THE CATAHEDRAL AT RHEIMS.
The Outlook in a recent issue car
ries the following pertinent article
relative to the Cathedral at Rheims:
The Cathedral Church at Notre
Dame in the French city of Rheims
has suffered severely from the artil
lery fire of the Germans. How great
th edamage to it is yet impossible to
say with certainty; hut there is no
doubt thht it has been severe, and a
great deal of it is Irreparable. Karly
reports stated that the cathedral was
practically destroyed. Later reports
state that the main structure stands,
but that the decorations have been
damaged, notably the glass of the
windows. That of course can never
be replaced.
Trobably no monument of mediaeval
art was betetr known to the world
than the Cathedral of Rheims. Many
experts have regarded it as, on the
whole, the greatest monument of a
period of inspiring creative work. Its
west front seen across the square was
like a glorious personification of the
aspiration, faith, and life of the Mid
dle Ages; and in its center w r as the
famous rose window in which phoph
ets and martyrs were glorified by the
afternoon sun. Both the window and
the gallery beneath it, and for that
matter, the whole church, were mag
nificent expressions of the human
spirit flowering in stone rather than a
material structure reared by calcula
tion and machinery. American chil
dren have known the Cathedral for a
generation through Its associations
with the "Jack Daw" of Rheims;
every French child has known it be
cause more than any other church it
has b<?en identified with French his
tory. All the kings of France save
six were crowned In It; and Its seven
hundred years of life have been con
temporaneous with the history of
France itself. In that history there
has been no more striking scene than
the coronation of Charles VI., with
Joan of Arc, the sacred banner In her
hands, standing beside the king. Her
equestrian stature still stands in front
of the ruins of the great minster.
A great deal has been said about
German culture. Rheims was the cen
tre of culture nine hundred years ago;
the liberal arts were taught In the
famous school founded by the Monaeh
who afterward became Pope Sylveg
tel 11.
If as alleged, end as seems to us
highly improbable, the Cathedral
towers were used for the mounting
of guns by the defendants, then the
responsibility cannot be placed upon
those who fired upon the Cathedral,
and must be borne by the defenders.
Keen savages In war respect sacred
places. There is no excuse that the
jlvillxed world will accept for the
V inton destruction-or even Injury
of surh a monument of the Rheims
Cathedral; and no excuse which mil
itary men will accept for the de
struction of such a monument through
bad marksmanship To destroy hu
ra * life In n»r Is • ■ : enough but to
w
human soul, for it Is In such monu-
ments as the Cathedral of Rheims that
the soul of the men of the Middle
Age, whose bodies have long since de
cayed, is still alive in the world today.
The Pope has called for contribu
tions from the Roman Catholic
churches for the repair, or the re-con
struction of the Cathedral at Rheims.
All those who are loyal members of
the Roman Catholic Church; all those
who believe in the Catholic Christian
Faith, shared by Protestant and Ro
man Catholic alike; all those who,
whatever their spiritual faith, believe
that art can and should, minister to
the spiritual life; all those who are in
different to thp spiritual life but be
lieve in art; all those who care neither
for the church, the spiritual faith, nor
art, but are Indignant at this bar
baric attack upon a monument sacred
to millions of their fellowmen, might

been transacted delegates to the con
vention in Albany were appointed,
Mrs. Frank Fleming as delegate with
Mrs. Lindsay Arrington as alternate.
At the conclusion of the business
session the subject of cotton goods

Fall and Winter Apparel tor Women
Who Can Distinguish Clever
Smartness From Mere Novelty
More than ever common sense is now forging to the front in styles for women the
past season’s extremes had little reason behind them save that they stood for fads and
fancies of the hour from Paris. With this course of supply cut off and the extremes
modified by experience, women who can distinguish clever, common sense smart
ness from mere novelty, will be well pleased to have these splendid—and different
Fall and Winter models to select from.
Good taste is assured—and style—because you have never known this store to err
in the correctness of its adaptions, concerning the variety in the stocks you will gain an
idea of the distinction from these specials.

ways. There were several lovely cot
ton gowns shown on living models and
there were samples of cotton goods
from the Augusta Factory, Sibley
Mills, Graniteville and Drayton Mills
in Spartanburg, and there were sum
pies sent from these mills and also
from the Enterprise Factory, Globe
Mills, Riverside Mills, and tiia War
ren Mill. The samples and dresses
shown were all so attractive and at
the same time so cheap was the ma
terial that it is very .probable ttiat the
suggestion that Augusta women wear
cotton this winter will work Q. K„
and that before thh winter sets in al
most every woman in the city will
have several of these beautiful gowns.
Mr. Tracy Hickman was present at
the meeting and gave the .dub mem
bers an Interesting little talk along
cotton lines. Mayor Hayne, who has
been expected to also give the club a
talk was not present.
Along the idea that cotton gowns
should be worn this winter by Mouth -
ern women and in this way use up
tho many bales of cotton that will
otherwise be held in warehouses, why
should not the women wear eotton
gowns. Many of the cotton materials
