ANECDOTES or GEN. SHERMAN
Stories Of Western Commander Told

William Tecumseh Sherman was q

them. That he knew when to relax
discipline in particular cases without
destroying 1t in general is Indicated
by the following story told by H. t.
Buckley, resident of Chicago. Mr..
Buekley's story Is as follows:
Phillip Wooster was a prominent
man in Kankakee at the beginning OF
the war. He organized company of
cavalry, of which he was captain,
though he was about 20 years of age,
and his troopers became Company X

was struck by the girls beauty. That evening
he sought her out second time. He was
touched and f1attered by the romantic interest
she showed in his person and his cause. The
beautiful girl stuck in his mind He felt as If
he had always known her. He knew that he
would meet her again.
Eugene felt the same mysterious attrec tion.
"Ah, would that 1 could help shim!" She
thought of the lonely prince and his rsRv

Paris as an open secret At the moment OF
the coup d'etat she fairly burned with anxiety.

His love at first sight for Eugene was soon

Napoleon soon found the uselessness of

foreigner.
Yet he felt-he knew-that she loved him

the girl, and his heart swelled with love and
pride and admiration of her. Once Eugene

CHANGING FURNITURE
ABOUTIS DELICIOUS AND
INEXPENSIVE PLEASURE
BY RUTH CAMERON.

I've been meditating to-day on the sur
prising amount of pleasure to be gotten
by juggling about a few pieces of wood:
in other words, rearranging the furni-
ture in a room.
The spring fever. the call CT the red
gods, the spring passion for change and
wandering is strong in your blood some
morning, and as II is impossible for
you to find an outlet in travel you are
forced to seek vent for these feelings
in activities in the home. Consequent
ly. 1t being the morning to clean the
living room, you promptly decide that
that room has remained in status quo
too long. and forthwith you advance upon
1t and proceed to try out your old
knowledge of Formulation and combi-
nation with the amount CT floor space
and wall space and the pieces OF furni-
ture for your algebraic quantities.
Happily you find the sum much easier
than in your student days and visible
objects much simpler to deal with than
paper and elusive X. Y. rs.
You begin, OF course, by sitting on the
couch, surveying the scene and taking
stock of those exasperating pieces of
furniture that for some inherent reason
simply cannot be shifted around The
desk must stay right there between the
two windows because that is the only
good light. and the secretary can't be
moved because IL Is the only piece of

HAVE THE CORSET
FITTED TO FIGURE
Never Wear One Too Heavy
or Too Long.

"All the clothes in the universe would
not avail me anything II my figure were
bad" says a woman noted for her care
full gowning. and it would be we'll for
more women to study this question of
the corset.
Not all of US may have our stays made
to measure, it is true. but we may help
matters by having our ready-made cor
sets fitted to our figures. and properly
adjusted. This any good shop is glad
and willing to do.
Never make the mistake of wearing
a corset that is too heavy-nor one that
Is too long. True, the woman OF en-
bonpoint must resort to more heroic
measures than her slim sister. but even
she should not go to extremes nor ruin
her health by cramping her flesh.
II one is to be graceful. there must
be a certain freedom of movement-and
this can never be when the stays are
too tight or long.
or more strings-and should be laced or
adjusted freshly for each wearing. When
woman tells you that she never un-
does her corset strings" do not regard
her with any especial merit. She doesn't
deserve II.
The well-groomed woman takes the
time and trouble every day to adjust her
corset lacers. She does not lace" nor
pull her strings too tightly, but she does
fit her stays to her figure and fasten
them properly at each wearing And il
surely pays in the end.

MARQUISEfTE ISM
GREAT DEMAND

That jfilmy. gauzy fabric, marquisette,
is greatly in demand this season for
dainty little afternoon and evening
blouses.
Frequently the blouses follow the win
ter modes and are made in the peasant
blouse fashion-with the tight little XII
mono sleeves, which have been SO pop
ular.
Often, too, these new blouses are col
larless, or made with the round low
necks that so many women find becom-
ing.
Colored embroidery is frequently en-
ployed to decorate these waists-coral,
cerise, lavender. blues, and black being
the more effective. On white these colors
stand out boldly and strikingly as one
may imagine.

Daily Fashion Talk for Herald Readers
FRENCH JEWELRY
is MUCH IN VOGUE

Paste Jewels" are no longer relegated
TO the land that lies beyond the foot
lights, for nowadays the so-called French
jewelry is as popular as real gems among
even the most fashionable women.
Every month brings forth new wonders
of cunningly wrought brooches and PEN
dants of quartz, crystal. enamel or the
semi-precious stones. and all the art Of
the jewelers. is now centered upon the
delicate traceries of plated gold that sur
round these novel ornaments.
Quaint handwrought finger rings, shirt
waist sets, and pendants all must match
f girl would be in style these days,
while long coat chains from which
hang enameled vanity boxes cffer sug-
gestions for carrying out the touch of
color that appears in milady's hat and
blouse.
BE Sure that They Match.
One thing must be remembered. how
ever, in selecting such articles, that is,
that everything must match.
If the brooch that is caught in the soft
frill Of the blouse is set with blue stones
to match the touch OF blue in the hat,
the coat chain and the belt buckle must
have the same stones, for the only charm
of these semi-precious gems is their
ability to blend into a color scheme and
enable a girl to have full sets Of
jewels for every costume.
Charming Eject.
Even the long drop earrings now come
to match these different gems. and the
effect is both artistic and charming with
a light suit.
The vogue for black and white has
also. by the way, entered into the de-
signs OF the makers of French jewelry.
and some exquisite little pendants are
now shown in black enamel with a de-
sign in silver and a thread-like border
Of vivid enamel aoout the edge.

There is always sure TO come a time
when a plain waist IS needed, and when
made OF fine flannels, French or Scotch.
or of some of the figured challies. or of
allover embroidery. the plain models show
the material better than do more elabo-

The waist pictured IS OF the utmost
simplicity. The opening is in band down
the center Of the front. In the back there
is a yoke, which extends across the
shoulders and a little over the front of
the waist. The neck IS finished with a

THE CANARY
OWNERS is LIKELY TO MEET
By EDWARD s. SCHMID.

Broken legs or wings should be left for
nature to heal Take all perches out of
the cage and put soft flannel in the
bottom.
Swollen or sore feet are often caused by
not keeping enough gravel in the bottom
Of the cage; not supplying bathing water
regularly, or not having the proper size
perches for the bird.
To effect a cure, supply gravel and
proper perches first. then wash the birds
feet carefully in lukewarm water, and,
after you have dried them, battle in tine
ture OF arnica, three parts of water, con-
tinuing the use of diluted arnica till well.
II very inflamed, use half and half.
Use Salve on Head.
Bare places on the head should be
rubbed with a salve made of fresh butter
and sulphur.
Overgrown nails, though not a disease,
often cause the birds death, as he Is apt
to hang or get entangled in the wires Of
the cage, and thus suffer a painful death.
Take the birds claw between your thuniS
and finger, and cut of the superfluous
part OF the nails with sharp scissors. Be
careful not to bleed the bird. while 1t
would not kill him, II would cause much
suffering.
Lice on birds-When you notice your
bird continually restless and picking him.

troubled with lice, unless 1t be in the
molting season. The surest way to find
out if parasites trouble the bird Is to put
a white cloth around the cage on retiring
at night; take 1t of very early in the
morning and IL the bird has lice you will
see them on the cloth. Use bird lice des-
troyer-a powder which may be applied
directly to the bird. This will not harm
him In the least; but will Danish all YER
min from the cage, red ants as well as
lice. The powder should be applied to
the cage as well as the bird.
To Destroy Lice.
Fill all the crevices about the cage with
powder. put some among the gravel at
the bottom OF the cage, repeat every two
or three days until the bird is relieved:
in another part Of the room After
week or ten days hang the bird back In
his usual place. Be sure to remove the
ring at the top Of the cage and wash
with cold water frequently as this IL the
breeding place for lice.
Learning to Battle.
Birds that have been confined In small
cages for some time win not, when they
are transferred to large ones. readily take
to bathing dishes. seeming not to know
their object. and often using the drink
ing vessels for the purpose. After q while.
however. they win learn to use bathing
