arrangement of flowers on yonr mantle,
or fruits on your tabls. They must have
an air of having been picked from the
trees.
The last sketch in this article repre-
sents two delightful costumes suitable
for visit to any garden party, outdoor
recreation or summer entertainment.
The one on the left is beige colored
cloth, >the stripes being in pale green
velvet, made in strikingly original and
artistic style. The hat, an extremely
picturesque composition, is of black tulle
tiecked over with natural looking flies.
The other dress is more startling, in fact,
quite sensation in color and arrange
ment. 1t consists of a striped merveil-
leux. alternately black and yellow, the
black stripes being dotted over with
small yellow spots. The hat is likewise
an elegant production q fat crown of
black silk gauze with garland of yellow
flowers. Now if you have imagination
you'Il get some of the effect of this
black and yellow arranged as described.
i know my male readers will simply
look stupid and say: 'sWould like to
see the dress on pretty wOmanl"
Greatly, my DEAR said some one
to Mrs. de Freeze, who, by the way,
has beautiful throat; ssyou leave
nothing for the imagination. -
''Men have nonel" was the curt re-
ply.
With these charming toilets for sum-
mer outdoor entertainments. there goes
q large wrap Of Lyons lace, embroidered
with narrow braid aud lined with tulle
so as to make 1t rather an airy nothing
than protection although 1t viii serve
for both. .s

If you are to believe the great minds
who "createp fashions, the aim is now
adays to be natural. For instance, it Is
promised that the dahlis Is to be very
popular this summer as garniture for
hats; not, however, the dshlia of art,
double and triple, but the plain, old
fashioned dahlis of grandma s garden.

INTERESTING SERVICES.
Rev. H. A Browns 18TH Anniversary as
Pastor of the First Baptist Church.


Pastor Browns 18th anniversary
sermon at the First Baptist Church
Sunday morning was an able and
appropriate effort, and was attentive
ly listened to by large audience,
Before the close of the service col
lection amounting to over $500, was
pledged toward the purchase of II
fine organ for the church.
Mr.. Brown also read a beautiful
and touching letter before the close of
the service from DIR. Edward Roud-
thaler, of the Moravian church. The
letter was the most interesting from
the fact thatPastors Brown and Rond-
thaler have been serving their con-
gregations for about the same num-
Der of years.
SUNDAY NIGHTS EXERCISES.
Mr.. A. II. Eller's "words of well
come were beautiful, and did honor
to the man who delivered them.
Need of young men in the
church, was the subject that was
ably handled by Prof. Beckett.
DR.. j. C. Watkins spoke of the
STRUGGLES and early history of the
church" In speaking of the growth
of the Baptists he said that there
were now about 10000 white mem
bers in North Carolina, there being
now twenty-seven churches in the
Pilot Mountain Association. In
1870 there We're only four Baptists in
Winston Salem, at which time the
church here was mission station.
On tho End Sunday in mber,
1877, Rev. Fl. A. Brown preached
his first sermon in Winston. The
first church built cost $500; since
that time about $4,000 have been
spent on improvements.
Supt. ". J. Conrad made a talk
on the Sunday School work during
the past year. He said that the
school now had an enrolment of
36O pupils with an average atten-
dance Of go. The uperintendent
also urged the cooperation of
the children's parents in the work,
and impressed them with the good
that might be accomplished with
their assistance. In the fancial
report he said that the school collec
red $249.7G during the year for
the following causes: Incidentals,
$50. 40; Literature, $50 II; Town
ship association, $500; Colportage,
$500; Thomasville. Orphanage,
$62.02; Foreign Missions, $12,S !;
Home Missions, 1856.
Mr.. D. S. Reid spoke of the finan
ces of the church IN a very interest
ing manner. On behalf of the
church Mr.. Reid stepped forward
and presented Rev. III. A. Brown
with check for 800 as token of
their esteem for his valuable services
rendered during the past 13 years.
The gift was accepted by Mr.. Brown
n a brief, but appropriate words
Of thanks.
Before the close of the exercises
several in the congregation pledged
additional sums toward the organ
fund. They expect to purchase their
new organ, to cost about 81 900, the
first Of May, 1891.

the right man for the position herein
alluded to:
North Carolina newspapers are
suggesting that Peter NJ. Wilson,
Esq. OF Winston, should be selected
to take charge of that States exhib-
it at the Columbian Exposition. The
thousands from all parts of the Uni

the Atlanta, Boston or New Orleans

a fine reputation as a courteous,

most happy to renew acquaintance
with him at Chicago as its represent

tensive and accurate information, IL
wide acquaintance with prominent
men, and an Invaluable experience in
such matters have their due weight
with the appointing power, Mr.. Will
son will unquestionably be the mana
