GarfieId's Memorial Address.

On the FIRST formal Memorial day, in
1868, the services ut Arlington ceme-
terry were perhaps the most impressive.
The speaker on that occasion was Gen
eral James A. Garfield. who said:
II love to believe that no heroic sac
riflce Is ever lost; that the characters
OF men are nodded and inspired by
what their fathers have done; that
treasured up In American souls are all
the unconscious influences of the great
deeds of the Anglo-Saxon race from
Agincourt to Bunker Hill. Each for
himself gathered up the cherished pur-
poses of life-its aims and ambitions,
Its dearest affections-and flung all.
with life itself, into the scale of battle.
If each grave had voice to tell us
what its silent tenant last saw and
heard on earth we might stand with
uncovered heads and hear the whole
story OF the war. We should hear that
one persisted when the first great drops
of the crimson shower began to fall,
when the darkness of that first disaster
ut Manassas fell like an eclipse on the
tation; that another died of disease
while YEARLY waiting for winter to
end; that this one fell on the field
when the tide Of war shook the dome
OF yonder capitol and re-echoed In the
chambers Of the executive mansion
The voices Of these dead will forever
I'LL the land like holy benedictions.
What other spot so fitting for their last
resting place as this, under the shadow
of the cGoitol saved by their valor?
Here where the grim edge Of battle
Joined. here where all the hope and
fear and agony Of their country cen
tered, here let them rest, asleep on the
nations heart. entombed In the nations

FARM BOYS PLAY MORE
BASEBALL THAN CITY BOYS

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, Hugh S.
Fullerton writes an interesting base
ball article. In the course OF his arti.
Gle he comments as follows on the
popularity of baseball among country
boys:
81 have statistics showing that a
larger percentage of country boys
play the game than of city boys and,
to my astonishment have learned
that as q rule, they are better post
ed on major league baseball than the
average city boy IS. In the cities
the number Of oys who know nothing
OF the game, care nothing for It and
never attend games is surprisingly
large" t-,,...

The Return of the Southern FIs,s.

When 1t was first proposed to return
TO the southern states the Confederate
days which had been captured - the
battles of the civil war the proposition
met with storm Of protest. In 1905 the
flags We're returned, Massachusetts be-
Ing the first to act, though 1t had been
loudest In denunciation when the pro-
posal was advocated by Sumner.
In the following year the command.
er In chief OF the G., a. r., James Tan,
ner, asked in his Memorial day order
that the graves of the soldiers of both
armies should be decorated without
discrimination, saying, "The old flag
has been rebaptized since 1865 with
the blood of the north and the south
alike, and the ship Of state Is securely
anchored for all time"

If hoop skirt sounds far fetched to
you, it's only because you have not
seen the dainty creation masquerad-
Ing under the old name. They are
useful and graceful, these skirts with
the reed, and they are actually going
TO wear them with iilmy frocks this
summer. One store features several
in white and pastel shades of crepe
de Chine with a flexible wire inserted
above deep lace flounce. AS the
skirt measures only two yards where
the wire is placed 1t acts the same
as a stiffly star,hed skirt, without
the bulk and clunsiness. Another
house in the very heart of the shop
ping district, heretofore noted for
its conservativeness has on display a
model Of ribbon and net conspicuous
ly placed in the boudoir window. This
in itself is not a petticoat, but mere
ly a foundation coming to the knee
formed Of shirred piece of net three
inches wide, stiffened on either side
and suspended from waistband with
half inch ribbons.
Significant of the change in under
wear fashions, lingerie petticoats
measure from three to ten yards in
width. Now, when you buy an un'
derskirt You do patriotic act, for
these cambri. and muslin skirts con
sumed large share of those famous
bales of cotton We heard so much OF
last fall. Some especially pretty
fine cambria and muslin models are
shown in three and Ave cores, trim
med with balloons of embroidery and
Valenciennes, filet or lierre lace
These threaten the vogue OF crepe de
Chine which has come to be almost
a staple. The novelties of the seas

Just as this season when the parks
bloom with flowers and the shops with
lingerie, It is refreshing to linger
I'over the fluffy frills for the boudoir.
How charming the Robes de interior
are Again, crepe de Chine Is the
fabric of the moment, coming In at
traotive leaf pattern, stripes and pol
ka dot designs. The polka dot idea
Is used in a smart kimono In an Az.
enue shop. The silk is white with
large and small green dots and Is
made with an Empire bodice and full
skirt; the neck, sleeves and lower
edge are finished with wide rufus Of
maline and the waist with a twist of
ribbon and a pink rose in front. Cri-
Moline wrappers are also featured for
morning wear in dainty dimity, Swiss
null and point d'esprit, ruffled in
flower like formation, tier upon tier
other kimonos of China silk, taffeta
and crepe de Chine show the art of
the smoker. A Natter blue taffeta
matinee has a yoke effect of this
needle work and narrow ruffles Of
white maline which match the ruffles
on a taffeta petticoat. Then, for mi
lady who breakfasts In bed, there
Is a pretty jacket of peach blow sat
in trimmed with swansdown, and one
of the new shirred, circular pillows
Of the same satin to tuck behind her
back. Breakfast Jackets of lierre
lace and point d'esprit are also shown
boudoir cap and here again names
come in play. The Normandy cap of
maize, pink, white, or lavender crepe
de Chine takes it's style from the
headdress Of the Normandy peasant
and the Colleen cap is a CONNECTION

are also receiving considerable atten.
ton on account of their new shaded
eolorings. One butterfly kimono of
fine silk crepe is embroidered in
wisteria pattern, graduating in tone
from deep purple to white.

os and dainty caps there are sup
porters and stays to think Of. For
those who do not wear a corset when
lounging in their own rooms, there
are round garters Of broad elastic

ished with a flower to suit the color

Drop skirts for cloth suits are, of
course, more moderate in width,
measuring from two 20 three and a
half yards. Here, taffeta predomin.
ates, and as in the suit itself, blue
is the leading color, although there
are some white taffetas and Dolly
Warden effects, which bid fair to be
extremely popular during the sum-
mer. Ruchings and pinked ruffles are
the two modes of trimming. 1t Is sur
prising how many designs can be &C.
complished with these. A taffeta skirt
of the deep Rocky Mountain blue
show an odd effect in the ruching
which is placed zigzag fashion in the
center OF the flounce. Others have
the rushings In straight rows, and the
pinked ruffles are put on in the zig
gag manner or draped like garlands,
on the lower skirt.
Many Of the stores display these
skirts with brassieres, the tighter
the better, no doubt for contrast, or
perchance because there is so much
new in brassiere fashions. It is in
teresting to note that the front clos
ings have completely replaced the old

best were i'll fitting, uncomfortable

of the new waists are deliberately EN-
