Comrade James then tells of n new
college that was erected at Eustis-the
Presbyterian College of Florida-and of
steps that were taken by Eustis Post,
G. A. r.. to supply it with flag of the

the Confederate Camp at its meeting

of many a girl. The style is one uni

This has a box pleat in the center of
the top and small tucks at the wrist

is excellent for house or street wear.
The deep round yoke gives opportunity
for various modes of trimming. Lace
motifs or fnely-tucked chiffon may be
joined by bits of velvet ribbon or n
plain yoke may be adorned with insets
of lace. The waist closes in back, and
may be finished with an attached girdle
to match the yoke or the material OF
the gown. Brown cashmere or Rajah
would be very chic in this gown with
trimmings of a self color or another.
The sleeve is finished with tiny box
pleats instead of a cuff. In the medium
size this gown requires 10 yards of &c.

Two patterns: No. 2039-sizes, 80 to
