Among the many letters which come
to me is one which has touched my
heart deeply. It
is from one of
our boys in blue,
a soldier, and Is

it was settled
that we should
wed. I was. called upon for active
duty across the border and that event
has changed the course of my life, I
believe. In several skirmishes I fared
worse than my companions, being
wounded twice. When I bade good-
by to my sweetheart I was a stalwart
fellow, as good to look upon as the
general run of young men, ambitious
to a fault, anxious to rise to the very
height of what an army man may ob
tain as to position.

The

tion is, should I hold the girl I love
better than my life to marry me—if I
am destined to return—or write her
dissolving the bonds? I cannot bear
the thought that she might look upon
me with repugnance—that would be a
living death to me. You are a wom

Will you tell me what I should do for
her happiness and mine?”
There are few sadder cases of the
blasting of love’s young dream, but
from one end of the world to the oth
er there exists at the present moment
many thousands of such cases which
disabled soldiers are trying to fight
out on their cots of pain. Unfortun
ately they do .not understand the
hearts or nobility of women under such
circumstances. With but few excep
tions, when a young girl gives her
heart to her lover it Is not because of
his manly beauty in face or form, his
ambition to forge ahead.
It is his
winning personality, that wondrous,
inexplainable attraction and influence
which draws hearts intended for each
other together. Sorrow and misfortune
make the object of a true woman’s af
fection doubly dear to her. A love
that veers when so tested Is not the
grand, true kind upon which man can
build the hopes and trust of a life
time.
Before harboring the thought of
parting, a man should throw himself
upon the mercy and wishes of his
sweetheart, leaving it with her to de
cide.
Of the thousands of maimed soldiers
abroad who have put this question up
to their waiting sweethearts whom
they left behind, I am glad, nay,
proud, to say it has been vouched
for that not one of the wounded heroes
had cause to repent giving the strong,
enduring love of his heart to the ten
der-hearted girl who in each instance
quickly wrote him that he need have
no fear her heart could ever change,
and that she would stand by her hero
unto death.
Such letters are life elixirs to the
boys in blue facing the enemy’s shot
and shell to guard their country’s
honor. The dear loves at home nerve
the soldier to do his best. What Joy
to know that whatever woe betides
him there are wide-stretched arms
waiting to clasp him, a heart that Is
true as the stars of heaven. The love
of a true woman cannot alter.

Fashion’s Decrees
Gaberdine grows in favor and use,
wearing as well as serge.
Some of the new veils are edged
with Jet spangles, irregularly worked.
Fancy metal bands are coming in
for millinery purposes.
The nose veil is very smart and may
be seen all winter.
Colored linens are much used for
children's wash dresses.
The cartridge plait is retained in the
new French costum és.
Black net robes for evening are bor
dered with colored silk.
Broad bands of fur will be seen on
the tunics of fall dresses.
Gold brocaded silk makes the pre tti-
est of evening slippers.
Castor and gray are the best colors
—after black—for shoes.
Broad-brimmed high-crowned hats
are in straw of two colors.
The vogue for gray shoes has in
creased the demand for gray gloves.
Cyclamen-colored satin velvet with
royal blue net is a new combination.
Coatees of white serge are made to
be worn with navy taffeta dresses.
The modified circular skirt with belt
is in high favor for tailored suits.
Clever Salt Shaker.
Recently a cleverly devised salt
shaker was made, the makers of which
claim that it will loosen clogged salt.
It is of clear glass with a noncorrosive
white metal top. A spiral loop of wire
which occupies the center of the shak
er is turned by a twist of the knob
above the lid. The coil of wire when
turned reaches every part of the In
terior of the shaker, thus breaking up
the salt.

Lord Strathcona a Gentleman Who
Hardly Fitted Into the Present .
Busy Age.'
It was characteristic of Lord Strath-
zona that he adhered all his life to
old-fashioned politeness in letter writ
ing. He long shrank from the use
of an amanuensis or a typewriter, as
being a breach of courtesy, lie pat
terned the openings and subscriptions
of his letters on the old Hudson’s Bay
model. Even the longest or most of
ficial letter he persisted in writing by
hand at an almost incredible cost in
time and patience. On one occasion,
which Mr. Beckies Willson notes in his
"Life of Lord Strathcona and Mount
Royal.” at least considerable physical
suffering was involved. He had had
the misfortune while in Scotland to
fracture one of the bones of his right
wrist. His arm was put in splints,
and while chafing under the restraint
he seized the occasion to make a voy
age to Canada by the way of New
York. In transit his arm became worse,
the Inflammation spread, and he be
came unable to leave his berth. On ar
riving at New York he was met by Sir
William Van Horne, who found him In
a very feverish and distressed state.
Nevertheless, he insisted on accom
panying his friend immediately to Mont
real, where he was induced to put
himself in the care of a surgeon. What
preyed upon his mind most was that
he had a number of letters to answer.
“But,” urged his friend, “you can
employ an amanuensis.”
“I’ve never done such a thing,” Lord
Strathcona declared emphatically. "It
would give great offense, I assure you.
I have always written my letters my
self, and I must do so now.”
But after considerable argument he
consented to try the experiment.
“At least I must sign the letters,"
was his stipulation. Put the pen be
tween my fingers, and. although it
will perhaps be a little difficult and
painful. I must certainly sign the let-
ters myself.”
So the letters were dictated, and
when the sheets were brought to him
the Invalid begged to be left alone to
consider them and affix his signature.
A pen was fastened between two of
his disengaged fingers and a bottle of
ink placed on the table.
When, a couple of hours later, the
secretary entered to dispatch the cor
respondence, he found that to every
letter Lord Strathcona had added a
postscript, scrawled slowly and pain
fully, explaining how and why the
writer had been forced to depart from
his lifelong practice of writing his
own letters and apologizing for doing

Tack Philosophy.
A thing is tragic or humorous ac
cording to the point of view. The
mun who sits on a tack does not share
the onlookers’ amusement. In fact he
is not only pained at his own mis
fortune, but he is pained because he
occasioned someone else to find a de-
gree of pleasure In his unseemly plight.
Now it Is perfectly safe to make this
positive statement in this connection :
The person who witnessed the other's
unfortunate encounter with the tack
never deliberately sits on the same
tack himself; in fact, he is particu
larly cautious about sitting down any
where soon thereafter without look
ing for a tack.
Nor is this an indictment of tacks.
Tacks serve a very real and useful
purpose In this world, but they have
their place, which is not in localities
where they may be sat upon.—Wil

zine.
