tributed to his grief over his sons
death. The son, Garland, twenty six
years old, served several years over
seas during the war. When his en-

French girl. He said he loved France

LE WITS BUY CHURCH
 FOR QUARTER MILLION
(Continued from First Pags.)

Ultimately, however, MT. Le Witt has announced. the brownstone structure will be raZed to give way to the erec- tion of one of the finest and most elaborate moving picture houses in New England. Lawyer Le Witt has had previous experience in the photo play line. being lessee of the Lyceum theater here for several seasons. The erection of the new building will not be undertaken until market and la Dor conditions are more favorable, the new owners announce.
 Because of the advantageous posi- tion in which the property is situat- ed, Messrs. Le Witt are of the opinion that a high-class photoplay house will be a paying proposition. The three streets which intersect at the door of the church are main arteries of vehic- ular traffic. making it possible to reach the proposed theater from any part of the Capital City with compar- ative ease, it is explained.

LABOR FEELS DEATH
OF CARDINAL GIBBONS

amid scenes of solemn but sorrowful
splendor James Cardinal Gibbons, per-
laps the foremost Catholic Church1nan
in the country, and one of Organized
Labor's chief supporters within or with
out the church and the organization, was
buried at Baltimore last week following
his death several days before. The
Cardinal was in his 86th year and dur
ing practically all his life had been a
warm and devoted friend to the worker
as he was to everyone else with whom
he came in contact.
Cardinal Gibbons served the great
cause cf the worker, zealously and well
and one of his greatest life works out
side his church was to establish the
rights of labor on sound principles of the
moral law, taking into account the value
of labor and the character and dignity
of the worker, declared Archbishop
Glennon of St. Louis, who delivered the
eulogy, and he will go down into history
as one of the three great men of his age,
Pope Leo XIII, and Cardinal Manning
of England being the other two in that
line.
That the worker has the right to COM
bine but not to cOnspire-has a duty
to work honestly and the right to such
remuneration as will make it possible
for him to live as man among his fell
lows with a home where his children may
grow as BELTS children of God, was the
principle of the Cardinal and to his
death he lived up to it. Therefore his
death is as earnestly regretted by Labor
and all workers as it is by those of the
Church for whom he laDOred

MAKES DAINTY PARTY DRESS
French-Biue Chiffon Embroidered
With Silver Beads Develops
Into Winsome Frock.

A sweet and lovely dainty little
party dress may be made of French
blue chiffon embroidered with silver
beads, with a girdle of silver cloth
tied jauntily on the left side in one
smart loop and end. The overskirt
was made with four points, the points
hung a bit below a slip Of white satin.
The design for beading may be carried
out in bugles and round beads, or just
the round beads may be used. By the
way, when beading, be sure to haste
the material very securely over the
paper pattern, and sew the beads on
with backstitches. The stitches should
not be taken through the paper; the
paper serves only to show the design
and to hold the material in place. An
other idea is to use two thicknesses Of
paper, so the design will not become
torn, and in order to have a very firm
foundation on which to work.
