ideally TO decoration, was transform
ed, under the artistic touch of Mrs.

a bower of loveliness. The chancel,
covered in white, had as back
ground tall pyramid of palms and
ferns with graduated white pedes-
tails crowned with many branching
silver candelabra burning white ta-
pers and looped together with fes-
toons of airy tulle, while nesting
among the green were quantities of
bright eyed daisies. A stately palm
graced the center of The choir loft,
and the railing on which cleaned
numbers of colonial candles, was
draped in white with traceries Of
southern smilax.

beautiful program of organ music
composed of the following numbers:
