THE VOLUNTEERS WIFE.
Was the Real Hero and Martyr OF
the Civil War,

the Civil War.
II knew by the light In his deep, dark
When he heard the roll of the muster
ing drum.
That he never would fold his hands and
sigh
over the evil that was to come.
I knew that the blood of his patriot sire
Ran through his veins like II stream Of
fire,
So l took his hand. and I bade him go.
And he never dreamed that 1t grieved

This verse of an old song, "The Vol

stood, by my childish ears in the war
days of the sixties, often comes back
to me when | think of those who were
the most real and suffering martyrs
of the civil war-the soldiers wives.
The soldier who marched away from
thing to be thankful for. He was
ION the move" and he was where
duty called him in an hour of SUI
preme need. But to stay at home, to
wait, in fear and anxiety, to save and
scrimp to keep things together, as did
so many of the wives of soldiers for
a long three, and sometimes four
years, that was a bitter lot.
But how bravely, for the most part,
did American women bear the bur
dens laid upon them by merciless war.
Without the loyal devotion of Amer
lean women the wal for the union
would indeed have been the failure
which many people wanted it to be.
The women who lived out the days
of the war have, many of them, gone
to their reward. Many of them l
knew, struggling ome who. left wild
owed, with children to bring up and
educate, had taken up the responsible
ity and courageously carried through
the task.
| remember one little woman who
used to draw, at the Chicago pension
agency, her small pension for herself
and three children under the age of
IL years. Left with no means of sup
port, her husband having beer killed
in one of the latest battles of the war,
this woman looked around for some
way by which she could care for her.
self and little ones.
1t was before many of
earning a livelihood had been opened
to women. This one, being a good
cook, chose to perfect herself as a
maker of fine pastry. She soon Sc
cured a place as pastry cook in a
Chicago hotel, and in that way she
earned enough to support and edu-
cate her children. One of her boys
is now a well-established man of prop
erty and influence here in Chicago.
The widows of soldiers went into
stores as clerks, and into offices and
factories, and soon the great woman
movement" for industrial activity, a
chance to earn a living, became a
recognized thing.
Nothing ever seen in the world was
more fine and good than this making
the best of a sad fate by the widow
ed thousands of the great armies OF
north and south.
In the country women managed and
worked on farms, sold and bought and
traded and made for themselves and
their children homes in the desolate
world.
hope that nc one will ever forget
the ~wOmanhood of American life in
the sixties any more than can be
forgotten the splendid manhood which
sprang to arms at the call Of patriot
ism.

Of the mothers of 81 and their great
sacrifices, urges Ada c. Sweet, in Chi.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and %fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
