Mrs. Alice Roosevelt-Longworth was
introduced at the Court of st. James at
the rawing room last week. and Great
ed quite sensation. She wore her
beautiful wedding gown. which is by
way of being one of the plainest and
one of the most elegant gowns ever
fashioned. 1t was remarked that she
wore as Jewels "a simple ribbon of dia-
mOnds about her neck, and her hair
was simply dressed" Now that sounds
exactly like our Alice. She was never
given to wearing many jewels. and al
though she received as wedding pres
ents some of the most magnificent jew
els, diamonds, pearls, turquoiseS and
emeralds. she has never worn but few
of them. Mrs. Longworth was gracious
ly received by the King and Queen. and
later invited into the supper ROOM
where she received especial attention
from the royal couple.
The sundry civil appropriation bill is
the largest in the history OF this Gov
ernment. carrying an approximate total
IF $95,000,060. OF the S95, 900. 900 in
the measure about S25. 900. 900 is for the
continuation of the Panama Canal work
1t was to this provision that an amend
ment was adopted stipulating that the
canal shall be lock canal and that no
part OF the appropriation shall be cx
pended on a sea-level canal The sun
dry civil bill was before the House IL
days.
The English estimate of Mrs. Long
worth is pretty fair considering. Like
her father. Mrs. LongwOrth is a per-
Sonality of no little individuality and
distinction. and consequently. whether
she likes it or not, her movements at
tract good deal of interest and at
tcntion. 1t Is obvious from the first
moment we see her that Mrs. Long
worth is an attractive representative OF
many of the most gracious and charm
.lg traits of American womanhood. Tail

COL ocNE CATHEDRAL.


 TAis suDsrb 0lA Church Is Crun.
 bling anA Will Bs Restored.
 Cologne cathedral. the glory of tn,
 famous Rhenish city, is in really dan
 gsrous state. Recently several piecsl
 of carved stone fell to the street and passsrsby had narrow escapes. Tho
 central portion of the cathedral wal immediately closed. Since then great
 blocks of masonry have fallen away and more serious damage is feared 4 committee of architects was summoned and scaffolding erected. From this the architects made an exhaustive exami. nation and discovered that the masonry of both the chief entrance and the south entrance is loose and has crum. bled to such an extent that the two DOT. tals are in danger of falling. Should this have occurred the damage might have been enormous. The facades have been shored up. and the work of res toration will be at once begun. Rain is believed 10 have hastened the crum- bling, but the architects blame the Ger man Romanesque builders of the thir- teenth century, for the columns are found not to be solid pillars, but plas- ters or piers. Of these at least 400 blocks are found to be loose.
 Cologne cathedral is almost as well known in the United States as in Flu rope. It took over 600 years to com plete, largely because of the neglect and apathy of the Church authorities in the three centuries preceding the nine. teenth century. The cathedral is ac- knowledged to be the finest piece of gothic architecture in the world. There have been modern critics who, while conceding it's beauty and terming 1t a noble and impressive example, still de. clare 1t disappoints because the com pass has been too much for the creative genius. The cathedral stands on the site of a structure that was burned down in the twelfth century.
 In 1249 the present cathedral was be- gun. The choir was finished in 1922, the nave in 1890 and the south tower in HAT. Then came centuries of neg lect. In 1796 the French army used the cathedral to store hay in and also stripped the leaden roofs in order to make bullets.
 In 1923 an attempt was made to reno vate and complete the structure, but little work was done until 1S42. when the work was seriously taken in hand. The final touches were given in 1880. and on Oct 15 of that year the com pletion was celebrated by a service at which the kaiser, William l.. was pres ent. The building has cost over $1O.- 100000. The cathedral is 40 feet long and the famous spires, the highest In the world, are 52S feet. The central portal is 8 feet high and 31 feet wide and the south portal 3s feet high and IS feet wide. These are the two DOT tions at present In imminent danger In shape the cathedral is cruciform basilica. There are two choirs. the eastern dedicated to St. Peter and the western to St. Mary. Surrounding the choirs are eight chapels. A feature of great beauty is an external gallery round the apse.
