The weekend reviews on the

show the new life of the new year
More than 10000 passed in the Sunday
morning parade" and the very latest
word in modes and millinery was
spoken to the world of fashion.
The weather conditions have been
ideal early in the week. with a clear
sky and bright sun overhead. The pre-
vailing shade of the week-each week
down here by the waves seems to have
favorite color of its own-has been
green-green of many hues Some
weeks the color tone will be pink. an
other red, still another blue: last week
everything ina ginable in green pre-
dominated.
Furs, There were more furs on the
Boardwalk last Sunday and over the
week end than the Hudson Bay Com
pany owns. Furs of every animal
known to science were represented
and of some animals unknown.
The leopard fur coats were, as usual,
the striking ones. If milady wants to
make hit" anywhere. not only on
the Boardwalk. but anywhere, the open
sesame is the leopard skin coat. She
will invariably become. at least while
her back is turned, the cynosure of
in behind the leopard, giving place in
the crowds attention to its rich color
ing and gaudy spots.
The scent of the springtimc is in the
sea air and the inland world is begin

notice that Atlantir City still is.

Under Fire.
From London It'd Bits.


1t is strange fact that every SOL
der when questioned as to his sensa-
lions when he first went under fire re-
plies that he was far less frightened
than he anticipated. Recruits get used
to the bullets whistling around them
in a very short time, and their fears
abate with every battle. The most
trying moment for the newcomer is
when he has to stand motionless in the
front rank, exposed to fire without be-
ing able to reply. 1t is inaction which
gets on q soldiers nerves and that is
why the order to fix bayonets for the
charge is always obeyed with delight.
The behavior of the commander has a
great effect on the men he controls 1t
is characteristic of the British soldier
to keep his eyes on his leader in peril
GUS moments, and to be inspired or
discouraged by his demeanor. A SOL
dier was recently asked what sentiment
animated him when the bullets were
f1ying-was it love of country, re-
ligion or the oath of fidelity to the
king? 81 went ahead" he replied. be
cause my lieutenant led the way" The
first few minutes under fire generally
make soldier feel as though he would
like to be out of it, but very quickly
he loses his first feeling of fright and
has a violent reaction which takes the
form of a fever for Il hand to- hand
conflict.
