~ MILITARY
COY CORNER.

The Daughter Of the Regiment sighed.
Life was pretty dull with the soldier
boys absent in far distant Cuba, and no
reasonable excusc afforded her for DON
ming her nice military dress with the
gilt braid and brass buttons. Tho other
girls over whom she had lorded 1t while
the regiment was in Damp near home
came in to o'clock tea with an air OF
ostentatious equality which was very
trying to a military autocrat from q
mere everyday civilian. The Daughter
OF the Regiment ground her teeth in
chagrin. What was the use OF being an
honorary member OF crack military
organization. with your favorite male
relative In command. when there was
no means Of making outward and visi-
bic demonstration OF your superiority
over other women? She lay awake
nights worrying over 1t and lost at least
five pounds OF flesh in the process,
which the other girls were mean enough
TO say was anxiety lest the dozen spe-
cial men who carried her photographs
to the front should get to comparing
notes down in Cuba or lest the entire
dozen should escape the enemy's guns
and come home at the end OF the war
to claim the original.
One afternoon as she was dealing out
deadly green tea to her unsympathetic
rivals the Daughter. OF the Regiment
had an inspiration. One of the girls was
talking about a sofa cushion which she
had seen somewhere. 1t was covered
with a patriotic cover OF red, white and
blue ribbon.
The next day the Daughter Of the
Regiment went to work. She selected
the bay window In the back parlor and
across the window had the carpenter
build low. broad seat. This she cush-
ioned thickly and then threw over II
large bunting flag as draping. Along
the back Of the seat she arranged dainty
pillows to carry out her idea of having
a patriotic cozy corner. One pillow
was covered with silk flags. the deep
cord around the edge being Of red, white
and blue silk cords twined together.
Another pillow was made OF stripes Of
red. white and blue satin ribbon. the
edges OF the ribbon being embroidered
together with gold thread I'm a design

New CotiIIon Figures.

Cotillons are great feature of dances

looking out for new figures. Here are

throw them up in the air in sight OF the
lady, and the possessor OF the pancake
showing the word Yes" written on the
reverse side has the right TO dance with
her.
The following Is the most inexpensive
.hgure imaginable, only requiring a cou-
pie or coins. The coins are tossed up in
the air, the lady previously deciding
whether "heads" or tails" is to mean
one partner or the other. The myste-
rious screen is another amusing figure.
An aperture is made In q Japanese
screen, and a lady shows her eyes
through II. The gentlemen, who stand
In row. have then to make a guess as
TO the lady's identity The one who
guesses right gains the dance with her.
Here is funny, rather rough, figure
A lady is seated upon a chair at one end
or the ballroom. A number OF men stand
at the other end, each holding his left
foot in his hand. At a given signal the
race begins. The one who reaches the
lady first, hopping on his right foot,
gains the honor of the waltz with her.
Another mode is for a circle OF men to
surround a lady. while others outside
the ring attempt to catch her. So much
room Is required for the proper dancing
OF the cotillon, for at the commence
ment of the dance all those who take
part in 1t are seated. that chaperons
should be respectfully asked to make
themselves scarce. The leader OF the
cotillon. when wishing to intimate that
figure is at an end. may ring little
bell or clap his hands. as he chooses.

should not be strong Take the plants
out of the pot occasionally and have a
look at the root. where sometimes will
