YOUNG COLONEL IN DILEMMA
Ways of War Were a New Thing to
His Understanding.

At the Army and Navy club in
Washington a number of veteran Off
GERS were telling stories, when Gen.
Chaffee told this anecdote Of Gen.
Carr. who died in New York some
years ago:
1t appear that Gen. Carr, at the
outbreak of the civil war, had left
Troy to take command of a regiment.
The engagement in which, as colonel,
he first figured was at Big Bethel. His
regiment had been halted for rest
and r~efreshment in a pleasant place
and had not yet experienced the ex-
citement of a skirmish. 1t happened
however, that co~nfederates were in
ambush in the immediate neighbor-
hood and from a safe hiding place
they opened fire on the northerners.
Carr, so the story runs, instantly put
spurs to his horse and dashed up to
a group of officers. Excitement and
~bewilderment were apparent upon his
young face as he approached the
party.
"They are firing upon my regi-
ment!" he shouted. MY God! Now
what is to be done?'-Harper's
Weekly.

The Seven Ages of Woman.

A series of impromptu tableauX was
enacted in a hotel parlor the other
night, which was worthy of a far
larger audience, although the sum
realized for charity was a good one,
owing to the generosity of the appre-
ciative audience. The pictures shown
represented the seven ages of WON
an" first, Infancy" vas a real live
baby, hastily borrowed for the occa-
sion, with a real live angel bending
over it; the second scene, Child
hood" was modelled after Jessie Will
cox Smiths charming picture, called
THE First Love-" Then the School
girl came next, with books and slate;
"Maidenhood" showed a young girl
daintily gowned with a letter in her
lap and a box containing a diamond
ring; "Wifehood" and Motherhood
were followed by @Old Age"
Space forbids going into the details
of each scene, but it will be easy to
work the pictures out with very little
preparation. 1t is a simple matter to
have colored lights, and they will
greatly enhance the beauty of the pic
lures. If music is played very soft
ly during the scenes, it adds to the
pleasure in a marked manner, and
suitable selections may be found, such

Garments Easy to Remodel.

1t is gratifying to learn that never
has a seaso been more propitious
than the present to women trying to
solve the problem of dressing them
selves and their children smartly upon
a limited allowance. 1t so chances
that the newest fashions enable a
clever m to remodel her half
worn garments with great uccess
either with or without the aid of a
seamstress. New material may be re-
uuired to a certain extent in given in
stances, but in these days of trimming
applied in every conceivable style,
remnants bought when opportunity of
fered come in handy. 1t is a common
mistake to think a smart wardrobe is
necessarily a costly one. Oftener it's
smartness is due to good judgment in
purchasing materials and to frequent
~remodeling.

Alum Baking Powder ID wholesome,

Alum Baking Powder ID Wholesome.
DR.. Herman Reinbold, the expert
German chemist, in a recent official
report concerning Baking Powders,
declares that a pure alum baking pow.
der is better and less injurious than
the so-called cream OF tartar powders.
He says that If the quantity of alum
contained in a sufficient quantity of
baking powder for a batch OF bread or
cakes for an ordinary family, be con.
centrated to one mouthful of food,
and taken into the stomach of any
one person, no matter how delicate,
1t could do no harm. On the contrary,
alum is wholesome in proper quaint
ties. This is undoubtedly the reason
the State of Missouri quickly repealed
a law hat prohibited the manufacture
of the most wholesome Of all baking
powders. So much for Alum Baking
Powders.

to be constructed of the largest steel
plates in the world. They are silicon

A correspondent signing the initials
m. b." asks replies to the following
questions:
When n is entertaining a sister
and a cousin, and wishes to give a
luncheon in their honor, will the visit
ing card of the hostess be proper to
use for invitations, writing given for
Mrs. Blank and Mrs Jones" on it, with
the day and date?
Where should these guests be seat
ed at the table?
In returning the call of a young
lady whom you know, and have enter
tanned, should a card be left for her
mother whom you do not know, or
should just your card be left without
the husbands card?
Information on these subjects will
be much appreciated.
The visiting card is perfectly prop
err to use with the names of your
guests upon it, and your sister may
be seated at your right, the cousin
on your left at the table.
If you wish to call on the young
lady's mother, it will be right to do
so, asking for her and leaving a card;
on the other hand, you will be cor
rect in simply asking for your friend
and leaving your own card for her.

a mother Goose" Luncheon.

~ MOtICT aOCSC GAhSiSS's
A Mother Goose" luncheon is IN
deed an affair out of the ordinary. In
the invitations, which had quaint
little pen and ink sketches on them
| of Mother Goose in peaked hat and
a broom, ready to sweep the cobwebs
down from the sky" the guests were
requested to wear something to indi-
cate a character in the dear old
nursery rhymes. The centerpiece on
the table was an enormous pie with
a ribbon radiating to each plate, where
a little woolly lamb was tied to it.
The place cards had tiny spiders at
tached to them. Each guest was called
upon to recite the rhyme she repre-
| sented when she was correctly
guessed. This was the occasion of
much merriment.
When the dessert course was
brought in the hostess asked all to
pull their ribbons, and out of the
pie came all sorts Of birds. They
had been found at the favor counters,
and ELECTED much comment. There
is no telling what can be found until
YOU begin to look" said this indefatig-
able hostess, who is ever on the alert
for something new. The souvenirs.
which were a JOY to the guests. were
small Japanese teapots, bearing a cord
on which was written: Polly, put the
kettle on and we'll all drink tea"
A copy of Mother Goose for
grown folks was the prize of the per.
son who guessed the most characters.
1t was a very jolly party that depart
ed, and proved without doubt that we
are all only children of a larger
growth.
