SIR ARTHUR Wears, ULSTER AT ARMS.
Wears, Ulster king at arms, was an
imposing and dignified figure ina mass
i've gold and crimson tabard and
quaint Elizabethan ruff.
At the command, "Ulster, summon
the knightsl" he disappeared, almost
instantly reappearing, like a quick
change artist, in a circling crimson
cloak, heading the knights companions,
Is in number, who, walking in order
of seniority, took their seats on the left
of the chapter table, where was one
vacant seat, soon,to be filled by the hero
of the function. The knights were hab-
tied in their blue mantles and insignia,
and, with the staff of his excellency,
they made a magnificent tableau.
The roll was then called, Queen Vic
toria's warrant read, and. proceed by
the official rod Of the gentleman usher,
Lord Charlemont, an old time official of
the ~viceroyalty, the Earl of Lucan was
presented to the grand master, who,
taking a sword from an aid-de-camp,
dubbed the gallant soldier knight
The procession on this occasion was
interesting and striking. The junior
knights, Lords Arran and Roberts, con-
Quoted the earl between them to the
chair of state. His heraldic properties
were severally borne by the different
officers of the order. Athlone, pursui-
want of arms, led in the, pageant, and
the banner was held by the MarqEis of
Hamilton. The earl himself wore the
uniform of a lieutenant colonel of the
First Life guards, his medals glisten-
ing on his scarlet tunic. After signing
the statutory declaration, read by the
chancellor, he was robed by the senior
knights, Lords Listowel and Kenmare,
to the accompaniment of the prescribed
admonitions.
When finally girded with the sword
and enveloped in the mantle, a fanfare
greeted the unfurling of the new
knights banner, and Ulster, in a reso-
nant and clear voice, declared his titles,
as already recited, with the addition of
his new investiture. Ulster then con
cluded the ceremony by rehearsing the
dignities of the knights present, each
knightsising to his name and remain
ing standing while the list of his dig
mites was read.
Perhaps the Earl of Lucan, a grave
and stately old gentleman of nearly 70
years, was highly pleased at being made
the central figure in such a circuslike
proceeding. He appeared to be. Few
democratic Americans will envy him

to whom the little signature is IN as
surance that the giver had her in her
thoughts from the very inception of the
work.
The effect of monograms on doilies
and centerpieces is very pleasing. They
may be worked in white, harmonizing
colors or tints Of one color. In circular
pieces they should be put in the center.
A square gives more choice Opposition.
Here the work may be put either in the
center. a corner or wen the middle of
one side.
Especially appropriate is the mono

ferred, worked in delft blues. The
hemstitched hens were surrounded by
frills of lace. and the monograms were
placed in the exact centers. The pin
cushion was especially pleasing.
Monogram photograph frames are
very handsome and are made in a varie-
ty of ways The shape and size of the
frame must regulate the monogram and
its position. A frame that had the open
ing in the lower right corner had a
large monogram in the upper left cor
ner. A frame of gray art linen had an
oval opening in the center for the pho
tograph. In the upper left corner was a
pretty conventional design, gracefully
reaching across the top and down the
left side. and the monogram was in the
lower right corner
Covers for books or magazines are

monogram in the center of the front as

useful and welcome gifts to ones
friends. Often the design of a book COW
er may be repeated for its linen envel-
ope. This gives good results.
The monogram cushion is always ct.
fective and may be worked in a variety
of ways. If your best boy friend is a
sailor laddie at Annapolis, he will ap-
preciate a cushion with q. S. N. in a
pretty monogram worked in red, white
and blue on a neutral color. The color
of war vessels in time of wal is good
and appropriate. This may be finished
with a cord of the national colors, with
sailors knots at the corners
The letters q. s.. A. are used on a
cushion of army blue. A rufle of ribbon
woven with little flags is a good finish.
For the college boy there is a varie-
ty of monograms. His own is always
acceptable. His surroundings and pas
times will furnish others.

CREATING A KNIGHT.
MEDIEVAL CEREMONY WHICH WAS
RECENTLY PERFORMED IN DUBLIN.
How h Earl of Lucan Was Made a
knight OF st. Patrick with Much
Pomp AID circumstance-Why He
Was Honored.

WaS
Traditions die hard in Great Britain.
The other day there was held in Dublin
a ceremony which revived all the pomp
of medieval times. The occasion was
the making of Lord Lucan a knight of
ST. Patrick.
Lord Lucan has done nothing more
brilliant in order to deserve the honor
than to be the son of his father, who
was a field marshal and won distinction
in the Crimea.
The English Garter, the Scotch This
tie and the Irish ST. Patrick are the
three most distinguished orders of
kniShthood which exist in the United
Kingdom. 1t is not every day that any
of these orders isconferred, and, accord
ing to custom and in Difference to the
British nobleman's fondness for p~artici-
pating in ancient rites, the occasion is
always made a great show.
Previous to the act of disestablish-
ment the installations were held in st.
Patrick's cathedral, where, above the
several stalls, are still suspended the
helmets and banners of those who held
the order at that period. But the
church has been divorced by the state,
and the ceremony today is purely lay
andis performed in the castle in St.
Patrick's hall. 1t is a noble chamber,
decorated III white and gold, against
which the crimson chair of state stands
out in bold relief, overshadowed by the
six royal standards. From the walls are
suspended ID banners of the knights
created since the eecularizstion of the
order.
At the Earl of Lucan's installation,
just as in days of old, a blare of trum-
pets announced the opening of the
medieval drama, as the Countess Cado-
gan and a train Of ladies, in black and
white, came ia. They took their seats
at each side of the chapter table, which
was prosaically covered in blue cloth
and dotted with blotting pads. Then
the national anthem heralded the pro-
cession Of the viceroy, who was resplend-
ent in the sky blue robes and jeweleG
insignia of the grand master Of the or
der, his flowing mantle held up by two
small pages similarly caparisoned.
