Time ADDS TO
LINCOLN'S fame
Passing Years Bring In
creased Acknowledgment
of His Wise States
manship.

r N the mere recital of the facts
of Lincoln's life there is little to
account for his being the only
American except Washington
whose birthday has been made a ma
tional holiday. His origin was Eng
lish, as he descended from English
Quakers who settled In Pennsylvania.
His own branch of the family went to
Virginia, and thence to Kentucky, In
diana and Illinois. His birthplace.
though rude, was not unlike those
about him, the one roomed cabin of
the Western pioneer, situated in a
wild region and with only the rudest
necessities.
There was little In his boyhood to
mark 1t out from his fellows save in
the thorough use he made of his scanty
opportunities for improvement. He
possessed only a handful of books
the Bible, "Aesop's Fables" Pilgrims
Progress" Robinson Crusoe." the lives
Of Washington and Henry Clay-but
Of these, by continual study, he made
himself complete master Meanwhile
the difficulties of his daily life made
him strong and vigorous, stimulating
q wholesome growth of body and mind.
The Importance Of this foundation Of
health can hardly be overestimated,
In view Of the strain he was to bear
In later life. That he retained this
early vigor is evident from anecdotes
of his delight In feats of strength even
after he attained the presidency. By
means of farm work that In those
days included every form of bodily
exercise, by short experience as a
country storekeeper, by an almost RI
diculous military training, Lincoln
saw in essence something of every
form of life and saw each form In its
Darest simplicity. From these crudest
facts he drew the homely directness
IF thinking, a readiness in analysis, a
simplicity of view and a keenness of
humor that tinctured his whole mind.
His Early Studies.
There is nothing that gives us bet
ter insight into the origin of his great
ness than the story he tells of his
early methods of study. Even as a
BOY. he says. he was accustomed to
near discussed public questions of
every sort. The language and rhetoric
of his elders was far beyond his COM
prehension,. but with the true pioneer
spirit the boy Lincoln, educated to
overcome difficulties by his daily life,
not tired by multiplicity of subjects.
was never willing to abandon a sub

Told Good Joke on Himself
Lincoln Appreciated Humor in Remark
Made by Exceedingly Frank,
Outspoken Lady.

When Mr.. Lincoln was presented
by the POSTMASTER of banquet OF
Illinois editors In 1856. he began with
an apology for his presence, speaking
Of himself as an interloper, and then
he said he was reminded of an incl
dent. He did not say that he was
giving a personal experience of his
own, but the editors surmised as much
and were greatly amused.
Mr.. Lincoln said that the man of
whom he was speaking possessed feat
ures which the ladies could not call
handsome. This man, while riding
through the woods, met lady on
horseback. He turned out of the path
and waited for her to pass. She
stopped and looked at the man a few
moments. Then she said:
swell for land sake, you are the
homeliest man / ever saw"
"Yes, madame" the man replied
"but can't help It."

hands. The next section of the cloth
is then dipped into another shade and
wrung in the same manner and so
on to the end of the piece. The fabric
is then hung up so that the dyes run
into each other, making wonderful
shades that vie with the colors of the
rainbow. The efforts of those who do
this work are centered on obtaining
uncommon colors. This they do
through the study Of lovely old pot
teries and other pieces Of art, espe-
cially Persian and Indian things.
Bronze shades are among the fa-
vorites, and some lovely velyets are
done in this tone.
Velvet Makes Stately Tea Gown.
A stately type of tea gown is of old
blue velvet, combined with chiffon. II
is very much embroidered, the chiffon
being practically covered with a won
derful design OF flowers, ducks and
dragons. Many mellow c0lors Of silk
blend in this embroidery, although at
first glance gold and silver appear to
predominant. The embroidery around
the neck and sleeves Is cross-stitch
of gold and silver threads. The meth
cd OF putting this garment together
is rather intricate, although the lines
appear simple.
In contrast to these stately robes
there is the pajama negligee emanat-
ing from the dress In which the women
of China drink tea. China, however,
furnishes only the basic idea for these
dresses.
The pajama negligee is made Of
bright colored velvets and silks, the
trousers tying about the ankles with
ribbons of silver and gold. While the
splendid tea gowns previously de-
scribed are topped by a headdress,
these gay little Chinese costumes are
accompanied by jaunty caps and slip
pers that match them. Many Of the
caps are small, round affairs with
dangling silver tassels.

mix. the cloth comes out in two tones.
The sleeves, which are long and tight
wrinkling on the arm from the elbow
to the wrist. are made In three sec
lions connected by cording, which goes
IN rows about the arm. Weights start
ut the bottom of the sleeve and con-
tinue all the way up 1t and down the
side seams OF the gown to hold the
drapery OF the sleeve in place.
Elaborate Trimming Used.
The negllgee is one article of dress
In which we may allow ourselves
much latitude In the matter of orna-
mentation, for while some of these
handsome gowns have no trimming.
others are very deliberately trimmed.
One of velvet, made on exactly the
same lines as the one just described.
is lavishly covered with Chinese stem
ell work. Another Is trimmed with
large eyelets carrying out design.
These. instead of being worked with
threads like the English eyelet en-
broidery, are bound with different col
ored silks. Still another, of black
chiffon velvet. has batik work In gold
All of these robes slip on over the
head.
In no dress can art be expressed
In quite the same manner as In the
tea gown, and women are continually
demanding not only greater beauty Of
design, but of colorings In them. This
has brought about some very interest
ing methods of hand dyeing to obtain
unusual color effects. Both velyets
and silks are dyed by dipping por-
ton of the material into the desired
color and wringing 1t tightly with the

go, and here the Illinois men so ably
presented and advocated their new
champion, Lincoln, that Seward lost
the nomination and Lincoln won it.
In the following election Lincoln
succeeded over his rival by a narrow
majority, and really represented, so far
as votes were concerned, minority
of the nation. Having staked upon this
election the whole doctrine of state
rights and the extension Of slavery,
the leading southern states looked up
on Lincoln's election as defiance OF
the whole course of legislation looking
to the unfolding of the southern view.
Determined on Secession.
The war followed, for the South con-
sidered state rights and slave labor as
the foundation of their prosperity and
power, especially since the invention
of the cotton gin had made, as they
phrased it, cotton the king of the
world Of commerce. Woodrow VIII
son points out that In the northern
opposition to slavery the South felt a
that the worst side of the institution
was willfully presented, that its neces-
stiles and It's better side were willfully
suppressed. In the election of Lincoln
they saw the beginning of an attempt
to dominate them completely. 1t
seemed the outcome Of continual bat
tie against them and their institutions,
and they saw no escape except by Sc.
cession from the Union.
AS president. Lincoln disappointed
the abolitionists and the more rabld
opponents of the South He waited
until he believed that there was armed
resistance to the federal laws, but
when this crisis came acted promptly
and effectively. The long conflict fol-
lowed and belongs to history.
Ever since those days Lincoln's
fame has been growing, and the best
students agree that his was the broad
est craftsmanship and the wisest brain
Of all tested in those troubled times.
More and more the country has come
to see that he best understood the
problems and best solved them. His
assassination was a blunder for which
the country, both North and South,
paid dear. His speeches, his public doc
uments, his state papers, reveal a
greater man as they are studied more
deeply, and today the leaders Of
thought, both North and South, pay
to his memory due need of reverence.

thin white wash silk and there was
an interlining Of lightweight flannel.
The garment was perfectly straight
and quite ungirdled. the only trim
ming being large rounding collar of

Preference for Long Draped Lines.
There appears to be a preference
for long draped lines, the garment
usually being cut In one piece, with
the lower portion of the skirt much
narrower than at the hips. In many
cases the draping swathes the ankles
rather tightly. Even the sleeves, cut
In kimono STYLE, are gradually shaped
so that they fit the arm snugly below
the elbow and are long; some of them
coming almost to the tips of the
fingers.

up the full length just like any narrow

sleeve hung like a streamer. This

soldiers. In his speech he praised the
soldiers and then added: IF all that

praise of women were applied to the
women of America 1t would not do
them justice for their conduct dur
