"She never wears the little trinkets most women love, which come in to day and tomorrow are entirely out of fashion. Bangle bracelets and Jing ling chatelaios have no charms for her. and all the toilet fads of the mo ment are her pet abhorrence. "She has never had a wrapper, and it is doubtful if she would know how to get into a mottoer-hubbard. "She doesn't chew gum and never takes a glass of soda water, and she hes never been guilty of uttering a slang phrase. “She does not declare Marcus Aure lius to to? her Idol, and she has never read snylbtng from Tolstoi ' She ie not a dub woman, and she never Joir.s societies.

Three men are always markedly at tentive to her In every town or resort she visits.

Let the arms hang loosely at the sides. the head drop as low in front as possible, as limply as possible, without moving any other portion of the body.

It la high ] ly creditable to you to cherish ihe ] memories suggested In your account of ths review and to express them un der the circumstances, file press and public men of the South are often too subservient and ur.- Influenced too much by commercial and political mo tives. Til spirit Is debasing. I some times fear this land of which I have always been proud, and which I trust I may suv without boasting I love with an unselfish devotion, Is fust becoming 1P,,. our neighbors of the North, so ' mercenary and seifsecklng that she is putting behind her those high princi ples und aspirations which so long dis tinguished her. The South has been subjugated hy nrmtes and It now loot* us ts h< r nobler seif Is about to he • subjugated likewise. She Is impover ished, It Is true, but there are other things lo I).’ desired for a people, us well as for individual, besides mere material proaperlty. Boor as she Is. 1 trust she will not make merchandise of her principle*. Yes, doubtless, there were many who looked upon that parade with some tiling more like satisfaction than they did upon “Sherman's soldiers,” yet I imagine they were sadly reminded of the march of the modern Alario through their native state, boasting of the wanton destruction of private property he wrought; th<- ruthless driving of women and children from Atlanta; the burning of Ihat city and Columbia and counties* homes in Geor gia and Carolina, all in the name of the "great republic,'' which so loudly proclaims from the housetops Its su perior virtue and humanity.
