The rew Graner Patent Coat Coilar is among the handsomest and most becoming improve- mients of the past decade in the designing of women’s garments.

A large number of clergymen were present. The library consists of about 3,000 volumes. Some of the books are very rare, ard many are impossible to duplicate. The library will be open daily to the cler; The colieciion of the books has been a bor of love during the past eleven years by Miss S. F. Smiley, ond since the origin of the enterprise, in 1836, it has been located in New York, Recently it was decided by the Society for the Home Study of the Holy Scriptures and Caurch History, which has accepted the care of the library, that it would be bet- ter to remove it to Washington, this being regarded as the central city and diocese of the denomination, ‘nd: béeause Bishop Sat- terlee, the president ofthe society, resided here. It was also, believed that this was the proper city in which to nationalize the institution. Most of thé’business of the li- brary is conducted'through correspondence with Miss Smiley, the director, who sends the books desired ,.by mail to Episcopal clergymen throughput the entire country, the volumes being retifned to her in the same manner.
