of great Importance yet fashion writers
are generally tempted to leave them un-
honored and unsung in favor Of millinery
and ball and street attire. Taste, evCn

painstaking are shown in their develop
ment from simple fabrics to finished gar

The wrappers are made in two funda-
mental shapes, with such variation as may
be deemed advisable. One Is the princess

Bunches of yiolots are very much liked,
and l think oftener seen than any other
flower, though all the others are repre-
sented.
Pearl gray, ashes Of roses, tan and slate
gray are among the choicest of the colors
for very nice outdoor dresses. One OK

Around the bottom there was a deep
braided design dono in fine white braid in
vermioelli pattern to the depth Of 10
inches. Over this was laid another larger
pattern at intervals, in heavier braid. The
rest of the skirt was quite plain The
bodice was a blouse completely covered,
the sleeves also, with a rich design of
braiding carrying out the samo general

We are on the verge of the natural reac-
tion after 30 much brilliancy of coloring,
and we find that black is suddenly a first
favUrite and that all the stores are making
special displays Of all black goods. OF
these silks naturally head the list, followed
by the fine silk and wool mixtures and
fancies, then the all woods and finally the
Urepons and mohairs. Mohair in all the
variety of weaves is better liked than the
orepon.
Last summer more than one-half Of all
the light silks were blue or blue and white.
This season opened with a little OF every
thing, but, after ell, the blue shades are
still more popular than any other color. We
find the shades Of navy, cadet, turquoisei

as several unnamed shades. These out

waited day in and day out for months
before its roots are firmly fixed in the
top soil of your oerebellum. The port
and presence of the soldier are nothing
more than habit
The national guardsman of week or
80 ago, now a member Of Uncle Sam g
volunteer army, may have imagined
himself a soldier then, but now he
knows the difference. The weekly drill
and the annual week in camp taught
him the mere rudiments Of the business
Now he is really learning something
about it.
The seasoning period in the state
camps for which the army authorities
have arranged is a wise and merciful
provision. There is deal more to sol.
diering than the knowledge of how to
present arms or execute a right shoulder
shift. For one thing the recruit must
learn how 20 live soldier fashion. The
pampered civilian, accustomed to steam
heat and feather beds, must learn to
live in the open. He has got to get rid
Of some Of the softness with which civ.
iliZation has afflicted him physically
and bark back to the borderlands Of
barbarism. The novelty of life in a Sib.
hey tent is no charm against the pneu.
monia and typhoid which camp on the
trail of the city bred soldier. With care
both can be avoided, and the recruit
neeas TO learn the lesson early in the
game.
a He has, too, to encounter the results
of a changed occupation. The young
man whose daily task has been nothing
more severe than the handling of a set
of double entry books from an office
stool perch finds his muscles aching
after he has tramped up and down on
guard duty for a couple Of hours carry
ing 10 pound rife and 80 pound kit,
but if he is made of the right stuff,
and he probably is, he doesn't com.
plain and IN little while finds nothing
to complain Of.
But there is one feature of soldering
shat is not mastered so easily. This is
the iron bound discipline of the army.
Being born and bred free citizen of a
free republic he is somewhat staggered
when for the first time he realizes all
that the aristooracy of the shoulder
strap means for him. His first gaze into
the wide abyss which separates the
private from the officer is apt to be an
astonishing revelation.
At the annual enoampments he has
only laughed at the assumption of airs
by the regimental officers. For the
authority that would end with the week
he cared not, but the authority which
is to hold sway for months and perhaps
years is distinct and serious PROPOSE
tion.
He finds that young Jones, whom he
helped elect captain Of his company,
from being comrade approachable at
any and all times has become an auto
crat to whom he must touch his cap

10 drilled IN squads, by tours, by two
sets of fours by three sets of fours and
so on, until he can do his work as q
member of large body. Then he has
to learn the manual of arms. II he goes
into the cavalry, he has to be drilled in
the use Of the saber, revolver and car
bine and taught how to ride. Also he
has to get some knowledge Of the horses
anatomy. If he is to be light artillery
man, he has to learn good part of the
cavalrymens duties and drills, in addi-
tion to finding out how TO handle the
fieldpieces. If he is heavy artillery
man, besides being taught the use of
the big guns he must be taught much
that an infantryman has to learn, for
he will be armed with rifle, and part
of his work is purely infantry work.
Next he must learn to eoonomize his
strength when possible and put forth
all his reserve power when necessary.
One by one the complex needs Of civil
lized life must be Topped off. Just now
1t is probable that his feminine friends
and relatives have numbered him up
with all sorts Of alleged comforts,
When he goes south, he will begin to
get rid Of them, and his trail will be
strewn with discarded kniokknaoks.
After his first 20 mile march he will
conclude that if he is going to be SOL
dier he cannot be pack horse.
Another lesson of self preservation
yet awaits him. When he gets away
from the latitude and longitude Of
home, he must learn to stick to the ar
my ration when he eats and have a care
when he drinks Nothing so crumples
up the young recruit as his habit of eat
ing and drinking everything that comes
handy. Reveling in a magnificent appe.
tite and a glorious thirst, it is hard for
him to be discreet, and, as Kipling says,
"he wonders why he is frequent de-
ceased.
The seasoned soldier does not thus ex-
pose himself to disease and illness. You
don't catch him eating all kinds of
fruit, ripe or unripe, sitting around in
wet clothes when he can get into dry
ones or standing in the sun when it ism t
necessary. He doesn't banker after the

rnost apytning loose and baggy providing
the material is right and the finish perfect.
A new and very summerlike design Is
Of pale lilac and white check In soft wool.
The skirt Is cut In tunio form only that
the lower part Of it is in the back and the
high In front. The seteS is outlined In
the narrowest black velvet ribbon. One
row Of that enolrcles the bottom and rises
In twist In front. The blouse waist Is
trimmed with fiat band of lilac faille
with the narrow velvet on each side. The
belt and high collar are of the faille. A
hat and parasol matching the oolors
were furnished.
Parasols are chosen to match different
gowns, at least in color, and great bless
ing has been found for those with slender
purses in parasUl which has from two to
four different covers which can be taken
off and put on in minute. The handle Is
handsome and the most costly part, and
thus lady can have say, four parasols at
about the cost of two. A pretty fancy Is
seen In tho naming OF the new parasols.
One very rich looking black parasol one

regular ohovoux de frise with stiff wings
fastened on so that their sharp points turn
In every direction. Some Of them have
all the soft oolorings Of the eagle plumes
and others again are pure white wings or
dyed ones. The bright spangles are not
at all ugly. The wings are set among 6ow

he makes the most of the government
ration, is careful of his drinking water,
trenches his tent properly and retains
his health in almost any climate.
But most important Of all is the dis
cipline, for no matter how vigorous a
soldier is he is not useful unless he can
be controlled with prompt eXactness.
An army il machine and every man
is a part of the machine, allowing for
the intelligence of the individual at
that.
The shrewder, keener, the more
thoughtful each man in the machine is
so much the better The intelligence of
the individual might be characterized
as the temper of that part Of the ma
chine which the man constitutes. But
still the army is machine which is
ideally perfect whsn it is under perfect
control.
That desirable coordination of all
parts of an army is only secured when
every soldier is soaked and saturated
with the idea of discipline. 1t is some
thing little harder for the freeborD
American to attain than for any other
kind of man. Your American is prone
to criticise, to judge, to complain. He
isn't exactly insubordinate or unruly,
but is as free of thought and speech as
be is of birth.
1t takes him longer to control his
feeling of Independence than it does the
man Of less independent notions, and
the machine of our army is little ION.

but at last it is the finest army on
earth, because the first difficulty that i.
bore, just mentioned, makes for fineness
Of temper.
This last perfect state comes when
the soldiers response to any command,
any kind of an order, so long as ii il
given by one who has right to com.
mand, is instantaneous and thoroughly
instructive. When the volunteer arrives
at this stage, he has learned not only

tary etiquette. If, perohanoe, he is de-
tailed with camp cleaning squad it

he, in brown service clothes, digs

But he finally learns discipline, not
only that imposed upon him by his su-
perior officers, but that which he i'm.
poses upon himself. This Is one Of the
bitterest pills he has to swallow, but
when it's down he finds that the taste
left In the mouth is not bad; that he
still retains his own self respect.
While he is being seasoned, mentally
and physically the setting up process
about which we hear so much goes
steadily on. He is taught how to stand
ON his feet, rest ON his hips and hold
his chin. When he has acquired the
