materials to effects that made this
gown the delight Of critics. But they
were quick to perceive that the de-
signer understood all the possibilities
of her fabrics and she used them with
the sure hand of master.
The dancing flames Of an early au-
tumn fire might have inspired this
gown; at all events its colors and spar
kle may be found just there, for the
underdress is Of flame-colored satin
and is cut, after the manner of this
seasons evening gown, very low at the
back. But the back is not left uncov-
cred, for there is an Overdress of
sapphire blue net that wells the under
dress from neck to hem. 1t supports
many bands Of blue sequins that catch
the Hight like the little blue flames that
play over the glowing Goals Of a fire.
A rufie about the neck is edged with a
single row Of sequins and three rows
of them extend over the shoulders.
The round buttons are covered with
them.
The management Of the net at the
back Of the bodice, where 1t appeared
like cape partly fastened to the skirt,
was matter of much comment. 1t

pretty child, who would incline to am
bidextrous usages, despite discipline

Patience had ceased to be virtue
and the teacher had punished Nellie
for persisting in using her slate pencil
with her left hand. The shy, shame
faced pupil had been sentenced to
stand the cynosure of the whole school
with that persistent left hand held
aloft for five minutes. Again, she was
compelled to hold it in her apron
pocket through the entire session.

whim, habit or misfortune, whichever
it was. They nearly broke her tender
little heart, however, as her heaving
breast, her eyes filed with angry tears

the last point Of human endurance.
Nellie had seized clod Of earth. She
gave it vigorous fling as her tormen-

past them, leaving the enemy scath-

The youngster darted out Of view Of
the schoolhouse. Nellie, appalled, as
she heard the Jingle and clatter of
breaking glass, sank among the shell

this new misfortune.
"You sneak!" greeted the cause of
all this commotion, and manly young
fellow, Arnold Wayne, stayed his
course with a jerk. "Tormenting a
little girl! Say, If you so much as
breathe word about Nellie breaking
that window, I'll break your head"
Then young Wayne gave his captive
q vigorous shake, flung him headlong

MAI. GEN. THOs. H. BARRY.

Barefooted country lads are the
raw material out of which American
great men are often made, and to be
born in a log cabin is almost an as
surance of coming fame. We do not
hear so much of the human product
of the tenements of great cities, but
not a few Of the distinguished men OF
America have come from that envi-
ronment. A notable example is
Major-Genera1 Thomas Henry Barry
who, at the declaration of war against
Germany was commander of the Gem
trail Department and who has COM
manded the Philippine Division Of the
United States army, and the Depart
ment of the East. and was formerly
head of the United States Military
Academy at West Point. General
Barry was born in New York So years
ago today, Oct. IS, 1855, and in his
youth was a barefooted Bowery boy.
He was hardly typical of his class,
however, for instead of hanging
around the street corners vivid de
gang. he spent his days in hard and
honest toll and his evenings at night
school. His parents were poor, and
he had to work for a living, but de-
spite these disadvantages he managed
to fit himself for the College of the
City of New York. While a student
in that institution, Hon. Robert B..
Roosevelt, an uncle of Col. Roosevelt,
offered a cadetship at West Point to
the college boys. the winner of the
prize to be chosen by a competitive
examination. Tommy Barry had
long entertained an ambition to win
military glory, and SO eager was he
to capture the prize that he almost
had to be forced to eat and sleep. No
other boy entered the contest with
such determination. and as a result
| Tommy was the victor, and in 1877
he graduated from West Point. His
first Job as a soldier was to fight IN
dams, and he took a leading part in
the pacification of the hostile Sioux
and Geronimos savage Apaches. Since
then he has served in the relief ex-
petition in China, during the Boxer
rebellion; in the Philippines as CHIEF
of staff; in Cuba as commander of the
army of pacification, from 1907 to
1903; as United States military OBJ
server in Manchuria during the
Russo-Japanese war. He was made a
brigadier general in 1903, and a
major general in 1908, and natsds
third in relative rank among the army
officers of Uncle Sam.
