The Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Union
and Citizen Of July 31st gives the fol-
lowing account Of a banquet given by
Colonel J.. L. Torrey of the regiment OF
rough riders:
Colonel J. l.. !Torrey, commanding
the Second United States cavalry at
Panama Park. made his first formal en-
trance into society in Jacksonville last
evening, and in a most happy and novel
manner. In fact 1t was such a unique
affair and arranged in such a thorough
ly delightful manner that the colonel
was the envy Of not only all the gallant
young men at the Windsor hotel, but
also the benedicts, whose wives graced
the banquet table at which Colonel
Torrey and twent-eight beautiful wo-
men sat down to a feast OF tempting
viands and sparkling wines.
LAS is we'll known. Colonel Torrey
was severely injured in a railroad
wreck at Tupelo, Miss. when en- route
to Jacksonville with his regiment, and
he has beer unable to walk since that
time. Up to recently he has been con
time. but he is now recovering, and
while still unable to use his feet, al
get about with the assistance of a roll
ing chair and attendant.
During all this time, the ladies con-
nected with the Seventh Army corps,
/ large plumber of whom are staying
ut the Windsor, have been most atten-
tive to the colonel in many ways, and
he decided to show his appreciation of
this in some manner. The idea resolv-
ed itself into a ladies' banquet, and last
| npnrfnr yyn, thn tt-,o ,1t va,
were issued to twenty-eight ladies,
most of them wives of officers, and the
appointed hour was7:3O o'clock.
The table decorations were most
beautiful, consisting principally of
ferns and yellow daisies intermingled,
wrapped with yellow paper and tied
with yellow ribbons, all indicative Of
the cavalry to which Colonel Torrey
belongs.
The table was in the form Of a fig
IRE a." indicative OF the Seventh Army
corps. Near the angle at the top of the
seven Colonel Torrey sat. with Mrs.
General Lee upon his right and Mrs.
General Burt upon his left.
ut need scarcely be said that the
scene was more charming than words
can picture. Beautiful ladies in even
ing dresses Of varied hue seated around
the banquetting board lent a charm to
the occasion that made it one never to
be forgotten. And 1t is needless to say
that during the ten courses that were
served, there was not a m when
the vivacfty OF those present did not
find full freedom in making the occa-
sion highly enjoyable"

Short skirts are the order Of the day
for all sorts Of outdoor life this sum-
mer, and bicycle skirt cut to reach to
the top OF ordinary walking boots, If
boots were worn, does duty for all the
sports. No girl dreams of playing
tennis, rowing, golfing or yachting in
a street skirt. The short skirt is a de-
cided go, and is always worn with low
shoes and rough stockings.
