•EASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
Oft, dear love, when the evening shadows
Fall, like sleep, on the face of day,
Come to me, o’er the peacefill meadows,
Gleams and dreams of the sweet far
away;
And fondly the heart, with a forewell
token.
Dream-kissed here in the twilight gray,
Speaks again, with its vows unbroken,
The words of love that it used to say.
Words of lovel and the heart grows lighter,
Words of love! and to live is dear,
Words of love! and the earth grows
brighter,
Words of love! and heaven is near,
Words of love! and the future’s fleeter,
Words of love! and adieu to care,
Words of love and life grows sweeter,
Sweeter still for the days that were!
So, dear love, when the far light’s stream
ing
In through the windows of the past, I
see,
Here alone ’neath the star light’s gleam
ing,
The hallowed days that used to be;
And sacred the scenes and the joyous
seeming,
Fancy fraught as they come to the,
Silently sitting, sweetly dreaming,
Heaven-blest with the thoughts of thee.
The almost constant downpour of
rain interfered very materially with
the gaieties which bad been planned
for the past week, and many charming
affairs were necessarily postponed un
til brighter days should dawn. ' How
ever, these later days, these same
charming affairs are considered of
rather secondary importance since s>
many of our ladies and gentlemen are
occupying the greater part of their
time in efforts to secure aid and com
fort for the sick and wounded heroes
of our nation. Conspicious among
these are Mrs,.De Forest Allgood, Mrs.
Julia Pritchard, tbs Misses Brawner,
Oapt. Dews, and Col. Geo. I. Jones.
Mrs. Allgiod is particularly energetic
in her patriotism. Ordinearily Mrs.
Allgood spends her summers at some
delightful retreat, but in these times
of war, when sick men need nursing,
she has let go fashion to devote her
self to the noble work which she and
her associates have in hand. Mrs.
Pritchard and the Misses Brawner ere
capital lieutenants to Mrs. Allgood
and are one with her in her every
undertaking. Cspt. Dews and Col.
Jones are doing their best and there
are scores of other men and women,
some closely and remotely connected
with what is known as the smart set,
who are paying far more attention to
measures of relief than to measures of
biversion. It is an excellent thing for
America that the most of our women
are of Mrs. Allgood’s type.

The Dorcas Society held a business

Mrs. James M. Brawner was the

Tuesday afternoon, given in honor of
the Mystic Circle. Mrs. Brawner has
one of the loveliest homes in the city,
and she, herself, is a woman, possess
ing a charming personality. She has
a wealth of soft, snowy hair, the bright
est of brown eyes that glow with un
usual intelligence, and a rare sweet
ness of manner that has won for her
so many friends. On Tuesday after
noon, despite the torrents of rain
which fell unceasingly, the Brawner
home was a beautiful picture—there
were exquisite cut flowers of every
description, and the soft glow of in
numerable waxen tapers drove away
every vestige of the murky shadows
which seemed determined to come in
from the gloomy outside world. The
affair was distindy a literary one, and
the animated discussion of Oliver
Wendell Holmes and the word contest
which followed, were very bright and
interesting Mrs. Thomas J. Collier
won the prize—a lovely wedgewood
pitcher. At six and a half o’clock,
elegant refreshments were served by
Miss Brawner and Mies Bessie Clark
Brawner
About fifteen of our ynuuger set

Springs, where a week will be spent,

Cautious Xxtven.
Two cautious individuals have agreed
to enter matrimony in Northampton,
Mass., under very odd conditions. The
investment filed in the Hampshire registry
of deeds by them reads:
“Marriage being intended between For
dyce Whitmarsh of Easthampton and A.
Minerva Cleveland of Plainfield, the fol
lowing agreement was made July 8: All
real and personal estate shall remain the
separate property of the party owning the
same to the same extent as before mar
riage. Property acquired by either party
shall remain the property of the person ac
quiring the sama Each party can man
age or dispose of his property without con
sulting the other.
“The said Whitmarsh will pay his wife
during the first five years of their married
life 50 cents per week, payable each week,
for her personal use. Five years from the
date of their marriage he will pay to his
wife the sum of 9500, or in case of the
death of either party it will be payable
from or to the estate of the deceased. Aft
er five years the husband is to pay his wife
91.50 per week.”
His Tint Comuuuid.
In a letter home Captain McGinley of
Emporia, Kan., writes: “My first attempt
at commanding was rather humiliating
I resolved to take one command from the
book and study till I learned it I pro
cured a pass, went deep into the woods
and rehearsed it I had it down pat I
then went to the captains and had them
explain what effect that command would
have on the company. Each one took a
stick and mapped out the movement on
the ground until I understood it thor
oughly. I repeated it to myself and felt
proud and confident
“Next morning at drill I assumed an
attitude and while making a cigarette in
a careless fashion issued the oomman A
The company ran overtne, and as they are
taught to keep on going until told to halt
the entire company walked on my grace
ful presence before I could think of what
came next I hope to learn, but I wish
X had a company that was not so anxious
to mind. ’’ _
