A southern lady, in a diary which
she kept throughout the Civil war,
tells of bonnet which she made and
which was regarded as quite stun
ming" The author OF Dixie After
the War" quotes from the diary as
follows: 1--WE had been wearing
coalscuttle bonnets OF planted straw
trimmed with cornshpck rosettes. I
made 10 one spring. acquired a fine
name as a milliner and was paid for
my work. recall one that was quite
stunning. ! got hold of q bit OF
much worn ribbon white and dyed
into exquisite shades of green with
tea made OF coffee berries. Coffee
berries dye a lovely green; you
might remember that II you are even
IN war and blockaded. When the
northern bellies appeared on the
streets OF Richmond they did not
seem TO have on any bonnets at all
They were tiny. three cornered af-
fairs, tied on with narrow strings,
and all their hair showing In the
back. We thought them the most
absurd things. But we made haste
TO get some. The Yankees intro
duced some new fashions in other
things besides clothes. that I remem-

the Yankees came. Pleasant inno-
vations In food were like TO leave
lasting impressions on one who had

New York probably never before
was so dirty as when she came out
of the snow drifts of the month.
There has been an unprecedented
number OF snowstorms We have had
this season. one succeeding another,
so that the streets had no sooner said
farewell than another dropped It's
burden upon an unswept street. The
snow was not reRpyed very fast and
gatherd filth and 'blackness, especial
ly after Il had been piled mp in heaps
ready for the carts, which were very
tardy In coming TO take the heaps
away. In some OF the streets the
snow heaps were as black as coal
ana were covered with everything
and anything that business men and
housewives had 10 throw away. Mo-
body has any respect for snow

proper place. for the repose of any
thing that they wanted 10 get out OF
their sight, and SO they threw the

snow. The fact Is that New York
is way behind in the matter Of hand
ling the snow. The reason is that
Il is necessary for New York 10 pro-
