A very bright little army woman rose to the occasion well a few days ago when she was one of the guests at a small luncheon given at one of the large hotels for ome distinguished New Kngland people. It was a large affair' and in an impromptu ' manner a number of toasts were given. In the midst of it the little army Woman with hor- - hor heard some one say: .; "We have among us the wife o an officer "in the regular army, and J think it is only fitting that she should respond to the toast 'The Flag.' " The men applauded and the women smiled encouragement, and trembling a little as she held up the glass of wine, the officei's wife spoke: "I belong to a class of women to whom the 'flag is especially near and dear. All day it waves over the roofs of our little, homes in the far frontier, and at sundown the rustle of its folds, mingled with the notes of 'The Star Spangled Banner,' is the hillabv of our babies. We know that it will be the winding sheet of those dear est 1o us.. Since the word bantiago haVbeen written in' our hearts I see yet more in this flag in its red, the blood of our martyrs; in the white, the paleness of their ashen facesrin the blue, the lips se: with the word 'Freecom,' and in the stars, the soul forever." that will shine-on Mrs. Mary A.
