THE CHURCH LITERATURE CLUB.
ALFRED NJ COLLETT GIVES A LECTURE ON
ENGLISH CATHEDRALS.

The course of lectures on English cathedrais
given by Alfred NJ Colett under the auspices OF
the Society OF ST. Margaret proved so successful
that the Church Literature Club arranged set OF
two lectures in aid OF their work. Mr. Collects de-
lightful talks added over 500 10 the funds OF the
first-named society
The Church Literature Club has for It's object
the distribution OF magazines ard general literature
among the clergy and others In country parishes
where books not easily accessible. II Is prac-
tcaly on international society and accompishes
benefcent and highly appreciated work.
The first OF the lectures was given yesterday at
the rooms OF the Church Club. Fifth-ave and Forty
sevepth-st., at o'clock m. &C lnterbury was tho
subject and proved TO be one OF the most delight
full OF the entire series. Every stone In the great
ca thedral Is associated with the most romantic
episodes in English history. when St. Augustine
landed on the coast OF Kent and came to canter-
bury" said the lecturer. 'he found two Christian
churches already existing. one on the hill, later
known St. Martins. one in the fields at some
distance. which was given TO him for his preaching
ST. Martins lated back 10 the Roman period TO
I.anfranc the first Norman Archbishop the beaut-
ful cathedral owes much OF It's charm and. although
he did not live TO out large part OF his de
sign, his successor Anselm carried on the work IN
One Of the slides shown was the plan Of the
oathedral as il stood when a Beckett was murdered
in ito A. Dimes showing the paths by which he
and the knights severay reached the fateful spot
Mr. Coiett nad attended Henry Irving production
of Thomas Beckett" and found that In the play
the view Of the cathedral interior presented was
archaologically correct. ,,,
The lecturer has his assistant so carefully drilled
that the slides fade from one into another almost
as il one were walking from spot to spot with only
divisions OF foliage somewhat deepened shadow.
and listening he walks 10 eager cnat or
learned and brilliant companion
Among the audience were mrs Il ii ii, f ssc-

WIGS OF PAST CENTURIES.

One Of the most visible signs Of the great social
event which eliminated last night at the Waldorf
has been the display IN the show windows of the
ar1stOcratic hairdressers Of the marvellous wigs
OF past centuries. While some wigs have been
unique. the favorite cofures seem TO have been
those Of the times Of Louis XIV and XIV. with
puffs and curls and trimmed high in front. with
aigrettes and ostrich tips. while black satin bow
some nestled coquettishly above pen
cani curl.
The coifures FOR this ball." said Nine. 1sabeau.
have necessitated the most careful study of old
prints In order TO exactly reproduce the styles,
and much practice also.
"Dr. Ransford thought s. an exorb'ant price
for dressing the hair on this occasion, but 1t Is
none TOO much for II requires skill and time 10
arrange elaborate powdered couture
Many ladies wigs, but most OF the company
had their nar dressed My girls VIII begin at
O'clock" said Madame yesterday. and go as rap.
IDLY as possible from place 10 place I'll 10 or 1o;"
o'clock"
Among the ladies' who had their hair dressed
were Mrs John Mnturn. Mrs. Charles Post and
