act of July %, 1861, and mot under
the legalized orders Of the War De-
partment relating to payment of $500

the remaining 500. He claimed this
for Compensation for Information
given Major General George b. Nc
Clellan on September g. 1862, of the
enemys plans that ended that battle
of Antietam; for information given
Brigadier- General o. b. Wilcox, on

ter at Antietam, and for the informa-
tion given Union officials on November

Hundredth Pennsylvania Infantry,
performed duty-as scout or spy at any
time i'm 1862 or 1868 OF to show that
he ever filed claim for such service

Don't slight the little fashions, for
II Is these little touches, you know,
that often give the smart note OF style
to an otherwise characterless gown.
Sometimes II is just q rosette OF black
tulle with a cabochon center put In
just the right place on the gown that
gives a dash to the whole effect. Then,
again, an unbecoming light waist may
have its effect entirely transformed by
a skeleton collar Of black velvet stiff
fened hands. the ribbon velvet tying
IN the back in a bow, with tassel ends.
Long chains. very long ones. are the
height OF fashion again, and many are
the attractive little novelties that dan
gle from them, such as powder pun
cases. bonbon boxes, tiny gold and
silver mesh purses and little monocles
with gold and jeweled handles. The
chains are worn in an entirely new
way this season. Instead of dangling
free. they are caught up either at the
corsage or at the waistline, and are
held i'm place by a small pin. Gold
chains set with amethysts and with to-
paz are extremely fashionable. and al
so pierced sterling silver links without
any setting.
Tho high collar is to be fashionable
again. With the tailored costume, turn
over embroidered linen collars will be
worn. and also standing collars made
OF real lace. In neckwear the jabot
Is to be just as much the fashion as
ever. Among the favored novelties is
what is known as the slde-band jabot
made of batiste and lace. This neck
wear novelty has the jabot frill only at
the left side. caught to the center
band Of lace. The divided jabot is also
much the mode. 1t is divided in the
middle and then strapped with bands
of narrow velvet ribbon.
As a finishing touch to a dinner or
evening gown there is nothing so satis-
factory as a scarf. In Paris hardly
an evening gown is ever turned out
from one of the big couturieres that a
scarf Is not made to match it. Some
are straight, long, filmy pieces of

newest color combinations for these
scarfs are brown over Natter blue,

with the very new delicate shade OF
mustard, which is almost as light as
