effected on the 9TH. Then the whole
force was to move on.
Gen. Kilpatrick's cavalry, which had
made a dramatic crossing OF the river
in the night of February %, while a ter
rible storm was in progress, continued to
make demonstrations north toward Char
lotte and was in frequent combat with
the Confederate cavalry under Gen. Wade
Hampton.
On February "a. Gen. John NJ. Corse's
division of the fifteenth Corps made a
diversion south and drove a party of
Confederates out of the city of Camden,
on the Wateree River, as the lower Ca
tawba is called. One thousand bales of
cotton, the depot and other railroad
buildings. n large store of our and
meal. several hogsheads of sugar and
rice. and several grist mills were de-
stroyed. Completing the destruction the
command rejoined the main force and
proceeded on the march toward Cheraw.

Gen Joseph Z. Johnston was now in
command against Sherman. having been
appointed on February % by Gen. Lee.
This appointment, which not only re-
stored Johnston to his old command of
the Army of Tennessee. from which he
had been removed by President Davis in
the Atlanta campaign. but also gave him
practical control OF all Confederate troops
outside OF Lees own army, coming as
one of Lees first acts as General-in-
chief OF all the Confederate armies. was
at once a complete vindication of John
ston and a blow to the prestige OF Mr..
Davis, who had. since the beginning OF
the war, Disseminated against Johnston.
The new commander at once stepped
into the harness and endeavored to take
steps to effectively check Sherman's
march. But the future prospect was not
bright. Telegraphing to Gen. Lee from
Charlotte. n. c.. on February Is. John
ston pointed out the difficulties in his
way.
To face Sherman's 5000 men he had
only a materially inferior and widely

Federals entered the town without oppo'

The fall of Wilmington and the re-
tirement of the Confederates inland
cleared the way toward the re-establish-
ment of rail communication between the
coast and Goldsboro. toward which Gen.
Shermans army was heading in its
march fom Savannah though the Caro-
linas.

QUAKER NOudr ana q transparent w dISN
with Jabot, Frill.
Already the jabot frill, which orig
mated in Paris, is finding favor here
One of the blouses above, made OF
white Swiss in true French fashion,
shows this feature. 1t also has the
famous two-in one collar, which can
be worn high or turned low, and
the raglan sleeve, which has come
to be regarded as a staple. 1t is
rumored from the other side that
drop-shoulders are the next step in
blouses; in view, however, of the
popularity of the regulation sleeve,
it will take considerable time to
bring about the change. Certainly
the comfort of the high shoulder in
wash waists will not be relinquished
readily, even if the dropshoulder
style is easier to make.
At the present time, the set-in
sleeve dominates the fashion, so far
as tailored blouses are concerned,
except for now and then raglan.
The treatment of the neck marks
the real difference in styles. Stocks
and high collars were, in the early
season, the ultra mode, but these
have given way gradually to the
broad Quaker collars, especially for
the younger women. These collars
come detached, to wear with any
blouse or dress, in sets with cuffs to
match. The shops show them in
organdy and Swiss, picot-edged,
hemstitched, or with an inch wide
strip of colored organdy or figured
cretonne around the edge. Whole
collars of cretonne are offered, too;
they are extremely attractive on
the blue and pink linen blouses.
The style of the waist must be plain

which has been shown from one
end of the town to the other-not
always in the same material, but
nevertheless always having the
same general appearance, for all OF
these waists are cut absolutely plain.
Sometimes the material is linen,
again mule, and even crepe; but the
stripes are ever the broad green,
blue, pink or black, and the collar
and cuffs always the same Quaker
style of sheer transparent organdy.

BLOUSES ARE In AGAIN
With the Coming of the Sum
mer Suit, Separate Waists
Find Favor, Paris Fosters
Transparent Effects.
New York, June %. 1915

New York, June %, 1915
In this day of revivals, it is not
surprising that blouses again find
favor Summer suits foster their
popularity Indeed, the separate
waist and skirt may be as smart as
the one-piece frock, provided there
is silk coat to top the costume.
Paris takes special delight in turn
ing out new surprises in sheer waists.
There is no name in blousedom that
quite covers these transparent con-
fections of the famous couturiers.
Lingerie is too frilly, and tailored is
entirely out of the question, for who
would ever call a pintucked Swiss
or organdy by so harsh a name?
They are original in contour. Strange
as it may seem. coming from Paris,
the source of true color, they are
white, pure white; crispness, the
chief charm of the garment, bespeak-
ing loudly the midsummer they are
made for.
The mystic charm of the French
white wear is woven in every stitch
of these waists; style is secondary
thought. They are Frenchy, white,
and made for warm weather; further
scrutiny seems a sacrilege. Since
they come from the great fashion
center, their long sleeves, and short
sleeves, graceful V-neck, soft frills
and delicate inserts of EN- broidery
will be copied, modified and twisted
about, again and again, in the blouses
that are made on this side of the
