O fictitious tale of feminine love,: pathos arid devotion ever written j can approach ' the realities -of woman's part in the Civil War. Popular novels and dramas have dealt with the sentiment and the nobilitV tKat the-women of the North and South brought into those grim days. But the 3 Y true story of woman's part nv the war has never been told until now.f n -MAJOR" PAULINE CUSHMAV We have always pictured v feminine beauty: at : home Lovers l sighing while , ronnnn rmred" the-Northern pirlV - . f SCT - and the Southern lassie rushed into danger for their country s sake as well as did their fathers, their- brothers; their - sweethearts. In the newly discovered; ' 1 ... w Photographs you can-see the picture of one woman after an other who voluntarily risked ignominious death, time and again, as a secret agent or spy. You can see faces alight with youth and beauty and yet you read that these girls In quest of the information that their general so desperately needed, risked detec tion, and the instant nameless execution which would follow it, by entering into the enemy's lines. The Federal army had numerous women scouts and secret service agents, one of the most famous being "Major" Pauline Cushman, who barely es caped hanging. She was actually tmder sentence' of death, having been caught within the lines of the Confederacy, but she escaped and managed to re gain the Union lines in the confusion of the evacua- . tion of Shelbyville. Tfte joy of the soldiers at her safe return was Indescribable. This is only one of the women whose sweet faces are pictured, and brave deeds recounted in .

After her capture, she managed to get held of her guard's gun, killed him, and escaped on the. horse of the Colonel of. the Regiment. "The Crimson Drama?' From Start to Finish ( rfl' rtfcttirea.
