ducts Service at All Souls.

With simple and impressive ceremony
the new building Of the All Souls Me-
mortal Episcopal Church at Cathedral
and Connecticut aY<hues northwest was
conducted by Rt. Rev. Dr. Charles p.
Williams. bishop Of Michigan.
The great memorial organ, which was
installed under the direction of H H.

A Skirt that Is "the Limit. p"

It's for evening.
And it is very odd.
The left side is trouser.
The right side is simply a skirt
The right leg is a modest member.
The left one shows nearly up to the

This left side of the skirt is gathered
round the ankle.
But in stepping it runs up a bit above
the ankle.
To complicate matters there's a funny
little train at the back.

questions TO come up before the VIII

of the Wilmington Conference with
the Philadelphia Conference, from
which it was taken forty-seven years

last session at Berlin, Md, and deci-

Sentiment for the merger is said TO
exist mainly in Wilmington and the
upper territory OF the conference,

and Virginia and the lower Delaware
are counted against It,
