was

would show all who saw his signature
that he was proud Of lis home town.
Let every man do what he can to

pend the same energy in doing some
thing for their city that they expsnd
in deploring its ills, real or imaginary,

people do not take d personal pride in

the tendency of Paterson people TO de.
cry their city and the injury the city
had sustained because OF their un
called for remarks.

Joseph Levan, for many years Sum

about 1890 o'clock, aged rs years.
He had had been quite feeble for sew
eral years and for that reason had
been unable to follow his trade.
An of the older residents of Sumter
knew him well and he had their
friendship and respect throughout his
life. He went to Virginia with the first
company that was sent out from Sum
ter at the beginning Of the war and as
the body servant Of the late Henry
w. Gardner, he remained with the
army during the greater part Of the
war. After the war during the recon-
struction period he was a staunch
Democrat and voted for Hampton
in 1876, and to the day Of his death
was a loyal Democrat. He was cour-
teous, but not subservent IN manner
cad had as much natural dignity as
any negro the writer has ever knowl-
He respected himself and had the re-
spect Of all who knew him. His death
is regretted by his many friends, and
it leaves vacancy in the ranks CT the
old citizenship of Sumter. He will be
missed by the veterans Of the Lost
Cause and future reunions will be in
complete without his presence.
