which we might have guessed what lay

Don Quixote. "Well, have said It

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

July 5, 1863.-Crowds gathered
around the bulletins posted by The
Evening Star today Sunday giving the
latest news from the scene Of the Union
victory In the great battle near Gettys-
burg, Pa. which, seems to have ended
night before last. While many details
are still lacking, it Is now confirmed
that Gen. Lee, with the entire Confeder-
ate Army Of Northern Virginia, is in re-
treat toward the Potomac River.
Dispatches received here today say
that the Confederate skirmishers were
drawn in last night and a small force
of their cavalry, probably the rear
guard, passed through Emmitsburg this
morning about daylight.
The Union troops spent all of today
on the field burying the dead, relieving
the wounded and collecting arms, many
thousands OF which belong to the Con-
federates.
The Confederate pontoon bridge at
Dam No. 4 has been destroyed by Union
Cavalry and, according to the latest
advices received here, this Union force
has gone toward Williamsport in the
hope Of destroying the two bridges
there.
President Lincoln and other officials
of the Government hope that Gen.
Meade will be able to intercept Lees
passage of the Potomac. Unofiicial re-
ports indicate that the Union Army
may already be in motion in that direc-
ton. So much time has elapsed, how
ever. since Lee began to withdraw, fol-
lowing the terrific fighting day before
yesterday, that some military authori-
ties here believe his advance may have
reached WilliamSport on the river al
ready and that the Union Army may
be too late to prevent his safe retreat
The latest official dispatch received
here by Gen. Halleck, general in chief,
was sent by Gen. Meade at o'clock
this morning. 1t is as follows:
"The enemy retired under cover Of
the night and q heavy rain in direction
of Fairfield and Cashtown. My Cavalry
are in pursuit. I cannot give you the
details Of our captures in prisoners, COL
ors and arms. Upward of 20 battle
flags will be turned in from one corps
My wounded and those Of the enemy
are in our hands,
Unofficial reports tell of q severe
cavalry engagement today miles south
of Gettysburg between Union forces
and the rear guard of Lees army. The
Union Cavalry took many prisoners.
Officials here expressed the opinion
today that the heavy rains may prevent
Lee from withdrawing his artillery and
wagons, even though his infantry eS-

Lingerie Touch at Wrist and Neck
By MARY MARSHALL.

Lingeries touches are just as far re-
moved from the spirit of Hindoo, Egyp-
tan, Persian or Cambodlan costume.
And yet for 500 years there has usually
been some such detail In Occidental
dress.
Undoubtedly the passing Of the &C
cessory collar and cuff from fashion
some is years ago was in some way
connected with the broad wave OF ORR
entail influence in dress that occurred
at that time.
And 50 the revival Of the lingerie
touch at wrist and neck may be part
-. and parcel of reaSSertion OF Occl-
dental motives In dress generally.
Practically every important French
dressmaker has shown q disposition 70
take part in this revival of the lingerie
touch in some way or another and
women have found, possibly to their
surprise, that dresses trimmed IN TINS
way were far more becoming than the
more nonchalant things they have been
wearing.
On the more substantial sort Of
dresses pique Is often used at neck ana
wristS-sometimeS for gilets. Crisp
sheer lawn also appears. For lighter,
softer material lace or chiffon In ecru,
white or flesh tones is the fashionable
choice.
The smart new evening capes are
made from two semi-circular pieces OF
material Nothing could be simpler
than making one Of these capes. and
If you would like to know precisely now
to cut the material and put the gar
ment together I will send you TINS
weeks illustrated circular at once II
you will send a stamped, self-addresSeo
envelope, care of this newspaper, to Mary
Marshall.
