Decorations All In white and Green,
and Pretty Souvenirs Given Away.
With flowers, green and white
bunting, ribbons and laces, the large
store of Mitchell & Bash has been trans
formed into veritable fairy land. Green
and white predominate rywhere, aud
the effect is exceptionally hne The
decoration is the work Of William d
Kelly, of Trenton, New Jersey. The
design is Of double arches. in green and
whits bunting, with white lace and rib
bon festoons A bank of magnificent
specimens of stately palms, graceful
aspidispras, delicate ferns and potted
plants runs the length Of the store, di
viding 1t into two sisles. There are
palms in the show cases. and on the
counters. and in unexpected corners
The upper show window, is a model of
the decorators art. II is a unique affair,
somewhat in the form of japanese tea
house, all il white and green The
main feature, is double electric wheel,
revolving in opposite directions. The
eyes of all women are attracted by the
imported hats-numbers of them,
lovely creations Of the Partisan artist.
A handsome chapeau from the Bon
Marche is of green velvet and white
satin. II is trimmed with tiny Mercury
wings OF the velvet, lined with satin,
and two small white rosettes, from
which rise two white aigretts The
whole Is beautifully embroidered with
fine greenish beads.
It is noticed that not so many flowers
are used this season as last. feathers and
birds being the favorite trimming for
both hats and bonnets. A pretty,
but odd little chapeau was Just the
color of MRrechsl Neil rose. IL was as
fat as q pancake in shape, with narrow
frill Of satin all around the brim. The
top was gold lace work over black velvet,
and it had black velvet strings. At the
back were two miniature Iosettes Of yell
low satin.
There was lovely white hat, too, with
a Tam O'Shanter velvet crown, trimmed
with white satin ribbon, and two large
white tips.

r ush, of Georgetown, and appropriate
esolutions were passed. Mr.. Swarlz
offered the resolution Of thanks to the
people, pastor and press who have so
literally aided this pleasant fall meeting
of the Presbytery. The session then
adjourned with fervent prayer by Dr.
Regart.
The Last Evening Session.
After adjournment public service
was held and greatly enjoyed by large
congregation. Rev. Francis h Moore,
OF Middletown, was the first speaker and
his Subject was Foreign Missions ?
Mr. Moore said in part: THE work
which has been done by the Board OF
Foreign Missions OF our church is mar
velous In Japan the influence of mis-
sions has been felt to a great degree. The
last years reports gave the fact that
100 0O0 persons had been converted
600 a week. When we look au some Of
the Presbyterian reports it is encourag-
ing. In 1891, 700 communicates were
added to the church Only nine
Presbyterys in this country reported
that-many accessions and they were the
nine FIRST Presbyterys in the church.
Notwithstanding the many discourage
ments, God is making himself known to
the people. When we see all Of these
results; when we see how God is working
in these distant lands, should we not
take greater interest in this matter r"
Mr.. Moore was Intensely interested in
his subject aud delighted his hearers by
his eloquence
The congregation then sang From
Greenlsnd's Icy Mountains" after which
Rev. John Il Houck, Of Pocomoke CITY.
Md, was introduced. he delivered a
pleasing address on "Our Young People. "
taking text from several verses in the
second chapter Of acts, bearing on this
subject. Mr.. Houck said that any
church whleh keeps its young folks
in the background is falling
behind. That the church must keep in
touch with the young people He spoke
OF the care which parents take to develop
sndstrengthenitheir childrens characters
and said that If the church would take
the same pains TO reach and develop the
young men aud women, they would come
focking into the churches
At the close of the service Moderator
Regart offered another resolution 10 the
pastor and members Of the church and
others who had so pleasantly entertained d
the members of the Presby
terry, to the ladies of the church
for go beautifully decorating
the church, aud to the choir for its fine
music, and said that the members Of the
Presbytery would remember with
pleasure the kindness shown them BY the
New Castle people
The Presbytery closed by singing
''Blest Be the Tie That Binds.
