I have seen something of the Tosk Albanian clans, however people inferior to thn Ghegglies in every way, physically and morally. Pre! ty faces nre common among them; line figures mid hair, large blue eyes, almost universal. I remember pay- lug a visit to Antivari after the bombardment. Wandering about among the press of dirty Montenegrin soldiers and picturesque Albanians, I came upon a ruined mosque, whiijh hud been used, perhaps, as a hospital; it was littered with rags and miscellaneous effects. A dozen young girls, In their long blue house dress, were gathering these odds and ends toget her in heap.

They showed no alarm at my appearance lu the doorway, but pressed together and stood in a little throng, -gravely staring. The action and the look bad a curious resemblance to the behavior of mountain sheep under likecir-cumstances. If I had approached the resemblance might have been carried farther, perhaps, for mountain sheep charge promptly when cornered. One would not expect more than two or three good looking among a dozen English girls. It is my strong impression that every one of these was tall, fair, rosy, blue eyed and pretty; several were beautiful.

The Ghegglic women must be among the loveliest of Europe, if they be as much iti-perior to the Tosk as the men certainly are.

It was suggested that wo givo her a small token of our love and esteem by PENSIONS. presenting a gold Recognition Pin to nor.

Mrs. Rush was chosen as tho ouo is to have a soldier papei as the medium of our order, so that all soldier organizations may know what we are doing. Our order is fast coming to the front, and is more widely known and better appreciated than ever before. We are assured that the Forum has come to stay, so let us rally to its support and do all we can to make it the best soldier paper in the State. Send us any items of interest as we to present it.
