It was decided to provide each
camp with five tents, floor them,
furnish benches, cots. ETC., and
necessary toilet conveniences.
The BrOussard tent being with
out shade, flies for tents were

Hard at Work.

AS will be seen by the pro-
ceedings of the Council and the
town and parish Boards OF
Health published in this issue,
they are actively taking meas
ures to guard against the inva-
sion of yellow fever. 1t has
taken several days to get the
quarantine in shape, but it is in
good working order now and
improving.
There are some measures ln'
complete yet, but the Boards
are hard at work and every
thing will be done just as
promptly and rapidly as posi-
BILE. and we may rely on their
doing all that can be done.
Meantime we should all assist
in taking precautionary meas
ures by either screening or
oiling our cisterns, putting oil
on all stagnant or standing water
about our premises and cleaning
| ND thoroughly.

Woman,s Gowns.

A gathering of women, for whatever
cause, seems always to be a social
function, and What did she wear?'
is as interesting to those who were
not present as what was talked about.
Not long ago a writer of short stories
gave a reading before a woman's asso-
citation in New York, for the benefit
of a girls school. In the newspaper
account of the event it is recorded that
Miss Blank wore a green skirt, white
blouse, a green necklace festooned over
the front, and a black hat with a
wreath of small green wings around
the brim." The woman who presided
wore an elegant gown OF black velvet,
with a long train and trimmed with
appliques of black lace, the vest com
bining white lace with jet and steel
embroideries." Is not this interesting?
And how coolly refreshing that sym
phony of green and white and black,
lightened up with the glitter of steel
and of jet, must have been in the hot
hotel parlor where the women were
