He Loved the Sunshine.

The death Of George Washington Childs
is severe loss to the California Episcopal
church. to which, although not residing in
this State, he was liberal contributor.
My own relations with Mr.. Childs
were personal ones" said Bishop Nichols
when asked yesterday whether commence
rative services would be held in this city.
He has never been associated with any of
our parishes here, so that they will take
no action. In Philadelphia there will be
memorial services for Mr.. Childs. and in
the next issue of the Pacific Churchman /
shall mention the event. 1t would be
impracticable to drape the prayer-book
cross in mourning, and l believe If Mr..
Childs could express his wish he would
rather have the cross associated with the
sunshine"

Shakespeare puts luteS in the hands

existence are very old. The difference
between the lutte and the guitar is
principally in the body. which in the
lutte is pcar-Shaped. This made it Il

An English writer. early in the seven

stated that lutcs of that period were

they were very costly. An old lutte of

Weddings,

A new fad has lately been intro
1uccd from England that gloves shall
not be worn at weddings by the bride
and groom. This undoubtedly arose
from the fact that some high-born
lady once forgot her gloves, remarks
writer in Harpcrs Bazaar. How far
this fashion will be followed it is diff
ficult to say. but no doubt there are
some persons who will adopt it. Some
times the bridesmaids or maids of
honor enter the church one by one
from each side of the chancel, and,
joining in the middle aisle, walk down
to meet the bride and her father.
| Srally. however, the uShers walk in
from the front door, followed by the
bridesmaids, then the bride on the
fathers arm, the groom mcanN lille
