l left and it was soon taken up all along the line, while we on the extreme right | changed direction and ran into several that we fired at on advancing in line 1 of skirmishing for several hundred yards we came to bunch of woods and the | assembly was blown and we assembled and went around them. On gaining the open country again the first and third sections were sent toward as firing line We had been separated from the other three companies and were acting for
 ourselves. l was sent by the captain to
 ascertain from what point the enemys fire was the heaviest, and on gaining the
 road I was greeted with voley that
 made me drop. I soon discovered their
 position from the smoke of their rifles
 and inside of two minutes terrific fire was started by both sides and kept up
 until we captured their entrenchments.
 Our company was the first one In the
 the breastworks, and was the first man leading my section in ahead of the rest. As result of the mornings work
 we killed twenty-three and their wound ed is unkown, while the loss to our side
 was six wounded, two of whom have
 since died. Our company was left to hold
 the place until relieved. While the other three companies returned we spent the morning footing huts and
 burning them. Six cannon with am- intuition were captured and several prisoners.
 It was D. m. before we were re- lieved and then we started for home, but on crossing the river into Jaro we were invited to dinner by D Com pany. We needed no second invitation, for we had had nothing to eat since the night before. After this scrap we were given a rest and nothing happened till December 19 when we went on three day trip for Ladrones, but after chas- ing them several miles back in the mountains, returned. December A we were ordered to Miagao or Guimbal to protect the surrounding towns from La drones (robber bands). We went at them December 28 and killed 15, and not one of our men was scratched. Where We are now is the last the Lord made. The people here have no use for us, and it is almost impossible to buy thing Remember me to the boys in the shop, and to all inquiring friends in the court my thoughts often turn back to the meetings I used to attend.

The designs of embroidery that ap- pear on spring model dresses in cloth are interesting and very handsome. They are in all essential particulars a continuance of the winter treatment of cloth, the chief change being in resort to more delicate shades and tracery. The embroideries that appear on sum mer dresses of filmy texture are quite another matter, of course, and consti- tute a separate field one of bewilder- ing attractions. Another notion that appears on spring cloth gowns has q look of newness, and adds much rich ness. It consists In the use of lace as band trimming in the general manner
