Father Tolton is man "a years OF
age, and is the only colored priest in
Chicago, or, so far as known, in the
West. All of his life he has been
studying for the priesthood. Born in
slavery in Rails County, Missouri, he
early evinced decided liking for re-
ligion He was unlike other boys, and
always attended church on Sundays in
stead of going nutting or swimming
with the other pickaninnies. His mas
ter, Stephen Elliott, set him and his
mother free when he was young When
Tolton was years of age his mother
came to Quincy, ILL.,, and took up her
residence there.
The lad went TO work for a local
tobacco dealer at the princely stipend
of 30 cents a week. He became sc
proficient at his trade that he was pro-
NOTED to the position of "stemmer," and
received So week. He kept at this
until he reached his eighteenth year,
when he left the business TO learn the
art of making horse collars. Finally
the boy got chance to fit himself for
the priesthood. During all of these
years he had studied secretly, in the
hopes of some day becoming Catholic
priest. Father Rector of ST. Francis
Church at Quincy conceived liking
for the lad and took him in, and young
Tolton studied under the priests direc.
ton. When Tolton became of age he
entered the Propaganda at Rome
Here he made rapid progress. At the
age of q he was ordained priest by
Cardinal Parrochi.
Father Tolton then returned to his
old home at Quincy, where he created
quite a sensation. He preached in ST.
Joseph's Church there, and crowds
focked to hear the eloquent words that
flowed from his lips. After staying il
Quincy for several years the coloreC
priest decided to remove to Chicago.

fair beg ming. Behold the work COM
pleted.
The thickly embroidered corsage and
sleeves, pictured in the second engraving,
give a good idea of the fine effect gained
by elaborat ion in this manner of trim
ming dress. The cloth is a mouse-g
and the embroidery in medieval style.
The "fourreau" is of Parma velvet embroid-
cred with gold, silver and steel, and the
train of plain mouse-gray cloth. The
shape of the sleeves is 90 be noted - COM
mencing high and full on the shoulder
and fitting tight at the wrist Black net
and lace are used great deal this season
for hornets and hats. When spr gged
net is employed it is usually pulled
oo'ely over the shap and the flowers are
either inserted among the puffs IN front
or somewhat to one side. Black tulle
must be gathered more closely and the
trimming may then consist Of a knot of
pale blue, pink or maize velvet balancing
a bouquet of flowers. The dictum has
gone forth that hats are TO remain small.
One style will consist of black lace en-
broidered white. Aigrettes, lace butter
flies, jet and steel ornaments will set
them off. Greens, old rose, straw, maize
and orange tints, and shades of violet
are to be the pre- aling colors.
The third picture represents a very
pretty costume of sulphur-yellow crepe
de chine embroidered with bronze beads.
The train is of brocaded crepe dc chine
confined around the hips by an embroid-
cred land of velvet. II is suitable for a
church tot ct, and the original will be
worn by the woman whose face is por-
trayed.
The remaining sketch gives very good
idea of a lovely jacket dainty enough to
satisfy the most fastidious. 1t is made
of green velvet, bordered with full pleat-
ings of sky-blue crepe. The front is Of

He came to Chicago some months

permission from the st. Mary's Church
authorities to hold mass twice day in

gathered few other colored Catholics
around him, aud then started to build
up large congregation. Already he
