Christian. This W a glorious conquest
for the cause of Christianity. There IS
joy and happiness to-day on account OF
that conquest centuries ago.
But however great an APOSTLES sanctity
and zeal may be be could not be an apos-
tie without power. Power ST. Patrick
possessed, and miraculous power al that.
The power to work miracles Is the most
powerful accessory to an apostle. for it is
witness that he comes from Christ.
When John sent di-ci pies TO Jesus to ask
him whence he came he sent them back to
tell John what miracles they bad seen him
perform. God never sent forth a great
APOSTLE without bestowing this gift upon
him, so that the deaf can hear, the lame
walk aud the dead rise again. With all
this 81. Patrick had hard time with the
pagans to whom he went. He had come
in contact with the oldest civilization Of
the West a civilization indi gen0us to the
country. 1t was the proud boast of Ire
land that she had never been subject to
the civilization of Rome. In no other
islands did the apostle need such peculiar
powers as in this island. The Dru DIS in

The Donegal fund exhibit in the Manu-
features building was visited by a con-
sinuous stream of people from morning

taken home by the people who partici-
oated in the festivities.
At night the Knights of st. Patrick gave
their usual excellent banquet, at which
many prominent lrishmen sat down, and
the shamrock was drowned amid wit,
eloquence and timely mirth. Altogether
this st. Patriek's day was most remark
able one, and brilliant success in all that
goes to make a patriotic national celebra-

1t is now an open fact that feet are
growing larger as one consequence of
that outdoor life led by so many girls of
the period The tiny slipper once so
raved about in poetry and prose as a
positive inspiration when worn by pretty
women will come to be regarded as
sort Of antediluvian relic, dating from a
time when feet were practically unused,
their owners being as adverse to active
exercises as lap dog The heavy tread
of the beetle crushing foot will be heard
in the land, and even ultra fashionables
will have to confess to fives, SKIES or
sevens as their size. With little hysteric-
al giggles they will profess wonder
ment at the way their feet have grown
since they took to lawn tennis, physical
culture and walking tours, and they can
console themselves with the reflection
that many other young women have the
same tale to tell How long, think you,
will the high French heel continue in
favor, now that women are so much on
their feet? It is form Of torture, all
said and done, if anything like good
walk is attempted, that clump under the
middle of the sole just right for slant
ing the foot at misery producing angle

heard this last winter expatiating on the
good results they have felt from the

Just before Napoleon set out for the court
of Belgium he sent to the cleverest artisan
of his class in Paris and demanded Of him
whether he would engage to make n coat of
mail, to be worn under the ordinary dress,
which should be absolutely bullet proof,
and that if so he might name his own price
for such work. The man engaged to make
the desired object, If allowed proper time,
and he named 1900 francs as the price Of
it, The bargain was concluded, and in due
time the work was produced and its maker
IGNORED with the second audience of the
emperor. Now said the imperial mai

And be took brace of pistols and pre-

retreating, however, and half dead with
fear he stood the fire, and to the infinite
credit of his work with perfect impunity
But the emperor was not content with one
trial. He fired the second pistol at the back
of the trembling artisan and afterward dis

him, with similar effect. well" said the

it will prove cheaper, too, for the girls.
While tailor cuts predominant for
morning wear. they are away in the
minority by the middle OF the after
noon, when gowns cannot be too dainti-
ly designed. An example of las eful
elegance is shown in the fourth ill1stra-
ton, wherein heliotrope mousseline
chiffon and black point d'esprit tulle
are combined. The skirt is made of
accordion pleated chiffon and the over
dress consists OF the tulle, hooks in
front, aud has vest of pleated mousse
line, which laps over. The pleated
skirt ia lined with silk, may be slightly
stiffened, if desired, and ia finished on
the inside with gathered chiffon frill.
The bodice part has a fitted silk lining
and the tulle fronts are rounded at the
bottom and draped from the middle of
the skirt to the shoulders. The sleeves
consist OF large puffs finished with tri-
angular piece of tulle, bordered with
heliotiope and black tinsel galoon. and
deep heliotrope silk fringe. The long
cuffs are plain.
A current trick is to wear the belt
loose 30 that it droops at one side, as do
the eailors'. 1t is claimed for this notion
that the effect is prettier than the tight
belt, but the truth is that tiny waist
encircled with manifestly loose belt
looks smaller than ever. The secret OF
this effect is, of course, that all neces.
gary compression must be managed
without giving to the belt any respons-
Utility. The most becoming belt is
thick, heavy, leather one,- that is made

Such a belt worn loose is far prettier
than the fimsy ribbon belt pulled 90

cial life is always the same and always
as ornamental as it is useful. Just as
they beautify the offices where they work
SO they decorate their last conquests, the
stations of the elevated roads in Brook

used to be dingy and untidy, with pals
and brooms standing about and cuspi-
doris in evidence. Now tho women have
made all the stations neat and have put
pots of flowers in the windows and
punches of artificial blossoms on the
ticket counters. The women arc other

is that they must talk and gossip, no

A Japanese Girl Student.

Radcliffe college, formerly Harvard
annex, has among its undergraduates
this year tho first Japanese girl who has
come to this country for an education.
She is Miss Shids- Mort, and she is a
charming combination of japanese fea-
lures, English dress, American couture
and Japanese Anglo language. She has
been at Radcliffe since the beginning OF
the inidwinter term, but she has been
keeping shyly out of sight until the 9TH
er night, when there was an entertain
ment given by DR.. Sargent's school.
Then the shy little Japanese maid came
forth a ID gave juggling exhibition
with as much ease as if she were on
variety stage instead of pursuing
classical education in Cambridge. Since
that time she has been very much the
fashion.
Her father is a wealthy banker of
Yanagawa Kiushu, Japan, and all the
family are devoted Christians. Miss
Mort has come to this country to fit her
self by study for missionary work in her
native country. 81 came over" she
says, with Mr.. and Mrs. Davis, who
were missionaries to Japan, sent out by
the Methodist church. My father was
converted and baptized into the Presby-
terrain church, and I was educated in
Japan in a mission school directed by
Congregationalists I do not think the
denomination makes any difference. All
I care for is the Christian church at
large, SO do not pay any attention at
all to the differences in the creeds. Mr..
Davis was settled about so miles-that
is, about 80 OF your miles, from my
homeland went to their home and
lived for o little while before I came to
this country. My father thought l
might better do so to get used to Amer
lean food and learn to cat with knife
and fork and to wear the American
dress, etc. No, do not think 1t is so
pretty as the Japanese dress, and the
waists Of your dresses do not like. We
do not wear any corset, you know, with
our Japanese dress, and we are so much
more comfortable all the time, especial
ly in the summer. But the lower part
Of your dresses seems better to me.

Men and Women as Shoppers.

Speaking of the annoyances of their trade
a well known dealer in gents FURNISHING
goods said: I'VE hear talk of women going
to the store and compelling the clerks to
pull down great piles of goods before a.pur-
chase is made. Women do that, admit,
but selling 8 woman dress is nothing COM
pared to the trouble of selling collars to the
average young man. A customer will come
in and examine every line of collars we
have. He will hold one in his hand and eye
it carefully. Then he will walk before a
glass and put it around his neck. Then he
will go through a lot of other bits of fool
ing and wind up by making a monkey of
himself, and probably in the end he will
buy one or two collars. 1t is very annoy
ing, but what are you going to do about it?'
