His Aunt's Protector.

On the occasion of his wedding an
niversary certain western preacher
recently told few appreciative
friends some of the incidents of his
courtship days. Perhaps the most
interesting was the following:
II called upon the young lady one
evening and found her occupied In
entertaining four-year-old nephew.
The little fellow eyed me suspicious
ly, but went on with his play. After
time he left his playthings and took
a position between his aunt and my
self, where he remained very quietly
for some minutes. Finally he got
restless and, looking up into bis
aunt's face said:
Aunt Liz, would you be afraid II
| runned upstairs just little min
ute?"-Judge.

bones and what meat there was left
to poor widow, whose husband died
fighting for the confederacy, and
whose son was also in the army.
fed the roasted skin to my horse, and
he ate il in double-quick time.
This reminds me of a favorite story
Gen. Baukhead Magruder used to tell
about a dinner he had while he was
serving in the army of northern Vir-
ginia That army was hot much more
than 10000 strong, reckon, and IL had
to do some right sharp work to stand
OF three well-fed, well-equipped fed
eral armies, each of them nearly twice
as large. Well, one day Magruder
was out accommodating with his statf
in the Shenandoah valley, and he
stumbled across likely looking plan
tation.
'He sent his orderly off on the jump
to present his compliments TO the mis-
tress Of the mansion and tell her
that he and the officers were powerful
hungry. Would she be kind enough
to give them some dinner? OF course
she sent back word she'd do her best.
Along comes a yellow-haired young
soldier right after that, and he tells
her the same thing. 1t seems he was
on his way to join his regiment, and
was covered with dust and looking
tired to death.
My young friend, I'm doing my
best to get up good dinner for Gen.
Magruder and his staff. Get down and
come in, and If there is anything left
after they get through you shall have
it,. said the hospitable lady.
"The young chap was hardly out OF
his teens, and it happened that he
came from one of the finest families
in Virginia. He dismounted and went
into the house. Just naturally he
knew how affairs were conducted in
| the old plantation households, and
when Magruder and his staff arrived
he did some pretty tall scouting
around the dining-room. AS soon as
dinner was announced he marched in
at the head of the procession and took
seat next to Magruder. The general
looked at him pretty savage for min
| ute, and said:
"'Sir, do you know with whom you
are dining?
"'No, sir; don't. Before I Joined
the army I was mighty careful whom
ate meal of victuals with, but now
make no distinction whatever
"That settled it. Magruder looked
nettled for a minute, and then burst
out laughing So did the others, ant
the dinner went on with everybody In
high good humor."

The charms of the tailor-made gown
are very apparent this season. it
seems to have reached an unwonted
height of perfection in color. in mate
rial, in combinations of braid and
rich furs, in fact everything which
whole. A great many of the newest
tailor-made models show very fasci-
mating little boleros which are half
capes! These garments invariably
have the sleeves cut in the same piece
as the coatee, thus avoiding a shoulder
seam. / do not pretend to understand
how this is managed, but the effect is
excellent, and it represents one of the
novelties of the season. Famous au-
thorities assert that we are slowly but
surely drifting towards crinolines and
"ieg o mutton sleeves" / do not
think we shall quickly see crinolines
in possession of the feminine affec-
tions but we already have with us
something extremely like the '1eg o
mutton sleeve"
Marked flatness on the shoulder and
considerable width above the elbow!
At this particular moment sleeves Of
this order are very quaint and artistic,
but l should not like to speak with
great certainty about the attractive
ness of the sleeves of next spring.
Fashions must change; it does not
seem possible to leave well alone and
we cannot dare to expect that the
sleeves Of next summer will rival
those Of the season which has just
faded away.
In our illustration we show two or
iginal designs in tailor-made gowns
The one on the right is of silver grey
cloth, trimmed with embroidery. The
other costume is made of bottle green
cloth trimmed with velvet and cords to

RELlsHED A WAR MEAL.
Some OF the Straits to Which the Con-
federate officers Were Reduced.

The veteran, by force of contrast is
often reminded of the many times
during the civil war when the plainest
food had for him zest that no pres
ent holiday can impart. One of these
veterans, a Tennessee colonel, who
served with Forests cavalry became
reminiscent the other day, says the
New York Post.
"a good dinner was as strange to
our camp as a five-dollar gold piece,
he remarked, as he stroked his gray
beard, "and | remember well how
eager we were for persimmon time.
Then it often happened that we got a
good fat possum out of one of those
trees. We'd skin him and leave him
hung up over night for the frost to
touch him just once. Next day
we'd roast him in the ashes with
plenty of yellow yams so sugary that
the sirup would ooze out of them like
resin out of pitch pine tree.
Talk about terrapin and canvas.
back! Why, man alive, possum and
'taters is the things that makes you
truly thank God for the space there is
within you. Such sweet meat and
so fat and juicy! And when the last
morsel had gone down, how calm and
contented you feel; how much at
peace with all mankind.
81 reckon the best dinner we had in
our camp was one fall day in ga
when we were hanging onto the flank
of Sherman's army as it marched

parties brought COW into camp, and

match. The bolero opens on shoulders
to show the velvet blouse.
White, so long the color monopolized
by the debutante, is no longer confined
to her, and this winter a number of
the smartest matrons have appeared
at the sides of their debutante daugh-
ters, at receptions or dances, in gowns
as white, and in some Instances almost
as simple as that of the bud herself.
This is wise fashion, for there is no
color that makes more charming
frame for the mature or even slightly
passe woman than white, when the
shade is properly chosen, for shades
in white should be as carefully con-
sidered when a choice is made as
shades in other colors.
The woman with snow-white hair
and pink and white or white skin
may wear the pure, dazzling whites.
For the woman with dark hair or
grey hair having a yeilowish tinge,
for unfortunately there are such, and
a sallow or creamy skin-the latter
as beautiful as the former is unattrac-
tive-should select the deep cream.
Then there is silver grey hair
to be considered, and the greyish-
white skin, and for these the pearly
greyish shades or the pinkish whites
are suited, but never the creamy tones.
The pinkish whites also go admirably
with the pink-tinted skins, and are a
safe choice for many women, as in
America the pink and white tinted
complexion is most common. The
more beautiful creamy compilations,
and the also handsome dead-white
compilations, being comparatively
rare, perhaps because there are so
very many more blue-eyed women
than those of darker hue, and these are
usually accompanied, or should be at
least, by pinkish-white skins.
