fenses for which a cadet could be

“squllled,” I. e. reported for one of the
many breaches of regulations).

tality.
“Benny Havens’ character was many
sided, kind to children, Invariably
courteous to women,” so reads a sketch
in “Bugle Notes,” the handbook of
the United States Corps of Cadets, or
“the plebes’ Bible,” as it is called at
West Point. “He was possessed of a
terrible and ungovernable temper.
There was an indefinible something
about his personality, that bound his
friends to him by inseparable ties.
Virtues and qualities were his which
helped to shape the lives of and give
guidance to, as they to life's
pinnacles, many whose names are now
engraved on the pages of history.”

cadet named Edgar Allan Dur.

well-known treatment of fiydrophoblia
which he showed to be caused by the
presence of specific bacteria in the

September 28, 1805.

There will be shown many combina-

or of a coat, blouse and little jacket,
all of jersey. In such outfits as these,
and also when a Jersey blouse accom
panies the conventional tweed suit, the
newest practice is to have the blouse
of a darker shade than the coat and
skirt, The blouse is almost always of
the tuck-in variety, about which there

Brald tweed straws and milan brald
girnws are shown in all shades from
pale pastels to a red that would give
any bull a bad fit of hysterics.
The tam, the beret and the turban
in their less sophisticated versions are
all grist to the young girl's mill. One
floppy tam is of angora straw in the
orchid shade that will be very popu-
lar when summer is definitely here.
The gob hat, worn by languid ladies
on the Riviera beaches, is developed
in a two-toned crocheted straw with a
smart little velvet bow placed imme-
diately on the top of the head.
A rather less casual hat of this type
is developed in a wool and straw brald
of pink and white and shows a little
lining of French blue grosgrain ribbon
about the scalloped brim. Utterly
shapeless and charming are some hats
of tricolor wool braid that looks like
gtraw and cannot be crushed by the
most indefatigable of school children.

More conventional hats of straw will
be interesting this year in that their
very noticeable brims will usually be
even all the way around. Later pea-
nut straws, bakus and milans will be
very important and hats of woven
