Gentle Mrs, Gray and Mis* Harland, the invalid whose th in , scarlet cheeks .and brigh t eyes told too plainly the presence of the de­ stroyer, the quiet rector and the somewhat pompous major, with his little blond wife, made up our party. “Borne one tell a story, please,” cooed the p re tty blond, tossing aside . “Hero ..Worsh ip^ ., “Wha.eyer.kne a live hero?” she laughingly asked “I,” promptly answered Mrs, Gray.. “flow delightful!

Who was he?” . “The only true heroism th a t ever ■canie under my immediate notice,” said the little woman, “was display­ ed by a hero of ebon hue, a strong • young Hercules, who, though, rough and untaught, possessed a grand nature.” “Yes,” assented the sentimental major, “often among the humblest flowers we find the rarest odors.” “And,” resumed Mrs. . Gray, “among the busy workers, with hardened hands, and toil" stained faces, we find great heartB. During tiio late war,” she continued, “my father- and bro ther were in tho army, and, the overseer, being d raft­ ed into service, my mother, my sis- , ter and myself were compelled to leave our beautiful home in the city and go up the river to the planta­ tion to manage as best we could the , affairs of th a t place. ■ “Our people were trustworthy and kind, so we had bu t little trou ­ ble. A few weeks a fter our arrival at the plantation our h ea rts were saddened by th e death of a much loVed servant, Rachel was her name, She had nursed my mother’s older children, and we were all very muqh attached to her.. Eachel died, suddenly of heart trouble, the phy­ sician'said, and her little children were cared fo r by a good old granny. Albert, the husband of Rachel, was a field hand a n d a reliable man.” “Of wh,at time do you speak ?” “This was in the spring of 1864, The transmisaisfeippi department was under the command of the Con federate General \ Kirby Smith. The struggle east of th e Mississippi river had drawn from us the chiv­ alry of the g rea t southwest. The sons of Arkansas, Mississippi, froui- - siana and Texas were scattered from Gettysburg to Vicksburg, and a 5i- ■ minished force composed of th e fa ­ thers and husbands was left to meet » the gathering foe th a t threatened, with General Steele a t L ittle Rock and General Banks a t Alexandria, La. The conscript bureau had gleaned the fields of the last of *the ‘bearded grain,' and nothing was left bu t ‘the flowers th a t grew be­ tween’—the boys too young to go. “Then a .new order came,; and the men slaves Were impressed aiid sent to, the shops as laV/fors and team­ sters in the various departments to fill such places as they could in or­ der th a t fo r every slave so employed 'a.so ld ier could bo relieved and.go to. the fron t.

' “We called our slaves 'ou r peo­ p l e / ” responded Mrs. Gray, with a smile. “They were impressed in to . service and sent to Shreveport, La., to work. Among the men Was one who had been married only a year. He objected to leaving his wife and baby. Jake was his name.

'The most striking style to the visitor from the United States are the morning slip­ pers worn- by youthful belle and staid matron a .ik e .. One'common kind is a mere sandal, consisting of a $o,l<? and a single band across- the lower instep. The sole may be 'of fancy leather, felt, twine or woven hemp. Some are made of water­ proofed cloth slightly stiffened and jm-nnforced-in-tho-hollow by- a -steel spring or piece of leather. The band should, however, be of silk or velvet of some- rich color, bright or dark, which throws the footaoutri-a hold re lie f.!.

According to the na­ tives, .this is. worn by women who have distorted or deformed their feet by wearing tigh t boots. In tlie&o sandals the upper may bo of silk or satin fo r the wealthy or. of wool, cotton or lipen for the poorer classes. The commonest pattern is of firm check in polychrome and next to th a t a series of brilliant stripes like a Roman scarf. The ultra fashionable have this piece embroidered in silk floss and silver and gold thread and jeweled with seed pearls .or chips of precious stones.
