UNIFORM OF THE VOLUNTEERS.

Mrs. Ballington Booth in Her New Religions Livery. The women soldiers in Bnllington Booth’s new army, “The Volunteers,” ■will wear a uniform varying considerably from that which clothes the forms of the sisters In the old Salvation army. It is thought by many to be prettier than the old uniform, although there are others who will prefer the familiar hat and simple attire of tbe original. The new uni-

form is of cadet blue, made on lines that fit the figure snugly around tfhe shoulders, waist and hips. The bodice is made after a pattern somewhat resembling a Norfolk jacket, with three flat plaits back and front.' The gored skirt is narrow. Ho sleeves are skin tight and about tbe close wrists are set folds of white lisse, a little fold of whidh appears at the throat, giving the costume a dainty, trim, quakerish aspect. Mrs. Booth looks charming In her new religious livery and her troops are very proud of her. Ex-Aid.
