II Is believed that had Grant pushed
ahead in a compact formation he could have
accomplished his purpose. The roads were
bad and the rainy season had set In;
therefore he thought it the better part OF
valor to return to Memphis and take
charge Of the Mississippi expedition in per
son. The severing of his communications
included the cutting of the telegraph lines,
and thus delayed the delivery of his mes
sage TO McClernand. on the way back to
Memphis he received his instructions In
the art of feeding an army from an
enemy's storehouse. which he and sherman
made excellent use Of later. for he was
without supplies from his stores for two
weeks.
In the mean time, sherman, having failed

message from Washington which read:

must be considered in this connection On the other hand prices for making gowns are steadily growing higher. The question seems to resolve itself to this Does a woman prefer a few
 gowns made without much trouble to herself. or does she prefer or must she have many costumes. and is she willing to take some of the work of getting them on her own shoulders?
 There are few women not trained in the business who are able to turn out an entire gown that can stand compari- son with a professionally made gar
 ment, but most women can dc well
 some of the sewing on a gown. Some
 women can manage a pattern and cut
 out, although they cannot put togeth-

LATEST COIFFURES.

The coiffures of the moment are undergoing a change and many pretty head dresses are combined to suit the latest modes. This season will show a picturesque style slightly different from the favorite Greek mode. although 1t rather resembles it, says the Chicago Record Herald. Among the artistic cultures exhibited is one in which the hair Is cunningly draped in an undulat- -ng fashion so as to cover the ears. A band or wide gold fillet. embroidered in silver. encircles the head and beneath this. at the nape of the neck. ara placed one or two Curls which droop carelesslv. The crown of the head is only slightly raised and shows tendency to some what lower coiffure than has been the fashion for some time past The hair Is not mounted upon the crown a la Greque. and is a decided change from what has been fashionable for so long BandeauX of bright galoOn, studded with colored stones and drapeu rib bon, finishing in front with an enor- nous stone Wrom which isan upstand- ing oriental ornament, are favorite ev- ening cultures.
