Flags and Decorations of the Kilt
SON House Taken Away.
Gloomy and dismantled of all their
| glory of the last week, the big lofty
| rooms of the Kittson house are keep
| ing themselves cherries company all
the more awful, and lonely by contrast
with the multitude which was theirs
so short time ago. The crowd, the mu-
sic, the flowers and the wonderful col
lection of dear old army flags are
gone. To see these many an old vete-
ran climbed the whole steep grade of
the Selby hill and, hunting out his
particular corps flag, showed it with
pride to his companion. For no one
knows what the sight of those gay
flags was to many Of the G. A. r. Wis
itorS, who gloated over them each
day at the Women's headquarters with
the alteration of a child for favorite
pet or toy. Yesterday they were every
one taken down by Gen. Brook and
Mrs. Brook, all the different corps
flags placed together and rolled in
neat bundles, labeled as they came.
In the afternoon the quartermaster's
wagon from army headquarters came
and the flags were taken to the station
and reshipped to Philadelphia to the
chief quartermaSter, from whom they
came. The pictures at the Womens
headquarters were all taken down yes
terday and were removed by their
owners. The house will be under
efficient Waterman, who has been the
women's right hand throughout all
the work at the headquarters.
