of his country.

which his regiment took part.
During the Reconstruction Pc
riod he stood shoulder to shoulder
with the brave sons of the South
whom the fortunes of war had
permitted to return home, in re-
deeming the state from the mis-
rule of the alienists who had in
vaded it. He was an Industrious
and frugal man and soon ac-

lighter blue chiffon.
The sleeves were long and narrow,
fitting the arm closely. A wide frill
of net finished these, and fell over
the hand.
The hat designed to complete this
costume was of blue straw, trimmed
with a cluster of black aigrettes.
An uncommonly pretty gown is of
pansy-colored chiffon velvet. The
corsage is of the tunic order and is
cut to come a little longer in front
than at the back.
The sleeves, cut in one piece with
the bodice, were plainly turned back
at the elbow.
A small v-shaped opening finished
the neck line. This was outlined by
a fascinating frill of finely pleated
white net. The bodice was adorned
with small mother-of-pearl buttons
tinted mauve.
Japanese embroidery finished the
beauty of the bodice. This was done
in lovely tones of mauve, rose, red,
powder blue and gold.
Two large hats covered with taf-
feta have underbrims of fine straw.
Most of them are boldly turned up at
one side or in front, and are trimmed
with a Prince of Wales feather.

A LII busy women know the value
q of system, and every busy wom-
= an should systematic her daily
tasks.
In the matter of letter writing
many women are great procrastina-
tors. They persistently leave import
ant letters unanswered until the last
possible moment, and then have to
write a hurried note, often forget
ting to take up important subjects
for discussion.
The best way to do 1t to have one
day or evening set apart for weekly
letter writing. One woman reserves
Tuesday morning for this purpose.
and she allows none but the most
pressing duties to interfere with her
writing.
While reading a letter she will jot
down any particular thing she wants
to mention in the reply on the back
of the envelope, place it in the letter
rack on her desk and when Tuesday
comes has all the weeks correspon-
dence ready for answering before her.
If during the interim of the receipt
and answering of a letter she thinks
of any point she wished to discuss,
that, too, is noted on the envelope.
