Roses on eIouses.

Fashion now commands her de-
votees to wear flowers in profusion,
not only on hats but on lace The
newest Partisan lace blouses bear
painted rambler roses, in color ap-
preaching pure pink. The deeper
carmine of the garden variety also is
seen.
Buckles representing tiny garden
flowers are novelties in millinery trim
mings. They are placed straight
across the front of mushroom hat,
forget-me-nots, pinks and violets be-
ing used. Another novelty consists of
minute wreaths of flowers linked to-
gether to form chain which encircles
the crown of wide brimmed hat.
Yes, it is clear the fashionable mil
liners do not recognize anything ex-
cept youth in their customers. It is
not of the slightest consequence If the
marks of time are accentuated by the
proximity of bright colors. The edict
of the milliner is: Take what we
give you, or leave it. And, leaving it,
you are hopelessly out of fashion"

rial washes and wears splendidly.
Again, the cost is not prohibitive, and
the silk is always more dressy than
muslin and does not crush and soil
as quickly. The pongee silk waist
shown here is the latest model, and
one that is just appearing in the
shops. 1t shows the present popular
pleated jabot and pleated cuff effect.
The collar is detachable and has an
ample band to permit of the high turn
down linen collar being worn with it.
The cost is about five dollars.
The lingerie gown has become abso-
lutely necessary to the woman of
taste who does not spend her sum-
mers in the arctic regions. Certainly
for the city, the seashore and the
mountains, for street wear, for par
ties, picnics and dances lingerie
gown is an essential part of the ward
robe. Mercerized batiste is the ma
terial in favor at present. 1t comes
in different shades of white, cream
and pale tints of blue, pink, yellow
and lavendar.
The styles are usually the one-piece
or princess effect, becoming to most
figures, and the gowns are so made
as to be easily altered if they do not
fit exactly.
The illustration has panels of tuck
ed batiste edged with Valenciennes in
sertion. The Valenciennes runs
around the points of the tucking, and
the skirt is finished with tucks of the
material. The waist shows tucking
and scroll effect in lace, with medal
lions of filet lace. And the same idea
is carried out in the decoration of the
sleeves.
Another design has a yoke of filet
lace, edged with beading and scroll
work of Valenciennes, with small
tucked insertions. There is a deep
yoke of lace and beading over the
hips and the dress is finished with al
ternate bands of lace and tucks
around the edge of the skirt, reaching
to the knees:

was orderly sergeant of the company
and served in the war of 1861.
Early in the spring of 1854 Gibbons
was one of over 100 cavalry, artillery
and infantry soldiers under First
Lieut.. Stoneman and corps of
United States engineers who came
east across the trackless desert of
San Antonio, Tex.
Gibbons was assigned for duty with
Capt. Richards, company G, First
United States artillery, at Ringgold
barracks and at Fort Clark, Tex. His
time of enlistment expired November
Is, 1856, and he lived for time at
Cincinnati, o., and New Orleans, La.
His old company I, under Capt. Ma.
gruder (late confederate generaD,
had come east across the plains, and
Gibbons reenlisted in his old COM
pany, tive-year enlistment, was trans
ferred to New York, then to COM
pany e, under Capt. Doubleday in
June, 1860, at Fort Moultrie, Charles
ton harbor South Carolina. When
Maj. Anderson evacuated Fort Moul-
trie, on the eve of December &c, 1860
and occupied Fort Sumter, the post
flag and other emblems were put in
a barrel and Private Gibbons was de-
tailed to guard the barrel and contents
in transit.
Gibbons took a very active part in
helping strengthen and in defending
both Forts Moultrie and Sumter. He
tells of many anecdotes and incidents
of bravery by the women, officers
and soldiers at both forts. At Fort
Moultrie, when both Capts. Double
day and Seymour were worn out by
constant work by day and marching
on the ramparts at night, Mrs. Double
day and Mrs. Seymour stood watch,
relieving each other every two hours
while their husbands slept.
When Maj. Anderson allowed his of.
ficers to return the enemy's fire at
7:20 a. M, April IL, 1861, Capt
Doubleday sighted the first gun, and,

AN ARMY STORY.
How o'6rlen Rose From Drayman to
Lieutenant Colonel.

A civilian and an army officer were
talking. The civilian had suggested
that the recent assignment of troop
of colored cavalry to duty at West
Point had been made by the war de-
partment to mitigate the humiliation
felt by the colored regiments because
of the Brownsville affair. The civilian
thought 1t was a compliment to send
colored soldiers to the show place of
the whole army, says the Chicago
Daily News
"Compliment?" said the officer
We'll, it may have been so intended
by the department; for the depart
ment, the civilian part of 1t, doesn't
necessarily know the status of the
West Point detachments of cavalry
and artillery. They really are not SOL
diers. They really are grooms. They
used to be enlisted right there with
full understanding on the part Of the
man who enlisted of the sort of serv.
ice he was getting into. They had
houses and were allowed to marry and
therefore many men we're willing to
enlist for sort of service"
But" said an ex-volunteer officer,
who stood by, 81 used to see Grifiths'
West Point battery there in Virginia
during the war, and it was fine body
Of soldiers"
Enlisted when the war broke out
from farmer boys there on the Hud-
SON." explained the army officer
There was a nucleus of trained men
in 1t, of course. The drivers, the men
who ride the near horse in each of the
three teams hitched to battery, were
trained men; for in my time they did
not, as now, have cadets act as drivers
in cadet artillery drill The drivers
were trained enlisted men. 1t takes
a mighty good man to be an artillery
| driver.
do you remember Lieutenant Col
onel O'Brien (this is not the real name
which the army officer mentioned),
who retired not long ago? He has

Easily Made Affair That Will Help
the Slipper.

tits the ambition of every girl and
young woman to own some of the
dainty satin suede slippers in white
or gay colors that are now SO much in
vogue. But. unfortunately, to the av-
erage woman these slippers, especial
ly where 1t is necessary to have a
number of them to match different
gowns, prove an expensive luxury far
beyond the reach of moderate al
lowance.
One thrifty young person, however,
not to be daunted by obstacles, has
hit upon way of providing herself
with the most up-to-date looking slip
pers at a minimum cost. She buys a
perfectly plain pair of suede slippers
of good shape. but destitute of bow or
buckle, at less than half the cost of
the decorated ones, and then proceeds
to trim them herself with the new
knotted ribbon rosettes which are
seen on all the high-class dancing slip
pers.
These rosettes are so easy to make
that any girl can concoct them. Buy
seven yards of ribbon about half an
inch wide and the exact shade of the
slipper. Divide 1t In two parts, and

Grifiths' battery. There was a queer
chain of circumstances that took him
along from drayman to lieutenant COL
onel and made his sons graduates of
the institution where he started in by
scraping artillery horses.
"O'Brien was a drayman in New
York city, not long over from Ireland,
strong, husky chap and with an ex-
cellent command OF ais flsts. One day
he got in a jam away down there at
the time end of the city and police
man spoke more harshly to him than
O'Brien liked. He jumped down from
his dray, which was so tightly wedged
in that the horses would have to stand,
and thumped the policeman to fin
ish. The policeman called for help
and lot of other policemen took after
O'Brien, who ran like the mischief,
lodging around corners and leaping
over obstacles. Other policemen took
them and the others behind shouted
on the word to them.
"O'Brien got to the waterside just
as a tug with lot of empty canal
boats was starting up the Hudson. He
leaped over three feet of water and
hid in one of the boats. The police
could have nabbed him, of course, II
they had known he was on the wa
ter, but they thought he was behind
some lumber pile, and so he escaped.
The captain of the tow boat let him
work around little until they made
their first landing, which happened to
be West Point Then he put O'Brien
ashore.
Being penniless, he was glad to en-
| list in the artillery detachment, which
had vacancy just then. He went
to work scraping horses. One day a
driver was laid up and the artillery
instructor was fuming around Won
dering what he should do. O'Brien
spoke up and said that he knew how
to drive. Sitting on plunging horse
with your right leg done up in iron
to keep it from being crushed against
the pole between you and the other
horse isn't quite like driving dray,
even under the most exciting condi'
tions of dray driving, but the lieuten'
ant colonel couldn't do any better and
so O'Brien went into drill that day aa
driver of the middle team of caisson
He was strong, intelligent and quick
and he stayed driver.
Sumter was fired on soon after
ward and O'Brien went to the front
with Grifiths and got promoted right
along After the war he was trans
ferred to the regulars. So in time he
was retired as lieutenant colonel
all because he got mad and licked q
cop in lower New York. II he hadn't
been able to lick the cop the cor
might have held him. Then O'Brien
would have had 80 days in jail, gone
back 10 his dray and new known
that he had escaped wearing shoulder
straps with silver leaves on them"

Tie each of these short pieces in a
loose knot directly in the middle and
fold the piece over so the two ends
come together and the knot is on top.
Then cut out round piece of crino-
line and sew the knotted pieces on
it, beginning at the outer edge and
working in toward the center until a
full, pretty rosette is made. This
should then be sewed securely to the
top of the slipper.
1t is surprising how such simple
little affair will improve cheap, new

MRs.NELLIE MAKHAM

A nervous irritable woman. often on
the verge of Mysteries, is source OF
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
erable herself.
Such women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous prostra-
tion, nervous dependency, t h
"blues", sleeplessness, and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
treme irritability F? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing down pains,nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappyp If SO,
your nerves are in a shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with

Nothing to Say For 1t.

The Vine and Spirit NepS thinks
that liquor statesmen should inform
themselves concerning the laws
governing the traffic, and concern
ing the liquor question in its var
ious phases, so that they "need
not stand speeches. when some
frantic attacks their business"
Good advice, certainly. The trou-
BILE is that no amount of informa-
ton will enable anyone to make a
logical defense of the saloon. AS
a Western liquor attorney said not
long ago, "The fact is, the bust
ness is so bad that there isn't
much to say for it,"
