CAVES PLENTIFUL
A Synopsis of Natures Handiwork
in the Vicinity of Staunton

During the recent cave-in il
STAUNTON and anent the numerous
theories with reference to the cause
thereof, some of which touch on the
probability of well developed cavernl
under this portion of the city, atten
tion has been directed to the fact that
this section and even the imme dia
vicinity of STAUNTON itself, is in
the area Of numerous caves of varying
beauty and dimensions.
The first, closest and probably the
largest of these limestone formations,
is the perpendicular shaft sunk by
nature fom spot not far above the
9. and 0. depot on Sears Hill, and
which tradition says terminates in
the cellar of the Mary Baldwin Sem
mary. Whether this be true or not
is very doubtful, indeed it is mere myth
but we are told by persons who have
been down into this cave, that it ex-
tends some distance in that direction !;
that, after striking a level, it is
narrow with high vaulted ceilings
in places; that in it there is small
body of water and that the rumbiing
of street traffic above can be plainly
heard from certain of its slbterranean
passages.
The second cave in Importance, we
would select as the one on Cedar
Hill, just east of STAUNTON, and
from which the old Bodley Wag on
Works obtained its water supply. This
cave descends at an angle of about 60
degrees from it's spacious entrance
and the descent is made easier by
clinging to the the inch iron pipe
through which the clear, sparkling
water is conveyed to places where
it is useful. At depth of about
200 feet. in this cavern, the water
level il reached. This effectively
prevents further exploration but it
is believed that this piece of Natures
is of considerable extent.
Then there is crevice in the |
rocks, on the southern side of Fac
tory Hill. which may be termed a.,
cave. 1t descends precipitously and is
sufficiently large at the mouth for
,attle to fall into. We are not in pos
session of any facts concerning it's in
;erior.
Betsy Bell, on the southern slope,
slso has cavern which descends to |
considerable depth and which has
,een explored at different times bv
people.
The STAUNTON Caverns, up the
ncline of Dogwood Hill from the
junction Of Jefferson street and MID
llebrook Avenue, are too well known
20 the people of this vicinity to war !
ant description. Under the efficient
of Mr.. VIM. Larner these
and extensive caverns
lave become one of the show places
# STAUNTON.
These various limestone formations
re all in immediate proximity
o Staunton and no doubt there are
'thers which have escaped our atten-
ion. whilst making this compilation.
Outside of this belt, there are many
arms with underground wonders,
'rominent among which are the two
aves in and near Stuart's Woods,
ust west of Staunton. and the cave
m the property of Mr.. Nj. F. Gilke-
on on the old Lexington Road.
Veyer's Cave, or "Grottoes" as tits
low called is the nearest large cave to
TAUNTON. It is situated about II
niles east.

PACKING FLOWERS TO
SEND YOUR FRIENDS

To pack cut flowers is simple mat
ter if one or two important points are
attended to. Whatever size the box
NAV be in which they are to be pack
ed II must be quite filed without
crushing. If the box is only half full
the flowers are constantly moved
about, so that they have every chance
of being rubbed against each other'
with the result that. the petals are OF
Ten scattered about the box, which ar
rives at its destination with its con-
tents in a condition far from fresh.
Packed quite firmly flowers cannot
expand. as they often do, If placed
loosely in a box. Line the box with
soft green leaves, such as spinch or
lettuce. Moss should not be used for
packing flowers, as Il frequently soils
them. and If sent a long distance is
apt TO become heated.
Cotton absorbs the moisture OF cut
blooms, and adheres to their stems
being very difficult to remove.
1t is a good plan to send flowers IN
wide. shallow boxes rather than IN
those of a shape narrow and deep
Place the heavier flowers at the bot
tom and use plenty of leaves between
each layer, leaving the top OF the boA
for the lighter class of blooms anc
delicate ferns.
The boxes used by confectioner'
make good receptacles for flowers, ou'
those that have been used for soap OF
other strong smelling groceries mus
be avoided, as they rob the flowers o.
their perfume.

ANOTHER PERFECT

Another perfect score for the Hud-
son was recorded in the three days

NOW'S THE TIME TO FASHION
YOUR NEW FALL BLOUSE

This is the season when we wish to
sit on the porch and keep as cool as
possible, but we cannot be any more
comfortable If we are idle, and think
how thankful we will be in the fall If
we have wisely employed our time
in making q few dainty blouses. The
fall fashions are becoming settled, and
we will not go far wrong if we adopt
the attractive peasant style; the seam
less sleeve and bodice have caught on
and will be a great favorite during the
coming season. Fine tucked nets are
forecasted either in ecru or white, as
we'll as the all-over Oriental designed
laces for dressy models. Val. is a
good lace TO select for yoke trimmings,
while clung and baby Irish will be
extensively used on the better models,
and there is no reason why we should
not have the best on one dainty blouse
at least-that is, If we make it our
selves in the neatest manner possible.
In fact, cluny and Irish laces, together
with wide silk run Mechlin, are among
the leading laces used on fall models.
While talking of shirtwaists it will
not come amiss to mention the new
jumpers. These are not unlike those
of a few seasons past in cut. but
being of black chiffon or chantilly
they are entirely new In appearance
/ These jumpers are invariably trimmed
with pipings and cordings Of black
satin or Persian designed satin. Tiny
buttons are used for the front trim
ming and back made of silver, gold OF
nickel few are trimmed with red
and blue embroideries and picked out

ers are new. These are especially
lovely in the pastel shades when worn
over white lace marquisette. voile OF

I Another point to be considered is
the tendency to wear waists match
ing ones suit in color. These are
also made after the peasant style with
undersleeves and collarless fuckers oI

idea for the thrifty maiden to spend
