= auspices Of the several ladies inter-
n .tad in church work, and who because
their special interest in st. Michaels
av Nursery and Hospital for Babies,
adj sought to turn the appetites OF
Il cir lords and masters to advantage.
They had said in substance: NOW,
nee YOU gentlemen must eat, instead
EMPLOYING a caterer to ruin your d.
81 .stion. let us get you up a dinner, and
G will devote the profits to a noble
arity."
& IL was done, and it is safe to as
s me that hereafter the gentlemen CT

Memories of that curacao punch are
kelv ito linger until the next dinner,
s nd the salad was pronounced a poem

oIeman referred in complimentary
,rms to the two dioceses which wer'
spresented at dinner by distinguished
lymen-the diOceses of Maryland ant
lew York. He referred to the fact tina
ne of the most distinguished clergy
ZEN of the latter, the Rev. Charlie
ngIis. had gone from a little woode'
hurch near Milford about 1850 to be
ONE the rector Of Trinity Church, Ne'

harities near to his heart.
There was general regret at the an
n ouncement that owing to illness
,ishop-Coadjutor Mackay-Smith,
philadelphia, could not be present, an
next speaker, Joseph Packar'
vi d.. of Baltimore. was introduced. II
roved to be delightful speaker, in
enfectly simple manner relating strii
ng incidents both whimsical and ser

he fact that Just after the war Mar,

His theme was greater catholici
mong protesting Christians, and d
Jared that toleration is the poi
round which all-PrOtestants al

riders of other churches, and his
marks throughout breathed a spirit
nifty and sterling good sense.

therefore, both should be kept will
reasonable bounds.
Then he told the tale of Esau-po

mark was fully Understood, and
storm of applause indicated that
