daily welcomed to that charge by the peo-
pie OF the congregation last night. John

Rev. w. T. Hammond and John White, sr.
all made short addresses Of welcome. The
new pastor spoke in an entertaining man
ner for a quarter of an hour. He COM
plimented the singing exercises, saying
that they pleased him very much, "for, "
he added, ''the Methodists are noted the
world over for their singing" He loved
to "a among Methodists of the old Wes-
leyaNtype and not the kind Of a Methodist
church he was in some time ago, when he
had to pinch himself now and then to re-
mind him of the fact that he was awake.
In that church they rolled up the altar
and carried It away after services. Hs
did not like to see that. but desired 10 Sc,
the altar at its place all the time.
A general handshaking with the pastor
and his family followed.

WOMAN'S REALM
Up-to-date Things

Thin black gowns made up over white
are for the moment extremely fashionable
and are being made up for informal din
ners and evening entertainments during
the summer. There are many different
materials In favor and fortunately there
is a wide range of price so that il is not
absolutely necessary to buy an exceeding
ly expensive pattern in order to have
smart gown. Embroidered moussline de
sole Is rather newer than lace and the
neck is very beautiful in silk chenille and
embroidered lace medallions. A graceful
wide spread pattern with leaves and vines
that are not too close together is a favorite
design for it gives so much clear space,
as it were, through which the white lining
can show. An all black gown when be-
coming is very becoming. but mousseline
de sole and chiffon are such dull blacks
that it is necessary to put some bright
trimming on to tighten the effect. Bands
Of black painettes with steel or silver or
an irregular effect in paillettes or passe-
menterie, or II even these brighter effects
are not sufficient, a band Of white lace
embroidered in jet or silver The skirt in
circular shape is the most fashionable
land If there are no founces or rufnes or
the skirt itself then on the drop skirt mus
needs be pleatings and ruffies Of chiffor
to hold it out and give the desired flare
which is as all important as ever, although
now it is nearer the hem.

New From Paris

In dresses many new ones are com
ing over from Paris. Pretty snowflake
tweeds In pinky red and Delft blues
are trimmed with bands of silk, which
apparently form part of the material,
but are reslly applique In nearly all
the early models he skirts are pQeated
and shape dat the waist, the fulness
of the skirt sts4ting from this empiece-
ment. There is great elaboration in the
trimmings, which repeat themselves on
the sleeves, often set into a deep turn
back cuff.
Panne with appliques of a coarse yak
made of lace and little color intro
duced is a favorfte form of trimming
but no two gowns seem alike, and il
takes a great deal to make a complete
whole. We shall ere long be wearing
a good deal of white serge trimmed
with panne. An effort is being made
to revive the use of plain glace silk
the flowing skirt divided horizontally
into three bouillonnes, with full cross
cut founce between each. headed by
close st cordings, which congregate be-
low the waist There is a great de-
mand for galoons of all kinds to mlngl'
with the other trimmings, says uh'
Queen.
Gauze is being employed as trim
mings on many gowns OF exactly tn'
same color as the rest OF the dress
forming ruffles; fichus and other ad
dendas. It looked very charming OF
the new Nitas silk, which has WaVe'
hair line in the weaving.

New Dress TRIMMINGS

Heavy lace is taking decidedly con-
snicuous place as the trimming OF many
summer gowns this season. one es-
peeially popular is white Mexican lace
which is being combined very strikingly
with China. and liberty silk of both white
and colors. This lace is very much like
the familiar antique lace, but softer and
perfectly white. II is Of open patterns,
which makes a slip necessary under the
dress If It Is very much trimmed with 1t.
Straw colored antique lace in appliques'
insertions and edge lace are in high favor
for the trimming Of linen and crash shirt
waist suits. OF these the insertions are
by far the most literally used. Very wide
lace OF this style is seen on the newest
suits-some Of the insertions running ten
inches wide.
The vogue of the big, circular, heavy
lace collar is most apparent in the newer
things. These collars are to be had in
Irish crochet, antique Renaissance and
Point de Venice. The Irish crochet is per.
haps the best liked for general use. Many
of the collars are made up with motifs
OF white crash and others are built around
plain linen or heavy silk. The proper
tions of some Of these modish collars ap
proach almost to the size Of small capes
Automobile coats for summer use, made
Of linen or pongee. are trimmed elaborate
ly with wide insertions Of heavy antique
lace. This is applied vertically.
Even underclothing is showing the ten
dency toward heavy lace as a trimming
torchon lace being a favorite for all lac
trimmed articles of lawn and cambric wea
for the coming season.
