The next day after Gettysburg,

After more victories by Grant
around Chattanooga, the victorious
general was brought East, and under
his command, Lincoln started his fifth
drive on Richmond. Then came the
darkness before the final triumph, and
1864 was in some respects the most
trying year of the war. A presidential
election was at hand, and leading Re-
publican politicians were for anybody

Above the whisperings and plots OF

advanced within sight of the capital.
A gold dollar was worth in July $2.S5

Under the thickening clouds in Aug

scaled a forecast of his own defeat In

resolve to cooperate with Mcclellan,

the latter should have been elected.
Equally certain that the president was

The Woman,s
Exchange
To Stiffen a Veil

To the Editor Of Womdn's Page:
Dear Madam-Will you please an
swer the following questions in your
columns: How to stiffen veil, navy
blue of good quality, all right in every
way but has lost it's stiffness. Also, L
have read that it is not correct to have
a silver service or cut glass on display
on the top of buffet. Please tell me
what should be placed on the top and
what to do with n shelf over the mirror
of the buffet. Is it best to leave it bare,
or should some small pieces be used
on it? IL. n. IL.
Sugar would be the best thing to use
TO starch the VEIL but it does not seem
quite right to use that now, when sugar
is so scarce Borax or gum arabic is
good starch for fine materials,
and if used in very weak solution
would be satisfactory for the veil.
1t is perfectly proper to have sill
YER service on the buffet or cut glass
if there is not so much that it looks like
display. No piece of furniture looks
we'll if it is piled with things on top,
but if it is carefully arranged so that
the buffet does not look crowded it looks
very well. Two or three small silver
bud vases or glass bowls on the shell,
would be perfectly correct.

But one day somebody thought of them,
and then along came a very wise manu-
facturer who made them-right-an
now we all use soap flakes. That same
manufacturer has now perfected a
product which is both a soap flake and
dye. So delicate is it. and so lovely
the many shades and colorings. that
one can use it for the finest garments
and underthings. One dissolves some
in water and places in it the garment to
be washed and dyed. Out it comes fresh
and clean and renewed in color. A box
of this costs ten cents.

For one thing the long, close fitting

the sleeve is long, then it is slightly

all sorts of people and all sorts of
conditions. Because of your large
number of readers | am asking Won to
print two little paragraph stories which
have Il moral that may mean a great
deal or little-as the reader takes
them:
Before l went to France my cousin

of beautiful head of curly hair which
she wore down hey back, When | came
back her hair was dead looking and
on one side of her head painfully thin.
The answer? She had been wearing
rats since she put her hair up.
Upon my advice she has discarded the
rats and is brushing. brushing,

That's one instance-now the other |:

where he had accumulated all the

said: Il was so proud of my wife S

BEATRICE NEVER LIKES
ANY POSITION SHE GETS
There Is Al,oays Something Wrong about Every Place !,
Which She Works-Some Of Us Feel That Way Abou, Lite

DEATRICE is always changing her
ID position. She never can find any
thing that suits her for longer than
month or two months at the very most.
She is wildly enthusiastic at first about
her position, but when you meet her
about six weeks later she says disgust
edly, "Why, I wish you could see the
way l had to work at that place. Never
got home till six, busy every minute of
the day. Not for mine, nothing like
that! !" And off she goes on the lookout
for something else-something that's
easy. For, after sympathizing great
many times with Beatrice about her lack
of luck in getting the ideal position, all
her friends have decided that what
Beatrice really wants is to be sort
of honorary clerk. or stenographer, or
saleswoman or something of the kind,
and just sit back at her ease and let
the mo-ey, pour into her lap.
At first we all think. "Well, who
wouldn't like to do that?" But when
we stop and think it over, carefully,
slowly, and imagine ourselves sitting

money--wouldn't it be wonderful for a
few months? But after few months,
when everything in sight is bought, and
there is nothing to do but wear some
of it, and look at some of it, and eat
the rest of it-oh, wouldn't it be tire
some? Wouldn't. we long for just one
stocking to darnY And if some one
handed us pile of dull, uninteresting
letters TO type, wouldn't we almost pay
for the privilege? I'm pretty sure we
would.

~ life in general is all too hard, any
how. We feel that we should like tc
have everything happen Just as we plar
it, even to the impossible, improbable
impractical dreams we dream. We cam
