 At that battle thirty-four volunteers were killed, IT wounded and forty-fve missing.
 The claims for pensions of the volunteers number 3,55S. There were twenty1three regiments of regulars and three regular batteries engaged in this fight, as against nine regiments of volunteers
 One regiment lost none killed, wounded or missing, but has 419 claims for pensions pending. li...,-illA

Mrs. Sinniqe Sings Before
 A Virginia Audience

The following is clipped from a Norfolk, Va, paper:
 Last night was a field night at the Mon tcello, and the beautiful rotunda echoed such music as has rarely been listened to in Norfolk, while a large audience, composed in part of the leaders in fashion and musi- cal circles, enjoyed to the full the fascinat- ing treat.
 It is fact testified to by the best mu- sicians in Norfolk that no finer acoustic properties exist in any hall in Norfolk than in the Monticello rotunda, and this was also well demonstrated, the finest pianissino passages being equally distinct to the grandest fortissimo and the artistic skill of
 The soloiste was Mrs. H. H. Sinnige, of Birmingham Ala, who, with her sister, Mrs. L. Klein, of Galveston, Tex, are visit ing for the first time in number of years their brother, MT. J. P. Morris, and stop ping at the Monticello.
 Mrs. Snnige sang Saturday night with accompaniment of Krueger's elegant or chestra, and so thoroughly charmed her hearers that, by common consent, she was importuned for a repetition of the concert
 To this she kindly responded, being a charming and gracious southern lady, and superbly supported by the accompaniment of Professor Anton Koerner on the elegant Stieff grand piano, gave a concert that has rarely been equalled and hardly, if ever, excelled, even by professional, in this city.
 Mrs. Snnige, who is graduate of num- Der of conservatories and medalist in all of them, rendered with magnificent effect a scene from "Der Freischutz," by Weber, and the Jewel Song from Faust To encores long, continuous and insistent she responded with ballad after ballad, and closed with "The Star Spangled Banner and Dixie"
 After the last song there was cham- ing impromptu reception, and Mrs. Sinnige was congratulated on every side while she, in turn. praised Professor Koerner and re- marked: q never sang in an easier hall and never had a finer accompanist, and doubt if any city has finer one. Norfolk should be proud of him. He is an artist"
 Mrs. Sinnige and her sister will remain here several days and Norfolk may have another chance ito hear her again.

 Mr. Builder Took Place Last Niqht

The marriage of Miss Maude Alice We'll CT, daughter of Mrs. Mattie Mckee Weller, to Mir.

Moore. for merly of Louisville. but now pastor of the First Methodist church in Eufaula.
 The bride entered the drawing room with her mother. MT. Builders best man was his brother, MT. Charles Builder, of To- ronto.
 The bridal gown was distinctly smart. It was of white brocaded satin, with acccr- 6ion plaftings of white chiffon. The high bodice fitted the figure perfectly. Miss Weller wore veil, and carried a superb eouquet of white carnations. Mrs. Wellc- wore black peau de soie, with real lace. A supper was served in. the pink dining room to brilliant party of guests. An orchestra
 gave a charming programme.
 MT and Mrs. Builder left last night in a private car for the south. Their wedding journey will be concluded at Chicago. Among the out of town guests at the
 wedding were: MT. Charles Builder, of ioVOHto' Mrs. WaliidHh J. Aiheh, VI Nhii- cago; Mrs. Wood of Nashville; Mrs. George NeJhery, of Waco, Tex; Mrs. Weller, Miss Rosa Lela Weller, MT. William J.

streaked or cloudy where a coarser or darker weave interrupts the crystal white ness of the better material. But this does not injure the ornamental qualities of the thin goods which in its five years of ruler ship has had no rival. The slight delicate edge to be found upon the more expensive chiffon ruffling can be placed upon the cheaper grades by running the ruffles through tine sewing machine threaded with the coarsest colored silk the needle will carry: and a coarse needle will carry al- most a cord.
 Black silk Is becoming so fashionable Nay, the word is badly chosen-has become fashionable would be better. In the days when black silks were worn, my friend, Mrs. William Astor, the leader of New York society, then, as now, told Mrs. Ward McAlister who was then the power behind the throne" that she numbered her black silks. Black silk No. l." was the oldest of the series. then came ''Black silk No. g." followed by Black silk No. B." and she sometimes got as high as "No. g." The desses were all made from one piece of silk, or from one grade. But they differed from each other in newness and in make and fashion and pattern and trimming But owing to the adaptability of the material.

The skirt had box pilit in the back and was quite plain. The bodice was a basque. pointed in front and edged with the narrow row of black fur. It was quite old fashion, ed, this basque or would have been but for the very elaborate yoke of paillettes of cut steel Underneath the palllettes was hand somo lace upon which the steel shone like frozen rain drops in the snow. Very glisten- ing are these gowns with their little bril- liart pieces suggesting armor and a coat of mail.
 The hostess herself wore a foulard. Not an expensive fabric for a lady who boasts a bloth-of-gold at $50 per yard. Yet the foulards hold thea- own very we'll They are adapted to all stations being always genteel and lady-like, sometimes even dressy. Mrs. Elements gown was deep shade of blue with princess tunic falling over a skirt, on the foot of which were deep flounces of the foulard.
 The bodice was trimmed with a lace ar engagement which in modern parlance is called a Marie Antoinetse fichu. It was fully five yards long; and when off, must have been an awkward thing to handle. Made of the lightest, finest chiffon in shade of pearl white, 1t was edged with a chiffon ruchIng of white, tipped with pink and black velvet put on in the tinlest rows.

expected departure for London last week. Mrs. Belmont had invited large com pany to a New Years reception on Sunday evening" Suddenly without the slightest warming, she recalled all invitations, and, instead, gave a very quiet tea; next day she sailed for London. At the tea 1t was whispered tht she went to cheer her daughter, the duchess, whose husband, tine Duke of Marlborough, had suddenly volunteered for the Transvaal.
 Be that as it may: and be the gloom deep as 1t was: 1t did not prevent the guests-and the hostess for that matter from wearing some very pretty clothes.

The 5 o'clock tea!

The o'clock tea!
 I think as I write on seeing those words in English in a French newspaper It was a rainy. sleety day in Paris, in January that worst and darkest of all Paris months The daily papers, brought me by frowsy haired man, conveyed no cheer and little intelligence. Languidly I picked them up and glanced over the columns, too gloomy to translate When, suddenly from out the page, like ray of sun on a cloudy day, appeared the words in italics, in plain every day English, Five o'clock tea" picked up the page and kissed the words, then I laughed aloud with delight. It was like meeting a dear friend in a strange land.
 The French people have picked up as many of our words as we have picked up of theirs. You would be surprised to know how they quote us and our language. And our dress aud our GUS toms. too. we'll re- member reading in a Paris paper, in French, last September: 'The first New York fashions for December will appear in these columns, as soon as they are pub lished in New York" Truly we are pro- crossing when the Paris papers quote us
 The o'clock tea is not the crude thing it was. Though for that matter it has not been crude for long time. But 1t has made such progress the last year that you now recognize it as a social function not a lhaphazard one. To quote an American girl living in Paris-Paris again-"we have our set of friends: and though we cannot en- certain elaborately or lavishy, we give a o'clock tea three days week."
 Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont who is one of the finest ladies in society, if you count the ability and the means to do things in the right way, gave a very pretty o'clock tea just before she took her sudden and un-
