by good looking people with fair com

braidings in black and silver on gray
cloth are ladylike, smart and useful

for them, that thoy shoud he so
ignorant of the law ON the subject of
appointments to West Point. The law
places them absolutely in the power
uf the president. 1t Is merely mat
ter of presidential courtesy that any
senator or representative has eyer
been invited to nominate candidates
for the military academy, The Ian

dismissed" Such utter ignorance on
their part may not be so greatly 10 be
wondered at. The long extension Of

gressmens nominations may really
have led the cadets to fondly imagine
that congress could oycrule the War
