The lack Of intelligence and fancy is
plainly seen in the women of Havana,
and certain outward grace supplies
this want in some measure. In church
or in the theatre, in the ball room or at
the bull fights in the circus, the ladies
are conspicuous by their imposing de-
meanor and majestic carriage. But
this graceful department is artificial
and acquired. Their conversation is
as dull in form as it is trivial in mat
ter, and there is no play Of fancy or
sprightly wit to give charm to words.
How such monotonous existence can
be passed without any occupation be-
yond that of the toilet, the table and

1t is popularity of house construc-

of most families can be observed by
passers along the street. In conse-

people dwell chiefly on the ground
floors The huge latticed balconies
stretch out almost to the pavements
and are always open to catch the fresh
air. Thus. if the pedestrian does not
wish to be run down by "volante," he
must hug the wall Of the narrow foot

once take in the interior Of the lighted
room plainly visible through the widely
opened lattice. There he will see gay
ly dressed ladies and caballeros gravely
reclining in rocking chairs and rarely
breaking silence.

of dust down the road, and five minutes
later brisk-looking man drove up and

Even when he opened the gate and
struck the path leading to the kitchen

down his emotions when he reached
the door-steps and the woman waiting
for him. She had her face in her ap-

the money into her lap, and after a

Although the members of the Worces-
ter companies that belong to the I'd
Massachusetts regiment report at the
armory tomorrow morning for a ten
days tour of duty, preparatory to being
mustered out of the United States ser
vice at Springfield, November Sd, they
will not be required to spend all their
time at the armory. although this was
the general impression among the SOL
diers.
This fact was brought out as strongly
as possible at meeting of the cap
tains Of the I'd regiment. with Lieut..
Col. Weaver at Boston. yesterday Capt.
| Edwin G. Barrett of Co A, Capt. C. S.
Holden of Co. H. and Capt. Frank l..

meeting. when the points at issue were
definitely settled
The armories have been secured for
the rendezvous of the companies for
the accommodation of the soldiers who
live out of the cities and towns where
the companies to which they belong are
located. There is nothing to compel
even them to stay at the armory, but
for their benefit the government will
supply mattresses and blankets. Meth

caterer will be on hand to furnish the
needed supplies, and those who wish
will be served three squares a day
while they are on their last tour of duty
and the food will be different from that
given them in Cuba.
1t was explained to the captains yes
terday that the men must report at
their armories tomorrow morning at

at the same hour while the tour of duty
lasts. Every morning there will be a
roll call, and then the men will be Civ

GERS feel is necessary. After the per-
Torrance of this work the men will be
/ dismissed until the next morning at
o'clock, when they will report again for
roll call. If the men do not report for
the roll CALL they will be reported as
deserters, unless a physicians certifi-
cate shows that they are incapacitated
for duty.
THE members of Co. A will be exam
ined by the examining officer, who will
probably be Maj. McGurn, surgeon OF

characteristics which have made him
popular among his associates, and is
not given to the bitterness which too
often marks the advocates of radical

gree of success in this instance"

For the past two years there has been
a chess club at each of the high schools
the Hindoo at the classical, and the
Persian at the English, but these two
have been consolidated into the Wor-

meeting is TO be held this week for the
election of officers and the adoption OF
a set of bylaws.
A communication has been received
from the chess club at Phillips Andovel
academy asking for dates for tour

week.
The meetings of the club are held or
the second Monday of each month, al
ternately at the two schools.
