CHRISTMAS TOKEN
FOR The VETERANS
Daughters Of the Confederacy
Lovingly Remember the
Old Soldiers.

No class of men in this South.
land have a lOftler and nnre
heartfelt appreciation of and de-
votion to the women of this land
than the now old veterans of the
war. The seif-sacri6eing spirit.
the lofty patriotism, the heroic
self-denial of the South's fair and
devoted women was born when
the tocsin summoned to arms. 1t
grew and crystalized with the
endurance of that heroic struggle.
Ii has been handed down and
cherished as a priceless heritage,
by their descendants.
Little wonder, then. that this
spirit finds touching and tender
expression as the era approaches
when the Christmas chimes will
ring out in the glad tidings of an
era of peace and good will in
every Christian land.
Last Tuesday the noble ladi, 5
of VIM. Walker Chapter, U. ID.

o the citizens of Winfield, sent
q Christmas box to the disabled
v terans of the Soldiers Home in
New Orleans. 1t is love offer

tobacco, pipes, suspentlers, nuts.
pickles. jeiIies. hams, candies, and
GAINED goods of all descriptions,
tn small packages adorned with
ribbons and the colors that the
Confederate veteran worships.
Il was just such love and free
will offering rs the tender hearts
of these fair women prompted,
aid their soft fingers lovingly pre-
p lred, and tears mingled with
{, her smiles and words of devotion
as the packages were handled,
with many an unuttered prayer,
as this messenger of good will was
sent on its way to the aged boys
in Gray"

MAN AND HIS HAT.

Mrs. John Lane in Putnam's Monthly.
There are things, it is a comfort
to know, which even a man cannot
do, and q man is supposed to be able
to do almost anything. Now a novel
LIST may put his heroine's hat on her
head at any angle he chooses-it is one
of the few privileges Of womanhood-
and leave her not a bit less charming
or dignifed, but l defy him to put his
hero's hat at q rowdy angle over his
ear at a crucial point in his career
and leave him still heroic! The Achil-
les heel of man is his hat. He must
guard that as he does his reputation,
for it is at once his strength and his
weakness. 1t would hurt an archbish-
op-and an archbishop necessarily
stands for all that is good and great
less in the eyes of the public to com
nit crime than to wear his hat on
the back of his sacred head-real back
and SO exhibit himself to his dis
tressed diocese. He may have all the
known virtues, and many that are not
known, but even an archbishop can
not with impunity defy convention.
Still, if he is so inclined, why should
not a great and good man wear his
hat over his nose without creating
unfavorable comment? The fact is he
cannot. He is ruled by convention, and
convention is the red tape Of society
The cast-iron laws of fashion, which
is only another name for convention
are such that if the greatest man in
England We're to walk with all his
accustomed dignity from the Marble
arch to the bank with a trailing pea
cocks feather attached to the band Of
his immaculate silk hat he would be
followed by mob in two seconds and
by the time he reached We're street the
outraged majesty of the law would
take him into custody as a suspicious
character.
