She is one of Virginia's fair daughters. Her fa ther was a Confederate officer, and mone had better claim to the title of “southern belle” than she. She held her court among the young men and women of Virginia until she determined to forego the pleasures of the ballroom for the arduous duties of a hospital nurse. To fit herself for the MISS GENEVIEVE WILSON gearing for the sick of all nationalities she went abroad and mastered German, Italian and French languages Returning to America, she took up her pourse In Bt.

Women generally do not do justice to pretty gowns because they have not learned how to put their things smartly or even neatly. They have ac quired the art of dress, but not the still more subtle art of dressing.

An undue humility has much to answer for.
