Monday morning the boys left Hart

ternoon the boys tried to play ball but
they we're 'all 10, ais they were not

could neither catch. stop grounder

quit making. The pitchers had.
pitched every other day for fige days,
and they could hardly throw a ball
over the base. This was the first
trip made by the boys and it was
learned that no two pitchersl can

they we're fair and square.
The boys were treated very nicely
by the managers of all the ball teams

played ball all the time and did not
think it was their bounden duty to

TOLD OF EARLY CHURCH
PAPER ON LOCAL PROTESTANT
EPISCOPAL ORGANIZATION.
Read by A. S. Browne Before Columbia
Historical Society at the Shore
ham Last Night.

What was regarded as a valuable contri-
button to the history OF the District was
read before the Columbia Historical Society
at the regular monthly meeting last even
ing in the banquet hall of the Shoreham. II
was a paper prepared by Mr.. Arthur S.
Browne, giving a sketch of the beginnings
of the Protestant Episcopal Church in this
District. The facts were gathered mainly
from manuscript sources, and thus brought
together and printed as the paper viii be in
the records of the society it will furnish
source of information about the early his
tory of the church which hitherto could
only be secured by long and patient re-
search
After brief account of the conditions in
England in the sixteenth century which
had an influence in this country, Mr..
Browne stated that the organization of
what was known as Piscataway parish,
within the bounds of which lay the terri
tory which afterward was taken for the
District. marked the beginning of the
church in this immediate locality In that
parish was built Broad Creek Church lying
about opposite Alexandria. This was In the
year 1888 and an interesting fact was men,
toned. that the meeting TO organize the YES
try of this parish was held in the house of
Mr.. Addison whose descendant more than
one hundred years later became the first
rector of the first Episcopal church organic
cd in Georgetown.
From the Broad Creek Church sprang

were simple straps of shlrred chiffon over
the shoulders. The decolletage was square,
with a very slight point in the center. A
finely woven mesh of smaller pearls with
fancy border in which larger ones appeared
finished the top II the decolletage. This
was al least three inches Deep and formed
very handsome trimming. There was
long narrow pearl ornament at each side
and another In the middle Of this lattice,
from which fell strands of pearls. These
ropes We're arranged to radiate from the
center ornament and they fell over the deep
crushed girdle.
The top of the arm was left bare and the
draped sleeve started on q line with the
top of the corsage There was a narrow
band of pearl trimming and upon this were
shirred two fiounces of lace that made O.
point on the outside of the arm.
Sleeves have certainly become one of IL
not quite the most prominent part OF a
fashionable costume. There never was a
time when SO many styles were worn and
surely never before were such elaborate af-
fairs designed. Many of the evening sleeves
are made with baby puff to the elbow
and then fitted to the arm with band of
handsome embroidery lace or ruching OF
chiffon. Sometimes the latter trimmings
are further embellished with tiny roses of
chiffon or smart little bow knots of baby
velvet ribbon tied into the lace and turned
with the loops standing up and down.
Again the entire puff will be built of
alternating horizontal bands of lace and

this style of trimming is seen on a gown

be much in evidence on the street during
the spring in the evening one sees many
somber costumes. There is always great
dea! of attention paid to the carrying out

The sheen of the satin was too lovely to be
hidden beneath ample decorations, so there
was no break in the line from shirred belt
to the hem. which was finished very simply
with twist of pink satin ribbon in which
loops of chiffon of the same shade were
wound. The bodice was full and shirred
with deep point in front. There were
bows and twists of narrower ribbon on this
and the round decolletage was finished with
a frill of exquisite Brussels lace.

Instead of waning, the fad for pearl dress
trimmings is waxing stronger day by day.
Il was at first considered ultra modish to
have ones entire bodice draped and fes-
TONED with these imitation gems that are
far from inexpensive. Now the skirt must
be trimmed to match the bodice so that
fashionable dinner costume like the one
here shown represents great outlay OF
money on this jewel decoration alone, al
though a really beautiful effect may be OBJ
tanned at a 1.-THE of the cost.
The foundation for the accompanying
gown was plable white satin made rather
simply in order to supply correct back
ground for the elaborate ornamentation.
The only trimming, except the pearls, con-
sisted of three overlapping folds of bias
satin put on the foot of the skirt. There
were incrustations of lace, too, but these
seemed to be a sort of reflection or shadow
of the applied pearl trimming. Long fes-

Startling, But True.

People the world over were
Mortified on learning of the burn
ing of a Chicago theater in which
nearly six hundred people lost
their lives, yet more than five
times this number, or over 5000
people, died from pneumonia in
Chicago during the same year,
with scarcely a passing notice.
Every one Of these cases Of pneu-
monia resulted from a cold and
could have been prevented by
the timely use of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. A great many
who have had every reason to
fear pneumonia have warded it
off by the prompt use OF this
remedy. The following is an in
stance of this sort: "Too much
cannot be said in favor of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and es-
pecially for colds and influenza.

Laura of a severe cold, and I be-
lieve saved her life when she was

The Pelvic Dis
eases of Women

Osteopathy cures the pelvic dis
eases of women.
Perhaps that may seem a pretty
big assertion, but it is true. More
than half of all women suffer
from pelvic diseases and it should
be gratifying to know that these
ailments can be relieved by Oste-
Eopathy.
The wife of the well-known
Senator of Ohio, Joseph Benson
Foraker, after investigating the
results of OSteopathy, said:
IF the founder of Osteopathy
had discovered nothing new but
what he has done for woman, his
name would go down the ages
as the greatest physician of any
age, and one of the historical ben
efactors of the race"
Osteopathy comes as the twen-
tieth century balm of Gilead"
in the manner of its treatment OF
disease. The tOrtures that have
been inflicted upon women in the
treatment of their diseases by the
old methods are as terrifying as
the penalties of the Inquisition.
Burning caustics, faying pessar-
les, fiendish knives-all have been
applied to parts as delicate and
sensitive as the eye, and with a
ruthleSsness which has crushed
the spirit, as we'll as mortified
the flesh.
There is none of this in Osteop-
athy.
Osteopathy protests against
such indignities. Why remove
parts that suffer because they are
congested with impure bloodf
What does congestion meant
Common sense tells any one that
some channel is Obstructed or
else the excess Of blood would
pass away. Rational treatment
seeks out the obstruction and by
some gentle means removes it;
then stimulates all the avenues
leading to and from the part
and cures the condition!
