subject Of duty. The commandments
lessons on the subject, especially as
applied to what it was ones duty to
DO to others who happened TO make
disciplinary slips, had made a deep
impression on Billy Lang's mind.
It was in Billy's "yeavling'' camp
that he met Frances Curtis. She was
mighty pretty girl, who lived in New
York city and who had spent a month
at the Point with her mother. Billy
had called 81 her in New York when
ne went on his furIough as a second
class man. and now that he was in
drst-olass camp. here was Miss Curtis
back again with her mother at the old
hotel on the brow Of the biuR over
locking the siege battery.

Dad. He was just under the age

black moires with q center in each
width resembling passementerie
scrolls, white MORE brocaded with
tea roses and foliage. and French
silks in vivid colorings, whose de-
signs are toned By a hlm-Iike over
weaving which gives them a pretty
chine effect.
The tendency towards the use Of
gimp, galloon and passementerie ape
plique effects in various widths is be-
coming more and nor prevalent
These trimmings range from a quar-
ter of IN inch to eight OF ten inches
in width, and some Of the wider de-
signs for panel ends or skirt borders
are in mural or Vandyke patterns.
Other and lighter weayes show Mar
quise or Escurial devices in silk em-

raised cord showing on each design.

rial on which they are applied throw

These last mentioned garnitures cost
from 70 cents to $3.50 a yard.
Silk embroidered vests, and larger
Louis XIV. -waistcoats r introduced
in the satin, velvet. cloth and other
handsome wraps and costumes of the
fall and winter. Brocade in Persian,
Pompadour and other effects is, how
ever, quite as effective and much less
expensive for the purpose, and rem
nants of the richest brocade, with
good color combinations, can be pur-
chased for these vests at any of the
importing houses Of the city. Few
things wear better or give greater
satisfaction than a really handsome
brocade, as gowns and other gar

in days long past and with fiber and
pattern stiH unimpaired, can prove.
Brocades are of gsoa width, and a.

reproductions in paler tints Of these
