word is worn out, like the brooches are
now. 1t was an unusual custom for a
friend to leave another prosperous
friend his clothes, for the reason that
good clothes were generally imported
and took long time and much money
before they could be worn; and TO leave
these imported and almost indestruc-
tible articles of wearing apparel to a
friend was considered a token OF sim

Booker, whose beautiful soprano
voice Is winning for her golden opin-
ions from all sorts of people,
1T Is fascinating task to catch the
strains OF heavenly music, and trace
It to g distant source--folding gener-
atipnShy generation back and back to
a Wilderness, where aturdy confident
pioneer begins race, There is tho
music Of destiny on the waste OF a
mighty problsm--mus,c distilled from
the lights Of a new world, and this
music gathers new notesalons the diff
ferent generations, more and moro
music Ia dlstilled, until at last II bios
SONS into articulate and imperative
melody, The unuttered music OF q
race Is gathered and expressed by an
individual.
Richard Booker sailed from Eng

from which he sailed that he con-
uuered-that homo and happiness and
divine melody exist In Virginia.
