'he Soioiers are crea'ihs quite iurore among
the female loneliness with which this place
abounds. When Of duty it is a common sight
To see the soldier boys with charming young
ladies on their arms patroling the hotel piazzas
the avenues. board walk and company streets
The ladies seem 10 be very much taken with the
beauty of the camp. and 10 hear the remarks Of
admiration that fall from their lips has a tend
ency toward making the fortunate Sccupants
feel very vain. Every one has a pleasant word
Tor the boys: they are fast making friends by
their gentlemanly behavior and soldierly bear
ing. so that when the time comes TO break camp
and turn their faces homeward there will be
heard expressions of sorrow on all sides.

The following editorial. which appeared in the
Cape MAY Star, will speak for itself:
in connection with the present encampment al
the Washington Light Infantry. and that Is the
true gentlemanly qualities of the officers and
men Of the command Eight wears since the
corps first encamped at Cape Nav and the i'm
preston made upon all was such as 10 call forth
the highest admiration for those Qualities which
go TO make up both the true gentleman and the
true soldier. Oficered by men of worth and
experience the men quickly learn 10 regard
the precepts laid down for their government
when on duty and instructions for their CON
duct during an encampment from home AS AT

which the true gentleman ever feels Thrown
about him. and the men of the w. Ii {. being
