CRITIcIsING THE BISHOP OF HAVANA.

Havana Aug ls-"Ia Iucha" demands the dis
missa OF the Bishop Of Havana. as rebuke for
his failure TO respond in patriotic manner to the
request OF the Queen Regent for appropriate
funeral ceremonies in memory Of Premier Canovas
del Castillo
The Bishop absented himself from the pulpit and
neglected TO designate a worthy preacher for the
occasion. He omitted 10 order masses throughout
the diocese refused communicate spiritual graces
and would not Oficiate at pontifcal mass. AT the
last moment Captain-Gene Weyler designated
an army chaplain to preach the funeral discourse.
The Bishops cOrduct is much commented upon in
the local press which reflects public opinion in its
sharp criticisms of mis- behavior. His act is in
strong contrast to the ready compliance with a
similar request by the bishops throughout Spain
in an hour of national sorrow
The Bishops refusal is attributed in some quar-
,ers 10 his desire protest against recent meas
ures cutting down the salaries of ecclesiastics Of
episcopal rank well as OF the civil and military
ernplOVes of the Government

fitting with the sun-plaited gauze put
on in the form of blouse. II was cut
SQUARE necked with berthe OF sun
plated pale heliotrope gauze around
the neck and braces Of heliotrope tat
feta ribbon.
There was a broad sash made of sun
plated heliotrope gauZe that was tied
loosely around the waist and knotted
al the back with ends reaching nearly
TO the bottom of the gown.
Another gown made after this model
was of pale silvery green chiffon with
large plaid in pale pink and ciel blue.
Ii was made over a transparency OF
pink taffeta. The sash and berthe were
of blue sun-plaited chiffon and the
braces were of pink and blue ribbons.
Il is estimated that the Paris colony
will be increased by several hundred
lust after the London jubilee is over,
and it is also estimated that upward
OF five hundred ball gowns will leave
Paris for London within the next three
weeks. NINA GOODWIN.

FELIX,
OF PARIS,
On Physical Culture and
Underwear.
Abundant Trimmings on Rich Toll
ettes.-Pongee Suitable and
inexpensive Fabric for
Summer Wear.

The Parisienne rarely confines herself
n the strictly taiior-made costume; it
does not suit her petite figure, which
requires some Misunderstanding
more to set off her individuality-than
the severe lines of the English tailor
made toilette. 1t is to be made OF sill
yer grey cachemere. The skirt shows
q new departure in the shape of
slightly draped front gore-cachemere
lending itself admirably to draperies-
while the sides fit closely and the back
is gathered in deep folds The cache
mere, Of course, is cut as drop skirt
over a foundation skirt of silver grey
taffeta. The loose blouse bodice Is
gathered in at the waist by novel
pointed girdle of darker grey silk,
closing at one side, and opens in front
over very narrow white silk vest
draped by fall OF real lace which is
sues from a large white silk ribbon bow
at the throat. The tight sleeve is sur
mounted by a full shoulder puff and
has a founce Of lace at the waist. \
graceful trimming consists of rows OF
narrow red, gold, silver and green braid
edging the skirt and sleeves and form
ing a clover-leaf pattern on the Zouaye
Jacket and big flaring collar.
The return of the tailor-made suit
and the rage for the bicycle has ignited
new ambitions in the hearts Of female
fashionabes throughout the continent.
Delighted with the freedom and the
invigorating exercise which the wheel
has given her, she aims at further de-
velopment through studying physical
culture made popular by "Delsarte' as
the aesthetic division of complete edu-
cational gymnastics comprised in the
Swedish system. Francois Delsarte
created his famous philosophy Of eX-
preston through the instrument OF the
human body. while Peter Lingg aimed
TO benefit and develop not merely the
muscles. but even the vital organs
through his system of scientific kim
esiology.
We note with pleasure the changes
brought about by such exercises; they
expand the chest and diminish the
waist and give a graceful and erect car
riage to the body.
We costumers are often accused OF
distorting the female figure. In our
defense be it said that we enjoy moth
ing better than to fit our creations over
a figure which has attained such nat
ural PROJECTIONS. and we consider that
our gowns are never displayed to bet
ter advantage than on woman who
takes sufficient interest in a graceful
poise and artistic motions to overcome
inherent Incidence and put vivacity
and life into her poses. Madame Bern
hardt is the greatest living demonstra-
tor of these principles of aesthetic eX-
preston through a perfectly trained lid
without some artistic reason.
Few women can dispense with cor
sets, for with a close-ftting bodice, a
corset is a necessity, but it should be
made to fit the body and should be OF
firm yet pliable materials. The time
is fortunately over when the body of
the elegante was pressed into iron
vises, as she stood with arms uplifted
high above her head, to narrow the
muscles, while she was laced up by her

A paradise just for boys;

maid. Was it astonishing under such
circumstances that our great-grandams
tainted at the slightest exortion and
that following generations have had to
suffer in consequence. But at last the
curse has been redeemed and the
woman Of to-day is healthy and whole
some and breathes easily in low cor
sets. which gives full expanse to the
lungs and diaphragm.
All underwear is also made with
view TO comfort, as well as beauty, ana
the dainty lingerie of to-day compares
favorably with the heavy clumsy linen
garments which were formerly worn.
Fine woolens, silks and lace are the
materials employed.
Many women hesitate to buy OF
make up silk underclotnes, on account
of the expense involved, but if one con-
siders that a good silk or pongee set OF
underwear will outlast two cotton ones,
and besides needs less trimming, and
is more easily laundried, it will be
found that the difference in cost is but
small. Pongee, once so popular for
summer gowns. is particularly adapted
to make up cool and pretty summer
lingerie. lounging robes and negigee
Jackets. A model for the last named is
made in Empire style Of pongee, very
finely -pleated and falling loosely
from the throat to considerably below
the waist line. As this does not neces-
state q lining, it will be found partlc-
uIarly comfortable for warm wear.
Five rows of valenciennes lace edges the
Jacket and is sewn on to simulate
Zouave Jacket. The close-fitting sleeve
is encircled by rows of the insertion
and has pleated founce of pongee with
lace insertions at the wrist ana Two
large flounces to match at the shoulder
The standing collar decorated with in
sertion is added to by full pOngee ruff
at the back.
The vogue at present is essential for
a great many trimmings and orna-
ments. Even the trimmings themselves
are trimmed. This is a favorite fash
ion at present. For instance, the rib
hon of sashes is bordered with a tiny
rufle of mousseline de sole with very
soft and thin silk fringe, or by a small
ruching of gauze of the same shade
as the ribbon. These trimmed sashes
form a very pretty accessory TO the
summer gown of wash fabrics
Bias folds and rosettes are revived.
A handsome gown Of ecru Henrietta
cloth has the front of the plain narrow
skirt. between the lower edge and the
knees. adorned with folds Of green vel
vet running horizontally and finished
at both ends by chouX Of the same ma
terial. The close-ftting bodice of ecru
and green changeable taffeta is entire
" covered with handsome ecrue lace

rows of bias folds over the bust and
chest. each row likewise finished on the
left side by green velvet choux, gradu-
