According to a churchman we'll

to come before the conference. They
are the election of two new bishops, a
matter which will probably come up
during the last week OF the confer

committee on publishing interest, to
investigate into the advisability Of

New Trimmings.

What strikes one most forcibly Nthe new Spring Dress Trim mings is the detailed beauty of the things--lots of spangled jets to be sure which doesn't sound particu- larly new, but they are so beauti- fully wrought, some on gauge and velvet, that you'll believe when you come to see, that we've never really had spangIed jet before.
 Then there are such lot of fine little things; the kind of things delft fingers are going to pick out as a final touch to the dainty collar with out which no fine gown is com plete.
 Serpentine Braids, in both black and white, new very effective weave, are going to be high in fla vor for trimming skirts.
 Stitched Satin ard Moire Bands and Folds, all ready, made to sew right on, isn't that nice?
 Applique things in colors deli cately beautiful beyond descrip- ton, too lovely far to be called ap- pliques. They're as beautiful in effect as are those Oriental Embrol- deries that you buy simply to stand before and admire and pick up occasionally to gloat over.
 This is but a feeble hint of what is really here.
