upon the same theme, sometimes
making 1t a scale and other times a
fantasia.
The peasant of Brittany wears a
tight little bodice laced in front for
security and convenience; a French
designer takes 1t and turns 1t into a
fantasia Of exquisite velvet, bits OF
jewelled trimming and satin facets.

man and his congregation greatly en-
deared themselves to our people and
placed us under lasting obligation to

and offering for the day was very
good. There was one addition to the
