A NEW LINCOLN STORY.

L1nc0ln'S DlrtndaV brought OUT q
new Lincoln story. This is it:
Mrs. Eliza Wells of Ypsilanti, Mich,
is old now, put fifty-four years ago
she was fippant young girl of
Springfield, Ill.
Her father. DR.. Taylor, was chum
of Lincoln, and they officed across the
hall from each other. Looking through
Lincoln's uncouth exterior, the doctor
saw a beautiful soul.
81 didn't like him then" says Mrs.
Wells. 81 thought he was so ugly"
Presently the cholera came to Spring
field. Taylor was busy day and night.
Lincoln helped and cheered him and
when medicine was needed for the
poor spared few bills from his lean
purse.
The strain and loss Of sleep put the
doctor on his back with typhoid fever.
Lincoln spent much time at the bed
side and when the doctor was dying
leaned over the bed and said:
Don't worry, doe, about going. I'm
left to look after your family"
IT won't, Abe" were Taylor's last
words.
Two weeks later Mrs. Taylor died Of
broken heart, leaving the young girl
doubly orphaned.
At the funeral they sent the daugh-
ter into the parlor to her mothers
coffin alone. Dazed with her sorrow,
heartbroken, shaken with dry sobs,
she threw herself across her mothers
coffin.
Then says Mrs. Wells, II became
aware of a gentle hand stroking my
hair. Poor Eliza! Girl, come home
with me now" And, looking up. she
says:
81 saw the kindest and most beauti-
full face God ever created. 1t was Mr.
Lincoln's."
She also had seen glimpse Of Lin
coins soul, and he was no longer ugly.
For two years the girl lived as a
member of Lincoln's household in
Springfield. She says he was always
housing some forlorn waif. much to
Int VI MIS- A1uCOlAs
After two years Eliza was married
in the Lincoln home When her hus-
band died. shortly following the birth
of the first baby, Mr.. Lincoln looked
after her as if she had been his own
daughter.
Lincoln's biographers lost something
valuable when they omitted that story.
"He belongs to the ages"
Thus spoke Secretary Stanton on the
morning of that fateful day in April
1865, in the room of the house across
from Ford's theater as he put out his
hands to close the eyes of Abraham
Lincoln when he had breathed his
last. But
The Lincoln we want to know is the
one who got off his horse to put the
1edgelings back In the nest whence the
storm had blown them, the Lincoln
who took to his home and heart the
orphaned girl.

And so exalted a place did he find
for the fine act of that woman that he
declared her story should be told to
the ends of the earth. And it has been
so told.
Why does the world still hug to it's
heart that Bethany story?
Why is the world touched by the
tale of the poor woman who hid in her
heart a great picture in honor of her
baby boy?
. Why? Because, my friend, there are
things of more value in this world
than money or success or fame or
pleasure. Kill in the heart of a wom-
an her love for her child and nothing
remains.

1t is now definitely fixed that the
sleeve with the long shoulder. the full
middle piece and the elbow cuff tight
to the arm is to be in favor 1t is seen
on all the best models. and it evidently
will prevail
The upper sleeve or cap is a bit
loose on the arm, but has no tendency
to be square 1t is cut in one with the
bodice and drops over the arm and is
usually attached to the second divi-
sion. which is made of thin fabric,
gathered top and bottom. This just
turns the elbow and is somewhat full

is there gathered into the third divi-
sion, which is in the shape Of long,
tight cuff. wrinkled or plain.

are, this seems to be the sleeve of the
