as one entered. Noticeable also was the
font, surmounted by large cross of white
immortelles bedded in thick mass of
bridal wreath; and the choir, with its trim
ming of Gala lilies, wreatbs of roses and
ferns. The pillars OF the nave were graced
by clusters of Gala lilies, while the broad
lodges of the windows were bedded deep
with flowers backed by fern frOnds.
But it was always to the chancel that
ones attention was attracted, and always
with increased admiration, for the taste dis
played by Mr.. Housman and his lady as

mass OF emblems over the altar Lilies and
WOOdwardia ferns tastefuly grouped were
also used in the decoration of the panels. a
heavy chain of smilax hung in graceful
curves along the altar rail and followed the

the altar stood magnificent pots OF annun-
citation lilies sent by Mrs. j. ID. Tallant, and

and gilly flowers, the gift of Mrs. Ladley.
The pulpit was outlined with white roses
and smilaX and hung with heavy white silk
hangings. Above it large clusters Of feur
de lis and white lilac were massed on the
pillars.
A beautiful emblem-a cross of English
ivy, encircled by a lilac wreath-was Sus-
pended from the reading-desk, and from the
lecturn hung an exquisite wreath of delicate
ferns, the gift of Mrs. Tripler. Another
