 Friends Say Goodbye.
 When MT. Taft had concluded MT. Roosevelt immediately made his way to the rostrum. President Taft advanced to greet him. The two shook hands warmly and with left hands on each other $ shoulders. they conVersed earnestly and enthusiastically for a few moments. Dur ing the leavetaking every one in the chamber stood still and looked on with keenest interest at the unusual picture At last the friends parted and MT Roose- welt darted out of one of the side doors leading into the Senate lobby. He was followed by resounding cheers. Presi- dent Taft was escorted out through the main door amid an ovation. The dis tinguished guests departed iA the order in which they had entered the Senate cham Der. The great crowds outside the capi- tol caught up the cheers of those who had forced their way within.

 Interesting Parade.
 The parade was so replete. with in- terest that 1t would be difficult to diff ferentiate.

The trim cadets from West Point attracted the usual interest and made a charac- teristically fine showing. The mid shpmen from Annapolis, snow bound within 20 miles of Washington, shared the fate of thousands of sight seers who were unable to reach the city on account of the storm and the demoral- ized condition of the railroads. The constabulary band of S6 pieces was given the place of honor in the es- cort of President Roosevelt and MT. Taft to the capitol and attracted much attention. The Philippines saw today their first fall of SHOW.
 The storm which began last night and continued until noon, carried down practically every telephone and telegraph wire leading out of Wash ington and for a time today it seemed that the capital city. on its most inn portant occasion, would be entirely cut off from the rest of the world.

Fashions In Stationery

For the newest spring stationery sev- eral new fads and fashions are remarked.
 One of the latest ideas is the odd cus- tom of placing the monogram or crest on the fourth or last rage of ones writ ing paper. This ap' IS like a hind side-before" sort of effect and is de- cidedlv disconcertin until one becames accustomed to it. manner of writing a letter naturallyy changed, taking it's ''cue'' from the nj ogram and beginning on the last page then jumping to the first.
 The modern VI aan's letters are like Chinese puzzle, ny way, not only as to writing, but as to the pages written upon. Those who pride themselves on being fad dists write on the first page and then continue to the third; then they turn to second page, shift the paper so that the left edge becomes the top, and then re- sume their writing.
 The satin finish paper is the very latest in stationery. The rough papers are not used at all. A deep cream color is the favorite shade. This comes, perhaps, from the fact that so many flaming greens, blues and pinks have been in use, that well-bred women have grown tired of them, and are welcoming the more modest and sedate color of cream.
 Envelopes to betperfectly proper should be very nearly square. In fact, they are more nearly so than for many years past, but whether square or long the flaps are pointed. Long flaps are entirely passe, and to use them expresses very plainly indifference or ignorance of the latest modes in stationery.
 There are no between sizes in mono grams. Either they are immense or they are very diminutive.
 There is decided preference for plain block letters, joined so slightly as to leave them entirely legible. Some of the new ones are enclosed in tiny frames and these are without exception either long and narrow or panel effect, or shallow and long.
 Rounds and squares are decidedly passe.

this chapter sent five dollars, one OF the
first contributions sent from any source.
The chapter has contributed money
on memorial days both for Johnson 8

chief work out of Obion County was for
the Soldiers Home at Nashville. Until
the two last years its annual contrlbu-
ton to that was from thirty-siX to fifty
dollars, besides boxes of delicacies.
There were only eleven chapters in the

over sixty.

to help pay expenses for aSouthern girl
who had been so fortunate as to get a
