The stays illustrated in our cut have a wide insertion of. white silk elastic in front, which allows additional freedom to the diaphragm.
The newost chaussure and hosiery is all exemplified by our illustration of the small slipper of white satin with Louis XV, heel of white satin and its small V-shaped Incisions edged with pleated white baby ribbon and the rosette of the same ribbon at the instep. The stocking is. of white eilk clocked with white lace and embroidery, i The newest addenda to a bride's trous- seau and any woman's and one; which will prove as practical as it is becoming, is-a lace jacket, Louis Eton or bolero designs are reproduced in white, cream or black guipure or finer laces, over Ed Brandon and A.

PHILIPPINE ROUGH RIDERS. Regiment of Volunteer Cavalry Organized by a South Dakota Man. Yankton. S. Anril 5.
Soecial corre spondence: This town is the headquarters of a regiment which, if the intention of its organizers is carried out, will become' famous under the name of "The Rough Riders of the Philippines." The regiment haa been recruited especially for Bervice In the far east, and ia composed of men who fan rifl the buckine broncho toa Btand- still and hit a Filipino at the distance a Winchester carries. No others were wanted. The organizer of the regiment of Pb.il-ir.nlne Rouen Riders is.Cbl.' E. F. English, of this city, a veteran who served with distinction in the civil war and gained promotion for deeds that proved the daring of the man.
As he ia the most interesting personage in tb regimental. will describe him first. Col. lsglish was born in New Haven, in 1844. and when 17 years of age enlisted as a private in the First Con-, necticut cavalry volunteers.
He served three years, in this regiment, was made prisoner, and afterwards promoted to" captain, but, on account of wounds. waf not again mustered in. He. afterwards entered the national guard with 'the rank of major, was promoted to lieutenant colonel and then to colonel. He has traveled extensively and speaks Spanish fluently.
The regiment of light cavalry that CoL English' has raised and tendered to the president for service in the Philippines ia composed of two troops each from the states of Illinois. Nebraska and South Dakota, and one troop, each from Missouri, Iowa. North Dakota. and Montana. The men have been care- fully selected with a view to service in the Philippines, and are as intelligent, agile and "At a boay oi cavairytueu v-juiu bo found in auy army In the world.
For the work, for which they have been je-cruited they could not be equaled, as the Filipinos will find out if they continue to cut capers long enough to give the new regiment cf rbtrgh riders a chance to come to closesquarters with them. The men are to be mounted on ponies that are found in the Philippines and which are especially adapted for use in the climate of the island, where the rough riders are organized to fight. The regiment will carry no sabers, that being a weapon with which the men are not familiar and one that would be of little use to them in the style of fighting to which they are accustomed. Instead, they, will be armed with repeating rifles and revolvers, and, being crack ehota to a man, they will be experts at bush fighting or any other style of scrimmage where accurate shooting -is required and the nature of the ground necessitates a quick adaptation to the enemy's guerrilla tactics. For routing out a wily foe who hides in mountain, fastnesses and lurks in.
the recesses of the forest the Philippine Rough Riders will be an unequaled aggregation of brave and hardy fighters. To a body of soldiers who. for the most part, have been accustomed from boyhood to sleeping in the open, stalking game on the mountainside and occasionally hunting. men by way of diversion from the sport of hunting bears and wildcats, the Filipinos will be a problem easy of solution. In addition to the small arms, the rough, riders will carry with them a Zalinskr mortar, a gun which -wefghs about forty pounds, carries a one-pound shell a dis tance of four miles, and can be- transported easily, put together quickly and elevated or depressed to the maximum extent of any artillery weapon.
Armed In this way, the Philippine Rough Riders will be ready to serve as infantry, cavalry or artillery. They are; ready to fight In any way that the president stipulating only that they are not to be called upon to do garrison duty; they will be In the forefront of the battle or they will stay at. heme. Not a man in the regiment knows what fear means. They have facd ss TAYLOR For HIGHEST death too' often, for that.
America jrili have cause to admire Col. English's as-much as It did that raised byCaL Roosevelt, if the rough riders ever within, gunshot distance of the losurgesti And when white winged peace has settled over the islands I predict that of the regiment who survive will i strong factor In shaping the reconstructs of the commerce and politics of'the Philippines.

'Tia not a lucky month for nuptials and so she who lets April slip by must wait for June.
Several fashionable April weddinps in our gay capital have long engaged the attention! of the couturiers and tailleurs, who' have In consequence produced mod els of weddings gowns.

It comes from the famous ateliers of and ace, which forms a conspicuous trimming on the newest gowns, also appears on this In profusion. The skirt, with its scanty shape above, and Its Jlare1below; extends into a considerable train, and consists "of a foundation of shimmering wblte -taffeta which is entirely veiled by whie mous-seline de aoie and lace. At the 'front the white mousseline is laid on- in wide tucks which form V-shaped points, and with the' alternate bands of exquisite lace compose a tablier.
The white tanreta or the train is covered with, an all-over de sign of duch*ess point lace. The bodice is charmingly dainty and modest and matches the skirt in its decorations at once rich and simple. The tight fitting lining of white taffeta is made decollete and sleeveless, but the decollet-age Is accentuated by a ruffle of duch*ess point and is filled out by a guimpe of pleated white mousseiine de sole and a high standing collar of the same material. The thin mousseiine sleeves encase the ing. when an informal reception was given in honor of the new mayor, Mr.
