REBECCA AT THE WE'LL
RECENT EXCAVATIONS IN aEzER
TELL HEB STORY.
Special cablegram, to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star
CAIRO. July 14.-Reports received here OF
the work of the Palestine exploration fund
show that Mr.. r. A. Stewart Macalister,
director of excavations, is accomplishing
wonders with the limited means at his
command Perhaps the most remarkable
discoveries have to do with Rebecca's WOO
Ing and Samson's death.
The site of the ancient and buried city
Of Gezer, where most Of the researches
have been made. was first identified only
thirty-six years back, but Its excavation IN
the most recent enterprise. begun in 1902.
The excavations have added l.5O0 years
to the early history of Gezer, dating It back
to 5000 B. c.. when diminutive cave
dwelling race lived there. A landmark in
it's biblical history is that the city was
given by the King of Egypt to his daughter
when she married Solomon. 1t stood ON the
verge of the territory inhabfted w that
mysterious race the Philistines. and when
David routed them he went In pursuit as
far as Gezer.
Rebecca, who went to draw water from a
well, was picked out from other maidens
by the servant of Abraham, who was in
quest of wife for his masters son. The
unearthing of houses at Gezer helps experts
to fill in the story of the wooing OF Rebecca
by reconstructing the home OF the maiden
and her interesting brother Lanan
The death of Samson has been ranked as
a myth of critics who could not accept the
possibility of his supposed achievement in
pulling down the pillars and killing SO
many Philistines But in stratum at
Gezer, some 800 years older than the time
of Samson the excavators have found a
form of building which answers to re-
markable extent the conditions of the story.
It is temple with portico supported by
four wooden pillars.
The discoveries at Gezer also enable ex-
perts to form a fair conception of the Hor-
ites a hitherto unknown race OF cave
jewellers referred to in Genesis and Deuter-
onomy The Amortes, who are mentioned
for their .iniauities'' in Genesis, now stand
in clearer light for their many forms OF
idolatry and moral denominations are better
understood by the digging out Of the high
place of Gezer, which is the largest early
Palestinian sanctuary or place of worship
yet unearthed.

MAUD'S BIB ANDTUCKER
NoRwAY's QUEENS CORONATION
DRESS A PERFECT DREAM.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

| Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, July 14-American women
will be interested in knowing something
about the coronation dress of Queen Maud
of Norway. The dress itself. in accordance
with Norwegian custom, was embroidered
In that country, but was sent to London 70
receive its final touches as to cut and finish
at the hands of vernon's of Sloane street.
The material of the dress was the richest
cloth of gold, but woven after manner
that gave 1t the softest and most simmer
ing effect. II was, in fact. sumptuous
golden surface, upon pure white satin
foundation, and the folds thus gained most
beautiful and almost opalescent light and
shade. In form 1t was en- princesse, fitting
the figure like glove. The embroidery
was composed Of diamonds pearls and sill
YER, forming a beautiful festooned design
in roses and scrolls at the foot of the skirt
and all round the train, which lay about
yard and half upon the ground, being
lined with ruches of soft white satin. From
the front of the skirt the embroidery was
carried upwards in tapering lines which
was exceedingly becoming to the figure.
The decolletage was softened by slight
folds of white tulle, but the front of the
bodice is left plain, as 1t was entirely cog-
cred with the magnificent jewels. Very fine
lace formed the sleeves, and this was close
ly strewn with diamonds and seed pearls.
Two manteaux de cours were worn In the
course of the ceremony. Prior to her
browning Queen Maud entered the cathe-
dTal with long state mantle OF crimson
velvet, lined and bordered deeply with err
mine and strewn with the coronets of Il
princess worked in gold. This was cast off
when she rose to move toward the altar
for the crown to be placed on her head and
the full beauty of the dress and train were
then seen. Subsequently, when the act of
coronation had been performed, she as
sumed another mantle similar to the first
only that it bore the crown of the queen.
As these NANTES were of great weight,
special arrangements were made to keep
them in position upon the shoulders. and
they fastened in front with a magnificent
agrafe.
Sea weed is being put to many pretty uses
this season. Artificial punches of it pro-
vide trimmings Cor hats, falling in masses
of feathery fronds over the brim at the
back, or in tine form of a tufted wreath
fected are cool and becoming, and range
from the palest brown to a deep pink.
But not only is imitation weed of
ornamental utility. The real weed is being
employed as the decoration of q parasol,
which is the latest novelty in its way.
Lovely pale coral pink weed is chosen in
terspersed with sprays of the tawny shaded
specimen and others that are as green as
the sea-
gum and embroidery stitches, the weed is
applied to a background of fine biscuit or
pastel-tinted gauze, and then an outer lay
er of gauZe Is placed over 1t that the
weed is enshrined.
The idea comes from the east and
pagoda shaped sunshade is, therefore, very
aptly chosen for the expression of the idea.
