MONOTONE ROOM
Is LATESTFAD

Great strides have been made in the
way OF home furnishing on a modest
scale by the fashion for rooms IN one
color This fad, encouraged by the up
holstery departments in the shops. has
grown to such proportions that now even
the tiny fiat. furnished on the instalment
plan for honeymooners of humble rank,
has its brown or its green color scheme,
and rugs, wall paper. draperies. and fur
niture make a restful and pleasing har-
mony instead of the clashing dIscord once
evolved with flamboyant colorings, cheap
gildings, and meretriciously bright wood
work.
But that this all-in-one-color idea may
be carried too far is proved by many
stereotyped and monotonous interiors in
which everything, II is true, matches per-
fectly. but in which there is little indi-
viduality and less cheer. A brown living
room, for instance, may be a good deal
too brown to be charming. and a room
done in green may be positively gloomy
If the greens are too solid and too dark
Orange shades, cream, and a very little
judiciously introduced blue will lift the
brown room into distinction and home
likeness, and rose shades will warm the
otherwise grotta-cool green interior.
Happy harmony OF color is a sixth sense
with some women. but women who do
not possess it should consult the expert
enced decorator on the stan OF every

son, whose advice is free to all making
purchases in the department, will cheer

problems about rugs, draperies, and wall
coverings. Sometimes the mere addition
of a definite color in a soft pillow win
change the color atmosphere of q whole
room and will form the keynote Of the
whole color scheme.

Stockings should not be washed In the
same water which has been used in wash
ing white clothes, as they are apt In
that case to become covered with lint.
When starching children's pinafores
add small piece OF sugar to the boiled
starch. This will make them iron more
easily, and leave a beautiful gloss on
them.
When using stale bread for puddings
always soak 1t in a cold liquid. Bread
that has been soaked in cold milk or
water is light and crumbly, whereas that
soaked in hot liquids is heavy.

ing the siege, and only the presence of
Shermans troops was needed to COM
piete his combinations.
The situation of Chattanooga, in a
gap in the mountains, had made the
siege a simple process for the Confed-
crates. under Gen. Braxton Bragg. By
drawing their lines in a semicircle in
front Of the town, along Missionary
Ridge, and across the valley of Chat
tanooga Creek, they had shut the Fed
erals up in the place without being
able to invest it completely. The high
mountain ranges north and west of
the city, and the curving Tennessee
River south of it, completed the circle.
To communicate with the outside world
the Federals had been obliged to climb
the mountains to the nearest point on
the Tennessee to the west not COM
manded by the Confederates from its
south bank
This for a time was Bridgeport, Ala,
which, though but twenty-five miles
away. as the bird flies, could be reached
only by a ride of fifty miles over the
mountains.

ment of a steamer line on the river

brought up food for the army, made

LURE OF WEALTH
FASCINATES WOMEN
Female Pioneers in Alaska and Can.
ada Show >Indomiiable
Courage.
BY FRANCES sHAFFER.

That the promise Of wealth, the allure
ment OF its pursuit. and, perhaps, the
nnal fascination of the stern climate It.
self. have drawn thousands OF American
men to Alaska, even to Canada, is not
more than passing strange; but that
women. hundreds OF them. have closed
the door upon the fairer Eastern coun-
try and the luxurious Eastern life. makes
some Of us marvel at the indomitable
courage and pluck Of daring womanhood.
We have grown so attached to the beat
en- paths Of ease and culture that those
who stray into harder, broader fields
seem to exhibit a special brand of cour-
age.
| Not all Of these women accompanied
husbands and fathers. together to cast
In their lot with this new country; many
OF them went alone, depending upon
their own resources. their own labor to
draw from that growing empire all IL
mas TO offer In the way Of gold and other
wealth.
Their work In that great Northern
country Is as diversified as their spirits
are unninching to perform It They are
expert miners, physicians. trappers,
farmers, storekeepers. they are mission
aries teachers, even reindeer farmers
Housekeepers, homekeepers? Yes; and
remembering the wretched stories Of the
| early days IN the Klondike and the Yukon
districts, when men seemed to forget the
traditions and refinements of Eastern
civilization and Eastern training, we
gladly take OF our hats to their accom-
plishments In this direction:
IL Is Immensely satisfying and a last
ing tribute to wornan's influence to1earn
that camps hitherto lacking In practically
everything which makes for even a bare
semblance Ct right living have been
transformed into hcmes, with their fun
significance
Some Of these pioneer women have
taken courses In mining schools: some
are the products OF technical institutes,
and though not burdened with an ex-
cess OF capital, they have knowledge,
an unfailing fund of perseverance,, a fair
legacy Of clear minds, and healthful
bodies-and they are making good"
The prospect does not invite most of
Us but It is perfectly safe to say that
those who have answered the call are
made OF the stun from which heroes are
bred and are not likely to become
dWarfed by a narrowed scope Of activi-
ties.
One might suppose that this life, with
Its hardships, its privations, and what
seems Its unbeautiful outlook, would
draw from the natural womanliness Of
those who share its rigors: but the fact
that they remain true TO themselves and
the best that is in them is added proof
that We can make or mar ourselves ac-
cording to our own innate heights OF am
oition or dearth Of longing for the good
in everything"
Instead Of reaching down to the low
level Of life they found, these women,
some not over-educated. some cultured,
all purposeful. have followed their ideals,
If not to fulhllment at least faithfully
ana with no mean measure OF success.

Sherman's Boat Journey.
sherman's part in the plan of battle
was to be simple to grasp and hard to
execute. He was to bring his troops
over the mountains from Bridgeport into
the valley west of Lookout Mountain,
and thence move the bulk of them
secretly and swiftly across the river and
around the town to the north, there
again to cross the river, to a position
from which they could advance against
the extreme right of the enemy's lines,
at the north end of Missionary Ridge.
Hooker was to advance simultaneously
over the shoulder Of Lookout Mountain.
while the Army OF the Cumberland was
to attack Missionary Ridge.
Sherman, feeling the Importance OF his
part in the great drama thus to be
staged, lost no time in starting back for
Bridgeport to bring up his troops.
When he arrived at Kelly's the
steamer that had brought him was gone
Night was coming on To attempt to
cross the mountains was tmpracticable
A small boat, rough and clumsy. was
manned by four soldiers and in this
General Sherman started at nightfall for
Bridgeport, thirty miles below, as the
river turned.
The men were unaccustomed to rowing
and made slow progress. The night was
dark and cold and there was danger at
every turn, for Confederate guerrillas
and sharpshooters ranged the south bank
Of the stream.
Whenever a man Jagged at the oars
from Weariness General Sherman took
his oar. Thus the boat reached She'll
mound, halfway to Bridgeport, al mid
night Here a fresh crew was obtained
and the boat kept on, reaching Bridge
port at daylight
Troops March Slowly.
ShermaIfs advance columns had now
reached that point by great exertions,
after a zig-zag march of nearly $50 miles
from where they had left the railroad,
near Corinth, ninety miles east OF Mem
phis.
They had crossed the Tennessee to its
north bank at Eastport, Miss, on No-
