wind, the rustling leaves in the trees
over the chapel tent, the brzzing Of
insects, the occasional song of bird
or the twitter of a distant bugle made
suitable accompaniment to the SOL

led the thoughts of the men for the mo-

of war.
Next Sunday they might be in bat

OF their own affairs-and home.

hours of the week. in which there was
leisure to write to dear ones at home.

camp on Monday. Those of the Union
soldiers were forwarded by the gov
eminent without the prepayment OF
postage If signed by an officer. This
arrangement made it possible for some
of the men to write who otherwise
could not have done so for want of a
postage stamp.
All Sunday afternoon the men might
be seen in their quarters penning their
missives to wife, mother or sweetheart

= In the annals of the war there are
few more touching compositions than
letters written by soldiers on the eve
OF battle
One of the most picturesque religious
services of the period in which the two
armies in Virginia were awaiting or
ders to march was that of baptizing a
big gun In Fort Corcoran on Arlington
Heights, opposite washington.
This fort had been built by the 6sth
regiment, New York militia, an Irish reg
iment composed of stalwart and ANirited
young men who were spelling for a
fight" When the army crossed the Po-
tomac on the night of May "a, the 69th
was ordered to entrench at Arlingtone
1t did it's work so well that inside of
"a hours a heavy fort was well ad-
named for the colonel Of the regiment,
Michael Corcoran.

HELPS FOR A HOUSEKEEPER.


To clean an oilcloth take milk and
water. Never use s%oapsuds, as this
dulls the colors. Rub over with a mix
ture of one-half beeswax, melted. and
while warm stirred into a saucer of
turpentine. Apply with a dry flannel
cloth and polish with a dry flannel. Or
wash as above and oil with sweet oil or
butter. Polish.
Ebonized wood may be cleaned or
restored by mixing equal parts of pow
dered pumice stone and linseed oil.
The rubbing should be done the way
of the grain and afterward the wood
must be polished with a dry soft cloth.
Lacquered brass that has been great
ly neglected should be dipped in luke
warm water and then rubbed with salt
and vinegar, polishing afterwards with
a dry leather.

Marriage License in New York.

Dear Margery Doom:

a man must be to get a. marriage

Is improper to get married without
giving the young lady an engagement
ring and what clothes should be worn
at q marriage In the afternoon

In New York State the man must be

lutely necessary for the young man to
give the young woman an engagement
ring before their marriage. but 1t Is
customary, for him to give her a token
of some kind. 1t may be a bracelet, a
locket and chain or, in fact, anything
he chooses, but 1t Is generally @ ring.
The young woman should wear a cloth
travelling gown of any shade she
chooses. and the bridegroom should
wear a sack suit of a plain color II
a white tie. The bride may carry a
bouquet of flowers or q prayer book.

There was one vacant chair in the
dining-salon. M. Ferraud was indls-
posed. He could climb the highest
peak, he could cross ice-ridges, with a
sheer mile on either side of him, with
never an attack Of vertigo; but this
heaving mystery under his feet always
got the better of him the first day out.
He considered 1t the one flaw in an
otherwise perfect system. Thus, he
missed the comedy and the tragedy of
the eyes at dinner, nor saw a woman
throw her all and lose 1t.

happen before that time.
Two or three of the crew were lash

and flap of 1t Jared on Breitmann's
nerves. For a week or more his nerves
had been very close to the surface, so
close that IL required all his Will to

But Alphonse had made no mistake.

Guile. which stirred his lips as he bowed

stolid vacuity.
His name was not Afphonse; 1t was
a captious offering by the crew, which,
on this yacht, never went further than
to tolerate the addition of a foreigner
to their mess. He had signed a day
or two before sailing, he had even
begged for the honor to ship with Cap
ain Flanagan; and he gave his name
as Pierre Picard. to which he had no
moro right than to Alphonse. AS Cap
ain Flanagan was too good a sailor
himself to draw distinctions, he was al
ways glad to add a foreign tongue to
his crew. You never could tell when
It's use might come in handy. That
is why Pierre Picard was allowed to
drink his soup in the forecastle mess.
Breitmann continued on, oblivious to
all things save his c~ogitations. He
swung round the bridge. He believed
thai he and Cathewe could henceforth
proceed on parallel lines, and there
was much to be grateful for. Cathewe
was quiet but. deep; and he, Breitmann,
had knocked about among that sort
and knew that they were to be re-
spected. In all, he had made only one
serious blunder. He should never have
permitted the vision of a face to deter
him. He should have taken the things
from the safe and vanished. 1t had not
been a matter of conjunction. And
yet All, he was human what
aver his dream might be, and he loved

and mind. It was not lawless love, but

II was ruthless. When the time was
ripe he would speak. Only a little
while now to wait. The course had
smoothed out, the sailing was easy.
The man in the chimney no longer
bothered him. Whoever n whatever
he was, he had not shot his bolt soon
enough.
Hildegarde Won Mitter, He stopped
against the rail. The yacht was bury
Ing her nose now. and the white drift
from her cut-water seemed strangely
luminous as 1t swirled %obllquely away
In the fading twilight. H~ildegarde
Won Mitter. Was she to be the flaw
in the chain? No. no; there should
be no regret: he had steeled his
heart against any such weakness,
She had beer necessary, and he
bit of s~entlmentality. Her appearance
had d~isorganized his nerves, h a vas
all. Peering into his watch he found
that he had only half an o before
dinner. And II may be added that he
dressed with singular care.
So did Fitzgerald, for that matter.
1t took Cathewe just as long, but
he did not make two or three selec-
tons Of this or that before finding
what he wanted. He was engrossed
most of the time in the sober contem-
plation of the rubber flooring or the
running sea outside the port-hole.
And this night Hildegarde o Mitter
was meditating on the last throw for
her hopes. She determined to cast
once more the full sur of her beauty
into the face of the man she loved;
and If she failed to win, the fault
would not be hers. Why could she not
tear out this maddening heart of hers
and fling 1t to the sea? Why could
She not turn 1t toward the mar who
loved her? Why, why? Why should God
make her so unhappy? Why such in
Justice? Why this twisted interlacing
of lives? And yet, amid all these futile
seekings, with sub-conscious dizziness
her hands went on with their appointed
work. Never again would the splendor
of her beauty burn as it did this night,
Laura, alone among them ,all, went
serenely about her toilet. She was
young and love had not yet spread
its puzzle before her feet.
As for the others, they were IN the
far side of the hill, whence h paths
are smooth and gentle and the pros
pect is pe~acefulness I'D the retrospect
is dimly rosal. They dressed as they
had done those twenty odd years,
plainly.
On the bridge the first officer was
standing at the captains side.

Fine hair-line striped serge is q
favorite material for young girls
dresses. This one is rich blue In color
and is trimmed with bands Of black
velvet ribbon. while the little chemisette
and under-sleeves are Of ivory net,
one with the sleeves, but made with
a centre-front portion that allows ef-
fective use of the stripes. 1t is closed
at the left side. In his case 1t Is made
over a lining which includes the NOUS
quetaire under-sleeves, but II can be
made without lining and without the
under-sleeves, If preferred. The skirt
is Just a simple fve-gored one with
box plat at the back. The front gore
is cut on the cross and the trim
ming is arranged over 1t, combining
with the waist to give the line that
suggests the princess idea. The same
model will be found a good one for all
~seasonable materials, and Il may not
be too early to him that 1t would be
equally charming made from linens and
Tie like. Inc IdHcy collar tnaL ID III
ranged over the front edges of the
frock and which gives a sailor effect
at the back, can be made Of silk, satin
or other contrasting material to make
quite a different effect from the one
Illustrated. In this case 1t matches the
frock. but the trimming very nearly
conceals the foundation fabric.
For the 16-year size the waist will
require "a yards of material q inches
wide or 1$ yards 36 or A inches wide,
with 2 yards of all-over lace IS Inches
wide. For the skirt will be needed An
yards 81. ga yards SO or 2s yards A

women as well as to young girls.
