It's wonderfully good plan when buying
gloves TO carry bit of the gown with
which they are TO be worn in ones purse
Try the effect OF It with the gloves. and
lots of trouble will be saved.
Tan gloves may be worn with almost
any costume. And yet there are dozen
different shades of tan. and not all OF
them will harmonic with the color OF
your gown. The brilliant yellow tan, a
very deceptive shade. when viewed IN the
shops, is actually hideous when put with
many colors. The darker colors only seem
to accentuate It, instead OF toning It down.
And 1t looks such a mild, innocent color
when by itself.
The mode tones are by far the safer, as
appropriateness be combined with almost
any color OF gown or hat. Then there are
the redder shades of tan. which look their
best with black. The soft shades OF pearl
and smoke gray are decidedly the best
form for all dress occasions, when white
gloves are not worn. The black stitching
upon these is preferred to white or the
same color.
Black gloves give decided air OF dis
tinction TO many toilets, especially II
there are accessories Of black. The deep
brick-red and reddish-brown are the most
useful colors worn; they last the
longest, and look well generally until the
end
Pale lemon-tinted gloves. heavily stitch
ed with black. and fastened with big
black buttons, divide the favor with white
ones, finished in the same manner. 1t is
rumored that silk gloves and mitts will
be universally worn during the coming
summer, and 1t is to be hoped tho rumor
has foundation. at least so far as the
gloves go, for certainly nothing can
be cooler.

Linen grenadine and linen batiste are
the names given to the new weaves, end
In tone they run more toward gentle

AS to the patterns, there are stripes and
squares in narrow satin lines in a con-
tasting color. white gold. green, blue,
and pink, the striped designs having in
some instances in the two-Inch space be-
tween the bars small dots OF silk in the
same tone.
Then there are linen batistes woven
all over with stripes. squares. or stiff de-
signs In open biscuit lace, and these are
recommended 10 be made over some
bright, becoming silk. which would show
through the perforaton, and take away
from the trying dulness of the linen.
Indeed. IT seems to be generally under
stood that the grass linens are all to be
made over silk.
The few rare models as yet seen were
80 combined, but a little experimenting
proved that, with a plain grenadine or
batlste the same effect could be made
with sateen foundation. and this would
certainly be much less expensive than a
silk one.
A novelty in these linens Is a very pale
crepOnated weave, Calleu 'IrOu-frOu,
which is forty-two-inch width and sells
at $l.9J the yard.
A frou-frou linen gown made up on pink
silk was paraded in a glass case like a

foundation was In the most vivid water

has held undivided sway. yields prece-
dence to color in variety. 1t is the Gus
tom among the fashionable TO have the
hosiery match in tint the gown with which
IL is to be worn.
Some very striking combinations In
colored boots and black tops are apt to
appear offensive to women of quiet tastes;
but color this season Is rampant. So
she must lose her antipathy to vivid

hosiery.
Some very dainty examples are those
with the old-fashioned clock instep. These
are in cotton. Isle. and silk, and are
among the latest importations. They
range in price from co cents TO s2.25. Black
or colored stockings embroidered with
tiny vines or single flowers scattered over
the instep and sometimes reaching over
the top of the shoe. are very fetching.
More elaborate stockings have line or

pattern alternating with a delicate, en-
broidered vine. These are expressly de-

bitter day, these dainty textiles are

most becoming OF all; so one Is not sur
prised to find fair femlnines rushing like
sheep to crop the first blossoms OF the
cotton and linen harvest.

and losing individuality for the time. i will
vouch that no man of the Red Cross Divis-
ion did better service than the fragments of
the Nineteenth and Eighth Corps who served
with us that morning
From the different accounts it seems as IF
the Second Division of our corps did all the
fighting. ] believe that even the official re-
ports of the battle state something on the
same line. If Getty's Division was sepa-
rated from the corps and acting independ-
emily on some other part of the field, there
may be a claim living in their inner con-
scousness that the boys of the White Cross
did ii all. The tendency seems to be to
claim every honor for ones own regiment or
battery, totally ignoring the fact that other
men were brave and patriotic; and no or
ganization had monopoly of heroism, as
far as ] ever could discover.
j always thought that our whole corps
lay in single line-of-battle, except the Third
Brigade of our division, which were doing
duty at Winchester. When the attack came
on us the rebs pressed us with vigor, and,
overlapping our left flank, took our brigade

to leave them and use our rifles The re-
treat was as orderly as if drilling. The long.
blue like was intact from right to left. and
halted, abeut-faced, aud a half-dozen times
drove the enemy out of range. If the Sec
ond Division and the cavalry were doing all
the fighting, am certain, from our losses,
we were furnishing more than our share of
the dead, as the LIST Long Island ceased to
exist from that day. Furthermore, no rebel
soldier came within reach of our rifles from
our halt until the advance in the afternoon.
Some four hours later we halted In an old
dirt road, threw up few rails, cooked our
breakfast, and, as far as / or any other un-
hurt man could see, were ready to renew the
fight at any moment, with the odds, as we
thought, decidedly in our favor.
With the greatest veneration for the
memory of the heroic Sheridan, am morally
certain that no enlisted man OF our division
knew of the absence of the Commanding Cen
eral, and neither of the Jerseys or our bril-
gade ever saw him on that day from first to
last. But if the moral effect of his presence
gained the victory and saved us from capt
ure, we were aware of the fact that he was
