Clara Barton's Decorations.
Miss Clara Barton, founder of our
National Red Cross Society, was deco
rated by Emperor William I with the
g IRON Cross of Merit = as reward for
her services with his army throughout
the entire Franco russian war, during
which she was called TO the court of the
Grand Duchess of Baden to suggest re-
lief measures and was decorated by the
grand duke with the " Golden Cross of
Remembrance, - while the grand duchess
presented her with the Red Cross brooch.
Having done further valuable work In
Paris in the closing days of the COM
mane, she could have had also the cross
of the Legion of Honor had she not re-
fused to take the necessary preliminary
steps.
Early in the SOS, after having aided
in securing the adoption of the treaty
of Geneva, she was given the Geneva
medal of honor. Indeed, this venerable
philanthropist, who also represented our
country at the Red Cross conferences at
Carlesruhe, Rome, Vienna and St. Pc,
tersburg, and who engineered our relief
measures for victims of the Johnstown
flood, of the great Russian famine, of
the Armenian massaeres, of the Cuban
troubles of 1898 and of the Galveston
food has received decorations or testi-
monials also from the rulers of Austria,

woman is the thing. The new gowns
have brought this about and the new
corsets. But it is a struggle. And the
thin girl just laughs. She is having her
innings.
The woman with good figure cannot
but rejoice at the hip yoke, which has
appeared in Paris and which is being
rapidly adopted elsewhere. The hip yoke
is very deep and fits the figure like a
glove. It is fastened invigibly at the
back The skirt, which is circular

SUNDAY GOLF IN SCOTLAND.

In the highlands, as might be ex-
pected, Sunday golf has always been
frowned upon--Auld LIGHTS, Wee Frees,
Big Frees and other varieties of Scot
fish religionists being at one in de-.
nouncing the desecration of the Saw
bath
But in spite of this there were two
or three golf courses in the north on
which a quiet game might be played
on Sunday. The golfer who made use
of the privilege had to act cireumspeet-
ly, taking care that his paraphernalia
were not displayed so conspicuously as
to offend local suseeptibiities. Indeed,
he had to take his game almost sur
reptitiously, and it is want of cireum-
spection on the part of certain players
which has put an end to Sunday golf in
the highlands.
Not long ago there was a rising Of
the crofters whose Cravings form part
of the Brora course, with the result that
the club had to face the alternatives
of forbidding Sunday golf or having the
course eurtasled to such an extent as
to make it useless. Since the fleet be,
gan to visit the Cromarty firth many
of the officers have been in the habit
of playing over the Nigg golf clubs
course, but the popularity of the
pastime among the officers doomed their
Sunday play The club has issued
notice that henoeforth the course is TO
be closed on Sunday. Which means
that now there will be no gOlfng on

quiet and never seems to have anything
to say, exert yourself to draw her out.
Lead her into general conversation at
every opportunity and let her feel that

DO not let her sink into that state of
mind which is content to let other peo-
