From the Chicago Record Herald
4 lady who lives on the North Side had
occasion a few days ago To go through
the ordeal of enga ging new house
maid. The young woman who had ap-
piled for the place was evidently not a
native Of the United States In fact, It
was apparent that she had been IN this
country only d little while.

She was a pretty girl with rather
shapely hands. and il was hardly rea-
sonable 10 blame her for desiring TO
preserve her beauty If arrangements
could be effected that would make such
a course possible. So il was decided
that she might by accepting 81 week
less than she would have otherwise
received omit the washing.
There was some further questioning
which proceeded satisfactorily 10 both
sides until the girl was asked why she
had left her last place

RINGS MADE OUT OF BUTTONS
Confederate Prisoners Spent Days

From the 81. Louis Globc-Democrat
Grandma. just look at those funny
rings in that window" said young lady
on Sixth street the other day, as she and
a lady much older passed the window OF
"a small store whose nature was advertised
by three large gilt balls overhead.
They are black. ! never saw black
rings before. And look at that one. It's
fat and set with silver stars. And there S
another with little gold plate. Are they
mourning ring52'"
NO said the old lady. They are not
mourning rings. They are reminders OF
that awful war.
why, what did they have 20 DO with
the war; asked the girl IN establishment
Rings like those were made by the
Confederate prisoners right here in ST
Louis" said the old lady
There were many prisoners. hundreds
at time. locked up iu the old Mcdowell
College at Eighth and Gratot. and IN the
old Lynch prison for slaves. at Broadway
and Clark avenue. Your grandfather was
in McDowelTs College, and the habits of
the inmates became pretty familiar to
Oners were captured in the field. with
nothing IN the world but the clothes they
had on. and those were often very ragged
The government supplied clothes for sucH
as needed them and benevolent people IN
the city, both Northern and Southern
sympathiZers. sent great bundles Of cloth
ing 10 the prison. but some of those poor
fellows were so proud that they wouldn
wear the governments clothes, and said
they'd die in their rags before they'd wear
charity garments. SO they made rings.
The guards were permitted to buy
gutta-percha buttons for them. and they
were allowed. by special permit little
pocketknives. that We're gathered up by
the guards every night and issued again
IN the morning. and all day long they
would sit and whittle the tough black
buttons. making rings like those. and
rounding them and polishing them by rub
bling them against the walls and on the
floor
1t sometimes took a man two or three
days 90 make a ring. Then the Union
soldiers would sell them for the prisoners.
and there was good sale for them az
"a dollar apiece. Some of those silver
sets were made out of dimes that the
prisoners hammered until they were as
thin as paper. I suppose that gold set
may have come from a bit Of watch
chain or something like that.
The Southern girls all wore them for a
while
The two went on. 4 day or two after
ward the young lady was passing the
store window with a companion and
thought of the rings and the story.
Let's 60 ia and buy one for a Keep

IN the window. The two went into the
shop

MISS MOROSINTs CLOTHES.
Some FadN of the Woman Who
Spends 100000 Year on Dress.


From the Woman's Home Companion.
In the matter Of spending money on fine
raiment. perhaps Miss Giulia Moroslni,
daughter of G. p Morosini. banker and
former partner of Jay Gould, is admit
tedly the most extravagant OF million
airesses. She confesses that she spends
S200.O00 a year on clothes alone and her
interest in life is divided between her
horses and the gowns that match her
turnouts. Miss Morosini's gowns are gen
orally the sensation of the annual horse
show at Madison Square Garden, and a
daily study for sight-seers along New
Yorks million-dollar speedway. Every
gown and hat she dons IS built to har-
monize with either vehicle or harness.
To harmonic with one pigskin set Of har-
ness she wears a princess frock of tan
coIored satin chiffon For another pig
skin harness, with blue satin rosettes and
gold mountings, on chestnut horses. she
wears "a pale blue rough silk trimmed
with Irish lace.
Recently she decided that she wished 10
wear royal blue, so she sent to London
for matching harness to be used when
she drives with her famous three-abreast
team The royal blue harness is Of finest
kidskn dyed TO match the broadcloth OF
her gown. Her basket-weave vehicle has
wheels of oxblOod red, and when seated
In this vehicle Miss Morosini wears an
onion-red chiffon satin. For each Of these
gowns she has matching hats and SHOES,
many Of the latter dyed TO order, but with
every harness she uses lines Of white

suede gloves in elbow length

WOMEN as WINGED BEINGS.
Doctor Says Arms Are DwindIiug TO
Mere Vestiges Through IdIeness.

Prom the New York World.
DR. Charles Loomis Dana declared that
the arms of women are becoming mere
anatomical vestlges-ancestra relics, Ike
the yermiform appendix. and in time may
disappear altogether. and be replaced, per
haps. by wings. or fins.
Or. Dana, who is a nerve specialist and
visiting physician to Bellevue, has been
making a study Of brachial or shoulder
and arm neuralgia. He has made the
discovery that the arms of women. so
ciety women especially. are falling into
disuse, and gradually losing their eco
nomic functions as members Of the body
Il have been struck with the fact that
brachial neuralgia Is seen more fire.
Guently in women, particularly those Of
the leisure classes" said DR.. Dana
They have not. perhaps. led idle lives,
bat have never used their arms IN do
mestic or material work. and have gen
orally been Of a nervous organization;
that is. of "a well-evolved type, and have
been good livcrs. So that ! venture 10
advance, with some reservation, "a theory
that the arms of these modern women
are becoming quasi-vestigial. like the ap-
pendix. the jcjunum, and the last molar
tooth" He thinks society women may,
for long time. have enough of an arm
To feed themselves and DO up their hair.
The spinal cord Of women. Or. Dana
says. is larger IN proportion to TIE brain
than the spinal cord of men. The nerve
supply i'm wOmans arms is only half as
great as in mans Some women get
shoulder neuralgia from knitting OF en-
broidering- a mild form occurs as the
