CHAPTER VIII.
Social circles at West Point at long,
rare intervals are shocked by scandal,
and at short ones, say every other sum-
mer- are stirred by some kind of a
sensation, and the Fairy Sisters" were
the sensation of the year '97. They
came in July; they went in September,
and meanwhile they were ION the co.
as they expressed it, from morn till
late at night. Physically they were
the lightcst weights known to the hop
room. Mentally, as their admirers in
t,i = hn, a.
can take fall out of any woman at the
Point and this was especially true of
the elder-Mrs. Frank Garrison
whose husband was on staff duty in
the far west. Both were slight, fragile,
tiny blondes with light blue eyes, with
lighter, fluffy hair, with exquisite lii
tie hands and feet, with oval, prettily
shaped faces, and the younger, the
maiden sister, had Il bewtching mouth
and regular, snowy dots of teeth of
which she was justly proud. Yet, as
has been previously said of Mrs Frank,
while the general effect was in the case
of each that of an extremely pretty
young girl, the elder had no really good
features, the younger only that one.

less y and we'll, and had stunning hats
and habits, but few opportunities for
display thereof. They came trimming
down the path from the hotel every
morning, fresh and fair as daisies, in
time for guard mounting, and at any
hour after that could be found chat
ting with cadet friends at the visitors
tent, strolling arm in arm about the
shaded walks with some of their many
admirers until time to dress for the
evening hop, where they never missed
a dance, and on rainy days, or on those
evenings, when there was neither hon
nor band practice, they could be found,
each in some dimly lighted, secluded
nook about the north or west piazza
or on the steps leading down to the
Chain Battery Walk sometimes sur
rounded by a squad of cadet friends,
but more frequently in murmured
tete-a-tete with only one cavalier. In
the case of Mrs. Frank no member of
the corps seemed especially favored.
She was just the same to every one.
In the case of her younger sister-Miss
Terriss-there presently developed a
dashing young cadet captain who SO
