When they arrived at the river Sun

the spear and led Singing Water down

they found the old chief sitting on his
horse in the bed Of shallow stream
flowing between two rocks which he

The Indians had so long been used
| to considering Sunface as superhuman
| that the awe inspiring sight of the old
man sitting on his horse, rigid. his
spear poised, his eyes fixed upon their
leader, brought them to sudden halt.

and the weapon rebounded from the
rock at the right. Selling anoth-
err spear, Snake-in-the Hole hurled 1t
again, only to strike the rock on the

watched the man they took for god

still he moved not Night came. and by

saw the figure still sitting between the
rocks, his eyes open and the reflection
Of the moon in the water striking upon

When midnight came they said that
no mortal could hold spear poised SO

away the shadows and the grim figure
stood out more clearly, Snake-in-the-
Hole was emboldened TO ride forward.
Drawing near, he leaned forward and
peered into the white face. Then he
knew that Sunface was dead.
Rainbow took the maiden across the
river, then went back to his father.
While recrossing the river he met the
Indians in a boat bearing the body OF
his father whom they persisted in con-
sidering god.

under Rainbow.

stern parent:
Dear Sir-It becomes my painful duty to

The stern parent wrote. beneath this
message the following and sent Willie

A PICTURESQUE PERIOD

In 1915 the headdresses became more
and more picturesque, still Of manly
origin, but rendered feminine by flow
ers and feathers, with either band OF
ribbon or strings carried under the
chin. Women then were old early, and
every matron wore net or muslin
cap indoors.
In the twenties bodices were more
shapely and laced at the back. Skirts
widened and just touched the ground.
Folds and rouleaux played their part
In the intricate trimmings Of the eros
de Naples skirts. Throughout the cen
fury brides favored silks, satins and
moires. Up to about 1928 they wore
low bodices for the marriage ceremony.
In 1928 low bodices were rendered
high by means Of lace pelerines and
high ruffies Of lace. Picturesque hats
were worn sideways, the broad brims
bedizened with flowers. They became
pretty In 1920, leading the way to the
style OF 1880. when the side curls were
emphasized by large outstanding bows.

ices, which were then called Canezous,
were the precursors of the modern
blouse.
Between 1910 and 1850, especially in
the latter part of the decade, the fancy
was for elaborate opera cloaks. Many
new fashions in headdresses came in.
and much jewelry was worn. Parasols
were carried on almost all occasions,
and some Of them were gorgeous in
coloring and garniture.
The great novelty Of 1850 was the in
PRODUCTION Of straw and then of drawn
bonnets.
In 1850 women were wearing the
mushroom" hat, in 1864 the ''spoon
bonnet" and in 1865 the pork pie
bonnet.

Diamond Cutters.

At one time the diamond cutters In
dustry was confined almost entirely to
Antwerp. There were in 1870 about
800 diamond cutters in the whole OF
Belgium, but today the number has
grown to 10000, their earnings on the
average being 40 francs week OF
about 30 shillings.-London Globe.

A VExIN0 PROBLEM

How to get rid OF wornout hoop
skirt was problem to its possessor.
Hoopskirts were discarded by the ash
men. If thrown into the gutter they
would get into the streets and entangle
the feet Of horses. They could not be
destroyed by fire, for after the tapes
and coverings were burned the wires
remained to perpleX the owner. A Bos-
ton man once wrote story In which
he attributed the fall of the Confeder-
acy to an old hoopskirt. Probably he
had tried to destroy one and so believ-
ed In the depravity of inanimate things.
A Boston woman, speaking Of this
subject, declared that "the Back Bay
was filed in with hoopskirts, tomato
cans and paper collars"
While 1912 Is not without extreme
fashions, the tendency is toward quite
conservative ideas in dress. The illus
tration shows both the extreme and
conservative models Of the present pc
Rod. Here and there in every center
of fashion this Easter one will see
some ridiculous creations in clothes
and hats, but probably these exaggera-
lions will not be so daring as one In
which New York woman appeared
several years ago. She conceived the
idea of having the large white feath-
ers of her bonnet curledt into the SEM
bIance Of letters spelling the word
Easter.
Looking back over the fashion
plates one sees that when gowns as
sumo the greatest immensely Of form
bonnets and hats diminish and when
skirts are scanty and clinging the bon
nets and hats grow apace.

CIVIL WAR DANDlES

In 1868 and 1864 it was common
occurrence to see man arrayed in
brown coat, purple waistcoat and
french blue trousers-a combination of
colors that would cause riot IL they
were worn today.
In 1866 the derby hat was intro
duced, previous to which time every
man to be well dressed must wear the
tai beaver hat, often called a stovepipe.
the extreme height and shape sug-
costing the idea of a piece of stovepipe.
Between 1865 and 1869 milady's bon
net disappeared. An eminent preach
err of that time exclaimed in the pulpit,
81 have been requested to demonstrate
against the ridiculous fashion of the
ladies' bonnets, but really when look
over this audience l cannot see any
bonnets"
Then came the milliners' deformities
Of 1875 and 1876. Skipping along. we
come to the tight sleeves of 1890. They
soon gave place to the huge ones, and
in 1895 the cabinet photograph was
usually taken held horizontally to al
low room for the sleeves, IL head and
shoulders alone were to be shown.
"WlNoED WONDER"
This revolution In style created quite
a sensation. If the fichu were removed
from the gown of 1890 1t would have
looked far more In place In 1900 than
would the winged wonder Of 1895, -
as some men called the huge sleeved
gowns of that period.
The clinging, trailing gown was In
quite as marked contrast with the puff
ed and bunchy effect Of the styles of
1895.
The Easter sunbonnet came in with
1897 for the use of matrons and maids
of artistic proclivities. The next year
the little maid also wore the sunbon-
net, and many patterns were offered
for 1t.
At the close of the nineteenth CEN
fury dress had reached the height of
emininity--unsuited, perhaps. to the
practical life OF the hour-the skirts
impeding freedom of movement, the
collars hiding ears, corsets often re-
tarding respiration, but the delicacy
and beauty OF undergarments being
In marked contrast to the shapeless
vestments of long ago.

~ Sunday, 1912, are following a
custom lost in the haze Of an
tiquity In fact, whether we know 1t
or not, we are adhering to a very old
superstition. From the earliest times
it was considered lucky to wear new
clothes at Easter. The Easter display
nowadays, however, is supposed to be
due to the popular conception that East
err, since it marks the passing Of Lent
with it's sackcloth and ashes, brings so
cial freedom and hence new exhibit
Of finery.
Each period since woman began to
deck herself out in gay raiment has
had its own fashions, and some Of them
have been grotesque In the extreme.
Even at so comparatively late a date
as the civil war in the United States
the styles were of sort that would
cause amusement today. In those times
women wore the cumbersome hoop
skirt, as shown in the illustration,
which pictures the wife Of prominent
army officer.

Royal, Reedy Church and the remote
places in the county seat were well
represented.
The meeting was tlnally opened at
s O'Clock by Richard l.. Beale. who
made ~ short but vigorous address
in favor of the bond issue. Mr.. Beale
read a letter from Henry w. Ander-
son, president of the Richmond Wash
iugton Highway association. in which
Mr.. Anderson regretted his inability
to be present, but assured the people
of Caroline county that If the bond
issue was voted for the Richmond
Washington highway would surely
pass through Caroline county.

Mr. Beale then introduced Lee j.
Graves, of Spotsyvania county. Mr.
Graves pointed out what hsa-baes4
done In Stafford county. where
100000 bond Issue had been passed.
He wanted to know Il Caroline coun-
ty was going To fall behind stafford
county. Then he stated that In Spot
sylvania county two townships had
voted $1,000 each for good roads,
Is Of Caroline was but $4,000.
Mr.. Graves stated that with good
roads land value had increased from
80 to 100 per cent IN SpotsyiYaniA
county.
Good roads mean increased pros
perity: they mean less wear anu tear
on your wagons: they mean longer
lives for your mules" said Mr.
Graves, at which there was laughter
and applause.
Il know Caroline county mules are

Then MIR. Graves gave few sta
tistics. He said that virginia coun-
ties had raised $4,000. 600 in the last
four years for road Improve ments.
