Fifty years ago today Mai. Gen. James
A. Garfield resigned his commission in
:he army and began his political career
at Washington, which was to end in the
Presidency in 1881.
Gen. Garfield's military career had be-
come so closely allied to that of Gen.
w s. Rosecrans to whom Garfield was
chief of staff, that when the failure of
the Chiekamauga campaign caused the
removal of Gen. Rosecrans from COM
mand of the Army Of the Cumberland,
on Oct 19, Garfield felt that the time
was opportune for his own retirement
from military life.
His success had been conspicuous, and
few volunteer officers had fairer pros
poets OF advancement than he; but a
public career backoned him, and he did
not resist its call His election to Con-
gress followed his return from the front

Garfield went To Washington, the city

advancement to high honors.

some one invented to wear this summer

copied by the tailors- II is nothing more

At Deauville, at Vichy. at Dinard these

shoulder. and later they were adopted in
Paris for cloth suits. They are made of
fur now, but more especially of gay
colored cloth or velvet or silk. A coat

Across the broad. sidewalk she picks
her way, men and women taking a

wearing. the gloves that cover her hands
and arms, the hat that adorns her head.
the stockings they see little or much Of
according to how she holds her skirt. and
the gemmed slippers or shoes which cover
her feet. She is superbly proportioned
and everything she wears fits her to
perfection. She knows colors and never
wears anything that does not harmonze
With her hair, her complexion, her type
OF woman. She knows how to carry her
self. No other woman would look so
well in the clothes she wears.
As she goes through the shop she bows
once to the right and once to te left
Those two bows take in all the en-
ployes of the store. In the rear of the
room there Is a private elevator which
takes her to bijou office on the floor
above. There maid takes her hat, her
gloves. her parasol. and, if she happens
to have one with her, her cloak. That
done, she seats herself at satinwood
desk and a secretary lays a sheaf of
papers before her. While she glances
over these papers, he stands, notebook in
hand alongside smaller desk on which
he has placed a wire tray piled high
with papers.
The woman reads rapidly Occa asionally
she makes a note with jeweled pencil
on the sheet she is reading. Usually it
Is brief and expressive of approval or
disapproval Occasionally she calls for a
letter and the secretary fishes it out of
the tray. She reads it carefully and If
so disposed, dictates an answer which
the secretary takes in shorthand.
II takes nearly an hour to go through
the mass of reports letters and state
ments. despite the fact that a digest of
all the letters and reports has been made
by the secretary to facilitate her work.
When she has read the last letter, or
dictated the last reply, the cashier en-
ters and lays before her such matters as
require her attention. Generally he has
n batch of checks for her signature. She
|.eoes over the accounts with him and
gives instruction as to credits and to the
polite efforts to be made to bring de-
lnuuents to liduidate their accounts.
Next she sees the superintendent
