TO escape from the embroidery idea.
Whether it is carried out in coarse
wool, in heavy SIX or in beads.
Among the latest accessories that are
reported from abroad are neck scarfs
Of ribbon, the ends embroidered with
beads and finished with bead fringe.
Black taffeta ribbon is embroidered
with steel beads and with colored
beads a9d there are various ways in,
which the idea is utilized. SO many
women like to make pretty triffles Of the
sort during the summer to use Is holi-
day souvenirs, that the suggestion
may be worth considering at this time.
Little conventionalized flowers en-
broidered with beads that have been
referred to in previous letters can be
turned to excellent account in the
making Of these trihles and Of various
other pretty little accessories. Ribbon
Of any color that will serve as back
ground with single flower embroid-
cred on each end and with fringe Of
the beads would make a most effective
tie. A girdle Of little wider ribbon
to match would make good effect and
rrowgirdles are being so extensively
used that the idea is essentially a
practical one, and the work is very
simple. All sorts Of good transfer
patterns can be purchased and by
transferring to thin tissue in place OF
the material and working through the
tissue onto the ribbon. then tearing
the paper away, perfect effect can be
obtained There are no transfer lines
on the material to be seen between the
beads and the work is quite as easy to
do through the tissue as without it.
Not alone Is embroidery and work Of
various sorts exceedingly fashionable,
simple crochet is being put to a great

very handsome wrist bag is of heavy

familiar in the making Of neckties.
The simple little straight bag is drawn
together at the bottom to fit a rather
small circular disc Of the silk and is
sewed with the heavy silk made Of all
the colors used in the stripes. Women
who are familiar with crochet work
will recognize Now simple this bag is to
make, 1t is drAwn up by cord through
rings that are cAyered with the crochet
and sewed to Il Z outside Of the bag.

Wool Jersey is a Satisfactory Fabric

which really is a revival, is our old
friend alpaca. It il made into ex-
ceedingly smart tailored suits and it is
as lustrous and as handsome as it was
when it was in vogue years ago. 1t
makes most satisfactory costumes for
travelling, for motoring and the like
for it sheds dust and it is light Of weight.
Avery smart one, that is typical of the
way the material is handled by the
best designers is made with per-
fectly plain f1aring skirt and with
fitted coat that flares moderately over
the hips. This coat is held by three
buttons and buttonholes at the waist
line and is finished with collar that
can be rolled open or turned up about
the throat. The stitching on the coat
makes its only trimming. A suit Of
wool jersey is in dark, but not navy.
blue, with a jacket in Russian STYLE
finished with a high military collar and
both the collar and belt are finished
with embroidery in beige color. A
second costume is again in Russian
blouse style but with an open neck
and has pretty embroidery OF the same
shade on the collar and pockets. II
the late summer establishes the vogue
for wool jersey and for alpaca we will
have at least two sefviceable and salts
factory materials for between seasons
wear.
The newest separate blouses are in
teresting for many reasons. A pretty
one is made of pink taffeta embroidered
in gold and silver. 1t is of course
designed for dressy costume, but it is
extended to form its own peplum and
is finished with a half low round neck
and circular collar. The belt is really
narrow bit Of ribbon with a bow
and the sleeves are finished with ribbon
bands and bows above the haring cuffs.
Designers have been forced to realize
that women will not give up the sepa-
rate blouse. Simple frocks are very
charming; they have their place and
we all like them, but the blouse is
satisfactory garment, it deserves a
permanent place and permanent
place is demanded for it. From the
house of Paquin are coming some pretty
ones made OF a very pale colored
linen with groups of little tucks as
finish, and full plaitings Of the ma
terial at the neck and wrists that are
held in place by bands of black velvet
ribbon. IA matter of course, the
ribbon is Of the soft pliable handker-
chief sort. White blouses of tulle
and of net and of the two materials
combined are worn and are very
charming. A very pretty one COM
bines the tulle with crepe and is
trimmed with white soutache. There
is a blouse for every occasion, for every
hour Of the day it would seem, and
embroidery appears upon almost every
one. As has been stated in previous
letters, the shortage of trimming con-
tinues. All kinds OF needlework are
in vogue, and braid trimmings are
being extensively used and will be.
There is some embroidery finish to be
found upon the blouses of morning
wear as we'll as upon those Of afternoon
occasions A tennis blouse is, for
example, OF white pongee with sailor
collar and cuffs embroidered with
tennis rackets in brigh. red. A very
handsome afternoon blouse Of pink

the newly formed diocese OF Whining
ton. The first vicar-general OF the
new diocese was the Rev. Patrick
Reilly. Later the Rev. Thomas A.
Becker was made the FIRST Bishop Of
Wilmington.
in 1905 the church building was re-
modelled and renovated under Bishop
Monaghan and the building was re-
dedicated on October 90, 1905. Yet
the original brick structure built By
Father Kenny Is still Incorporated in
the present building. Some sugges-
tons have been made as 10 the tear
ing down Of the old building and
bu lding a larger and finer structure
as seemed fitting the dignity Of
cathedral. This proposal has always
found many antagonists because Of
the fact that the historical signif-
canoe of the building as wei as the
memory Of the many priests who have
labored for the benefit Of the par
ish and diocese in this building. An
oLilSI laCL utullOutu IN THIS tpAlicb-
ton is that the church as it now
stands is free Of debt. mortgage ana
bonds Of any description.
One Of the first things done in con-
nection with the formation OF the par
ish was the founding OF an orphans
home.
This orphanage was maintained by
the Sisters Of Charity, who had been
brought to Wilmington in 1880.
A short resume OF the history Of
the Cathedral would not be complete
without some mention OF the Right
Rev. Monslgnor John A. Lyons. V.
G.. who 1abored there for as years of
his life, with the exception of only a
few years, he spent in ministering
to the spiritual wants Of the people OF
Elkton, Nd, and Newark. Del. He
was the first priest ordained in the
/ Diocese OF Wilmington, his ordination
/ taking place in 1870. In 1887 he was
made vicar-general and in 1911 was
raised to the dignity Of the domestic
prelate.
