Historic Church Restored.

A religious ceremony has just boer
performed in remarkable church ir
the heart of Milton Abbey Woods, Dor
set, England. The little church was
erected there in the year 93S by King
Athelstan and dedicated to st. Cath
crime, and until the reformation was
regularly used by the monks of Mil
ton. Thereafter it fell into disuse
and in process Of time into desecra
ton. In turn it was utilized as 6
pigeon-house, as laborer's cottage
as carpenters shop and as lumber
store, and was rapidly falling into de
cay when Everard Hambro, the lord
Of the manor, resolved to restore it
The restoration was completed about
week ago, but has been so reverent
ly done that most of the old Saxon
Norman and perpendicular work il
contained remains intact, and an in
cised Indulgence" inscription on its
south door has been perfectly pre-
served.

About EARRINGS.

No matter what very many think OF
the piercing of the ear and decorating
it with the earring, the earring is en-
evidence. 1t is at times made to ex-
plot a single pearl At others 1t IS
loaded down with a gypsylike burden
which was sartorial feature OF
Queen Victoria's reign.
Now a fair one has appeared in ear
rings which look exactly like link but
tons. These particular earrings are
of turquoises, two stones to an ear.
They are exactly like those some men
wear in their cuffs. In this case one
of the stones rests fiat on the ear
and the other droops bit. Each
is edged with rim of gold. Whether
this be the mere fad Of one individual
the earrings in question may have
associations-or coming fashion is
not as yet clear.

Popular Crepe de Chine.


The way that fashionable folk have
adopted the crepe de chine craze is
really something to marvel at, One
sees it in the smartest Of shirtwaist
suits for morning wear, with the skirt
that clears the ground and just shows
the tip of the shiny black leather
shoe. One sees it in the more elabo-
rate luncheon AID afternoon frocks,
where frills and laces are called upon
to add to the dressy effect. And ono
sees it in all of the newest tones, In
the novel coral and geranium pinks,
the new almond, olive, and bronze
green; in the shot, the printed, and
the damasse effects for the nandsom-
est of dinner and ball gowns; and
then there is wealth of elaboration,
hand embroideries, real laces, en-
placements that glisten with tiny
spangles and mock jewels, and with
empire sashes of chiffon and ACE that
bring out the dull luster Of the crepe
to perfection. For any and all &C.
casions the crepe de chine gown IS
the correct thing; the only thing to
know is how to fashion it to meet the
special requirements Of each. And
this is what the smart girl prides her
self that she can do, with the result
that she presents distinguished ap-
pearance in every gown of her crepe
de chine repertoire.
