Gen. A. P. Stewart.
Famous Confederate Leader
Joins Comrades Who Have
Passed Over the River-The
Last But One of the Lieu
tenant-Generals of the Con-

Last But One of the Lieu
tenant-Generals of the Con-
federate Army.
Biloxi, Miss, Aug. 3O.-Gen. Alex
ander p. Stewart, one of the last two
surviving lieutenant generals of the
Confederate States army, died at his
home here today. Although in his
S7th year and suffering from the in
firmities OF old age, General Stewards
death was sudden and came as dis
tinct shock to his relatives and
friends.
A native of Tennessee, General
Stewart lived the greater part of his
life in that State, but of late had
been making his home in Biloxi He
was born at Rogersville, Hawkins
county, Tennessee, October End,
1921. and received his early educa-
ton in that State. Later he was ap-
pointed to the United States Military
Academy at West Point, and grad
uated with honors from that institu-
ton in June, 1912.
At the outbreak of the civil war he
was commissioned as brigadier
general in the Confederate States
army, made "a ma ior general in 1863
and received his commission as a
lieutentant general one year later.
The close Of the war found him in
command of the army of Tennessee.
Only three months ago Gen. Stephen
ID. Lee, cOmmander-in-chie of the
United Confederate Veterans, who
held the commission of lieutenant
general in the Confederacy, answered
the last roll call, and his death left
only two officers of the Confederacy,
OF equal rank. These were General
Stewart and Gen. Simon Bolivar
Buckner, of Kentucky. General Stew
arts death today, therefore, leaves
General Buckner as the only surviv-
ing lieutenant general in the COnfed-
crate States army.
The body of Gen. Stewart was
taken to st. Louis and buried in
Bellefontaine cemetery late Thurs
day afternoon. In accordance with
the custom of the United Confederate
Veterans, the internent was not
marked by the call of the bugle or by
| the beat of the drum, the absence of
these martial tributes signifying for
| the veterans that their Weafare is
| over.
The funeral was held at the home
OF A. {. Stewart, a son of the dead
General. Members of the local
branches of the Daughters of the
Confederacy and of the Sons of the
Contederacy attended.
Despite the request of the family
that flowers be omitted the casket
was buried under floral tributes, some
OF which had come from PARKWAY
cities. The service was simple, Rev.
{: I. Russell, of Pittsburg, president
of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract
Society and long intimate friend of
General Stewart, told Of his charac-
ter. his services to Tennessee, his
native State, and as an educator.

TWO IDEAS FOR suNsHADEs.
Pretty Trimming That Need Not Be
in Any Way Costly.

A plain sunshade of habutai rivals
the handsomest of its kind when lined
by mousseline de sole to which
splashy cretonne roses are sewn.
When the parasol is folded. no one
would imagine it to be anything but
white, but when it is opened and the
sun shines through the thin materials,
the cover seems to have faint design
Of roses, almost invisible and alto
Sether alluring.
Any one can carry out the idea by
buying a white parasol and lining it.
Not many roses need be used; in fact,
only few-just suggestion-give
the prettiest effect They are best
placed in a row about three inches
above the edge of the sunshade, and
about two on each panel are quite suf-
1icient. This makes 16 in all for the
average parasol.
For more elaborate sunshade, the
outer border might be formed of large
roses, and toward the stick the flow
ers might become smaller, thus max
ing decoration for the whole. Great
care must be taken in choosing the
flowers that the effect is not orerdone
and made ordinary

IMPORTANCE.
Methods by Which a Neat Appearance

gown for Summer
House Work.

If you must wave your hair on curl
ers or kids, do it after your husband
has left the house for the day, and not
at night.
Just imagine what fright you look
with your hair, the browning beauty
of woman, done in two little braids
at the back and six or seven horn-like
projections in the front
And don't leave your false hair in
fun sight On the bureau.
Can YOU conceive how like wild
animal or a scarecrow you must look
TO him when he views you in the morn

Can you blame him for thinking the
smart-looking woman he sees more
fascinating than his wife?
Remember, he has not seen them in
curl papers.

and whenever I'm feeling particularly
hot and sticky, l surreptitiously turn
some OF it out on my handkerchief and

To arrange the hair for the night,
divide it and tie the front part loose
ly on top with a big bow of ribbon,
then braid back the two braids, and
tie the ends with ribbon. This is so
much neater and more attractive than
to do it up on curriers' or leave it done
up as it has been all day.
A man once said that any woman
who wore her hair in kids or curriers'

Some women do not thinksit posi-
bic for them to do their homework
unless attired in an unsightly wrapper
Usually an ugly creation, bought
reGdy-made, of brown, blue, and
white-striped calicos, seems to be the
favorite garment
The chief advantage is that 1t does
not show the dirt The dirt is there,
however.
Wives who go into a kitchen and
pantry should provide themselves
with shirtwaist suits of clean looking
material in light shades, which, when
soiled, would show it, and be sent to
tho tub.
For summer have them made with
short sleeves and Dutch neck, and at
least three inches from the floor.
These are no more difficult to get
