today, and attracted unprecedented throngs
of the fashion-loving women Of Washing
ton. The attendance is declared to have
been by far the largest in the history of the
store. attesting in no uncertain terms the
popularity of the establishment
OF course, the millinery section was the
chief center of interest to the feminine
mind, and was regarded as we'll worthy OF
the store whose leadership in millinery mat
tiers Is proverbial.
The salon was beautifully decorated over
head with large fronds of twas grass in the
natural color, interspersed with ho,lyhock
plants, which furnished the completing
touch of color Graceful palms We're used
as a background for the hats, as well as
being distributed throughout other parts OF
the store. The whole effect was OF
richness and autumn mellowness, and re-
ceived the unstinted admiration of the Wis
itors.
sble to transfer their beauty to the printed
page or to enumerate the immense number
of styles The masterpieces of every for
eign designer of note wed with the Ameri-
can creations for precedence. The assem-
blage of models eCipsed any former ex-
hibt. which is saying much when the brill
liancy of Kings Palaces past openings is
considered.
The extremely large styles came in for
much praise even from women who cons.d-
cred themselves welded to the smaller head
wear. ProdiSa!ity as to trimmings as well
as to size seemed to be the rule. Towering
plumes brilliant metal ornaments and
bright ribbons were frequently combined
in some of the extreme effects However
many Of the creations were modified &c
meet more conserve tive requirements. There
is where the force of expert mill.neTs had
opportunity to show their skill.
The skirt, coat and suit exhibit also at
tracted endless throngs Throughout the
day and was unanimously voted to be 4
collection of stylish garments beyond crti-
c:sni. The rev weaves Of dress goods and
silks received prominent share of patron

iuster-retaining liquid is put upon previous
ly treated cotton fiber by the marvels of
modern chemical science and machinery
much more quickly than the poor p!od-

HEALTH OF THE ARMY
POSTS MENTIONED BY
SURGEON GENERAL o'REILLY.

Gen. ORelly, surgeon general of the
army, in his last annual report makes some
interesting observations regarding the
healthfulness and sanitary condition of
local army posts. In chapter on the sub
Ject of typhoid fever he says there a
decided increase in the number of adms-
sions to hospitals for typhoid fever in 1906
as compared with the previous year. The
decreased rates for such admissions at
fort Myer and Washington barracks, he
says, may have been connected with the
improvement In the character of the water
supply of the city of Washington just as
the increased rate at Fort Leavenworth.
nan, may he explained by the difficulties
with the sewage publication plant.
IN admissions from all causes, excluding
certain venereal diseases and alcoholism.
Fort Des Moines, Iowa, had the lowest
rates. From the point of low non-effective-
ness Fort Meade, s. D., stood first. The
highest admission rate was recorded at Fort
Washington, Md, while troops stationed at
Fort OglethOrpe, Ga. furnished the highest
non-effectiVe rate. Excluding venereal dis
eases and alcoholism. the command at Fort
Thomas, KY, reported the highest non-ef
fective rate The surgeon general says
that the post in the Department of the
East having the highest non-effectve rate
was Fort Washington, due, 1t is alleged, to
malarial diseases.
Condition Of Local Posts.
Regarding the sanitary condition of local
posts, Gen. O'Reilly says:
Fort Myer. Va.-Owing to defective sur
face drainage Of reservation and surround
ing country. which prevents the destruction
of their breeding places mosquitoes are
very numerous.
Washington barracks. D. C.-The old
buildings on the grounds of the War Col
moved and proper drainage secured for the
sites which they occupy.
Fort Washington, Md-Au tai grass,
weeds and underbrush on the reservation
should be cut down. as to remove the
many natural harboring places for mos
auitoes and to expose the earth to the suns
rays 80 that 1t may be thoroughly dried on
sunny days"
Buildings in Poor Repair.
The surgeon general says that all the
buildings of the Army General Hospital at
Washington barracks are In poor repair
and inadequate in every respect for their
purposes. constant repairs being necessary
to the heating and plumbing systems in
order to make the buildings habitable. He
says II will be necessary to keep this hos
p!tal in fair repair and fit for occupancy

pital the 7th street road, now under
