Miss Gable will go to Corea for her
work, in which country she has a
brother engaged in mission work.
Miss Baker expects to go to South
America where the field seems to have
god openings for young women in
the mission work. Miss Nicholson
WI engage in the work Of the Young
Ncmens' Christian Association for a
yea1 in this country before leaving for
any foreign field. She will work
among the colleges and under the di-
~rection of the head association.
Messrs. Scott Hauser and Walter
Smith have not as yet formulated
their plans, and they cannot say
where they will go in the future. Guy
Cook leaves shortly for Rapid City,
S. d., where he will have charge of
the city work of the Y. NJ. G. A, and
in the fall the head association will
send him to Fargo, N. D., where he
will have charge of the work among
several colleges as secretary of the
institutions.
There is some Indebtedness as to
the movements of Rev. James r..
Crowther in the volunteer mission
field. AT the present time he is fill
ing the important station of Dakota
Conference missionary in this state
and is meeting with such phenomenal
success hat there is much reluctance
on the part of the Conference to let
him go into any other field. He is the
first man appointed to this position in
the entire General Conference of. this
country. In the first six months of
his work he has raised for missions
$4,000 more than any other man who
has ever been in the work, and he will
nearly double it before his year is
out. Bishop Oldham has written the
Conference urging that Mr.. Crowthers
be sent to Singapore for the purpose
of establishing a college at that place.
Mr.. Crowthers is a f~orceful young
man and his work in the field of
Methodism will count for much in the
yeas to come.
he many friends of the volunteer
band will wish them the greatest sue
cess in their chosen field Of work.

FAps AND FASHIONS

New York, Dec. 12.-Winter has
come in earnest and with ii increased
interest in furs. All the large and
fashionable shops display quantities
OF furs of every kind. I'm sets or indi.
yidual pieces and their fur depart
ments are working over time to salts
fy the crowds of women. anxious TO
make their selections before the best
bargains have been snapped up. Never
were furs more fashionable than at
the present time and never did the
shops display a greater variety of
handsome and attractively made.up
furs. When one considers how greatly
a handsome fur set enhances the pleas
ing effect OF simple serge, cheviot
or English mohair tailor-made suit
or to what extent IL emphasizes the
splendor of satinfnished cloth, otto.
man or velvet costume, the prevailing
craze for furs is by no means surpris.
ing.
Comparatively few years ago furs
were black, gray or brown and there
were not more than probaly half a
dozen kinds of furs to choose from
Today II is different. Not only do
the furriers offer the choice between
more than a score of genuine kinds
of furs, but with great ingenuity, they
have produced the most deceiving i'm.
itations and artificial varieties, as nov
ell as they are attractive. II is really
surprising what effects the furriers
have been able TO produce by skilful
manipulation of low grade and cheap
furs. One of the latest achievements
is the imitation of pointed fox by
sticking white tips to the long hairs of
a common fox fur.
The widespread craze for long lines
in feminine garb was promptly noted
by the makers of furs and they We're
not slow In adapting their creations
to the prevailing style. One Of the
most fashionable furriers in the United
States had the happy inspiration to

return TO the early Victorian style
and reproduce the graceful, long
lined victorine, which is quite simple
and yet fulfills every requirement of
line and adaptability Of the present
fashion The victorine has been ca.
gerly adopted by the stout woman, be-
cause II conceals her too ample curves,
and by the slender woman, because
IL helps her to emphasize the long
drawn-out slenderness of line which
is the aim of every fashionable woman
at the present time.
Pony coats are no longer regarded
as correct for street use by the ultra.
fashionable set, but they are almost
universally worn at the weekend coun-
try house parties and at country clubs
as wrap to be slipped on over the
white linen morning frock which the
modish woman affects for winter garb.
They are dyed black or in the natural
brown tints. and lined with white
satin or brocaded silk.
Three-piece fur sets are more than
ever in evidence this winter, the hat
having attained unsual Importance
amongst furriers, many of whom EN-.
ploy expert milliners for constructive
attractive fur headgear. Because of
the softness about the face, there is
no type of winter hat to rival that of
fur. and among these none are more
universally popular than the Cleo and
toreador and turbans, which require
scarcely any trimming beyond a clus-
ter of outstanding wired brushes with
head bases. a feather aigrette or a
bunch of flowers. In some of the
fashionable shops fiye-piece sets are
exhibited. They include fur wrist
lets, which are affected by a few of
the ultra fashionable women.
Fringe is used more extensively than
ever for decorative purposes this
season. Pearl fringe, composed of tiny
beads, finished at the end of each
strand with one large pearl, borders
the tunic of the evening gown Soft
silk fringe outlines the kimono of the
Directoire coat. The overskirt OF one
gown is cut in points, bordered with
fringe, while the girdle, which comes
high under the bust, has the ends
knotted in front. weighted with fringe.
Another gown in thick meteor crepe
de chine has scarf of chiffon bor-
dered with beaded fringe This scarf
is draped over the shoulders and cor
sage, and is held in place by knot of
soft satin.
Beige and mauve are the colors used
for the fringe on smart costume in

with violet silk and lined with beige.
The most popular among the feath-
ers which are used for decorating hats
this season is. Just as IL always has
been, the ostrich plume. II Is the
most beautiful and decorative OF all
feathers and also the most unobjec-
tionable from a humanitarian point OF
view, as II Is obtained from live birds
without causing them great pain.
There are several kinds OF ostrich
plumes The one most universally
used for decorating hats is the beau.
tiful plume with three.inch flues. 1t
is quite expensive, as large and per.
feet specimens are rather scarce.
Then there are the "byocks," plumes
resembling the kind first mentioned,
but having flues on one side of the
stem This is what is usually called
"plucked plume" although there is
really nothing artificial about IT, They
are usually half white and half brown
In choosing an ostrich plume, be
sure to see that the stem Is in one
Igece. not made of sevaal smaller
plumes sewn or pasted together. II is
In this way that people are so often
deceived On the plume there should
be no paste or stitches; the flues
should grow naturally from the stem
and the stem itself should be strong.

The willow plume, the most expen

quired by tying extra flues to those
already on the stem. That is to say,
IL you take an ordinary ostrich plume

The chief charm of present day Golf
fure fashions lies in the soft fluffy
effect which is out of the question with
hair that is stiff, damp or oily. There.
fore the first essential is to see that
the hair is In a perfectly healthy and
absolutely clean condition This rule
holds steadfastly whether the arrange

To part the hair in the middle is
just now the fancy of the Partisan

i e., they were both whgs. Here he was Lincoln's second in a 'duel' with Shields, a duel which did not come off; for Lincoln "explained'' after the parties reached the duelling ground. Where Bledsoe studied law I have never learned but he certainly became a very profound constitutional lawyer. Nor can I say where he studied theology, but he was an exceedingly able theologian. He was for some time an Episcopal minister. but gave up the ministry on the alleged ground that the Book of Common Prayer taught the doctrine of baptismal regen- eration. For many years after this he was a layman in the Episcopal church; but finally abandoned that communion, and joined the Methodsts. Among the Methodsts he was as restless as he had been among the Episcopalians; and soon published an elaborate article to prove that infant baptism is unknown to the New Testament.
 From 184S to 1853 he held the chair of astrC A'my in the University of Misss- sippi. Here he wrote his "Theodicy,' y which is. an argument in vindication of Gods moral government of the world. He was not satisfied with Leibniz, who had treated this subject long before Bled- soe's day. Indeed, he criticises Leibniz quite freely But his main object was to reply to Edwards on the Will''; and he wrote what hold to be the most pow erful answer that has ever been made to that famous treatise

moment hesitate to follow. For in- stance, this great and intricate problem confronted him: How can we account for the fact that sin entered a world which is governed by perfectly good, wise, holy and omnipotent God?'' And he deliberately reasons to the conclusion that God could not prevent it Not only so; but he states that conclusion in the clear est and frankest manner imaginable.
 From 1853 to 1861 he was professor of mathematics in the University of Vir ginia. Here he wrote his Liberty and Slavery" the most poRerful book that have ever road in that field of thought. Divers traditions of his sharpness at repartee and <. criticism still hold their own in the university. Here is a speci- men: A stuGent worked out problem in the "calculls,' and Bledsoe asked him, Where did you get that demonstration?" From Robinson's Calculus" was the reply. Robinson? Robinson?' said the professor. Was he of Cincinnati?" "Yes, sir.' "Well.' said Bledsoe, "I once lived in Cincinnati but ever since l left it have been trying to forget everything I knew of it; and I am glad to say that had succeeded so far as MT. Robinson is concerned. I should never have thought of him again if you had not mentioned him; and if any graduatae of the school of mathematics in this university should ever perpetrate such a book as Robin sons Calculus 1 would have the board of visitors called together and have his diploma taken from him as having been obtained under false pretenses."

 He was a good hater and evidently enjoyed hating ''the Yankees" In the spring of 1862, when he was assistant sec ret9ry of war under Benjamin, I met him in a barber's shop in Richmond. Since the close of my university career in 1860, we had never met; but he recognized me at once greeted me cordially. and, though under the barbers hands, proceeded to talk: "Mr. Hiden, we've got two Yankee preachers in prison here-one an Eps- copalian and the other a Baptist. knew he was a Baptist, because Dr. Bur rows kept coming to see him.

From the time when Solomon took to himself thousand wives, even down to our own day, the foolish things, done by great men. On my list of great men Bledsoe holds very high rank but I cannot say that he was conspicuous for wisdom
 Within the space of about 12 months the state of Kentucky gave birth to three men, who in widely. different ways, made their mark upon their day and genera ton. They were Jefferson Davis, Abra- ham Lincoln and Albert Taylor Bledsoe. Soon after my matrlculation as student at the University of Virginia, in October, 1858, I was passing by the railway sta- tion, when my attention was attracted to a very remarkable looking man who was standing on the platform. His form was stalwart and athletic, not to say gigan- tic. His head was the most massive, and his forehead the most impressive that I ever saw and 1 have seen John c. Cal houn. 1 at once asked fellow student: "Who is he?" And he replied: "Bledsoe."
 He was born about 1908, graduated at West Point in 1880. and served In the army on the frontiers for about two years. Soldering did not suit his taste; and so he resigned his commissions and in 1S33-34 was mathematical professor at Kenyon college, Ohio; in 1S35-36 in Miami university. From 1S40 to 1S4S he practiced law at the same bar with Abraham Lin coin, in Springfield, III. He and Lincoln were then on the same side in politics,

He said: I've been told that you said l was a contemptible puppy Yes said l, that is my opinion of you Well. now said Lincoln, if you will listen to me, I think l can convince you that you are mistaken" After the fiasco of the so-called duel with Shields. Bledsoe was thoroughly convinced that Lincoln was coward and he did not effect. After the war he spent some time in England; but in the early days of the Reconstruction" period, he re- turned established himself in Balti- more and edited the Southern Review" The initial article of the first number was entitled The Education of the World" and was one of the most pow erfully written and exquisitely polished essays in any language known to me. not excepting even Sallusts splendid introduction to his history of Cati

 woods magazine" the Atlantic Month ly' and the North American Re view" and in point of ability the Southern Review" led them all.
 Though man of superlative abili- ty, and of deep and broad culture, Dr. Bledsoe left no great reputation as a preacher; and I do not believe that his preaching, among either the Episco palians or the Meth odists ever amount
