The clinging, graceful skirt was accordion

short, loose sac was not extravagantly
trimmed though most attractive. There
was a deep. shaped collar Of han en-

Italian ladies' In warm blood; Mme.

dead after q lin gering illness. This simple
statsment would not arouse special interest.
but behind 1t lies the story Of a woman
devotion to the man OF her choice and OF
her sacrifice to the country OF her adoption.
The story OF Elizabeth Cain Finnan Is one
OF the most remarkable In the history OF the
War OF the Rebellion. Onering her services at
Sandusky. Ohio. when her husband enlisted.
she Was taken to Cincinnati, where she was
aooepted a. laundress for the Eighty-nrst
Ohio Infantry. and from that day at the
beginning Of the war until the regiment
was mustered out at Columbus. Ohio. in
September. 1884. she was never absent from
her post OF duty at any time.
Although she went In the FIRST place as
q Aundress. that post was soon abolished
and the husband was informed by Gen.
Dodge that his wife must leave the regi-
ment. Gen. John A. Logan had observed
the attachment between the husband and
wife and interfered In their behalf. Mrs.
Finnan was permitted TO remain and q little
A" tent was furnished for her. She drew
the Government rations the same as any
soldier. and much Of the time wore male attire.
In times OF danger she carried a musket
Just as the soldiers did and In all respects
shared the rough life OF the men about her.
Often she marched nifty miles a day. and her
courage and endurance we're equal to that
Of the soldiers themselves.
A list Of the battles In which she took part
reads almost like q record of the en- ga gements
OF the Wal Of the Rebellion. She was at the
battles Of Corinth. Pocahontas. Huntsville.
Ala: Harrisburg. Mo-. Pulaski. Tenn: Fort
Donaldson and Chattanooga. Tenn: Snake
Creek Gap. Kingston. shiloh and others.
After every battle Mrs. Finnan offered her
services In the feld hospital. Wherever
and whenever needed she was nc hand. and
neither surgeon nor soldier ever called in
vain for her aid. Al the battle of Lookout
Mountain she Was able to perform some SER
vice for Gen. Grant. who later took occasion

which call for less trimming han plain

question. though OF course the latter Ia
preferable.
Narrow hens OF color finishing the
edges Of a white robe are anoth err trimming
which gives q smart effect for little labor
and expense. and the narrow colored hens

lower design are extremely pretty upon
lowered muslin robes. This same idea
10 embodied in lowered silk robes and
matlnees also, the material in such models
being usually accordion plated with mar

all the edges. For women who wear only
black and white, matinees and robes OF this

The striped one tone silks are also used
for longer negligae saoques or tea coats, and
striped effects in crepe n satin, gauze

THE HEIGHT OF FOLLY
I tlnans.Iisr

The ,oress service of the depart
ment of agriculture is doing every
thing IN its power to Impart know
ledge and to create a Ust sentiment
in the minds of the peope of the
country ON the necessity OF forest
preservation and restoration. 1t
has to combat a mountain OF ignor-
ance and Indifference on the subject,
but when the pinch of necessity
comes with the timber famine this
will change. Tree planting will
then become popular, but unhappily,
it takes some thirty, forty and fifty
yea-s TO grow good tree Phil

But can the forest service educate
the people into preserving and re-
storing the forests as fast as those
forests are being destroyed under
the stimulus of a premium for their
destruction? With a tariff ON wood
pul p that compels the destruction Of
upwards of 100000 acres of poplar,
spruce and hemlock forests every
year, and with a tariff on lumber
that puts premium on the destruc-
tion OF million acres of pine and
hardwood forests every year, how
long will it take for the forest service
of the department of agriculture to
catch up and pass the destruction
