CHARLOTTE NEWS, SEPTEMBER 1 , 1 902 6 A Trousseau For Ten Dollars t She was- of the noble' army of the Virginia invasion of New York. Sta tistics say there are as many Virgin ians in New York as in Richmond. The old farm once a plantation of many acres and a part of a royal, patent- had yielded so niggardly a crop of ready money of late that something.had to be done. There were the three little sisters growing up and the widowed mother. It was plain that she must be the "man of the family." So she had sent, out a flight Of cards . announcing that "Miss Mary Queensbury Brocken brough would shop on commission in New York, and would especially be of service to intending brides. And now her first order had come; but it was something of a staggerer. One of their neighbors, a "pore white" girl of Pokeberry Hollow, was "gwine ter git married," and had sent her a ten dollar note and a request for a tros seau. The trousseau was to include a wed ding dress of white silk, a hat trimmed with roses, a Sunday-go-to-meetin' rflress, a winter dress a pair of shoes, a "parrysol," three pairs of stockings, a dozen handkerchiefs, an embroidered bureau cover and a hand-painted toilet bath set,1 "an", Miss Mamie, ef yo' hev anny lef over, I'd like mightily to hev a pyar o' white kid gloves, number seven en' a ha'f." Miss Mamie sat down and looked at the ten-dollar . note. "I wonder if she thinks I am ..a sleight-of-hand perform er and can stroke a large, fat, white rabbit out of a tea cup, or have only to break an egg to evolve a gold watch and chain." Butrthis,was only for a moment. A mental image of the store at Pokeberry Hollow arose before her and of the limitless resources 01 $10 as regarded by Pokeberry folk, and she went to work. The- big department, stores were not for her not even the cheapest. No; Grand street, it must be, and probably the sidewalk at that. Soon the spirit of the chase had taken possession of her, and the potential bargain-hunter n every woman had come to the front. Here is her itemized account: OH Pi L&RI M AFH Whence go you, oh my heart, in pil grim gray, . n. What" journey bids you forth so long " arid late? When .white "arms beckon, red lips bid you stay, f-v-.O- . What quest is this that will not let . ypu wait? .; .... -i Ever I go through many a night and "day, Through many a day and night to find my mate. Nay, but the way is long, oh, pilgrim heart See where the deserts burn and waters roll; What token have you that one waits apart, A joy uncertain at an unknown goal? Long since I heard the voice that bade me start With that strange word where with soul calls to soul. Oh, pilgrim, when ended is the quest And one stands welcoming upon the steep, Now, by what token is she. first and best, Now. bv what sign shall love his promise keep? Oh, her red lips will laugh my lips jest, And her sweet eyes will when my eyes weep. Theodosia Garrison, 1 in the Magazine. BUSINESS CARDS. T. W. Dixon, President. A. C. Hutchison, Sec. & Treas.

Next in popularity to black for even ing gowns comes white in various shades; character is given all-white costumes by the use of lace. Loose-meshed fabrics are favired for early Autumn tailor gowns.

Office and residence, No. 304 Sixth street. East TRUSTEE'S SALE. Women Lawyers in Boston. In an interview published in the Bos ton Record Miss Amy Acton gave some interesting details in regard to the specialized work of women lawyers. She said: "There are a number of women law yers in Boston who have been very successful in special lines of practice, such as conveyancing, probate and cor poration law, but I do not c6nsider specializing essential to success in the practice of law. I take every thing that comes, and it seems to come along all the time. I have been practicing law for the past eight years, and du ing that time have had a general prac tice. "It is hardly time yet to institute comparisons that can be considered valuable, because there are not enough of us that have been, practicing law long enough to:, allow a fair compari son to be made., Miss Bridges, who has an Office here,ihas been in practice for two years, but has enough to do. Among the women lawyers who have specialized is Miss Alline Marcy, who is engaged in conveyancing and exam ining titles for the Metropolitan Water Board. She has a fine position. "Of course some thinge are open to men lawyers that are not open to wo men, and vice versa, there are things open to women that are not open to men. "I don't find that I am handicapped in the practice of law because I am a wpman. I go into court and try any thing I have to try. I tried a divorce case in Middlesex county not long ago and I tried two cases within two weeks of my admission to the bar, and have been trying cases ever since. - "In one way women have the advan tage of men in practicing law: thsy have the confidence of women. I have women coming in to see me all thve time.. Some Of them come from Cape Cod and some of them come from the western part of the State, and they all express their pleasure in finding that they can come to a woman to present their cases for them. Property laws are becoming so ameliorated that wo men of means are enabled to handle tfieir own property with more 'free dom than formerly, and these women are putting their business into -the hands of women lawyers. Up to 1873, when the law was changed, married women had very little " to say or do with .property. The law of 1902, equalizing property rights in deceased spouse's estates, has widened the scopeTand increased the power of wo men over property. Then, too, more women are going into business than formerly, and they are employing wo men lawyers." ; : Up-to-Date Beds and Bedding. The selection of beds and the detail of their equipment, says The Delineator for September, is one of the most im portant items of modern house furnish ing. The provision for comfort in sleeping rooms, would perhaps receive more attention if one realized' that ful ly one-third of a life-time is spent there. In the course of three-score years fully twenty even with only mod erate sleeping, are passed in bed. White iron bedsteads are so generally used now that they may be found even in the tenement districts, where their neat, durable and simple construction means even more than in the homes of more pretension and wealth. While the adornment of the bed is off! moment, the foundations of! comfort depend on the choice of mattresses and .springs. Here the quality should be of the best that can be afforded. A first expense in good materials is likely to be the last. Under and by virtue of a deed of trust executed to me by W. L. Aldred and wife, M. A. Aldred and C. M. Al dred and . wife, V.'S.
