Git my old knapsack, Mary, git my uniform of grey, Git my battered helmet, Mary, for I'll need 'em all today; Git my canteen and my leggin's, hand me down my empty gun, For I'm goin out paradin' with the Boys of Sixty-One. Never mind them blood-stains, Mary, never mind that , ragged hole, They were made there by a bullet that was sarching for my soul; Jest bresh off them cobwebs, Mary, git my bonnie flag of blue, For I'm going' out paradin with the Boys of Sixty-two. This uniform don't fit me like it did when I was young; Don't you recollect how neatly to my manly form it clung? Never mind that sleeve that's empty, let it dangle loose and free, For I'm goin' out paradin' with the Boys of Sixty-three. Draw my waist belt tighter, Mary, put the strap beneath my chin, I'm growin's old an' threadbare, like my uniform, an' thin: But I reckon I'll pass muster as I did in days of yore, For' I'm goin' out paradin, with the Boys of Sixty-four. Now I'm ready, kiss me, Mary, kiss your old sweetheart goodbye, Bresh away them teardrops, Mary, Lord, I didn't think you'd cry! I ain't goin' out to battle, cheer up, Mary, sakes alive! I'm just goin' out paradin' with the Boys of Sixty-five. ' S. Porcher Hevt, in Florida Times Union. MRS. JONES GUEST OF MRS. BURWELL. Mrs. Jones, mother of Mr. Jo Jones, and sister of Dr. James R.

For a long time yellow was hardly counted in with pale pink " alid pale blue as an appropriate color for all occasions for use on lingerie and negligees, for the touch of pale color on the lace or chiffon blouse and for the blouse itself. Now yellow is in all its glory. For not only are yellow ribbons used to lace up all sorts ot lingerie and yellow roses and rib bons used on negligees, but tiny yel low muslin borders appear on hand kerchiefs and yellow blouses of chif fon and crepe de chine and' linen are much worn. There are many new and interesting names for the s various shades of yellow. Probably maize frnrn is the best of the lieht shades for general wear. Along with the in- j creased use of yellow comes, tne in creased use of yellow rose tor cor sage flowers and trimming for even ing frocks. 1 SO MISS ORR HOSTESS TO FELLOW SENIORS. Miss Harriet Orr, one of the most attractive Seniors of Elizabeth Col lege, a girl who leads, who is original and forceful in books and without (-books, clever, bright and popular was hostess to her class yesterday at a beautiful luncheon at her home on West Seventh street. One beautiful board was not sufficient for the hos pitality of the hostess two were necessary. For one, in the dining room, a color scheme of yellow and white was chosen; for the other, in the large hall, pink and white. In the center of the golden board was a big gold basket filled with yellow daisies, the china was gold-banded, the glass yellow-banded Bohemian. On the pink and white table was a big pink basket full of pink' sweet peas. The appointments w;ere colo nial glass, elegant silver, ' exquisite Dresden china. The : place cards came from New York. They were "Seniors" in full attire, about six or seven inches long, attached to beautiful Madeiras with the colors of Elizabeth m nar row ribbon. Miss Orr in white flowered silk, and corsage of pink sweet peas pre sided with grace and charm. Her guests were: Misses Olive Price, Ella Lucile Glenn, Mary Barringer Keister, Marjorie Marie .

R. Preston, granddaughter and name sake of Mrs., Stonewall Jackson. Little Miss Preston, who is a beautiful child with true blue eyes, ros.- cheeks and hair a mass of short golden curls, was fairy like in loveliness, in a dainty white embroidered batiste, white slip pers and sock and a little blue enamel locket matching her eyes and making, with them, the only color contrast of ! her attire.

Cards as follows were issued ' to day : v They come! a glad and joyous throng, Some young, some old, all gay; And each imbued with purpose strong To keep the Children's Day. Will you not be one of this joyous throng to take part in the celebration of . Children's Day at Trinity Methodist Sunday School May 31st, 11 a. m.? A cordial welcome awaits you. "ITS RINGS ON THE TOES." Here's a dare for you follow the latest fashion, it is a ring tor each toe on your tootsie! says a Paris writer in the Philadelphia Record. In the house, on reception dayi?, you are to wear sandals and no stockings, so all the toes are to be ringed. You vowed you would not wear the colored wigs but some of your fash ionables did. You have worn the leg bracelets termned anklets. Be ware! You may soon be seeking in formation about the proper toe rings to wear at a pink tea. If you hesitate to expose your toes to the admiration (?) of the world at large you might try the new fad of wearing a rose in the back of the corsage (directly opposite to where one usually wears it in the front) just where the pointed decolletage ends. It's quite the thing here will you do it, avec bonne grace? Once upon a time American women came to Paris chiefly to buy pretty clothes; now she often comes just to have her face beautified. The latest operation is to have the forehead ianc-Jd across and a strip of flesh re moved, so that the eye-browo are elevated and a calm, "saintly" ex pression achieved. For some time past women have been having their eyes slit at the corners with a lancet in order to obtain that long look to the eyes. Daily for weeks after the lids are cut, and while the wounds are healing, the lids are drawn out ward. The lids are still subjected to this treatment even after the lids have healed, and the result is a long er and more wide-open eye. And then the mouth all sorts of surgical things are done to it. To ob tain the curling upper lip (even from one uncompromisingly straight and too long) the beauty doctor cuts a slit across the lip, cuts a minute strip of flesh away, brings the edges of the incision together and careful ly heals them, taking every precau-; tion to sterilize everytnmg so that the wound may heal without the .slightest trace of a scar. The nose is altered by surgery or by the injection of paraffin. Then there are all sorts of little known . exercises . and home treat ments prescribed as part of beauty culture. - If she has a red nose she must sit with her feet in very hot water at least 15 minutes every nignt before retiring.

Fifty years ago this month there were "more battle fought and more men killed and wounded than during any other month of the war between the states. This month is the semi centennial of more desperate fighting than was ever witnessed on the Ameri can continent and -we may say in the world.1-. - . ' During the month., of jtfay. 1864, were fought the bloddy battles in the Wilderness and near Spottsylvania Court House, in which both armies, the Union and Confederate, lost very heavily. Commencing on the 5th of that month there was fighting almost every day between the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac. The fighting was , particularly severe and the losses espeically heavy on the 5th, 6th, 10th, 12th . and 19th days of May 1864 and many a brave soldier on both sides was -killed. Of course, as usual in most of the battles in Virginia, North Carolina suffered more severely than any other state, and thousands of homes weie bereaved of some loved one. In addition to the fighting on the north side of the James river (at the Wilderness and Spottsylvania) there was also severe fighting on the south side of that river, where Beuregard "bottled up" Beast Butler, as General Grant said in his official report. The present generation cannot imagine the horrors of those terrible battles and .,ffri-5nr thpv raused not only to the soliders engaged therein but also' to their loved ones at Home, we earn estly hope that our people, may never again be called upon to pas sthrough such an ordeal. "Mild as a May morn" is an old say ing but those terrible days in May, 1864, lacked a great deal of being mild as May -morns, when thousands of our best and bravest were killed or wound ed in those bloody battles in Virginia during that month long to be remem bered General Grant was then doing his best to capture Richmond with largely superior numbers, but General Lee met him at every point and suc ted his attacks. Early in that campaign General Grant had de clared that ne "wouia ngm n. out that line if it took all summer," re ferring to his plan to defeat General Lee and capture Richmond by moving on that city from the northern side. After losing many thousand men Grant changed his mind and his plan of campaign, and moved his army to the south side of the James river and be gan the siege of Petersburg, which lasted for nine months. The baseball magnate,-as well as the theatrical manager, likes to get a run for his money. ' AUNT SALLY'S ADVICE TO. BEAUTY SEEKERS Lvdia says: . "I've tried most ever-thing- for. my freckies, but cant lose them. What do you suggest?" See an swr to Stella." The treatment sug- e-ptpd I've - - never known to fail in i any case of freckles or other cuta neous blemish. . P. P. K. asks: Is there anything: better than massage to remove wrin kles?" Too much massaging may ag gravate a wrinkled condition, tending to soften and loosen the tissue. I advise bathing the face in an astrin gent lotion made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel. This is remarkably effective. ' Stella writes: My complexion is hor ribly muddy. What shall I do for it?" Get an ounce of mercolized wax at your druggist's. Apply this nightly like you'd .use cold cream, washing it off" mornings. This will cause tro offensive cuticle gradually to make way, by a - process .of-gentle absorption, for' the clear, velvety . . healthy-hued skin underneath. Woman's Kealni.
