they require such frequent laundering.

A fan bag in white satin was a we'd

design was a spray of myrtle with half

ribbon confined three plumes. which

RUINS OF CARMELITE HOME
Old Monastery in Mexico Dedicated
Before the Pilgrims Landed on
Plymouth Rock.

The suburban town of San Angel, at
the base of the foothills, three-quarters
of an hour from the capital by electric
car, is every year becoming more fash
ionable as a summer resort, and every
year, as modern conveniences and bet
ter houses are provided in the outlying
districts, more people take up their

To the casual visitor to San Angel the
most interesting feature is the hand
some old church of Nuestra sonora del
Carmen. Its triple domes, with their
tiles shining brightly in the sunlight,
are the first objects that arrest the at
tention of strangers approaching the
town. Its Carmelite bell tower, or cam
panario, is distinctive. and the edifice
is one of the handsomest ecclesiastical
monuments in all Mexico. 1t was dedi-

died of disease during the war of the
North American invasion, when the
adjoining monastery of the Carmelite
fathers was converted into a military
hospital and barracks, the good fathers
nursing the wounded Americans with
such Christian devotion and good will
that when the troops evacuated San
Angel monks and soldiers fell on one
another's necks and wept. .
Janvier speaks of San Angels church
as follows:
"In the year 1913 Don Felipe De Guz-

in fulfillment of his fathers testament,

That this reputation was well meriteG
is shown by the beauty of his still ex.

Iron Sands of Java.

A curious sight on the coast of Java is
a long stretch of shore, about 20 miles
in length, where the sand is filled with
particles of magnetic iron. In some
places it is said that the surface sand
contains 80 per cent, of iron. 1t can be
smelted, and a company has beer
formed to exploit the deposits.

Hunting Easter Eggs in Germany

Easter is a very important day in Ger
many. 1t is looked forward to by the
children with almost as much pleasure
as Christmas. After breakfast the hunt
ing for eggs begins and it generally takes
a long time to find them, for hares are
shy little creatures, and the nests are
always hidden away in the queerest
places.
The children usually find the eggs in
pretty baskets or boxes and sometimes
they will come upon a beautiful white
sugar hare, sitting on a messy nest filed
with colored eggs.-Union Signal.

METHODIST
No Change in Rules Against Dancing
Card Playing, Etc.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 17.-Action
on two important matters was taken
by the general conference of the Meth
odist church at to-day's session. The
report of the committee on ~episcopacy,
recommending that the conference
elect eight bishops to fill vacancies
caused bv death. resignation and re-
tirement during the present Quadren-
mum was adopted.
At the close of a heated and re-
markable debate between Dr. James
NJ. Buckley and DR.. Thomas B. Nicely,
the two foremost parliamentarians of
the Methodist church, the conference
adopted the report of the special ju-
dietary committee, which finds that
the conference has no executive au-
thoritv to district the ep~iscopacy: that
is, to substitute a diocesan for the
present itinerant form of the residency
m administration of bishops.
The committee on state of the
church., having in charge the consider
alton of the proposed change of the
rules in regard to dancing, card
playing and theatre-going, has de-
cided by a vote of 55 to As against
recommending any change. A minor
ity report presented by members OF
the committee who favor more liberal
construction of these rules, was offer
ed. 1t is expected h submission OF
these two representatives to the gen.
eral body will be the signal for the
most spirited struggle of the present
conference.

delegates, So of whom were contested
by the opposition. 7
The convention of the anti-thlrd
