The roar of artillery and small arms rose
from the scene of conflict. The smoke OF
battle, of burnt gun powder, tloate d
above the fupereal pines obscured the sun
and threw gloomy shadows across the bat
tie field.
During the fight a group of officers on
horst back, including General Ewell, all IN
their uniforms, rode up in the rear of the
battalion and suddenly halted in the
shade VS. of the pines. The commanding
general sat on his horse and listened for
a few moments, intently, silently. Then

WHAT THEY WEAR.

GOWNS of moire are new and very stylish.
For spring and summer travelling wraps
the redingote is the garment Of the near III

HIGH authorities echo each other that prin-
,esse gowns are coming in, though as yet
only those of the best dressmallers find favor.
Artistic costuming gains ground in London
when instead of fashion plates the best
modistes now consult the museums and pct

let bonnets, with the beads forming an
open cross bar pattern, are filled in with
tulle, of black, poppy red, suede or apple
green, according to fancy.
Sashes of the gown stuff, simply hemmed,
and eight inches wide, are set in the under
arm seams of many childrens dresses, and
tied in a double bow at the back.
A new idea for bodices of soft stuff is to
have the full front caught in at the waist by
bands of inch wide ribbon SO crossed as to
form double diamond and give a slender
effect
Tucks appear in all fabrics, from tulle to
cloth, and while in the light stuffs they are
run with floss silk, in the heavier ones they
have a layer of wadding added to give rlcn
effect.
Figure dances, such as the minuet, the
pavanne, the mazurlla and the redowa are
the features of Partisan 'small and earlles"
the waltz and galop being quite out OF

Ruches of roses and rose petals trim the
foot Of tulle ball gowns, which have detached
sDravs caught here and there upon their
draperies and some, even, panels close set
with the flower.
A gray plush, cut princesse, lined through
out with cream silk and falling loose over q

steel, is among those things that make wo-

Wooden velvet-velour de laine-is among

materials for spring wraps, but SO delight
fully light, rich and warm that no intending
purchaser can grudge the money.
Straight draperies of gray cloth, ovel
plated panels of white cloth, with a gray
sash, forming panniers, and gray wais
shirred at shoulder and waist, make up one
of the most stylish new spring costumes.
