A CURIO
TEA
The Ladies Aid Society .of the Ly
ttlefon Street. Methodist Church gave
a most deVighfcfuJ entertainment at
the parsonage on Thursday evening
March 2l'st. It was a Curio Tea and
the exhibition of curios and relics were
both interesting and instructive and a
great surprise to many who had no
idea that such line collection could
be gotten: together in so short a time.
The ladies In the receiving line were
in costume, represent big the different
nations. Also the Colonial dames and
belles" of the sixties. A splendid musi
cal and literary programme was pre
sented and musical selections given
throughout the evening. ,The rooms
were tastefully decorated In $mllnx
and flQ)vers*? while many flags lent an
air of patriotism to the scene. De
licious refreshments were served free
of charge but a silver offering taken
at the do<fr and was generous and
? very gratifying to the numbers of,
the .Society.

may ho oven higher, and so we must
"make hay while the sun shines."
They certainly are enchanting, in all
tlielr 'pristine freshness droped In the
shop windows, or made Into adorable
littl?? frocks and suits. Crepes, voiles,
silk and cotton Jerseys, a veritable
feast for the goods. A yard or two
or palest ro$e organdie, a ruffle or
so of net. a twist of baby blue ribbon
and Miss Simplicity stands before you,
charming to a degree. There's a dif
ference in her simplicity this year
from the studied, often overdone effect
she achieved last year. Her skirts are
really narrow, and the charming ef
fect is really gained by?the material*
"made In America".- There are so few
imported goods in comparison with oth
er years.
There is one very noticeable thing
about the modes of this year, and that
is the way the Eton jacket is being
featured. Suits, serge dresses, walk
ing costumes and even lingerie frocks
have this youthful little jacket, or the
effect of one, which amounts to the
same thing in the long run. One stun
iii tig dress I saw the othVr day was
of blue serge, that material almost
impossible- to buy, with a short Eton
jacket worn over a white satin blouse.
The pockets on the skirt were lined
with the satin. They were not patch
pockets, merely slits, hut the peep
of white was most fetching. Of course,
tin- jacket was lined with the satin
too. The one illustrated here has
floating panels, front and hack, gather
ed at the -waistline. Note the (Hid
way the braid is put on. Indeed there
is a great deal' of braid being used
this year, Another dress I saw had
qunint Insets of black satin In the
blue serge waist, with Hercules braid
woven over it in the way the children
weave strips of colored paper at school.
There are many attractive ways to
make the collar and cuff set which
adds, such a touch to the costume. One
of the big stores here is featuring wide
sailor collars and deep cuffs with huge
black si>ots on them here and
there. -The s]>ots are the size of
silver dollars or larger, aud as you
can easily understand, there are not
more than . two or three to the col
lar. Double collars of dainty organdie
with their .matchless cuffs are the mak
ing of the simple walking dress or
suit. Spine of the dainty vests and
vestees are interesting, for they plain
ly show their oriental influence. Belts
and girdles will be much featured this
yea r.

of good-natured hut intense rivalry
between the. different regiment <4. Lit
tle notice of the contest was given/,
and tho platoons which should repre
sent the different regiments wore Se
lected only .festerday. In future.
General Faison declared, no notice at
all will be gircn, so that everyone
must remain on tiptoe all the time if
he wlshfcj his regiment to be tho l>est.
Hay o net and obstacle work is
taught by Captain George Batcholor,
of tho British army, assiKtod by
Sergt. Major Richards. Capt. Bache
lor, who had l>eon couliued to the lios
pital for the past few days wanted
to be up and direct the contest yes
terday. while Sergeant. Richards did
most of the scoring. The exhibition
moved without a hitch, and was well
Worth watching, as it was quite spec
tacular.
The contests over both courses were
by "waves" a certain number of men
being' started oyer tin* course every
few seconds. The standing of the
platoo* was determined by the per
centage of men finishing in a certain
time and by the form of the men In
getting over the course, .certain orrors
taking off more or less from the total.
In doing tho bayonet run, tho sol
diers had to bayonet three rows of
suspended dummies and one of dum
mies lying -?>i|. tho ground. To the
eye the performance was apparently
easy, except when now and then some
soldier in his zeal stuck his bayonet
too far into the dummy and had to
lug with might and main for several
seconds to get it out again. As taught
by their instructors, tho soldiers ut
tered gutteral exclamation as they
drove their sharp weajKins into the
targets of wooden rods, and the com
Wlnatinn of angry voices and bright
steel made the scene almost realistic
- ? The obstacle r??n was to- the eye
much mort? difficult, and perhaps
more spectacular, in spite of the ab
sence of noise and of bare steel. " The
contestants ran without equipment
other than belts and bayonet cases.
Beginning at ono end, they leaped a
low hurdle and climbed a ladder, like
arrangement, to be confronted by a
series of timbers placed ' on posts ful
ly 7 feet high, and running at sharp
angles to each other. The only way
to re;nh these was by running up a
timber laid 011 one side and slightly
flattened oil top to aid the footing,
and the only 'way to get down was
to jump. Few. however, bungled this
apparently ticklish roadway, and none
fell oil".
Tlio contestants next faced a 'pajr
of hurdles, so close together that it
was impossible to get any run be
tween. The first *wn* perhaps 3 feet
bju-h iitid the s<kX>n?l 5. A few negoti
ated them by jumping upon the first
and thence to the second, but the ma
jority preferred to "skin the cat" over
both. N'ext came a broad leap over
a shallow hole, with a little mud and
water in the. bottom to make it inter
esting. and finally an 8-foot wall made
of small rough logs laid horizontally.
Most "f the 'soldiers managed to grasp
the top by a running leap, after . which
it was an. easy matter to climb up by
putting , one's shoos into the crocks
j and to vault down on the other side.

platoon wore unit over the obstacle
(.'0111*80 after the whole platoons had
run it. The result, as it happened;
left the standing of the regiment* un
changed. The four men from the win
ning platoon of the 120th covered the
course in 23 1-2 .seconds, and tho four
of the 118th were only a second slow
er. As the course is exactly 100 yards
