WOMA N'S-PAGE.’ Sleeveless Frocks for Sports BY MARY The revival of the sleeyeless frock came without protest or opposition and even before the earliest arrivals had made their appearance at Palm Beach and other Winter resorts—and cer- fainly before any of the new fashions ad been tried out—it was tacitly agreed that the sleeveless frock was going to be worn.

With the memory of what the holi- day abundance managed to do to our own appetites, the mother has a better recognition of what happens to the baby or young child when he is consntly wheedled and cajoled into eating/more than he really cares for. Some days, says the mother, baby will take six | ounces willingly and on others he barely | takes three. On some days we can eat a very large potato or a second helping of anything and on other days we can barely eat the small portion first given to us. There isn't any difference except that we have gotten into the habit of alloting a child a certain portion of everything and we are tremendously up- sa;t when he refuses to do away with all of it. | Observant mothers have discovered that if the child takes too much cod liver oil for a lengthy period he loscs his appetite. Others have noticed that { when a child is fed a very rich cows' | milk that he rebels against taking all | that is given him or else refuses all other foods. These are two forms of fat with which all mothers are familiar. Some mothers lack the ability to gpick out cause and effect as readily as others, /but it is a common observation that | children fed quantities of rich food sim- ply lose their appetites and eat'little or nothing. Usually the -overfeeding has gone on for a long period, so that the child is big and fat, and this bothers the mother éven more, for she is sure that being so big and fat he ought to ‘want more instead of less to eat. Another common appetite destroyer is a “coming” cold. Several days before the cold is noticeable children will “fall off” in their eating. Instead of insisting on more food the mother will wisely heed this symptom of something askew aad offer even less food. In fact, that is the safest rule of conduct when one is dealing with a loss of appetite. In- stead of trying to force more food upon the child, lengthen the time between meals and offer less at a meal.. For the child of two or more put half the usual portion on his plate. In this way the child still clears his plate, which is a good procedure and a good habit, and yet is in no way stuffed, as he would be if he were being made to eat his full and usyal portion of food. In a few days these smaller portions of food will result in a better appetite, if overfeeding is at fault, and if the child is coming down with a cold or other 'childish ailments the lessened ;ouo: intake will be all the better for Asparagus Omelet.

CRAIG. February 6, 1861.—Optimistic states- men and editors are taking a favorable view of the Peace Convention. They believe it will agree upon a basis of settlement by two-thirds of the dele- gates from the Southern States and a like number from the border slave- holding States, although perhaps in tl Star says of the terms of the proposed compromise, as regards the preservation of the Union: | “The policy”—referring to the South- | ern slave States—"has everywhere been to deny the people the right for vote on their acts. Neither seceding State has accorded them the right, which is the basis of all right of every American lib- erty and without which the Govern- ment must either be that of an oli- garchy, a monarchy of some sort or a mq:rked despotism, military or other- wise. “What is wanted to restore the for- mer order of things in the Gulf States by the people of those States themselves are simply such terms by the Peace | Convention as, in satisfying the Union, -loving population of the border slave- | holding States, will assure the masses in the seceded States, whose liberties have been usurped at home, that they may rely upon their countenance in their work of recovering their legal and constitutional rights under the Govern- ment of the United States.” The Star further expresses the hope that, if such a plan is adopted, the next six months will see at least the Gulf seceding States restored to their allegiance to the Union by the people | within their own borders. The company of Federal Rifles met | tonight at the old Union Building, with the full membership present. The men | were called to order by Capt. J. H. Du- bant.

Boyd | I | William Henry Harrison. DOWN Pennsylvania avenue, banked with cheering “log cabin” enthu- siasts, Gen. Willlam Henry Harrison, hero of Tippecance and standard bearer of the Whigs, rode on a whits charger to the Capitol to become the ninth Chief Magistrate of the Nation. The election to the presidency of the man who, in his youth, had abandoned a peace- ful career as a physician to be- come an Indian fighter on the Western frontier, followed a political campaign famous for its partisan fervor, There had | been vast camp meetings, torchlight processions, the flaunting of gurty ‘banners, the wearing lems and the singing of party songs. It was the first national triumph of the Whigs in 16 years and the mem- | bers of .that party swarmed into Wash- ington to celebrate the victory. For several days prior to the inauguration visitors poured in from distant States and on the eve of the ceremony there was a great influx of citizens from the contiguous States. of Maryland and Vi ia. ‘They came by land and water, in -carriages, on horseback and afoot. Sleeping quarters were at a pre- mium_and furniture dealers became opulent from the sale of cots. Long before sunrise of the morning of March 4, 1841, “the shrill whistle of the cars and the trampling of feet along Penn- sylvania avenue gave notice that the auspicious day of inauguration had ar- rived. At sunrise a salute of 26 guns was fired from the Mall. citizens, roused from their slumbers, thronged the Avenue.” Preceding the general in the parade were his old comrades of the Indian wars and the War of 1812, proud that a soldier had been elevated to the head of the Nation. Gen. Harrison, who had come from retirement on his farm in ©Ohio, wore the clothes of a plain citizen. From windows on both sides of Penn sylvania avenue ladies waved handker- chiefs, the new President returning their smiles and greetings with repeated bows. In the parade were several Tippecanoe clubs and a large log cabin float, on the roof of which were white flags bear- ing the names of States which gave their electoral votes to Gen. Harrison, “Look out for pickpockets,” was the warning tion above an article in the National Intelligencer, a Washing- ton newspaper of that time, which said: “The light-fingered gentry are very active and have already robbed a great number of strangers at the depots at Philadelphia, Baltimore-and Washing- ton.

The funeral procession was two miles long, buildings in the Capital were hung with streamers and festoons of ‘ black, and almost every private dwelling had crepe upon the door knockers. There were 26 pall- bearers, one for each State, who wore white scarfs and black crepe. The coffin, covered with a pall of black velvet embroidered with gold, was placed on a magnificent funeral car drawn by eight white horses, attended by grooms dressed in white.

One of the lads the colonel loved like sons. From time to time the jold man glanced nervously toward the mantel where the clock was racing to meet sunrise. Dash that clock; why did it go so fast! Just a few fleeting hours !and then—dawn; a firing squad; a pale faced lad with eyes looking appealingly toward his comrades; a quick com- mand; a crash of rifle fire—oh, God, why must such things be! The colonel brushed a bit of mols- ture savagely from his eyes, and turned { his back on the clock. He felt like a murderer, for he himself had concurred in the sentence of death on Tommy. One of his own boys, and he loved them all. Why, he had shared their private joys and sorrows for years; been a father to them. Of course, there was the stain on the honor of the old regiment. That hurt badly enough. But in main the colo- nel was thinking of Tommy. He had liked Atkins from the first.

You can't ask a soldier to bayenet a fellow being, and then condemn your man for kissing a pretty face. Tommy may have been a little thoughtless at times, but he never had been really bad—up to this point. Now, Tommy had been convicted of one of the unpardonable sins. He had been condemned on charges preferred by one of the village girls. It had been her word against_his, with no eyewit- nesses. And they always give a girl the benefit of the doubt. Besides, Tommy had been *compelled in honesty to ad- mit that he had been in the girl's cog- pany. There was only one poulaz verdict. The colonel had seen this girl about town. ‘She was a rather flashy type. He didn’t trust her, and he did trust ‘Tommy Atkins. The Old Man felt in his heart that the girl had lied, prob- ably for spite. But there was no proof. And the clock was racing to meet the dawn. There was a tap -at the door. The colonel threw it open, and. there, blink- ing in the unaccustomed light, stood Father Bon, the village priest. The colonel knew him well. Indeed, every soldier in the place had a speaking acquaintance with the benevolent old gentleman in the black robe and the funny flat ha!. which some way achieved dignity through the mane of white hair that fell to his shoulders. “Come in, father,” welcomed the colonel. “You are abroad late tonight.
