chamber yesterday afternoon. at which

Several suggestions as a means for

iutant General I. Pusey Wickersham.
One suggestion was to raise $500 to
be used TO give the soldicss a moon

gested the raising of $4,000 TO be
handled by an appointed trustee, and
drawn upon by tho soldiers for a.
letic and other entertainments, such
drawings to be approved by the Off
GERS of the regiment. The authority

sionally brigaded with the Second and

blue chiffon. The edges Of this skirt
are beaded and fringed with periwinkle
crystals, in the fashion with which
Americans are peculiarly familiar. The
bodice is slimly built. of black satin
opening over panel front OF the blue
chiffon and crystals. and the long,
straight sleeves which are not full. but
hang far away from the arm like a
panel and are negligently caught into
the wrist by tiny bracelet of crystal
and chiffon, are made of the blue
weighted with great tassels and fringes
Of periwinkle crystals.
Both Premet and Worth have adopted
a smashing touch of color on a dark
gown, in the way of a broad sash.
Premet ties hers in a big bow at the left
side of the back. giving something OF
the effect of a one-sided hustle, and
Worth takes a width of gorgeous ma
terial and makes a low-waisted girdle
Of 1t on a black or gray gown.
Smoke-gray afternoon and evening
frocks have flaming red, deep blue and
emerald green sashes, slightly below
the normal waist line. made Of chiffon
or tulle heavily fringed and tasseled at

Entire evening bodices that extend
high at the back and are cut square in
front are made of tulle covered with
colored crystals. In these bodices are
the wide, Chinese sleeves that reach to
the wrist and are held in by tiny cuff
which does not conflne the entire width
Of the sleeve. You know that trick: 1t
has been in fashion for several months
and is evidently not to be relinquished
