New Home for Itnly's Parliament.
From the New York Tribune

The Italian government has at length
taken steps to provide more suitable
abode for its chamber of deputies than
the so-called Monte Citerio, which is utter
ly untitled for legislative work. It's acous-
tic properties are SO bad that mem
bers are obliged to leave their seats and
gather round the speaker If they do not
wish to lose his words, while it is impos-
stble to hear him from the press gallery.
The building itself is imposing, and was
partly designed by Bernini. From the time
of Pope Innocent X 1t served as the Curia
Innocenzisna, or Papal Law Courts. But
when Rome became the capital of Italy
in 1870-some two hundred years after the
Curia was built-it was found that by in
closing the courtyard a sufficiently large
chamber of deputies could be made But
each year its Inconvenience have become
more intolerable.

SIecfal Correspondence of The Evening Star
VIENNA, March 1, 1898.
Through all ages and in all climes wo-
man has considered inexorable time the
natural enemy of beauty, of which she
herself was ever considered the highest
representative.
Daily she fights against its ravages, and
when at last she yields she does so with
such charm and grace that his victory be-
comes his defeat.
She knows full well that each line traced
upon her face is the result of deep refiec-
ton born of pain and sorrow, perhaps, and
thus can but command respect, while her
eyes can never lose their luster if the light
shines through them from heart full of
womanly sympathy and love for others.
Her good taste and innate sense of the
beautiful prompt her to clothe her erst-
while 1.-THE body, now losing the supple
ness of youth in gowns conveying length
enins effects, and she surmounts the silver
streaked tresses with a bonnet impressing
GainJiness Wei as dignity.
All the annals of history deal with hero
ines whose charms reached the pinnacle at
ter the first bloom of youth had passed
away.
In the contemplation of rosebud we
are fascinated by its latent possibilities,
which are realized later in the full-blown
rose. Thus woman can be beautiful and
attractive in all stages of her life. Her
costume contributes largely to her at
tIdctivenesS, and dress becomes art as
the years advance and claims more study
and attention to details. Dignity and
stateliness should be in evidence, and col
ors should be carefully chosen.
Great Favorite.
The princess form is great favorite for
gowns for elderly ladies, and our model of
a long manteau is sure to fill all require
ments of fashion as well of the most
refined taste.
Shining cloth of dark lavender shade
constitutes the coat and is appliqued
deep decorative insertions of velvet of
darker shade of lavender. The manteau is
princess in shape and fits closely to the
figure, being secured in front with invisi-
BILE buttons and buttonholes. A full soft
founce of lavender velvet and apphqued
cloth falls over the fastening in front. The
deep insertion of velvet extends all around
the skirt and gives the effect of wide

Every visitor at the performance of
Much Ado About Nothing at the st.

ceived with his play bill a printed slip bear
ing the following despairing appeal for
mercy:

The ladies, however-in the words of
Dalila, "implacable, more deaf to prayers
than winds and seas"-took little notice of
this pathetic document. From first to last,
with few exceptions, these guilty crea-
lures sitting at the play chung to their
more or less monstrous headgear, and the
unhappy spectators in the back rows of the
stalls saw nothing but what the young

when he would be considered. Ray Is

The origin of these is said to date from

They pay as much school tax as any
