GUEST ROOM MADE REsrfUL
One Hostess Insists on Harmony In
Color, Even to the Tint Of the
Soap Used.


A hostess who is noted for her con-
genial week end parties, which are
given all through the summer at a
delightful country house out on Long
island, makes a practice of picking up
her guestroom soaps while in Paris on
shopping bent early in May. There
is something about the delicate. elu-
sive fragrance of a French soap which
no American made soap seems to emu
late, and though, of course, the French
varieties cost a good deal more, the
distinction impaired to a guestroom
in this manner is incontestable.
This particular hostess selects four
kinds Of soap, in four colors to har-
monize with her various guestroons,
done in rose pink. pale green, pale
hostess debars as too chilly and aus
tere for a bed chamber. The four
soaps selected are violet, rose cylamen
and verveine. The violet soap is in a
beautiful shade of lavender, the rose
soap in pink, the cyclamen in white
and the verveine in delicate green
Each soap has the fragrance of the
flower 1t typifies and on one side
of the cake is stamped the name OF
the flower.
This hostess keeps also in each
guestroom a dainty silk kimono and
inexpensive, heelless kid boudoir slip
pers in the color of the room. so that
the overnight or weekend guest who
brings only suitcase is provided with
a pretty negligee for breakfast in her
room.

A Novel Plan.

The problem of the married man who
squanders his earnings on whisky while
his wife sews and takes in washing TO
support the family has been considered
from various angles by philanthropists.
scholars, humanitarians and industrial
economists. but probably the m ost
unique solution advanced is the follow
ing somewhat cynical plan proposed by
a Florida editor:
ITO the married man who feels that
he can't get along without the aid OF
drink, We would suggest the following:
Start saloon in your own home.
BE the only customer. You will have
no licensesto pay. Go to your wife end
give her 81 to buy a gallon of whisky
and remember there are sixty-two drinks
in one gallon.
Buy your drinks from no one but
your wife, and BY the time the first gal
lon is gone she will have So to put in the
bank and 81 TO start business on again.
Should you live ten years and con-
tinue TO buy boose from her and then
die with snakes in your boots she will

Confederate monuments in the state,
and others are yet to be erected. A
home for ex-Confederate soldiers is
maintained at Jacksonville. Last year
the state appropriated $4,000 to the
Confederate soldiers home in this
city. Two Confederate monuments
have been erected here, and monu-
ment may be dedicated to the Women
of the Confederacy during the coming
reunion.
This brief exposition of the work
that Florida is doing for the ex-Con-
federate soldiers, living and dead, is
proof that the people of the state VIII
extend a warm and generous welcome
to the old soldiers and their friends
on the occasion of the Jacksonville
reunion Florida, while situated far
South of the great theater of war OF
1S61-'65, felt the shock of the conflict.
Jacksonville was occupied four differ
emit times by the federals. The pur-
poses of this occupancy, according to
official reports on file in archives OF
the War Department, were to keep
the st. Johns river open from its
mouth to the head of navigation and
to arm the negroes for service in the
Union Army. The small Confederate
force in East Florida in1S63 was COM
manded by Gen. Joseph Finegan. On
March Is, 1868, Gen. Finegan issued a
proclamation here in which he said:
Il feel it my duty as brigadier-gen-
eral commanding this district to in
form the people of the district and of
the state that our inscriptions enemy
has landed a large force of negroes,
under command of white officers, at
Jacksonville, under cover of gunboats.

so as to make it secure against at
