The reason for thl* belief Is that the average person takes but little note of the progress of events outs de of his every day life. The wars be best re mem her* from bis school history were fought by voluntee s and the unthink ing conclusion Is that all future ones may be as successfully fought. Limi tations of transportation made those wars longer than they can ever be in the future. The successful side in one battle or campaign cou’.d not then en tirely grasp the fruit of victory. Tra'.n- j ing and expe lence could then go band In hand and the result was a splendid soldier. The Continental army that forced the eutrender at Yorktown did not march as regularly as the British Redcoat or the Hessian hiding, but they were better soldiers because they knew the essentials without the frills, they knew how to march long dis tances, shoot straight and care for themselves in all conditions of cam paign. The officers knew their ma chine. The knowledge came from long practice In the school of war Itself. Under present conditions, however, one great battle, on© campaign lost may enable the victor to seize the vi tal centres and a country Is paralyzed. Therefore the soldier must now be trained befo:e the war commences and his training should be in a school sim ulating as nearly a 3 possible actual war. Unbroken well dressed lines look well on parade, but present to the enemy a target that before mod ern guns will disappear as a mist be (c r the suu. When a regiment marches well In line and executes the manual of arms in un'soa it Is cf.en considered good. Yet of what value are these accomplish ments in battle?

Augusta, noted for the charm of it* home*, ha* through all It* length and breadth a no more beautiful drawing 1 room than that in a certain popular i home on Greene street. A h«u*e In which the wbo.o Interior haa a grace all Its own. The drawing room la In white and gold. That combination sound* rather j .■old and uninviting, but in reality the effect la irresistible The gold tuul white la softened and toned down by 1 the warm but subdued tints lu car- i ,tet and hangings. The wall-paper ha* no decided pattern, that Is. in genuine effect, but In reality Its pale cream I background Is covered with a most ar- j tlatlc design In what look* to be gold, in one and light bronze In another; i The carpel has cream and delicate fawn tints, and Is sprinkled all over with pale pink webs. The woodwork is white, and the many windows are covered with lace curtains so flinty ind so purely white that they seem to have lost the forbidding snowiness generally connected with lack of coioi. This Is partly due to the fact that the while Venetian blir ’ are pushed out of the way and f foliage without peeps through t> ibwebby folds In such a way as to lend the soft green touches with which the clever artist vho designed the cover to the Decem ber Scribner’s gives such a feathery leok to bis angel’s wings. The gold color note Is struck most strongly In the superb gold mirrows over the great nienlel, a mirror which lias the reputation of being the superh end the most unique In Georgia, and which, imported originally from Paris, has been in the poss esion of its own er’s family for four generations. The severity of the white-tiled mantel -Is broken by an elaborate drapery of olive green silk wrought In metallic tints, bronze, gold and silver. Two rare pieces of bric-a-brec alone adorn the mantel. In the window to the left Is a white tahoret. on which rests a Dresden fern-dish Ailed with maiden hair, another green note in the har mony. On the right the flreplacecomes in half concealed with exquisite Ori ental rirnpories suspended from nn elaborately carved bracket. A three cornered rilvan la covered with satin damask and bronze-greon and gold, riled high with downy pillows encased ni brocade and satins exquisitely har monious. „ There arc no pictures on the walls, only on the right a large piece of tap estry by nn Augusta artist, represent ing Queen Guinevere watching King Arthur ride by.
