"Do I know her?'
 "She was Miss Molly Randolph" said The Major. Now she Is the widow of George Arlington Brown. I can see her yet the day the troops marched away. She waved an old Confederate flag gaily until we turned the corner. When George thought he was dying at the Battle of the Wilderness he sent for me-to ask me ito tell her.
 And did he die?" asked the girl pa- thetically.
 Not until 15 years later" was the reply. "Few of us know, my child, what Fate has in store for us. Life has way of sending, maybe all in one family, on the long Journey and leaving the one least able to cope with the terrible bat ties. Heigh-o. It's all a mystery"
 The Peach straghtened her rose colored veil and tucked rose-quartz pendant under her pink little chin and buried her nose deep in lovely bunch of pink roses and looked far away into the dis tance as the cab flew on.
 Doesn't it remind you of a boarding school, Major?" said The Peach as she glanced around the pretty reception room at the Octavia White Home, and noted the cozy appearance of its every de- tail. 'I feel as if we were waiting for"
 After all these long years" Miss Mol ly was saying as she held out her lit- tie white hand to The Major. Have a seat and tell me all about yourself"
 The Major introduced the little debu- tante friend who promptly courtesied to Miss Molly very prettily and handed her the lovely nosegay of pink roses.
 '"rhere's nothing much to tell" The Major rejoined. ''I have been living at the place all these years-I'm still a bachelor, and there's really nothing to re- late except the changes the fleeting years bring a
 A mist came over Miss Mollys eyes which seemed sort of contagious, because Tke Peach dropped her eyes and began to study the tiny velvet-tipped toe of her slipper which peeped out from underneath her cinging skirts.
 Several other ladies had come into the reception room by now, and The Peach noticed they were knitting and making 'tatting," and some was busy with ''quit pieces" and she heard snatch about "how pretty Sally Mcguire looked that summer at the Bal Masque at the Virginia watering place and the bitter cold spring of 'G4,' and oh! so many other

| Commenting upon the visit of Presi-
 dent and Mrs. Taft to New York Town
 and Country of this week says:
 President and Mrs. Taft seem to find
 their visits to New York altogether
 pleasant and come and go without any
 noyance from crowds or the public eye I in spite of their popularity. They are to be sure, fortunate in that they en- | joy the privacy of the home of MT. Henry W. Taft, the Presidents broth | CT, but never, were there such dis I tinguishe ed visitors so unafraid of crowds and curiosity. Their arrival I last week was followed by entertain I ing in which many contingents were I interested. The dinner given at the | Hotel Astor on April 27 by the Aero nautical society was one of the func- tions honored by the presence of the chief executive. The several hundred guests assembled in the~big ball room to greet him ranged from the small | boy who had invented successful mod i el aeroplane to Rear Admiral Robert | E. Peary of north pole fame. Presi- dent Taft, with his aid. Major Butt, ar rived about II o'clock, just as Admiral Peary was telling how the north pole would be explored by the flying ma- chine. Everybody joined in singing America" and then President Taft l briefly expressed his appreciation of what has been accomplished in the way of aerial navigation. Mrs. Taft ar l rived with the President and occupied box while he addressed the assem- blaze Mrs. Hudson Maxim, wife of the toastmaster, occupied box and had among her guests Mrs. Peary, Miss Maud Ingersoll, daughter of the late

 and Capt Washington Irving Cham bers.
 Of the great hostelry so much af- fected by southerners who, 1t is said,
 regard their New York much as the
 Indians do the happy hunting ground
 an exchange makes the following com
 ment:
 Canadians and southerners though
 residents of different climes are evi-
 dently of the same mind in regard to
 the Waldorf Astoria. They like the
 cheerful stir of the great hotel. "If |
 went anywhere else," remarked white ,
 haired lady from Atlanta, who has
 visited the Waldorf-Astoria annually

SHAMATEUR

From the New York Tribune.
 There is reason for enthusiasm over a new telescope word that reaches us. most appropriately. from the country of Lewis Carroll, the inventor of the process It has been so.ely needed, as every one will realize the moment he sees 1t in print: "Shamateur." It describes with unsurpassable accuracy class of per sons that VIC have always with us, at the dinner table. in the world of books and ait, at theatre opera and concert, at the horse show and the baseball game, at yacht and boat races. in the motor car and on the aviation field In this day Of shams few of us have the strength of character to abstain from ''shamateur- ing" whatever the company we are in, whatever the subject under discussion At some time or other. if only in tine days of self-oonscious youth, pretty near ly everybody has been lured by circum- stance into hldng his ignorance under a bushel-into being 'shamateur" Still the world applies to chronic rather than to acute cases.

ORIGIN OF SLANG

From the New Ork w OIlu.
 Slang. the German word for snake, oreeps into our language in spite of our vigilance STo illustrate: Some five or six years ago a certain telegraph operator, Joe Lilly, in a large Baltimore office, called up Cincinnati by telegraph, but could not make himself understood, all though he could easily understand the message sent to him. Then he called up other cities with the same result. Evi- dently something was wrong, so he mo- tified the electrician, who, on opening the box containing the transmitting appars- tus, found a bug which in the course of it's wanderlust had short-circuited the machine.
 The other operators gave the victim a horse laugh for having a "bughouse' transmilter. Even the messengers ac- ou9ed each other of being ''bughouse. . and inside of an hour it was flashed from one city to another. But after a while a race of employees sprang up who knew not Joseph, and to these the word bug house. conveyed not much meaning. Could "bughouse" compete with "crazy?' Well, for time "bughouse" had "crazy'' beaten, but reaction set in when some miscreant composed the ditty, "I May Be Crazy, But I Amt No Fool" That rut a quietus on "bughouse"--a consum- nation devoutly to be wished.
