One morning Secretary Evarts was
very anxious to reach an Office in one
of the upper apartments at the capitol
in Washington. He had hard work to
get into the elevator, for on that par
ticular morning it happened to be
crowded with applicants for every
thing, in the foreign office from the
Court of ST. James to a consulship in
q South American republic. AS the
vator started Mr.. Evarts remarked,
one Of hiseurious. sedate smiles:

ENGLISH ARMY'S FIGHTING KIT.

Neither Red Nor Khaki, but Drab
Jackets and Tartan Trousers.
The war Office has at last decided
the new military uniforms in details
and the transformation Of the soldier
Is expected to commence about the
middle Of the year.
The ceremonial dress will be the full
dress at present used and will be worn
with cap for walking out, while the
service dress-the fighting kit-will be
an entirely new one, OF special mate
rial, replete with the latest improve
ments and designed alike for rough
wear and comfort.
The service dress is, in fact, de-
signed with view to furnishing a
comfortable uniform, light enough to
be worn on service abroad and in
warm weather at home and also with
the addition of warm Undertaking
for wear in winter. 1t consists chiefly
of a rainproof, drab-mixture cloth. The
great coat is to be light and supple,
with a small cape attached. capable Of
being easily put on or taken off and
easily folded.
The jacket is of very light drab mix
ture serge Of Norfolk pattern. 1t will
have a turned-down roll collar. shout
der rife patches, two breast pockets
with plaits and two strong side pock-
cts with flaps, plated at the waist and
with a false plat dowa the center of
the back. 1t is intended to be ksyse

Every man, says the London Mail,
will wear on a particular polored
ground the title of his unit.

making a sudden decision, she began
to speak:
''Kind friends, it was my intention
to leave you as usual, to retire to pri-
vate life and let the identity of the
dancer who pleased you for a time
remain a mystery. But you are al
ways so kind, tonight even more than
ever before, SO you shall know the
TRUTH" and with dexterous motion
she removed both mask and wig, re-
vealing not the dashing creature one
supposed her to be, but little, old
lady. with the flaring footlights shin
ing on her silvered hair. With
gesture full of pathetic pleading she
went on:
81 have done wrong in deceiving
you. / have won your displeasure!
Oh, do not hiss me; anything but that!
Let me steal away in silence.
Yet, 1 am not so much to blame, we
were so poor-Barbara was blind-it
was all l could dol"
A sob choked her incoherent little
confession, while tears trickled I'M
needed down her cheeks. For an in
slant there was a heavy, oppressive
silence. Then. when Mademoiselle
Elise, with bowed head and great
black eyes all blinded by tears, turned
to leave the stage, the spell was broken
and such a hubbub as there was!
Cheer after cheer rang out; men of
the world sprang to their feet, cry
ing, "Elise!" "Elise!" their hearts
filed with admiration for the brave
little woman, their eyes blinded by
something other than the lights. Many
who regarded an exhibition of ones
feelings in public as a heinous crime
shifted openly. Away of. back in the
pit, someone cried:
God bless the little dancer" and
the theater rang again with the words,
while the orchestra, not knowing what
else to do. burst into pIaying-"God
Save the Queen"
When quiet was at length restored
Mademoiselle Elise had disappeared.
For a time she was eagerly sought,
everything possible being done to dis
cover what had become of her. But
u last the search was abandoned, the
lpubIic's tickle fancy having been
caught by a young concert-hall singer.
And now only the memory of Mademoi-
selle Elise, who held all London in
her sway, remains.
