All this adulation has turned her head Peo-

sombre, inconspicuous dress. When the Amer
lean woman goes to church, however, she goes
for no such reason, She may insist upon her
piety, and get very much insulted when you
presume to doubt it, but all you have to do IN
order to convince yourself is to take note OF
the clothes she wears. The American woman
goes to church very largely for the purpose OF
showing herself Oh.
Whenever she gets new hat, she puts it
away until Sunday, and then, arrayed in 1t TOR

them within range OF tho guns Of Fort

site for this fortress would be on what are

water is shoal, but there is no land above
the tide, and, therefore, the government
must dump stone into the bottom OF the

fort, at the entrance to Hampton Roads,
