front is open over a panel made Of
one breadth of Grape laid IN box plat.
The balloon sleeves are Of Grape and
stiffly interlined. The waist IS of Grape,
shirred into the neckband. The pres
ence of the white on the heretofore dis
NAL black is calculated to relieve the
beholder of the depression that a full
mourning gown usually gives, and it
would be wei to copy the design.
Among all the lovely gowns for visit
ing Of this season doubt if there is one
more attractive than that I am about to
describe for some clever lady to repro
duce. 1t is OF royal purple velutina, cut
princess, but so very full in the back
that it falls naturally into godet plaits.
The front is draped across in ten small
plaits, not all together, but at such dis
tances and in such places as viii throw
a proper form to the seamless front. The
gown closes on the left side and has a
row of gray fox fur all the way down
and one other row on the skirt simulat-
ing an opening Another row IS around
the neck, and another binds the falls to
the sleeves. These are lined with gray
satin If a lady wishes to make a gown
like this, all she has to remember is to
take up all those little plaits before she
trims off the skirt. The rest is as easy
as rolling Off the traditional log.
1 had intended mentioning another
mourning costume, this for a young
widow, before speaking of any other
gown, but it is not too late now, I hope.
There is certainly a growing revolt
against the old set, heavy and shapeless
garments that women were expected to
wear after death and most particular
y that of q husband. The revolution
has brought the possibility of dress
quite attractive enough in its way to
help console the widow for her dreadful
loss The same long princess lines pre-
vail in this also though this is Of walk
ing length. The back is Of Priestley
silk warp henrietta, and English crane
forms more than half the front. The
waist portion shows Grape as founda-
ton, with a double bertha of the henri
eta, stiffened with buckram. The sleeves
are large gigots. The muff IS of Grape,
with edges of black skunkskin. The
bonnet has bows Of Grape on each side
and tiny black feather The veil
reaches nearly to the feet. The white
cap is the veriest line Of white and
scarcely shows.

his preliminary education ia the schools
of Albany and later attended Union col
lege for two years. He also worked ON
his fathers newspaper and displayed
decided talent for the business.
His aim, however, was the church
and after q tour abroad he returned to
Albany and began preparation to enter
the American college in Rome. Soon
after no was ordained he became "a
member of the faculty Of the American
college and later was appointed vice
rector Of the institution. He was IA
vorite pupil of Mgr Satoli and held
the chair Of dogma when the papal del
egate came to America to attend tho
celebration Of the centennial Of tho hi
erarehy's establishment ia America.
That Father Rocker was highly esq
teemed in Rome was shown little
more than year ago when he was dis
patched to America with messages from
Pope Leo XIII to Mgr Satoli and Car
dinal Gibbons. He was also the papal
representative at the twenty fifth ami
versary Of the elevation of Cardinal Glib
bons to the bisbopric and bearer Of tho
pope's gift 70 Cardinal Gibbons. This
gift was portrait Of the pope inclosed
in a frame Of gold studded with precious
stones.
At the time Or. Rocker delivered the
pope's messages it was rumorcd that he
was to become Mgr. Satolli's secretary.
but the runor proved unfounded at tho
time Owing TO the fact that Secretary
Papi IS to become a Jesuit, however.
there is now "a vacancy in the secretary
ship, and 1t is said DR.. Rocker Will soon
assume the duties of the office. DR.
Rocker is a handsome man, with a stall
