Men say in the'iir boast fulness that thay are not "slaves of fashion" and that they "wear what they want to," and all that sort of thing; but just the same these very lords of creation ' are, strictly speaking, more slaves than their plumed sisters. A man will not confess it, but he is so much the victim of the arbitrary decrees of fashion that he merely takes what the tailor gives him, with seldom a cheep of protest. ' e walks in to his tail or and explains awkwardly that his ,rfo h'nrdpred him to get a new suit. He is not willing even to take ..ocrmncihiKtv of imitating pro ceedings. He is shown a number ,of fabrics suited to nis persou aim TnL-Pt and when he sees something he thinks he might like he orders it with embarrassed expedition. Tw -a woman would have spent hours at that work . She would have visited at least'adozeu different tail ors; would have compared values and varieties; would have studied styles in the streets and in the shops, and would have, consumed a day or two in .deeding how the garraeuts should be made. But wheu she had fiuished she would have impressed npr individuality uuon her dress a thing that the man never thinks of doing. She is not the slave ot tasn ion she's fashion's partner - and running mate. Man is the only real slave iu the premises. , . wparjons.

It is well 1 that the military ex nprrs should ' devote themselves to the very practical problem which so vitally affects the mobility of the army as does the amount of para- Dheruaha which the individual sol dier must carry in the field in time of war. The practice marches,which, have been so much in vogue in the military establishments, and which have caused so many protests, have been under conditions which corres pond with those destined to be en oonntered bv the soldier in campaign y m. this srives the enlisted man an op- Durtunitv to train himself for the burden he must carry in the way of 1 1 rations, ammunation, shelter, and away from the garrison, without omitting any article wuich snai con- tributes to his value as a dgnter. xt is realized that there must . be a re duction upon this factor, as was graphically shown during tne war witti opain, wueu out uiwp iu endured tne aiteruaiuig wimaic whirth chilled them to the bone .with drenching rains and par- boiled them in the tropical sunsniue. There and then the soldiers cast away their blankets and other artic les which were ot use-to them in tne way of shelter and protection. The route of thft military advance upon Santiago was marked by this reject ed military equipment. Under oth er conditions, more serious in the way oi an enemy. thi. extravagance 01 the individual necessitieo would have been a cordial invitation to de feat. No greater service can be render ed to the foot soldier, therefore, than the intelligent application ot scien tific military thought toward the re duction of the burden of the fight ing nian. la- 1 writes Mrs. E.
