Gift For Baby.

Babies always need bibs, and 1t is
easy to make these. They may be
plain ones or fancy. finished with en-
broidery lace or feather-stitching; but
an important point to remember when
making bib is to fit a pad of absor-
bent cotton under the outer-covering,
else the moisture from the little ones
mouth will soak through and ruin the
dainty frock underneath.
A FELLOWSHIP is also nice gift for
baby. 1t may be made of fine linen,
embroidered on each end with dain-
ty spray of blossoms. This should
cover small down pillow.
Another idea is bassinette or car.

rated with garlands of daisies or rose
buds worked in natural colored floss.
To make the cover still more elabo-
rate. crochet lace nedallions may be
inserted in the center of each garland.

Three TYpes of GOWNS.

There are three separate and dis
tirct types Of evening gowns this sea-
son, and every new dinner gown par
takes of one or the other of these
types. There is the classic type, with
sinuous, winding draperies ending in
narrow train. There is the debu-
tante type (worn by every woman who
believes she looks best in girlish ef-
fects), which has flounces on the skirt
and usually a sash knotted around the
waist. And there is tie pannier type.
which is gay and chic and eminently
Parisiou, with its puffed-out or looped-
over drapery and skirt short enough
to reveal coquettish little satin slip
pers with high heels and sparkling
buckles, or the pretty buttoned boots
of satin, which do make the foot and
ankle adorably slim and distinguished.

Taffeta tho FavorIte.

Taffeta is perhaps more used than
any other kind of silk for this sea-
sons little coat, though the soft satins
stubbornly retain their popularity
here as elsewhere In fashions realm.
Many OF the costumes sent over by
the best Partisan designers show fam
ciful little coats associated with one
piece frocks. In the more conservative
models the coat is in the same tone
as the frock, though It is likely to be
in contrasting material; but perhaps
more frequently the coat contrasts in
color with the frock, though its color
may find an echo in some trimming

First apply good cold cream, then

the powder evenly distributed, max

Appomattox.
Appomattox

General Longstreet in command, Cen
eral G0rdon's division became hard
pressed by the enemy and called on
Longstreet for assistance. Not being
able to furnish it at the time, Long
street sent his inspector general, Major
r. NJ. Simms, to suggest to Gordon the
sending Of flag Of truce to the Fed
erals requesting a suspension of hos
t1l1t1es pending the interview between
Lee and Grant.
Used Towel as Flag.
Following this suggestion, Gordon at
once dispatched Simms to the Federal
commander, Sheridan, with this re-
quest. As Major Simms galloped to-
ward the lines of the Federals he
searched his haversack for something
white to cover his advance, but found
only a towel. This he drew out and
waved above his head as he approach
cd the enemy. The Union soldiers
caught sight of the white towel, held
their fire, and under this 1mprovised
flag Simms was allowed to enter the
Whitaker and taken to General Gus
ter, who was in command Of that part
Of the field. Neither Of these officers,
however, cared to declare temporary
cessation of hostilities just then, feel
ing that they had the advantage of the
fight and held the southern army at
their mercy.
So Simms was obliged to return to
his own lines without accomplishing
his purpose. He left the truce towel
In the hands Of Colonel Whitaker,
who took half of it and gave the other
portion to General Custer. It was only
shortly after the incident just men-
toned that Sheridan and Gordon met
and established a temporary truce
which held until the conference be-
tween Grant and Lee terminated the
war.

Of war relics is little oval table of

dan and given to General Custer as a
present for his wife. General Sheri-
