 The Shirt Waist.

The shirt waist, says New York fashion writer, has a firm hold on wo- mans heart-and a man S, too, as far as tha. goes, for the average man is very fond of natty looking shirt waist. Perhaps that's ono reason woman has been so true to this garment so long. Another reason is because it's definition is solid comfort. The spring and sum- mer shirt waists, which are now dis played in the big department stores, will be even moro comfortable than those of 1897, and the designs are far more beautiful The blouse is the fa- vorite style, and cotton, oheviot, pique in all coiors. duck and fine ginghams are most desirable materials. Women generally got enough of fiimsy shirt waists last season. Those made of sheer linen, batiste, organdie, and so on are beautiful to look at, but the beauty all comes out in the wash. These materials do not take starch well, and it is i'm possible to give them fresh, stylish look in laundering them. Thus the chief charm of shirt waist van1shes. The materials which promise to be most fashionable this year all do up well and look better after each washing
 Stripes are very modish, and most o1 them run round instead of up and down This gives a plump look to even ar angular figure, especially when tht waist is made to blouse. The waist' made of bias plaids are also swaggel looking. Those made of cheviot, duel or pique, in white or solid oolors, ar' embellished with tuoks running up down, across or zigzag, according t fancy. A figure that does not look wei in a shirt waist is to be pitied, but ther arc plenty of such figures.

"As ye would that laen do to you do even so to myself, If this is followed out, success is attainable and heaven is as sure as your existence is. If others treated us as we do ourselves, the courts would be full of grievances. Follow this, and drunkenness, Hcentiousness, dishonesty, liars, frauds, etc., would all disappear Take this rule, then live 1t, act 1t, die by it and enter glory.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The un- derstanding at the War Department IS that the total number of regulars and volunteers which will be dispatched to Manila in command of Major General Merritt will approximate q ,000 men. Ot these 10000 already have left San Fran cisco in three separate expeditions. With the troops now at San Francisco and those on their way to that city the remainder of the Eighth Corps will be made up.
 The Wyoming Battery of Light Ar tillery arrived at San Francisco to- day, while the First Regiment of New York Volunteers yesterday re- ceived the order to proceed to San Francisco for duty with the Philippine expedition. This regiment has been quartered in several of the forts around New York harbor, and is commanded by Colonel Thomas M.
