OF true love neither age nor homeli-
ness cut any figure at all; anything
feminine was to be wooed and won.
No wonder, then, that the captain
congratulated himself on the acuuisi-
ton of Fathers, who, besides acting
as cook. made himself in other ways
invaluable about the house But, be
it added as an important codicil to all
that has been said of Fathers, an iron
army regulation forbade the employ
.ment of the soldier in any so-called
mental capacity, and, no matter how
gladly Fathers undertook his extra
duties, and however impossible it was
to secure a civilian substitute, it was
nevertheless contrary to orders.
But to return to the supper. Flath-
ers had excelled himself in its prepar-

A Rumor About the Chisnon.

The latest rumor in regard to hair
dressing is that the waterfall or CHG
non is about to return and render the
heads of womankind the monstrosities
they were generation ago. Even the
accompanying net is threatened. The
only comfort is that this is a go as
you please" era, and it is not at all
likely that a fashion SO ugly will pre-
vail to any great extent. A more i'm
mediate prophecy is that the uem ure
parting is about to depart and the POM
padour will take its place. There isno
style so charming for a low, broad
forehead as the loose, softly brushed
pompadour. The hard, clearly defined
roll is inartistic, and the hair can easily
be made to stand up with a pretty,
puffy effect by waving it on the
crimping pins or with the waving
irons with half a dozen prongs, which
come for the purpose. - Philadelphia

matter Of course. The remainder Of |
the evening passed pleasantly enough,
number of the officers of the post
calling to pay their respects to the
visitor; and when the captain and the
colonel parted at bedtime, they were
apparently on the best of terms.
The next morning the colonel awoke
later than he had intended, His bed
room was as cold as Greenland, and as
he tossed the covers aside with
shiver, his muddy boots and clothing
met his eye. But as he hurriedly
donned his uniform, another unpleas-
to perform his additions, he found, to
his disgust, that there was ice an inch
thick in his pitcher. However, with
thoughts of warm fire and hot break
fast awaiting him below, he finally
finished his dressing and descended
to the library. Not soul was to be
seen, and the house was as cold as the
bedroom he had just left. Not a fire,
not a sign of breakfast was visible, as
the colonel, his hands in his pockets
for warmth, sauntered from room to
room.
Before long the front door opened,
and Capt Riverton entered, clad in
overcoat, fur cap, and gloves Nothing
could be more hearty than his greet
ing to his superior as he asked him
how he had rested, and, courteously
inviting him to be seated. handed him
the paper, just arrived in the morn
ing's mail. The colonel, with a CLEAN
of hope, complied, and the captain,
without removing overcoat and gloves,
sank into an easy-chair and casually
picked up a magazine. AS his guest
did not seem particularly interested in
the paper, the post commander laid
the magazine down and strove to be
agreeable; but to the guest it seemed
as though his host talked about every
thing in the world except the subjects
which were uppermost in his mind, his
cold and hunger.
Finally the colonel could stand it no
longer. He was chilled to the bone,
and as ravenous as bear.
"Well, captain, how about break
fast?' he began, mildly.
"Breakfast?" answered the post COM
mander, absent-mindedly, as if the
thing had just occurred to him. ''Oh,
/ had mine at the traders hours ago.
Not very Observation-Disclosures and sar-
dimes; but then, you know, we soldiers
should not complain"
The colonel unused in gloomy 81
lence.
whats the matter with fire this
morning, anyhow?' he finally asked.
WELL" replied the captain, cheer
fully, 81 hardly had time to build the
fires myself this morning; but. l de-
clare, the exercise of walking in the
open air has quite warmed me up"
And he slowly removed his gloves.
Again the inspector relapsed into
gloomy silence. Then, with start,
he jumped up impulsivelv and gazed
out of the window at tn leak land
scape. Finally he turned about.
II say, captain, don't you think, un-
der the circumstances, you had better
recall Private Flathers?'
But, colonel, the regulations"
'Oh, hang the regulations" the
colonel ripped out.
And Fathers was recalled-Lippin-

FEMININE FASHIONS,
Odd Notes on the Latest in Women's
Costumes.

Odd Notes on the Latest in Women's
Costumes.
A stylish dress of pale-green crepon
has round skirt, very wide at the
hem, and a trimming of velvet ribbon
set in at the waist-line and drawn
down over the skirt about one-half the
distance, where it meets very large
bows with loops and ends. There are
eight of these bands around the skirt,
four on either side.
A dress of India null, with stripes of
embroidery, has a corselet belt made
OF five bands of ribbon. These are
gathered into a series of loops at the
back, and from this belt fall five ends
of ribbon, spreading over the back Of
the skirt. The sleeves are finished
with very large bows, and there is a
ribbon collar with a bow at the back
of the neck.
White linen collars and cuffs are
again in favor for ladies' wear. Some
of the new shirt waists have adjust
able collars and cuffs that may be
Numbered like those worn by men.
This has advantages, as collars on the
garment do not do up as easily as those
that are detached.
Black satin and MORE skirts will be
worn with velvet waists as soon as the
wrap can be discarded. One of the IA
vorite waists is OF black velvet with
satin sleeves. Another is of dark blue
velvet with velvet sleeves and a pro.
fusion of jet garniture.

things, seemed thoroughly to enjoy
himself. But the post commander,
who on this occasion was more than
ordinarily observant, could see that
the colonel would ever and anon
glance keenly at Fathers blue uni
form from the corners of his eyes.
Supper finished the two officers lin
gered over their cigars in the best Of
spirits. But as the conversation
dragged little, the colonel seemed to
have something on his mind.

excellent cook an excellent cook,

Eyes, I consider myself extremely
fortunate, colonel, in securing such a
man." replied the captain, with a
tinge of embarrassment.
"Ahem. Yes, yes. However. I OBJ

the national uniform. He cannot, of
course, be one of our soldiers" con-
tinued the inspector.
He is a soldier from my troop,
colonel; but with cooks as scarce as
they have been about here l could
hardly do otherwise than utilize him. ="
What! Is it possible? A soldier
employed in this mental capacity, con-
trary to the army regulations? This
will never do. Be kind enough, cap
tain, to send for your man" And then,
turning to Fathers, who had just en-
tered the room, the colonel said, stern
ly: Report to your first sergeant fo,
