Ae to gun power at the time of Wa terloo, two facts of guidauce: The British drill sergeants of the day taught recruits to hold their fire '.'until they could see the whites of the eyes of the enemy.*' That would make the best musketry range. 1 should say, about twenty -Ave yards. "Brown Bess" was Aot of much use beyond sixty yards,' judging by all the evidence. As to big pteceertheb. as now. naval guns wene superior to field artillery, and Nelson loved to get In his broadsides at sixty yards! 1 believe that (J00 yards was counted the limit of effec tive naval guri fire then.

Tho J-'ranco-Prosslan war c'osed a |H>rlod noted for Its cxtravaKOUce In drew, and following was a time of sever ity and plainness which was felt over ? MoCall the entire civilized world. To-day has | wen Hiiother period of extravagcnce , closed hy a world-wide war. and we are , nowi entering ni>on another period . which bids fair to he one of nntnnil-' ness and simplicity, and a turning ? from the Orientalism, which brought lh the lamp .shade tunics and the Tur kish styles of a few seasons back. _ The Paris openings show that voile, wool, silk or cotton Is used a prettt deal In the development of the new gowns. There are separate waists also made of it, usually in sand or putty colors. They suit the khaki and field cloth suits whiich are the rage of early Spring. Simplicity Is the mode in these waists, which button primly down the front and are sometimes tucked singly or in clusters. High collars, soft, and boned only at the sides, are very popu lar. Tbpse collars should not fit the neck tightly, but wrinkle loosely over the bones. If at all tight, they have lost their style. ? The waists of thin fabrics are by far smarter than those made of heavier fabrics. Chiffon and a voile which Is warranted iudestructable and looks more like chiffon than voile but with the latter's durability, Is used a great deal for these waists, even of the sim plest and plainest styles. Beneath these waists are worn cor set covers of plain 'white, flesh color er, or pink taffeta scalloped at the top an<l buttoned down tfcc front; k Beige and sand-colored taffeta is also used, to be worn under white chiffon or voile waists. In my illustration is shown a dress of tan voile. The bolero-effect In the waist Is made of an irregulnrlv check ed voHe iri xiuli sbndes of red. yellow and brown. The full skirt Is untrinnn-| ed. Voile and other fabrics are belne *old with borders in eortnint!ng colors. This helps in the trimming scheme, as tt'usunllv needs nothing else to mnke the dress complete. One of the odd and nuaint noveltle* ill evenly? frocks Is mudft wJth flounce* of white tulle edged with pink wors ted embroideredy It Is unusual, to snv. the least, and very effective.
