 For the past six weeks cele- brated decorator from Little Rock has been at work upon the interior of the church. The ceiling and walls have all been covered with frescoing, and the pillars and wood work correspond in color and design. High up on the chancel is painted a beautiful picture of Christ.

They are handsome and comfortable. All of the church furniture is of oak. A stone fence with iron top will en- close the church edifce and grounds.
 One of the finest musicians in the south has been engaged as organist and musical director, Prof Geo. E. Quinton, a graduate of famous conservatory of Naples, Italy. MT. Quinton comes here prepared to give the Episcopal congregation the finest sacred music this city has ever had.

Bachelor Maids.

Miss Grace York was the charming hostess who entertained the Bache- Tor Maids, the meeting being held at the home of her parents OH West Fifth avenue last Wednesday after noon.
 AS the Lenten season is now on, the young maidens did not indulge ID frivolous or exciting games of cards, and attempt to win worldly honor. Their demeanor was that of their Puritan ancestors, and they participated in social converse, mak- ing the latest conquest a subject for their attention and venturing guess es as to whom the next victims to cuple's arrows would be.
 Though the meeting of the young ladies was devoid uf the more entic- ing amusements, the occasion vas one of the most pleasant gatherings in the history of the club.
 Refreshments, delicate and dainty, were served to the guests and were partaken of with a relish that was fiattering to the hostess.
 Those present were Misses Fay Taylor, Gussie Taggart, Eddie Rut- ledge, Ella Galbraith, Georgie Brad ford, Fannie Turner (Nashyille), Sammy sennett, Bird Martin (War- ren) and Grace York.
