Lineoln's Walk With His Son.

Nothing will better tell what kind of
man Abraham Lincoln was than the
story of walk he one day had with
his little son Tad.
There had been q great war In our
country, one part against another. The
land had been full OF soldiers. Ter
rible battles had been fought. and on
both sides many brave and noble men
killed. This war lasted four years.
But finally Mr.. Lincoln's side won.
But how do you suppose President
Lincoln went to Richmond. the chief
city of the part OF the country which
had yielded? Do you think it was
with banners and drums and music
and soldiers and shouting and hur-
raining?
No. Abraham Lincoln had great
loving heart He did not keep fore
most in his mind how successful his
armies had been. He thought about
the people who had lost their fight He
had no desire at all to have them feel
Inundated.
So he landed at their chief city from
a little steamer that had brought him
down the river from Washington and
walked on through the streets. holding
his little son Tad by the hand. and be-
hind him walked just the few sailors
who had come on the boat with him.
Never before had conqueror come so
simply and lovingly. so like a friend
Is there not a very good reason why
this walk of President Lincoln should
be remembered;

Elegance In Fittings Matched by Lux

Elegance in bathroom appointments
has been followed by luxury in bath
room linen. While styles do not vary
much from season TO season. there are
novelties that may please the taste of
those who are repIenishing their linen.
The latest bathroom towels and the
matching bath mat are OF thick soft
white Turkish toweling. the bath mat
having on the plain linen woven edges
n raised Greek fret border in the towel
ing. The towels have plain ends cross
ed by Turkish weave stripe and hem
stitched ends. The novelty is the in
itials or monograms on both bath mat
and towel, embroidered in terry stitch

stitch resembles the loop of the Turk

For hand towels some prefer those
having scalloped edges with a spray
embroidered scroll motif In a raised
pattern. The scallops are not uniform
In size. three or four OF them making
a deep. leaflike shape. which is repeat
ed across the towel edge from seven 10
ten times. The pattern of the scallops
is made up of rather fine leaves and
small flowers in widening spiral
shape. The toweling is of the same
weave as those with the colored en-
broidery. but is used in white only.
