Supcrintenaent Parish House Sapper- The supper given at the Parish House last Saturday evening by St. Margaiet's Guild was a record breaker, the attendance being the largest of auy similar occasion ever held there. The proceeds were about one hundred dollars, and ex penses about twenty dollars, leav ing as the net results, eighty dollars. Mrs. Robert Hawley had tne supper in charge, and it was a success in every way, the bill of fare being a most excellent one. The patronage was so unexpectedly large that the food supply began to fall short about seven o'clock, and at 7:30 they were obliged to refuse to sell supper tickets, but still bad ice cream and cake. Mrs. Hawley was very ably assisted by the Guild aud others. Another similar supper is talked of in the near future, for the purpose ot buying dishes and si'verware. Bell Telephone.

Bv sitting in a view commanding place on a Sunday evening one can see some awful costumes, a succes sion it Hideous nigiitmires, re sembling, as one observer expressed himself last Sunday evening, "a collection of rainbows struck by lightning." May be it isn't a bit nice to criticise the dress of the fair sex, but really the inappropri- ateness in a few instances was so very absurd that we can't refrain . One dress was so encrusted with silver spangles that you cculda't look at it comfortably without blue goggles. The wearer no doubt thought it was stunning, " it might look appropriate in a colored cake walk, but if a dress maker made it tor street wear, it must have been in a moment if temporary aberra tion. But it doesn't make much difference to some girls how they look, they will continue to blunder on in their foolish frocks anyway.

The annual convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania convened in Trinitv Church, Car- bondale, on Monday evening, and contiuued through Tuesday.

Irvine to be reinstated in the minis try, from which he was deposa4 by Bishop Talbot, was referred to a special committee and the commit tee recommended that the petition be dismissed. The report was adopted by a large vote. The decision of the Supreme court in the case of Rev. Irviue is printed in this issue.
