It is altogether probable that Chatta-
ncoga will be honored during the reunion
with the presence OF Mrs. Woodrow VIII
son. wife of the President, and the Misses
Wilson, notes the Atlanta Journal
1t. is understood that Gen. Bennett
Young, commander-in-chief of the United
Confederate Veterans, is especially desir-
Gus that Mrs. Wilson, a daughter or the
south, and her daughter, or as many of
them as possible, shall attend the re-
union.
The parents of the. Misses Wilson are
both of southern birth, President Wilson
being a native of Virginia, and Mrs. Will
son native of Georgia Their attendance
upon the reunion will add greatly to that
occasion.
lntmation was received that General
Young was desirous that Chattanooga
should second his invitation, and at re-
cent meeting of the general reunion conf
mittee Chairman Ross S. Faxon of the
reception committee, was instructed u
write Mrs. Wilson and the Misses Wilson
a cordial invitation to be present
If the Misses Wilson come, it will be in
official capacity as maids of honor, tc
which they are eligible.
Inc -1nVltatlOn 10 tile 1ieslutht Aaiiii'S
will be seconded personally by members
of the Tennessee delegation at Washing
ton, and by others. and there is little
doubt that it will be accepted.
One of the features of the Chattanooga
reunion will be the presentation of me
federal government through its park com
mission and dedication of the Alabama
monument by the Chclamauga monu-
ment committee of Alabama.
Three especially beautiful features al
the park win be first, the flag raising and
salute; the United states flag, by the
Eleventh cavalry, the Alabama flag by
Governor ONeal and staff, and the Con-
federate flag, by the grandson of Presi-
dent Davis, assisted by the wives or

The best thing that cone can hope to do
with shiny" piece of cloth is to dun II
temporarily. After a little wearing the
garment will again shine. Sponge yoHr
skirts with bluing water. such as is used
to blue white clothes in the laundry
While still damp press through thin mus

tionable gloss is to sponge with hot vine
gar, then with ammonia.
Still third method is to rub the sur

Pumpkin Pie of Eis.st Con,i.tcney

II wonder if you can tell me why my
pumpkin pies are not right in consistency,

is my way Of making them: To one cup
of dry pumpkin ! add one teaspoon of
cornstarch, one-half cup of brown sugar,
one cup of milk one egg, two tablespoons
syrup cinnamon and ginger and a pinch
of salt MRS. ii. c"
Your pie contains too few eggs to give
it the proper custard like consistency.
Moreover, corn starch is not an improve
ment to the custard. Make as follows,
and I think you will find that the result
is worth the increase of cost involved.
