Plan on Foot to Republish
Johnston's History, Supple
mented with Many Inter-
esting Features

In response to repeated and ur-
gent requests from Cecil Countians
residing at home and in distant
states, | have decided to republish
Johnston s History of Cecil Coun-
ty, Maryland; provided sufficient
support and interest can be found
manifested to insure the success Of
the project.
The intention is to supplement
the Johnston Edition, in order that
it may include the history of the
county up to the present time, and
embrace other facts of local I'M
portance, pertaining to family re-
cords, development in its various
fields, ct cetera, with required IL
lustrations in order that the great
advantages and attractiveness of
this favored section may be widely
understood and appreciated.
In other words, to issue publi-
cation in proper form and substan-
tial binding, treating the past, pre-
sent and future Of Cecil County. A
work of the highest character that
will be Of material benefit in every
wav.
The support of the citizens at
large is therefore necessary, and all
interested are requested to cores
pond with the undersigned immed-
lately, as it is hoped to start the
preparatory work without delay.
The contents will be passed upon
by an Editorial Board, consisting
of prominent citizens, chosen be-
cause of their qualification for the
task. Accordingly the work will be
treated as a solemn trust, broad
minded and fair, free from any in
dividual mark of prejudice. The
aim will be to render justice not
favoritism.

FLOWERS THAT MATCH FR0CK
One Of the Prettiest Fancies Of Many
Seasons is the Adornment
Thus Effected.

What n real pleasure women missed
when they were too prim TO tuck a
byuch OF flowers into their frocks, or
too fearful lest the stalks should stain
their pretty raiment.
Nowadays flowers are the finishing
touch of every toilette. and some wom-
en- give orders to their florists or their
gardeners for bouquet twice or thrice
a day to match the gowns they intend
20 wear.
In the evening 1t is usual to wear a
single and very exquisite blossom, the
work of human hands. A giant rose, a
mammoth poppy, an orchid-all are
popular. Strange fantasies In mater
ial are employed; here a lace flower
tipped with fur. and there one made OF
hand painted mousseline, a marvellous
copy OF natures own handlwork.

Apply lemon juice or ripe tomato to
any discolorations that may appear,
and unless the pores are enlarged,
use old cream freely.
Alcohol will harden the flesh. AS

some that are harmless, except insofar

| MUST BE HAND EMBROIDERED
The Proper Thing for Both White and
Colored Linen Parasols-Wlde
Variety Of Designs.

White and colored linen parasols
show hand embroidery. They are
mounted with ivory or bone handles
and tips or with light natural or pol
ished wood handles and brass-pointed
tips. Some of them are finished about
the edge with fringe. some with plain
hem and some with an embroidered
scallop. A wide variety of designs Is
shown in embroidered parasols. Satin
stitch, eyelet work and outlining are
used in combination to produce both
ornate and simple effects. Almost all
parasols are made with eight panels,
and half a dozen skeins of cotton are
needed for embroidering each panel
with a design OF moderate size; five
or six dozen skeins, therefore. would
be sufficient for any parasol. The big
department stores make up the en-
broidered panels into parasols and sell
sticks and frames.

OLD BOSTON CHAPEL
History of First Catholic Gene
terry in New England.
Burial Of Mgr. Denis o'caIlashan In
South Boston Reveals Facts Con-
eerning Quaint Little Structure
Erected Nearly Century.

Boston-With the disbanding OF the
cortege, numbering thousands. which
escorted the remains OF Mgr. Denis
O'Callaghan, South Boston's beloved
priest, 70 their last resting place with
in the walls of St. Augustine's chapel,
few days ago, the strange fact de-
veloped, through fragments Of conver-
sation overheard here and there, that
but few OF all the throng had ever
before heard OF the quaint little brick
structure on Dorchester street. South
Boston, or OF the little cemetery
which lies around IL.
Yet that little chapel and it's ceme-
terry are possessed OF deep historic
interest TO New England Catholics, for
the cemetery was the first New Eng
land soil consecrated to the burial
OF Catholics exclusively, and within
the walls OF the chapel rest the ashes
Of many Of the pioneers among the
priests OF what is now the archdio-
cese of Boston.
Nearly century ago, in 1918 to be
exact, st. Augustine's cemetery was
established. It's setting aside was
due TO the sentimental regard OF Bish-
op John Cheverus, the first Catholic
bishop Of Boston, for the compatriot
and cO-worker, FIR Francis Anthony
Matignon, who had been a priest in
Boston for more than a quarter of a
century. FIR. Matignon was sent to
this city in 1892 10 administer TO the
spiritual needs of the then relative
ly small Catholic colony, and four
years later, finding the field of his en-
deavors growing constantly, he sent
to France and induced Fr. Cheverus
to join him in the work. When the
authorities at Rome decided to raise
Boston TO a bishopric it was intended
to promote Fr. Martignon, but he pre-
vailed upon them to confer the honor
on FIR. Cheverus instead.
When FIR. MartignOn died, in 1918,
there was no Catholic burying ground
in this section, and the body was laid
in the family tomb Of John Magner,
in the Old Granary burying ground.
Resolved that his longtime friend
and co-worker should rest in conse-
Grated soil, with a fitting monument,
Bishop Cheverus decided upon the
requisition of a Catholic burying
ground and the erection of a chapel
in il.
Whether a suitable location could
not be secured within the then mar
row limits of the city or whether the
purchase Of city property was beyond

the means of the small Catholic COM
munity is not know known, but the re-
suit of the bishops quest was the pur
chase of a small plot of farming land
on the outskirts of South Boston, then
a separate town. Here st. August
ines chapel building, by 80 feet in
floor dimension, was erected, and to
it was transferred the body of Fr. Mat
ignon, which rests in a sepulchre at
the right OF the little altar, marked
by a tablet
Soon after the chapel was finished
the scattered Catholics of Mattapan,
Milton, Quincy, Dedham and places
further remote, petitioned the bishop
for the privilege OF attending services
in it. and the petition was granted
In 1888 the chapel was enlarged TO a
seating capacity of $50.
By 1S45 the migration OF Catholics
from the Fort Hill section Of Boston
to South Boston served TO overtax
the capacity of the chapel, and its
use as place OF worship was discon.

aging the new church in 1S4S, the
chapel was again used for few
months. From then until 1865 IL was
used only for memorial masses. In
that year II was made to serve as the
nucleus OF the newly created ST. Aug
ustine's parish, TO which Fr. O'Cal-
laghan was assigned as pastor. Since
1871 the only service held in the chap
