lines of half-woven gray Silk stockings also come in the same style Some of them have a sort of lattice-work arrangement about the instep and ankles that is very summerlike Some are embroidered in the

to remark that as we bear The sob of Ilate in glad refrain We knoW the soubrette passe is here And new "the play's the thing" again! Everything in this world has a deeper meaning than its face expression The beginning of the theatrical season means more than the merebeginning It means that the spring Is long since a memory of bate-crowned joys or a recollection of cloud-capped sorrowsl it means that the summer is becoming evety day More of a phantom and less a realityt it means that the winter there will be-of about to begin--it moans the autumn in its gorgeousuess and last but not least'it heralds the winter girl while bidding farewell to that' sadly pathetic though apparently very gay 'figure in so clety and modern civilization known as the summer-girl Why yes- I Wouldn't you really if 3-ou have good common you hate to go away to a horrid hotel and be cooped up in one room smelling of all sorts of people who have been there before many a time to lounge about all day with a waas-minded novel in the hand -with every day just like the day before except that it may rain on Monday and be clear on Tuesday and hot on Wennesday and somewhat rooter on Thursday only to rain again Friday and then be indifferently pleasant on Saturday? Wouldn't you hate to be where in the evening the toilet is lingered over because there is nothing down below in the parlors to claim your attention and then to finally go down and to yawn and dance with a lot of girls? What pleasure is there in the world to a young girl in embracing another girl? This question is asked by a young man who knowing what pleasure it is for a man to hug a man judges by analogy that it is about equally as delightful for a young girl to bug another young girl And then Saturday Is always disappointing because it never brings the number of young men hoped for and often fails to send the eny oneWished for But despite it all khe comes back home and declares that she has had a glorious time and may be she thinks she did after it is all over with like the girt several years out of the seminary who hating- the life when she led it looks back on it and is attacked with the hallneination that her sehooldays were the happiest days of her life The philosophy of living however is this: Today is the happiest day Because yesterday is passed and tomorrow may never conte Today is here! And sufficient for the day is the evil thereof-At being a poor rule that won't work both happiness of the day Is also sufficient A Question Freighted With Grave Import and the Manner 'In Which It Was Scene in the Johnson Homestead at Greeneville Tenn Descent of the Ermine Meant the Capture of a Bride Ladles' Home Journal "When then will you marry me?" It was the hundredth time of asking and the first time of showing impatience "I will marry you sir when You are elected judge!" The young man's eyes flashed sharply "And he retorted "will have you when your father is elected Governor of Tennessee!" "A Roland for an Oliver!" The speakers were David Patterson a clever young democratic lawyer of Tennessee and Martha Johnson eldest daughter and child of Andrew Johnson who was at that time the apparently hopeless candidate of his party for the governorship of his state The time was the night before the election and the place the parlor of 'tke Jettison homestead at Greeneville Tonn 'Whether both these young people had 'private knowledge of the democratic victory that was to sweep their state on the morrow or whether they were merely amusing themselves with "lovers' perjuries" for Jove's and their own amusement cannot be known as the wedding day was settled for them by the' result of the election and their marriage was solemnized at their Greeneville home on Dec 13 1856 David Patterson having been elected judge with the same unanimity and on the saute ticket with his future father-in-law Before her manage Miss Johnson bad passed much time in Washington loDurmg her father's service at the capital as member of congress she was placed at sclusd at Georgetown where she near enough to he nith him constantly and from which place she made frequent visits to the white house where she was a great Favorite of President Polk In her girlhood Miss Johnson was regarded as a great beauty and Judge Patterson received the warmest congratulations on his marriage to the clever beautiful girl After their marriage the young couple lived at Greeneville untill 1862 through the first shocks of tbe war Then as the strife about their home was so fierce was deemed advisable that Mrs Patterson should join her father's family at Nashville Andrew Johnson's home att military governor of Tennessee to which President Lineoln had appointed bim in recognition of his loyalty to the union Here the family remained almost Continuously until Johnson's removal to upon his election to the vice- 'dem- prest After the death of Lincoln in 1865 when it became suddenly and uexpectedly necessary for the Johnson family to occupy the white house it was a mooted question as to who should or who could properly diseharge the duties incumbent upon the "mistress" The wife of the President bad neither desire inclination nor strength sufficient to appear in society and she withdrew from all its denifilids on the plea of ill health Mrs Johnson had two daughters just at the prime of life and at a period when most women desire to impress themselves upon the world if they care at all for society One of these daughters was Mrs Stover wife of a plain East Tennesssee farmer and the other was the subject of this sketch Mrs Patterson Neither of these ladies eared at all for social relations or distinctions each preferring the Quiet of family and home life to the exacting demands and empty honors of their necessary position at the bead of the so-slat life of the nation's capital especially at such a time as witnessed their summon-jilts Mrs Stover however being both unable and unwillingto preside the duties of the Mintresas of the White House fell noon Mrs Patterson How well and bow faithfully she litet the 'obligations imposed upon her the history of the times tells welt Among the many good things rwhich may be said of her one is that she retired from the position leaving fewer 1 enmities jealousies and criticisms than would have been possible to anyone else returning to private life from such exalted station when the entree thereto had been with so little social Wining When she first took the reins of government of the white house into her bands Mrs Patterson is quoted as saying: "We are -plain people from the mountains of Tennessee called here for a short time by a national calamity I trust that too much will not be expected of us" Whether ex-1 peetations were great or small having made her excuses she cared little and proceeded to do what she felt it her duty to do Her Invalid mother and her two young children occupied what time she could spare from her housekeeping and social duties The white house was in a deplorable condition of dirt and general disorder ewing to its frequent and unavoidable ill-treatment during the war Carpets and furniture had alike been destroyed by muddy boots and careless treatment while every room was pillaged of its ornaments One of Mrs Patterson's first duties was to restore the house to its orderly and proper condition The conservatories were restocked and then Mrs Paterson made herself unique and famous in one special particular: She wassuot only the first but 1 the only mistress of the white house who opened the parlors and Conservatories to the continuous inspection of the public rek cordless of days It is doubtful if there is in America another woman' who has trod in so many paths of fame and fortune and personal grief who is approaching the grave under the chastening influences of so many Heal Heart Sorrows' She is the last survivor of the immediate family of President Andrew Johnson Of Mr Jobnson's ancestry and other near kinships but very little is known He had three sons and two daughters born to him 'in marriage Four of these children have sad to Say already filled untimely graves and all without living issue although two of them had been married The survivor Mrs Patterson herself has but recently passed through two new seasons of bereavement: one in the death of her husband: the other in the doubly distressing death of her only young woman who a throat trouble in the far-way foot hills of California whither she had gone in the hope of obtaining relief or recovery in the balmy clime of the Pacific This lovely woman left a beautiful little daughter who is now the solo molaee and companion of her stricken grandparent Along with this little child and its father Mr Landstreet at Baltimorean and a servant woman Mrs Patterson now occupies the old Andrew Johnson mansion In Greeneville Tenn where she was born flt)odd year ago and which she took saber share of her father's estate purchasing
