women were enrolled under the Lutheran
Church alone.
In England these women call them

A DEACONEsS DRESS.
The habit was agreed upon for the sake
OF economy and neatness. For the
Methodist deaconess IL consists Of black
cloth, a skirt. and basque, made very sim
ply, showing hemstitched muslin Guns
and collar, close-nttlng, small,
black bonnet, tied under the chin with
wide muslin strings. and a short black
veil. falling a bit below the waist-line in
