enemy the next day about noon.
The wires had been cut 50 to warn

equally so-eyery man was needed to
hold the present important position
until the reinforcements should come
up. 1t was too far to signal The only
possible thing was TO send a mounted
messenger, but the general hesitated-
1t meant almost certain death and
might do no good.
IF anybody volunteered" he be-
gan.
The words were hardly out Of his
mouth when a quiet voice said: May

horse"
A very slight, rather Insignificant
looking little man came forward.
The general looked him up and down.

In her pretty drswing-room at Ex-
minister sat Mrs. Ogilvie and Stella.
The morning papers had just arrived,
and they had rushed to open them.
Every one just then was hungry for
"war news" so there was nothing ex-
traordinary in Stella's almost feverish
anxiety each morning and evening f5r
the --latest intelligence
But on that morning she suddenly
laid down the paper and burst into
tears.
Mrs. Ogilvie crossed the room and
put pair of very motherly arms
around the sobbing girl.
"What is it, child ?' she whispered.
Stella pointed to a name in the list Of
the seriously wounded 1t was that
of Lieut. Lascelles, of the Seventh
Regiment
Mrs Ogilvie's eyes held question
which Stella answered. II love him."
she said, "and have loved him for ages
and now he will never know"
Never knowr' That was not Mrs.
Ogilvie's idea at all-al,d the next pas
senger steamer to "the frontn carried
the two ladies on board, bound for
certain town in South Africs, where q
hero lay wounded, but mercifully not
"unto DEATH
What passed at that first meeting
who can relate? How Stelia went into
the hospital ward, and he, seeing her
coming, could hardly believe the evil
dence Of his own eyes.
But Stella It certainly was, though
Stella be had not yet seen. she cams
up to him and knelt d1wn beside his
bed.
"I have come" she said, simply,
'just to tell you that 1 love you, that
have loved you all along, and that
can't live without you"
The nursing sister is wont to declare
that it was mysterious thing the ra-
p.dity Of Mr.. Lascelles's recovery
d ,ting from that visit. and soon after
he was invalided home on sick leave
During the time he was in England
there came g day when Eagland's
queen distributed to her bravest soldiers
sorue little iron crosses with the words:
''For vaIor' thereon, aud the one whom
she specially singled out to speak words
which no man would care TO forget 50
long a. he lived was no other than little

all around you at the same luncheol
table.
The present over popular model is
simply built affair, the skirt being alb
solutely plain, with some fulness ma
turally and skillfully disposed. Tn
bodice is also plain, with the exception
OF a square hole that is cut twice il
cloth-once just at the base Of the neck
aud again some four inches below
These holes are filed with chiffon o
some contrasting material OF whateve
color best pleases you. Three large eye
let's appear at either side OF the hole an,
are laced with satin ribbon an incl
wide and ending in bow with fallinI
ends that are spiked in metal or jei
The sleeves are slashed and eyelette,
and laced up TO the elbow, showing th
same bit Of color as on the bodice
There is belt of satin that is narrow il
front and three inches wide at the back
where it is laced together in the sam
fashion as the rest of the bodice, onl.
without any color showing.
This gown | have seen innCmerabl
times done in black with white; in whit
and gold; in red panne and white an.
and every combination you can fancy
But the ones done in black cloth will
holes outlined in white embroidered lin,
and filled with white are the smartest
Mrs. collie" Hartman, Mrs. Franci,
Stevens and Mrs. Norman Whitehouse
were all wearing this model the othe
day-but then, so were many others.
Another over-popular model is done il
black cloth and black velvet.
The bolero is formed of aIternat,
stripes of velvet and cloth, the stripes
being 80 arranged there are but two o.
the velvet and the rest of cloth. Tit
collar is a straight, standing band Of
velvet embroidered in gold. The skirt
which was very ugly in the original. il
varied to suit the wearer, and is usually
simply made with or without a wavy
band Of velvet that appears at alb put the
line Of the knee. and from which cir
cular, very much stitched hounce OF
cloth falls.
Mrs. George Widener and Mrs. Reeve
Merritt are two of the women who are
wearing this model, which, by the way,
comes from France.
Now that smart women dress more
and more deliberately, it is natural
perhaps, that their dressing
should be more brilliant at the Show.
A good many people seemed to think
that many OF the women dressed too
brilliantly for such sporty affair,
where so many of the demi. monde rub
shoulders with the women Of the grand
monde. But ''chacun son gout.'
White gowns are much worn at night
at the Show.
Mrs. Lee Taller wore a perfectly fit
ting TOWN of exquisite lace, with no fur
below Of any kind to mar its beauty.
With it she had on large fiat ha. of
pale blue velvet encircled by one blue
ostrich plume.
Mrs. "Clary" Mackay wore a most
elaborate white panne gown covered
With entire deux and founcings Of Irish
crochet lace. Mrs. Mackay's lat was
quite large. with high crown, and was
entirely made of white gardenias and
heir glossy green foliage.
Mrs. Prescott Lawrence wore an ex-

FASHION LETTER.

Not only do they dearly love-like the
proverbia, birds OF a feather-to flock
together. but they also dearly love to
watch other birds OF other feathers
fiuckipg.
There you have the secret Of the con-
tinusd existence Of the big show Of man
and bis beast. and. incidentally, Of wom-
an and her gowns, now on at the Madi-
son Square Garden.
Interest in the horse may wane; in
terest 10 the gowns may wane; but the
interest that people take in people
especially some people in some other
people-will endure forever.
To flock. to be seen flocking, and to
see others Hocking are what appeal to
the crowd. and send it surging in and
out OF the big amphithestre for six days
and six nights.
The trouble with the American public
is that they are only just beginning to
understand the pleasures and amuse-
ments OF fiockiug. Abroad it is an old
story, thoroughly we'll read. which ac-
counts for-but that's yet another
story" and has nothing to do with my
describing the gowns that some OF the
women who are always OF interest. sar-
torially, to other women wear at this
queer foregathering OF the towns fash
ion and riff-rsff..
confess l have gone about it in
rather roundabout fashion, but with
such an "embarras des richesses' it il a
bit difficult to begin at all.
Let me see-yes-Mrs. "Stuyve' Fish
it was who wore one afternoon blue
light French blue-cloth gown. The
coat was simple in outline and braided
all over 10 black braid. 1t was not
bolero-for which relief, thanks!-but
was cut several inches below the waist
line. The skirt was braided about the
bottom in design that was some ten
inches deep.
With this gown Mrs. Fish wore
black hat, with black ostrich feathers,
Where is the hat without ostrich
feathers just now?
Cloth gowns ip color are much worn.
Mrs. Foxhall Keene is wearing brig ht-
est red cloth, with the bolero embroid-
cred all over 10 lighter red. A narrow
band of the embroidery runs all around
the bottom o. the skirt, which is laid in
fiat stitched folds to the knee, where
the fulness is allowed freedom and the
skirt falls gracefully about the feet.
Day gowns are certainly considerably
shorter, 30 far as the train is concerned.
though they keep long in the front and
sides. Evening gowns are deliberately
fitted with the Innings fully two inches
on the floor at the front and sides.
Miss Evelyn Burden has very smart
snuff colored cloth gown. The skirt has
bands Of the same cloth-stitched on it,
and the holera also has stitched bards
Of cloth for its only trimming.
Miss Burden still affects the bow o.
white tulle at her throat.
These tulle bows had tremendous
vogue, as We all remember, short time
ago, but Miss Burden and Mise Anna
Sands are about the only women who
still wear them. Nothing halt SO be-
coming has been devised to replace
them.
Mrs. Burden is wearing vivid blue
velvet gown this season, and it is quite
as smart as the purple velvet gown she
wore last season. Mrs. Burdens velvet
gowns are noted for their beautiful col.
oring al d their severe simplicity.
Many OF the women, OF course, wore

FOOT BALL AT PREBLE.
A Fine Team wan BE Put Ia Field This
Year.

Active preparations are going on at
Fort Preble for the coming football sea-
son and the formation at that place of a
football club The men have just &C
quired a whole new set Of football suits
and other necessary outfits in addition to
last years, and yesterday afternoon as
many as thirty men in regulation suits
could be seen commencing the first day S
practice on the parade ground. The
team played five different clubs last year
and only one was capable Of making a
score against them, which must be con-
sidered a good record in view of the short
time taken for preparations and the fact
that they haa only 65 men to select from
and that mostly green men at the game.
This year they have the full battery
strength of ITO to pick from and, with
the experience gained last year and the
active aid of DR.. Pond Gan old timer also
at footbalI) and Electrician Sergeant Ha-
good, formerly captain OF the South Car
olina college team, they hope to sweep ev :

where he played on last year team, Will

every one knows his business In up ID

He is now ready to accept challenges
