Ladies OF the New Church" held their
regular Round Table at the residence of
Mrs. Carnan. 1851 Q street.
Dress reform was the subject for discus
siOn hut on this particular occasion Mrs.
Sarah A. Spencer evolved the woman from
the clothes and drew a magic circle around
the table while she recounted the doings
of the New Church conference meeting held
in Wilmington, Del, last week.
1t seems that the New Church edifice being
erected in this city is to be national
church, or head ofthe whole Swedenborgian
sect, and great anxiety is felt as to the Sc
lection of a pastor.
The general convention to be held in May
might decide the question Of pastor for the
National Church, and Mrs. Spencer wanted
women TO be elected delegates to this con-
vention.
Mrs. Spencer nominated for Washington
five delegates, four OF whom were elected.
One Of these was lady, Mrs Ellen Spencer
Mussey, of this city, thus establishing the
principle Of church representation in gen
eral convention by women.
Spinner Memorial Association last week
invited members and friends to see the

everyday garb going to and from the Treas
ury Department, during the many years of
bis public stewardship. The funds for the
statue and pedestal have been collected by
the. association from the women to whom
Gen. Spinner opened the doors of the Treas
ury and for whom new employment was
created
Among those who viewed the statue were:

a break in your low shoes does not deprive
you of your CATERS OF vice versa, but z your
