A little stretching, a few wrinkles, will ruin the most fashionably cut, finely tailored gown ever made.

W. B. Allen, Reserve 'Brigade, 0. F. A., formerly of the 161st Iluron Battalion. Capt. Allen is very well known in Clinton, having been with the :Hurons when they were station- ed here before going overseas, and his letter, giving a vivid account of a fight in the air, will be read with interest. This describes legitimate air fighting, cork in which neither side need blush to engage while war is on. Deliberate raids upon hos- pitals, however, are the work of sav- ages : "I wish you could see a real good air fight, I saw the hest one I ev- er saw a few days ago, when one of his machines came over to photo- graph some of our gun positions, it was escorted by twelve battle planes but no sooner did they hove in sight than eight of our battle planes and four scouts started up to meet them, they did not get up quite soon enough to prevent Fritz from flying over our gun pits, which meant that he had the photo, so our fellows set them- selves to prevent him from return- ing they went after them just like a flock of wild geese in a V shape', you know, and then the little scouts shot out and passed the Hun prones, then they opened ilre and succeeded in slowing up the Hun Squadron so that our battle planes engaged them, then the ilght started, in earnest, sometimes they were 1m high, some- times ome- tis down so low you would t1i k they were going to land, but the Huns always keeping . their picture machine in the centre anti circling for their own lines ; at first you could see the fight quite well with the nailed eye and then with field glasses, at last down came a ilun machine end over end, and in about half a minute more another one, then one of our machines had to conte back to land because his pro- peller was shot away, then one of the little scouts, which are very speedy dashed demon and made as if to come up at the centre machine Iron below, which made hfm climb higher, then another scout Shat in 10010 the right funic, at the 5an1e time tttrnhtg the bullet hose on him, when down came Fritz's photograph gallery, then one of his battle planes had to main a forced landing anti was captured, the rest heat it hot back. They got four of their light- ing machinee in less time than it has taken to write this, and all 000 machines came back o. It, It was the most fascinating . sight I ever witnessed. I wish you could have 'semi it. Official reports state that Fritn, has lost over seven hundred machines in the last month, that's fho 81115 to give 'car," ;Klippen. Mr. Wm.
