If the tea is in a glass pitcher, the lemon and orange juices each in small glass pitchers, and the other ingredi- ents in an hors d'oeuvres dish or in small separate glasses or fancy dishes, the tray or table will have a very at- tractive appearance. The glasses can be partly filled with the cracked ice, or a bowl of it can be on the tray also. Such an arrangement is advised, for then persons can express preferences about the concocting of their glasses of the beverage and all tastes be suited.

CRAIG. 1 May 27, 1865.—A letter from Gen. | Sherman to 8. M. Bowman, criticizing | the War Department, first published in the New York World, was republished in the newspapers here today, and cre- {ated a great stir in official circles. Here is the letter as it appeared in The Eve- ning Star this afternoon: “CAMP NEAR ALEXANDRIA, Va, “May 19 “Dear Bowman: “I am just arrived. All my army will be in today. I have been lost to the world in the woods for some time. Yet on arriving at the ‘settlements,’ found I had made quite a stir among the people at home, and that the most sinister motives had been ascribed to me. “I have made frequent official re- carefully suppressed, while the most ridiculous nonsense has been industri- ously spread abroad through the news- papers. Well, you know what impor- tance is attached to such matters, and that I have been too long fighting with real rebels, with muskets in their hands, ports of my official action in all public| | matters, and all of them have been| to be scared by mere non-combatants, station. and firm some men become when all danger is past. |of battle brave men never insult the captured or mutilate the dead, but cowards and laggards do. I cannot now recall the act, but Shakespeare records how poor Falstafl, the prince of cowards and wit", rising from a figured death, stabbed dead Percy and carried the car- cass aloft in triumph to prove his valor. “So when the rebellion in vur land is dead many Falstaffs appear to brandish the evidence of their valor and seek to| win applause and to appropriate honors | for deeds never done. “And as to myself I ask no popu- larity, no reward. But I dare the War Department to publish my official let- ters and reports. I assert that my offi- cial reports have been purposely sup- pressed, while all the power of the press has been malignantly turned against me. “I do want peace and security and the return to law and justice from Maine to the Rio Grande, and if it does not exist now substantially, it is for state reasons beyond my comprehen- sion. It may be thought strange that one who has no fame but as a soldier should have been so careful to try to| restore the civil power of the Govern-| ment and the peaceful jurisdiction of | the courts, but it is difficult to discover | in that fact any just cause of offense| to an enlightened and free people. But| when men choose to slander and injure others they can easily invent the facts for the purpose when the proposed vic- ! tim is far away, engaged in public| service of their own bidding. “But there is consolation in knowing that though the truth lies in the bottom of a well the Yankees have persever- ance enough to get to the bottom. “Yours truly, (Signed.) “W. T. SHERMAN.” ‘The Star says editorially that Sher- man may write such letters “without shaking public confidence in the wis-| dom and propriety of President John-' son's act in setting aside his virtual surrender of all achieved by the services and sufferings of our gallant armies adds that although Gen.

G, Su;ight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN Banking by Mail. Many :a check is spent simply be- cause a woman can’t manage to get to the bank with it and she isn't familiar with the way in which one can bank by mail. Banking by mail is not only safe and convenient, it is even desirable. It will depend on whether one’s bank is & savings or a commercial bank. In the case of the former, one leaves her deposit book with the teller at the bank, generally getting a receipt for it. Amounts are then mailed in_together with a special blank obtainable at the bank for the purpose. This is either stamped to show the amount was received or the bank has a special form for acknowledging the funds deposited. In the case of the commercial bank one need only secure the regular de- posit slips. When a deposit is made slips may be made out in duplicate. One is returned to you as a receipt in thekevenl that you have retained your throughout the recent war.” The editor | bool Even this formality is not necessary.

They lead instead of drive, and the child, feeling herself an individual, does not resent this. | Here is an illustration to point the| argument: Three-year-old Peter gets up every morning with a chip on his shoulder, says his mother. When she says “Peter, put on your overalls” he invariably refuses, and sits on the side of the bed, crying, whining, calling his mother & mean old thing, even though she sticks to it until he puts them on. And how self-righteous she does feel about that! All day it's the same story. Tell him something, and he says “No,” despite the fact that he knows in the end he ha. to do it. He is constantly in a state of bad temper, hating every one and everything. The mother is a consclentious person. Bhe feels that Peter's future depends upon “conquering him now.” What she needs to bring calm out of this chaos and make a good-tempered individual of Peter is to recognize the goal toward which she is driving, not to conquer Peter, but to make a man of him, One of his present privileges is in the matter of dressing himself. Why should he be commanded to put on a certain article of clothing? If he has two overalls (and he must have, or there would have been no argument at all), then why not say, “Peter, which shall it be—the blue or the brown?” This makes Peter feel happy and big because he can make a choice of which overalls he wants to wear. It is the same all through the day. There are numerous things about which Peter has & right to make a decision. It is in these little, unimportant ways that we can rightfully help a child to achieve a feeling that he is growing up, that he s learning to discriminate between two lines of conduct. o important that there are no two ways about it Peter will not fuss about carrying out his mother's suggestion; he will understand that on this point there can be no quibbling. Important things rise less and less frequently in & household where the child has as much freedom as possi- ble and is not tagged about all day with commands which, once uttered, become too sacred in the mother’s eyes to be disobeyed.

Later little partitioned trays were laid in the bot-| tom, where papers or articles of impor- | tance were put for safe keeping, and finally large trays and even drawers were added, making the getting at things a more convenient matter. | Modern reproductions are in oak in a dull, rich finish, and as a plece for hall, living room or library in an early Amer- | ican home these can scarcely be im- proved upon.

In other words, after a suit has been opened, unless a shift is really advan- tageous, either from the holding in dummy or other developments of the play, such as leading the suit bid by your partner up-to him through strength, do not shift the suit.

REFRIGERATOR Economical and ABSOLUTELY SILENT can no other automatic refriger- U‘ ator match Electrolux for inexpen- sive operation? ‘Why is Electrolux the only automatic refrigerator that is absolutely silent? The explanation is simple. Electrolux is the only one that has no machinery, no moving parts at all. Machinery requires power. Where you have machinery you're bound to have some wear, some noise, and considerable expense for power to turn the machinery. In Electrolux a tiny gas flame and a trickle of water do all the work. Gas and water are relatively inexpensive, and very little of each is required. That is why the operating cost can be so low —35 to 55 cents a week except in the case of the extra-large models, where 70 cents a week is the outside cost. even if you press your The way this refrigerator works is as simple to understand as the boiling of water in a tea kettle. The tiny gas flame vaporizes the liquid refrigerant. The trickle of water condenses the refrigerant back into liquid form again. This natural, endless cycle keeps your refrigerator cold, freezes ice cubes and desserts. The low temperature in Electrolux is constant be- cause Electrolux doesn’t have to stop and start. It works all the time. Because no moving parts are necessary in Electrolux, it is absolutely silent in 419 Tenth GEORGETOWN GAS LIGHT CO. WISCONSIN AND DUMBARTON AVES.
