Beverly, Mass. - The Unitarian
church OF Beverly Is located on Cabot
street In the central part Of the city.
For some years the parish was con
nected with Salem.
In the winter of 1865 the people of
the Beverly parish sent a petition to
the Salem people stating that they
wished to form parish Of their own
in Beverly and to erect house Of
worship. The petition was received.
1t was signed by Roger Conant and
46 other church members.
On July 4. 1867. the subject of the
petition was again considered and
unanimous consent was given. Aug. 2s
of tho same year Mr.. Hale accepted a
call, and on Sept. 81 he was ordained
Previous to the ordination exercises
the church was organized.
The following provision was made
by the society for DR.. Hale's support.
His salary was to be R70 year with
80 cords of flrewood. 1t was further
agdeed that he should have the use
of new house, two acres of land to
be fenced in, as much meadow as
bore about four loads of hay and the
benefit OF the pasturing during the
time that he remained with them in
the ministry.
In 1890 Mr.. Hale was invited by the
general court to Join the expedition
against Canada as chaplain. This was
strongly objected to on the part of
the parish. but the objection did not
seem to have weight and he went

The first meeting house was built
in 1856, near the site of the present
vestry. The second meeting house
was built in 1852. on the site of the
present church. The house was used
for the transaction of public business,

storage of the powder.
In 1855 the population of the parish
was about 1,700 souls. and 1t became
apparent that larger edifice was
needed. but 1t was not until 1910 that
the old house was taken down to
make room for new one. The new
house was built, and in 1875 1t was en-
larged. In 1885 1t was again enlarged
at cost of $4,000. the whole struc-
ture being taken down with the ex-
ception of the stout ouken frame, and
rebuilt In Its present form. The
church still stands and is in first-class

HATS ON THE FREAK ORDER
Millinery Of the Moment May Be De-
scrIbed as Fearful and
Wonderful.

The millinery of the moment can
only be described as freakish, for sure
ly never before was the head of wom-
an covered with such incongruities.
Not content with Stimulating the ap-
pearance of mushrooms, sugar loaves
and variegated birds nests, the latest
hat is the aeroplane, with large out
standing wings adorning the back of
the hat and set at the jauntiest angle
imaginable
The reign of the winged hat, sober
ly and decorously adorned with wings
covering the crown and part of the
brim, is apparently over. for the wings
must be made freakish to look smart,
so following on the aeroplane hat we
have the hat which can only be de-
scribed as winged Mercury, with two
seductive looking wings planted at the
back of the crown of large black hat.
shaped exactly like the wings which
adorn the ankles of the famous Mer-
curry statue.
There Is no accounting for taste,
for even If woman knows she does
not look well in a hat pulled down over
her eyes until half her face Is hidden,
that hat she will wear because it is
the fashion.
One of the most startling millinery
freaks seen was a blue velvet toque
which can best be described as a be-
dizened sugar loaf
The cone part of this sugar loaf
toque was of Wedgwood blue velvet.
while deep band of steel embroidered
lace formed the lower part. and hang
ing from this was tiny fringe of steel
beads which would adorn the forehead
Salomewise. The toque. 1t should be
added completely covered all signs Of
hair and hid the wearer's left eye en-
urely.
Other toQues of the moment have
crowns ascending skywards. So high
and 80 full are these velvet crowns
rising from a band OF bizarre en-
broidery that they give top-heavy
appearance to the unfortunate wearer.
