pearance in the shops. But this sea

gees and marquisettes, and its popu-

ever 1t had become, in a way, a
somewhat difficult material to handle.
So few trimmings were really we'll
adapted to 1t and almost every one fell
back on the time.worn combination OF
foulard and lace ad nauseam. Now
however, the bordure redeems the sit
uation. Many of the foulards have
three and four-inch bands. Persian In
design and Oriental in coloring, that
constitute a trimming in themselves.
In fact, / am very glad to find that the
bordures are being shown in all sorts
of spring and summer materials be-
sides the silks and pongees. The cot
ton voiles and veilings are particular
ly attractive and fresh-looking with
white grounds showing small sprigs,
dots or buds with a pretty border to

Episcopal Cathedrals Open Air Altar

from Mrs. Percy r. Pyne, and in 1t
have been gathered memorials of the
Church of England, the Church in the
Wilderness and the Church Of Mount
Zion. The remains of Henry Y. Sat-
terlee, first bishop of Washington,
rest under the floor of this chapel.
This altar and sun dial is called a
landmark" and was given by Mrs.
Julia James to commemorate the free
dom of the cathedral lands from debt
and the consequent hallowing of the
close. The altar is also somewhat of
a genealogical monument of the donor,
in the several panels around the sides
of the marble piece being inscribed a
large number of names, with the dates
of birth, marriage and death, and the
names of to whom married and the
names of children begotten.
There is no telling when the cathe-
dral will be built, but the building
fund is growing, and the foundation
stone of the cathedral was laid with
an imposing and monster ceremony
September 20, 1907. On that occasion
addresses were delivered by President
Roosevelt and the bishop of London.
There were present 60 bishops, 200
members of the general convention
of the Episcopal church and about U.s.
600 laymen. The foundation stone was
brought from Bethlehem.

ment He showed his register of auto
graphs to a congressional visitor who
had dropped In to have his corns
pared and treated.
The establishment started a short
time before the death of Lincoln and
among the early signatures in the
book was an unquestionably authentic
one of the emancipation, who, accord
ing to the proprietor of the place, was
quite regular attendant in the effort
TO have his corns suppressed.
He once told the chiropodst--who
in those days didn't have Latin
name, but was called a corn special
ist--that his corns made him almost
as much trouble as congress-" a SEN
timent which ex-President Roosevelt
might have echoed, but he never did
because he didn't have any corns. and
was. in fact, declared to be the only
president since Lincoln who hasn't
been patron of this establishment.
Anyhow, the register contains the
autographs of Johnson, Grant Hayes.
Arthur, Cleveland. Harrison and Nc
Kinley. Garfield wasn't president long
enough 10 develop corns, though the
expert opines that at the rate he was
kicking people out during the short
time he served as president. he would

The sketch of Mr.. Jones says he
was married to Minda Nelson at En-
field, ILL.,, in the fall of 1886, and what

arate constitutional amendments that

Missouri relates that several times
he called the attention of congress to
the manner of weighing mails; con-
gress finally revised the method,
whereby it is estimated that saving
of $10000,000 year was affected"
An interesting figure in the house
I is Delegate Cameron of Arizona, Re-
publican. He defeated veteran Mark
Smith last fall, whereupon the story
went the rounds that this result was a
part of scheme to secure statehood
-allaying the Republican opposition
by the idea that two Republican sena-
tors would be chosen by the new
state. But Mr.. Cameron has better
claim to fame than any based on poll
tics. He located and built the Bright

of Colorado and still maintains it..
The baby of the house is Palitte
Elvins of Missouri, who was sworn in
on the day on which he completed his
thirty-first year.
Secretary Dickinson of the war de-
partment makes no reference to his
politics in the sketch of himself. The
one political fact stated in Secretary
MacVeagh's biography is that he was

Another Fake Nailed.

The manager of big ostrich farm
in South Africa, now visiting relatives
in New Jersey, declared to me the
other day: I'm all my experience with
these birds / have never seen one in
the act of burying its head in the
sand. That familiar old story is a
fake, pure and simple" In some of
the school books are pictures of the
ostrich hunt, men racing wildly on
horseback after the plumed bipeds.
and such of the latter as are in danger
of being run down are depicted with
their heads in the earth. Millions Of
us were educated in the belief that
the ostrich really acted in this man
ner, and remained perfectly still while
it's richest plumes were being extract

ITS the "possum cabinet now" with

The wit who invented that phrase,
after President Taft's exploits in the
south made the southern tree-climber
a sort of national emblem, has re-
ceived the backing of Webster on top
of that of newspaper photographers.
A Washington man who has time
on his hands looked in the dictionary the
other day, and his eye fell upon the
word "philander." The meaning given
was "a South American opossum. "
