Cool Dress at Church.

At the request of the pastor, the Rev. E. Ij. Conger, the congregation of the Universalist church at Benton â– Harbor attended service Sunday in shirt waists, low-necked gowns and outing suits. Some of the women were hatless. Dr. Conger believes in comfort in religion, and church members are pleased with the new departure.
