Loqbook of the Monitor.

The original logbook of the famous
Monitor, covering the period of her
engagement with the Confederate iron
clad Merrimac, in Hampton roads, on
March 8, 1862, has been given to the
navy department to be preserved
among it's historic records. The
restoration of the log to the depart
ment was due to Capt. Louis Stodder
of the United States revenue cutter
service, now living in Brooklyn, N Y.
and an officer on the Monitor during
her entire service.
For years he has treasured the log
among his most valuable possessions.
but as old age advanced he desired to
see it placed where its preservation
might be assured. Hence it was that
he forwarded it to the library of the
navy department.

LACE FLOWER PINS LIKED
Dainty and Charming Idea Is One OF
the Best That Has Appeared
This Season.

The latest in dainty and charming
pins for wear on collars and cuffs Is
lace flower crocheted around an or
binary small safety pin. The flower
is usually in violet form, though In
white, and stands out stifiy from the
pin.
When crocheted to violet pin, 1t
may be used to fasten jabots of flow
ers. and it is just as pretty, though not
quite so new, as applied to the hat pin.
A set of these lovely white lace pins
three for collar, two for cuffs-two
hat pins and two sticks pins would be
prettiest present bride or traveller
to Europe ever received.
The bar Of the safety pin Is crochet
ed over and over to hide the steel. In

Angela, having lived in a rose-col-
bred atmosphere all her life, could
not understand why Edwin should not
give her pink pearl for an engage
ment ring.
But, dearest" her mother argued,
Edwin Is poor mani"
No man is too poor to buy the
right kind of ring for the girl he is
going to marry
Angela's mother, who had worked
in factory when she was young.
and had known what it was not to
have any rings at all, shook her
head
you can't understand, darling; you
never have been poor"
IF | were poor" said Angela, II
would live in cottage with roses
around it, and bake cakes for Edwin"
At that Angela's mother sighed, for
she knew that poverty is not thing
of roses and Of sweet cakes, but of a
struggle for dry bread without any
butter on it.
Il have sometimes wished" she be-
gan, and stopped.
"What?" Angela demanded.
THAT you had fallen in love with
a rich man." her mother sighed, ''you
have always had everything you
wanted-and it won't be easy for you
to go without"
"You think l am just child"
Angela ragged, with her blue eyes
flashing, "and so does Edwin-I-1
think you are dreadful"
And she sobbed as if her heart
would break.
Of course, she got the pink pearl,
for her mother spoke to Edwin tact
fully. angela loved pearls she
said, land l have some unset ones
which can sell to you cheaply--they
won't cost any more than any other
ring"
Edwin protested. In his heart he
felt that he wanted to buy a little
circlet of turquoises, which would

match Angela's eyes. He could have
afforded such ring, and he would
not have had the bargain-counter
feeling which oppressed him when
he accepted the offer of his future
mother-in-law.
He gave Angela the pink pearl and
she was happy. He did not tell her
where he had bought it. Her mother
had asked him not to tell.
Angela is such baby" she had
said, land it might spoil her pleas
ure."
That Edwin's pleasure was spoiled
did not trouble her. She thought only
of her daughter, whose wishes had
never been denied.
The incident of the pink pearl was
one of many others. Angelas mother
put her money at the disposal of the
young people. She was diplomatic,
and when Edwin suggested the buy
ing of a cottage she offered the land
for the site, she furnished it and fin
ished it until all of it's simplicity
was lost She chose an exclusive
neighborhood, and when the young
couple moved in they found them
selves the center of wealthy circle
of neighbors.
And in the midst of all the luxury
Angela pinned. She grew pale and
thin and languid, until her mother
and Edwin were alarmed.
''She must go away" the mother
told the young husband. but Edwin
shook his head.
What Angela needs" he said, sis
to feel that she means something in
the world. There are so many idle,
unhappy wonderland somehow I be-
lieve that Angela is more of a wom-
an than we will let her be. We cod
die her, and wrap her up in cotton
wool because we love her, but she is
a woman with all woman's right to
make home Should we keep on
making a baby of herr"
But what" the mother demanded,
can we do?"
Let us try an experiment. Edwin
said. Let her think you have lost
your money, that we must all go
away from here to the old farm, and
I will come back and forth on the
train-we will see how she stands
real life"
"But she Is such baby"
"She is woman" Edwin insisted.

Golden Mirrors.

1t is now possible, by the Cowper-
Cowles process, to provide glass mir
rors coated with a film of gold for
the refectors of automobiles. Hither-
to only glaring white refectors have
been employed with lens mirror pro-
jectors, and it is said that the gold
mirrors not only afford a more agree
able light. but one which possesses
greater penetrating power in fogs. An
other Improvement in automobiles is
the substitution of horns that emit
harmonious sounds, instead of the
shrieks, groans and grunts of the
ordinary apparatus used for warn
ing pedestrians to look out for their
lives.

IN THE HOUSE OF GOVERNORS

William George Jordan has been appointed
secretary of the house Of governors. His selec-
ton by the governors is recognition of his
ices as the founder of this unique institution.
which Is likely to become ultimately an official
feature of the government. Mr. Jordan proposed
the idea several years ago. 1t was Immediately
adopted by President Roosevelt and confer
ence Of governors called at Washington to
consider the conservation of national resources.
The results of the conference important
that the governors on their own initiative called
meeting to discuss plans for greater uniformity
in state legislation. At that conference it was
decided to make the house of governors per-
manent institution and a resolution passed

Detachable Hatpins.

The solution of the problem as to
the length of the hatpin has nnally
been found. An English jeweler has
devised a hatpin set, consisting of
three pins of varying lengths, and
eight heads, each of different color
of mother-of-pearl or glass, so that all
sizes and shapes of hats can be suited.
The idea is splendid one, and one
can foresee it's popularity.
