topics of Interest In clothcsland this week ,
for hitherto nobody could speak with any
niithorlty whatsoever on the long or short-
bnircd skins. It really Is not uutll the

to put their new furs to' practical uses , that

sized muff Is considered effective and per
fectly sufficient for trimming , though there
is no reason to assert that small capes ,
shoulder pieces \ylth stole fronts , or in fact
any of the good orthodox cuts of fur have
lost one whit of their popularity.
1 Smart but Chilly.
All the no\v capes , of course , are shawl ,
shaped , their sloped fronts treated verj
often with a graduated arrangement of tails
but for warmth these new garments are t
pnaro and a delusion. They BCOUI fairly tc
invite and hold every 1cy blast. The niosi
commendable of the cape family are those
rather graceful llttlo fellows of cloth thai
only drop to the elbow and have rovers ani
n high collar faced with fur.
Some of these capes are cut from vorj

nnd are satln-qulltcd inside , which add'
many degrees to their warmth. With al

in front. Such a scarf keeps the collar clos
obout the ears and gives comfort to thi
wearer's neck and they , more than anythlni
else , have delayed the reincarnation of thi
long boa.
Melon MufTii.
Over In Russia the fair empress has give :
the ukase on muffs , for it is said that th
only fad of that gentle , melancholy woma :
is for furs. Just now she prefers a melon
chaped muff with street dreuses and
good big fellow , at that. 1'he muff is mad
of ten pieces of fur , eo braced that the

flvo inches in circumference , while th
orifices at either end nro very small. Wit
eraart calling toilets she adopts a sma
muff raado wholly of polar fox , sable , < ]
crmhio tails , and the few that have bee
imported are worth from $300 to $ lCOi
There simply la no question as to the !
beauty , but the price is so exclusive th :
many women are going to content the
gently covetous souls with ostrich an
marabout feather hand protectors.
For a good , serviceable , ilmplo and tast <

s very easy , however , to have to a last
year's fur coat small , pretty hip , long cut
away tails adjusted , and a lace jabot or a
ompleto new front , of bright brocaded satin
nd lace Idld on over the bust.
There really Is ' nothing that has not
been told over and over again to tell now
bout the application of fur as a dress trim
ming. Hands and bindings of mink ot
iroadtall crop out , In accepted style , on
landsotne cloth nnd velvet costumes , though
n Paris they do cut from broadtail some
cry lovely conventionalized patterns ol
rult and flowers nnd applique them on
velvet. Short of trimming a gown witli

Ion more extravagant than this or an }
more richly beautiful.
Oho damson purple velvet brought ovci
rom Paris had a scries ot large broadtail

which records n few very humane Incidents

It was a few days after the great Santiago
fight , about July 10 , that my sister and I
heard ono morning that the steamer Breakwater -
water was in , nnd the sick nnd wounded
were being taken to the camp hospital.
Wo had already offered our services to
the surgeon In charge , but had been told
that his orders from Washington prevented
his having any women nurses In camp.
So this morning we wasted aio time In for
mal applications , but went round to the

charming coronet hat is the finishing touch.
Another model shows the treatment of a
small black velvet capo with mink tails and ,
the muff that accompanies the capo Is a
melon-shaped comforter of alternating dark
and lighter stripes of mink.
A reticule muff In two compartments ap
pears with the third figure , which Illustrates
the uses of the bow boa , while the fourth

How the rich chined and embossed silks'
1 and satins are made up in reception and 'tea
; gowns la elucidated in the two single cuts
' of figures. The larger model Is that of a
costume wrought out from kilted crepe llsso
and moire decorated In floral patterns. The

over pale yellow silk. The moire train nn < l

left'of'the camp where guards were few ,
'Tlicro ' wo found a 'yoimrvolunteer1 ; doctor ,
; with' moro cleverness than respect for au
thorities , and ho took us Into Iho camp
ami set us to work.
For the next ton days we were the ouly
women nurses In the camp , and as all
the men felt more comfortable when there
was a woman about , wo did what wo could
for the whole GOO. It was during these
first days of rushing around that we found
ourselves nicknamed "The sunshine of the
camp. " Some of il\o Michigan volunteers
were gallant enough lo originate that tjtlc.
Going ono day to look for one of the men
nurses who was not nt his post , I found that
ho had developed a mild form of insanity ,
cud was to bo sent to the asylum. I wont
to set ) if I could do anything for him. Ho
lumped to his feet when ho saw me , saluted
tad said : "Llko two ungels of light ye de
scended upon us. Goodby , goodby ! I'm goIng -
Ing homo to ride my new white bicycle wjyi
my monogram painted on It. " I concluded
ho was at least happy , and left him to the
t'so hospital stewards who had him In
charge.
Scattered through all the tents were a few
of the colored troops , and wherever I found
ono I found gentleness and good humor and
natlenco ; and all the men agreed to the ver
dict ot an old Irish sergeant when ho said :
"An thlm coons kin fight ! There's lots of
us wouldn't be hero now If 'twasn't for
thlm. "
Ono of my men told mo that as bo lay
wounded in the trenches another man calnc
to him BO covered with blood that he could
not tell whether he was black or while , nmi
asked htm if ho coufdn't do romethlng to
help him. "No , man , " 'replied my patlbnt ,
"you'd better go and have something done
for yourself. " The other man wiped the
blood from his face and said : "Now , look ,
and tell mo what's Iho matter with me , " and
ho told him ho had been almost scalped by
a plcco of shell. " 0 , well , " was the woundeJ
man's answer. "If that's all , I'll go see II
icme of the other men don't need help , " and
oft ho went , stopping nt the wounded nnd
the dead , and finally finding down the line n
uoundcd man who consented to bo carried
back to the doctor , whereupon ho promptly
took him on his blood-atulned shoulders and
carried htm to the hospital ,
In ono of my own wards I had n little
colored private , very black , with popped eyes
that blinked continually , and an Indescrib
able accent , whoso one prayer was "Le'mc
git back to my company. Please , miss , gll
me well an' son' me back. "
Ono day I askeSl him , "Peters , why d <
you want 'to go back. Aren't jou comfortable -
fortablo hero ? "
"Vea , miss , " ho answered , "but please
miss , Ic'nio go back. 1 wan * kill some mori
them Spauyuts ? "
"But why , Peters , don't you think you'vi
killed enough ? " I Insisted.
"No , miss , no miss , dey done kilt mj
cnptun , and den wo cotch dc man wha
dona It , an' when I see ' 1m I start to
Mm , an' I eay , 'Now I'so got you , nov
I'EO gwlno servo jou llko you scno mj
cnptun. ' An' my lieutenant ho grab mo bj
er shoulder an' ho say , 'You , Peters , yoi
git back whar you belongs , don' you novel
let mo even hear you talk bout klllln' :
prisoner ; ' but 1 say , 'You Just le'mo git holi
my carbecn , an' see whether I kill 'Im ci
not. Yes , miss , I sutcnly Is got to kll
oomo more Spanyuts. "
After 'things ' become more systematize
and moro women nurses were employed I
only had two \varde , about sixty men , mosi
of them regulais , who had "soldiered" foi
years , and thought the climate ot Cuba nose
so bad after that of Nebraska. Ono day an
old cavalry corporal asked to what regi
ment the men In a neighboring tent be
longed. I told him they were all member !
of a well known volunteer regiment. "Ah
sure then , " he icplled "tho poor buoys
need rale good nilrsln' , for raany's the time
down to Santiago I've seen , "cm como tc
mornln * sick call , suffering wld sunstroke
which Is dangerous when you contract li
at night ; an' thlm that didn't have sun
stroke had cold feet ! "
A sergeant of infantry in ono of mj
wards was a great joy to visitors whc
wanted to hear ot hairbreadth escapes , foi
he had been graced by a mauscr bullel
across his whole body , beginning at his loft
arm and going all across his chest to his
right arm. His real wound was a bad one
In the thigh , but ho valued above every
thing the flannel shirt ho wore at Santiago
With Its'eight holes , all made by the same
bullet.
It was In the Hist part of August that
a nrw man , an Illinois volunteer , was
brought Into my ward from Porto Rico with
fever. 'He ' was not very 111 and as I put
him to bed and made him comfortable , 1
said : "How do you think you caught this
fe\er ? I thought Porto Rico was a healthy
place ! " Ho was nothing but a boy , and he
burst out crying , as Jio bald : "I don't
know anything about Porto 'Rico ' , miss. I
never landed. 1 got sick on the transport ,
and they sent mo right back here ; and all
the other fellows Is there now. " HP was
In the "blues" for several days , till hla
mother carao to Icok after him , and I thlnK
her content at having him safe and not
with 'thi' other fellows" rconcll.-l hi n ,
for ho went on furlough in a week or two
looking happy.
The very best of the men nurses were two
Armenians. One had been the son of a
minister ot the Armenian church , and had
Been hla father , mother and sisters killed
by the Turks. He told of it one day , very
quietly , but with a look In his eyes which
mada me thing that stray and unprotected
Tutks had best avoid him. Both of the Ar
menians were wonderfully clean , endlessly
patient and as gentle as women. The men
grew very fond of them , and called them
"John" quite regardless of their Intricate
names , which sounded just as they looked ,
written In Armenian characters.
Only a day or two before I left the hos
pital I went Into the diet kitchen and found
the chef dancing- with rage and almost
speechless. He ran toward me as I came
In , and when I could understand anything
ho said I found he was begging me. "Splk
for me ! Splk for mo ! Tell the dootalre ! "
I said I would speak to anyone ho pleased
if ho would only tell mo what he wanted ,
and then he waved his hand solemnly to
ward the stove and Bald : "Look ! lieholdf
Hero are ten gallons of milk I hat put to
sterilize , and they hat curdl curdle ! "
O , but ho was a Jewel , that cook ! He
had been chef at the Whlto House for years ,
and then at governmsnt house In Jamaica ;
and the "light diets" he used to send down
Into the wards were a treat to see. I shall
never forget his milk toast. It would have
been a dainty dish to set before the king.
When the war broke out this chef wanted
to do something for the soldiers , and so
volunteered to oue of the relief associations ,
which sent him to our hospital. They paid
him about what his board coat , so ho prac
tically gave his cervices , and that meant
a great deal.
Finally , about the end of August , my
sister and I said goodby to our men and

A WOMAN WAS THE INVENTOR.
Thousands have tried from tlmo Immem
orial to discover come efficacious remedy
Cor wrinkles and other imperfections of
the complexion , but none bad ytt suc
ceeded until the Misses Bell , the now famous
'
ous Complexion Specialists , ot "S Fifth
avenue , New York City , offered the pub-
tic their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason so many failed to make this
dtsco\ery before is plain , because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms ,
Creams , Lotions , etc. , never have a tonic-
effect upon the skin , hence the ( allures.
The Mlss.es Bell's Complexion Tonic has
a most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle ,
absorbing nnd carrying off all Impurities
which tup blood by its natural action Is
constantly forcing to the surface ot the
skin. It Is to the skin what a vitalizing
Conic Is to the blood and ucryes , a kind of
uow life that immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately , and It
speedily banishes forever from the skin ,
freckles , pimples , blackheads , moth patches ,
wrinkles , liver spots , roughness , olllncss ,
eiur-tiona and dlscoloratlons of any kind.
In older that all may bo benefited by
their Great Discovery , the Misses Bull will ,
during the present month , give to all cull-
left the camp , which was by that tlmo pro
vided with plenty of contract nurses , who
are paid $30 a month and their board. And
wo were very proud of being able to say that
wo had nuised sixty men apiece , for five
weeks , and never lost a patient.
