Six splendidly clad young women, not the least of their grandeur being represented by the latest examples of millinery art, swept into the First Presbyterian Church last night and seated themselves in the most advantageous seats of ' this, the most select house of worship in the city.

Dr. Matthews, when his calm glance over his congregation re vealed the fact that one of the standing rules of the church was being violated right under the ministerial nose. : There was no responsive action on the part of the six. The request was repeated in a still firmer tone, but the rebels sat firm, and after a pause of a minute's duration, the divine began . bis sermon while the six sat straight with their plumes flaunting a paeon of victory.
