after it in much the same way they

held at Grace Episcopal church sun
day evening, when the electric lights
which were installed during the va

and were used for the first time
The edifice was darkened at the be-
ginning of the service but after the
beautiful prayer of conservation
every light was flashed on and every
nook and corner was agleam with
brightness. Miss Dorothy Howell

which, in their snowy purity, added
the complete touch to the beautiful
service.
