THE MANFROM BOLIVAR

of gallant Robert A. Smith, doom

boys, bright with ribbons and
rosy with smiles. joined the merry
maklng-they who in after years
became the black-robsd women
OF the Coniederacy. mourning in
grim tipped silence the lads who
lay unburied on Nirginia's bait
tlefields.
But the watchers Of that day
have forgot a frail. trim bull,
child with high bred sensitive
face, and keen black eyes full OF
tears, who stood ciose beside the
departing company. His small
heart Uurst with bitterness be-
cause ne was too young TO join
his kinsnen. Poor little lad, he

and has never forgot him. In a
recent letter he wrote this to a
friend:

who served his State and section

that which every true soldier and
honest man feels when he has
done his duty"
Then little Charley followed the
fortunes Of Gen Forrest, that Wiz

The boy grew, as boys have a

Thenceforward he took a mans

He sprang like 4 bird over the

Yankee battery all by yourself"
The other men laughed; he was
ashamed.

WHAT FURs ARE MOST WORN.

some excellent opportunities for bar
gains in furs. and just as soon as the
weather begins to be severely cold the
price bounds up again.

costly they are. One of the newest
models is a fascinating kimono- shaped

RIBBON ODDS AND ENDS.

A use has been found for the little
odds and ends of ribbon.
They are now used for tom thumb
sachets, which are just the thing for
luncheon favors and for pinning to
ones frock to impart a delicate fra
GRANGE.
The tiny pockets which contain the
sachet powders are about an inch
square and sewed to the ribbon.
The ends Of the ribbon are brought
forward to cover the bag, and are
shaped to form a dainty flower.

in hands depends the kind Of flower to
be made.

AMERICAN WOMEN
IN ENGLISH EYES.
selfish, Grabbing, Sour" Says Critic
''World Finding Them Out"


II you are getting the least bit vain,
girls. and have an idea that American
women are just a little better than any
other women. do listen To this haran-
que. II come from an English woman
who Is supposed to be a keen observer.
It almost seems as If some captivating
American girl must have run OF with
her pet noglewoman.
The American woman is visable q
long way OF. Indeed she is visible the
minute you set eyes upon her She
can be picked ont OF a multitude. She
makes gestures and they are not al
ways soft ones either. She shakes her
forehnger which she considers a naive
thing to do, She losses her head. which
is a sign OF hauteur in her own esti-
nation. And she waves her arms,
shrugs her shoulders and makes the
widest of motions with her hands
which. by the way. are never quite
stin
The American woman wears uni
form. She thinks she dresses Well
But she is mistaken upon that point
Her dress is a shirt waist and a sepa-
rate skirt and she clings to it re-
igiously. One a week she puts on a
Paris creation, but she feels and
| looks uncomfortable in it. She loves
to wear a shirt waist. and she IS
usually CARRIED in one. Il fits badly,
looks untidy, is stifly starched and It
does not always meet the skirt
squarely. But. never mind. it is an
! independent way to dress. And. above
all things. the American woman de-
lights in her independence.
The American woman is supposed
to be renowned as the original of the
famous Gibson pictures. In every
boudoir-yes. and in every picture
gallery-that is the Gibson girl. And
the American woman points to the tall
proud svelte young person and de-
cIares that It is herself. But she is
mistaken The Gibson girl is an
English woman.
Il will not describe her manners
She is too dressed up to think of any
one but herself. She is selfish. grab
bling. scowling and sour. She does not
deserve one-tenth of her reputation
for cleverness and not one particle
of her reputation for beauty. Yet sh,
has plenty of both. Or she had. Bu
the world is fast finding out abou
her.-Boston Herald.

IL FURs GET WET.

Do not worry If your furs get wet.
The animals which they originally COW
cred We're frequently caught out in the
rain But do not try TO dry them ex-
cept by a shake to remove the mois-
ture. Then hang them up and leave
them. Nearly all the furs are moisten-
ed before they leave the store to give
them gloss and lustre when they
reach their purchasers The curled
furs. such as the Persian lamb, are
sprayed. 1t wants a person who un-
derstands the business to do this, how
ever, for If the skin back of the fur Is
dampened 1t is likely TO shrink
