are calculated to assimilate as near as possible with sur-
rounding objects, so that the wearer of the uniform would
present as indistinct a mark as could possibly be offered for
an enemy's fire. Here samples may be seen of complete
dresses made in the various hues of the neutral gray. the
mixed colours of heath, and also a brown mixture, the 'C'olouer

each is of a character calculated to please
who may be called upon to wear it.
