Never did any commander face his problem under greater difficulty than did Gen. George Gordon Meade. At three o'clock on the morning of June 28, less than 80 hours before the great battle opened, he was awakened in bis tent at the headquarters of the Fifth corps, which be had been commanding. An officer from Washington announced that he had come bringing trouble. Later, In a letter to his wife, Meade confessed that he thought the officer bad come to relieve him of his command or to arrest him ; but bis conscience was clear.

Two Great Battles. Few visitors who go to Gettysburg realize that there were two battle fields in that historic struggle. The battle of the first day was fought to the north and west of the town. Not a single federal soldier was left on that field when the fight ended in How complete was the Confederate victory on that day was disclosed after the war by General Meade, who said that If General Lee had followed and placed his batteries on Gulp's hill that evening the federal army would have been forced to withdraw. One need only climb the observation tower near the site of General Meade's headquarters and from that vantage point view the second battle field to appreciate the tremendous price the Confederates were destined to pay on the second and the third for their victory of the first. For here Nature had provided General Meade with a veritable citadel ready for fortification, in which to await an attack, and events had given the Army of the Potomac time to occupy this position and entrench Itself. Here the legions of I.ee endeavored to overpower their gallant foes of many a Virginia battle field. Here they waded through blood at the Peach Orchard and the Wheatfleld; here they faced the most withering blasts tha,t war at its bitterest could bring upon them, as they struggled for possession of Devil's Den and the rooky heights of "Little Round Top, where the Issue hung on the quick eye of General Warren and the matter of a few minutes. Thrloc victory eluded the grasp of Lee In the fighting of the second day. Night closed down upon the fritrhtful scene of carnage with the flower of Stonewall Jackson's old corps In Meude's trenches, on the southern elope of Culp's Hill, within 150 feet of Meade's line of retreat and close to his reserve parked artillery.

The fact that designers, when It comes to bridal veils, are In a mood particularly this season Is a good omen. It means that modern brides are being veiled to type rather than following prescribed rules. The group pictured shows how very versatile present-dabrides are being veiled. The exquisite ensemble on the seated figure at the top bespeaks a recent gesture among designers toward crowning the bride with little beret fantasies which depart from the regulation fitted lace or tulle cap versions. The circular flare of tulle about the face and at the back Is perfectly charming. three-quartThe veil with Its rounded silhouette Is an iny novation. Not only are these beret arrangements In vogue, but some of the most fashionable brides of the season are wearing the most ravishing little hats of tulle with visorlike brims, also of tulle, a wreathlet of orange blossoms encircling the shallow crown, the veil draped with consummate art to fall over the shoulders en train. Then, too, In tune with this new theme of tulle hats with a brim, little "sets" are offered at . smart shops, which cater to brides, which include enchanting flower toques, either of roses and petals or of orange blossoms and buds, with muffs made of the same, the newest Idea being for the muff to be The voluminous veil Is worked to fall In graceful billowy masses over this flower headpiece and the long train of the heart-shape- The inspiring thought about these lovely flower ensembles Is that oae need not take the responsibility and burden of working out these beguiling fantasties at home, for they are available at most any milliner shop or stores which make a spe dairy of outfitting brides with veils and headdresses. Flower hats and muffs In different colors for the bridesmaids complete the picture. The alluring fitted lace cap and lace trimmed veil posed on the seated fig ure below In the picture Is just such as brides-to-bdream of when they plan their trousseaux. The distinguishing feature about this veil Is that the rarely beautiful lace Is Inset Instead of the usual border arrange ment. There Is something very interesting to tell about the veil on the bride standing to the left The veil Is made In two sections, so that after the ceremony the bride can remove the long train, if she so desires, without Interfering with the youthful capelike portion which so becomingly envelops her shoulders in a mist of tulle.
