each heart the purpose of their training, viz,
to be helpers in leading others Heavenward.
The little iron gate is passed, and they enter
Grace House. Two rooms, furnished with
desks, black boards, etc, are occupied by in
structors and classes; the tuition begins; 1t is
most interesting to watch the eager, upturned
faces and to listen to the clear position of Bible
or prayer book, history or hygiene, or later in
the session to vivid description Of how to

There is nothing to distract the attention !;
occasionally the chimes from the adjoining
church only act as a stimulate.
The more practical courses are bookkeeping,
and lessons at the Now York Cooking School.
These prepare the future Deaconess for helpful

There is q faculty Of several instructors, of
which the Rev. DR.. Huntington is Warden,
and the Rev. Haziitt McKim, Dean. Two
classes one senior and one junior. The
studies cover careful instruction in the Holy
Scriptures. the Book Of Common Prayer, with
special reference to Bible-class teaching, ancient
and modern Church history, pedagogy, hygiene,
and sanitation, besides bookkeeping and prac-
teal lessons in cooking. Three months in each
of the two years are also given to tho actual
and daily care of the sick, under competent
guidance.

THE TRAINING SCHOOL.
The success of this school, now firmly estab.
lished, is chiefly owing to the untiring and
personal devotion of Rev.'Dr Huntington, ably
assisted by the Rev. Hazlitt McKim and other
members of the faculty. It's sessions are most
interesting. The students assemble each morn

the Gothic chantry of Grace Church, and join

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Can you tell
me why the Cd and 80 Nd, p. III. B., were as
signed 10 the Twenty second Corps at the En-
campment at Washington, as neither one of the
regiments ever served day nor hour in that
corps? The only time the Sd Nd, p. Ii. B.,
ever saw Washington as regiment was on a
hot sultry July day in 1864, when it marched
through the streets on its way to Smokers Gap
to hold a conference with Pap Early's move in
the future.-Rev. JOHN II. BARNEY, First Ser
geant, Co. b, Sd Nd, p. Ii. b., Hancock, Md.
The assignment of the Potomac Home Bril-
gade TO the Twenty-second Corps was for con-
yenienee. and purely arbitrary. The Commit
tee on Reunions made rule that all the or
CARNATIONS in the Army of the Potomac not
definitely assigned TO any corps should be con.
sidered as belonging to the Twenty second
Corps This rule applied to the Potomac Home

An italian method of cooking spaghetti and
cheese and tomatoes makes a very nice dish.
Cook one pound of the spaghetti in three
quarts of boiling sailed water, until it is tender,
for about As minutes. Then drain it through q
colander and set the colander in tin pan in
the oven to dry the paste somewhat. Boil .
can of tomatoes down until it only makes about
q pint, and season them with salt and pepper
and scant teaspoonful of sugar. Prepare
three ounces of melted butter and the same
amount of grated cheese. Have dish hot
aud put into it, in alternate layers, the spa
ghetti, tomatoes and cheese, pouring over each
layer some Of the melted butter. Then mix
the entire mass with fork, sprinkle little
cheese over the top and serve it as separate
course OF with the dinner vegetables, as pre-
ferred.

Chill the cream thoroughly before whipping it,
and lot the dessert be cool when it is served.

The one shown has Ye tyes" embroidered in

| either to hold the gown during the day or to
hold those that are in the drawer. A pretty
one was made of china silk with white back
ground "fowered DER" with little arbutus
blossoms and leaves. The lining is Of pink
silk tufted with little knots of white ribbon.
Two bands ACROSS the inside hold the gown In
place and two bows fasteu the sachet. The
amount of material used WAS three quarters OF
q yard of the ordinary width-24 inches. The
lining silk was trias narrower, but as the
outside was hemmed over the lining it was all
right. In making the sachet first the cotton
was parted and sprinkled with satchet-powder,
then the lining silk was basted to it, and the
ends and sides were whipped together to keep
the powder from scattering out. Then the
lining and cotton were tufted together with
pieces of baby-ribbon about six inches long.
These were threaded through a large-eyed
darning needle, and it was not difficult to draw
them through. Then the outside piece was
basted in place and the hem-fully half an inch
wide-was basted down. After the hem was
lightly sewed, it was cat-stitched down with
pink silk floss. When the bands and bows were
on, 1t was very pretty gift.
Another sachet, equally useful, Is for stock
ings. 1t can be made in the same way except
its dimensions differ, it being longer and mar
rover. The one shown in the cut has q rufflle
of lace around the edge and is tied with but
one bow. There must be two bands for hold

Now that doylies are made in such profusion,
