UP-To-DATE STOCKINGS.

Fancy stockings are extremely fashion
able at present, and the low shoes worn
with summer frocks give the best pos
sible opportunity to display them. The
plain colors with the bright checks look
we'll with the tan shoes, but the open
work in bright red, blue or black is quite
effective
Plaids dots and stripes I'm all the bright
colors are seen, and In somewhat start
ling combinations. The plain blues are
very vivid in color, and should be of the
best quality to be of good blue. They
have clocks of rather deeper blue, black
yellow or white.
Embroidered hosiery Is much in vogue,
the popular variety being in black Isle
thread, embroidered on the instep and
ankle in colors, both brilliant and sub
dued. At the same time open-work Isle
holds it's own and Is thoroughly fashion
able. AS a rule, the open work runs In
vertical lines and terminates in fancy
points. while frequently the designs are
reinforced with embroidery. Two varie-
ties of Isle guaze hoisery are the extreme
of elegance. One is made 80 as 10 produce
n crepe effect. and the other is so treated
as to resemble moire antique. Both are
especially adapted to wear with patent
leather slippers or low shoes.
PAYING CALLS.
In the matter of making calls II Is the
correct thing for the caller who arrived
first to be the first to withdraw.
To call promptly and in person after
first invitation.
To call within a week after any enter
tainment TO which one has been invited.
To call upon an acquaintance who has
recently returned after prolonged abb
sence.
To call after an engagement has been
announced or marriage has taken
place I'm the family.
For the older residents In the city or
street to call on the newcomers to their
neighborhood.
CLEANING SILVER.
Cleaning silver according to the old
fashioned method Is a dsagreeable pro-
cess, as the whiting or powder gets
around ones finger pails and is decidedly
uncomfortable. There is now In the
market a silver cleaner which is cheap
and serviceable device. and with its aid
and that OF an old tooth brush there is
no need to get ones fingers even wet
The cleaner Is made OF thick telt, with
a wooden handle, and Is corrugated on
one side so as to fit in between the lines
of fork. Another side fits the back ~
a fork and another the bowl OF a spoon.
Passing by the silverware counters In
the department stores or jewelry shops
a faint odor OF camphor may be dis
cerned II the cases are being opened.
This Is a precaution taken to ward of
furnishing. and another method of keep

The condition of mind of the average
Republican politician in Rhode Island

the commission for redistricting the city,

OF the present city council'-then he
divulges the significant fact that 'the
commission has proceeded without re-
gard to this. and when the report Is filed

which has performed the work, who has

administration toward the Britsh-Boer

While riding on a car, last evening, I
ran across a present resident of Chicago,
who lived in Providence. 2 years ago. As
we went down South Main street, he
turned to me and said: What has be-
come of old man Bragun. He had a sort
of museum here" / informed him that
Bragun had passed away. ''well," he re-
marked. 'he was the only man ever
knew that had secondhand caskets for
sale, and goodness only knows where he
got them"
There is a good deal of interest among
the members OF the summer colony in the
town of harrington over the question of
rapid transit to and from Providence. and
quiet bets are being made on which of
the two electric roads will be ready first.
1t looks, however. as IL the Consolidated
road would come out ahead, although the
new street line to Warren is being
pushed very rapidly.
"Why not" said lady to me, last ev-
ening, take Fields Point for a state
reservation. In my opinion IL would be
a delightful breathing spot during the
hot summer months, and is near enough
to the centre OF the city to accommodate
the poorer classes OF citizens" / sug-
gested TO her that 1t would be better to
postpone our talk about cool localities

ture.

To the Bishops-Rejoices at the As
semblage Of Catholics From ALI
Parts Of the World at Rome.
ROME, Nov. s.-The pope has nd
dressed to the bishops an encyclical
dated November /, on the Redeemer
The pontiff says he rcjoicos at the as
semblage of Catholics from all parts
OF the world in Rome during Holy year,
which. he adds, demonstrates that the
people are marching towards Christ
He eXhorts the world to seek the Re-
dccmer, which the pontifr points out Ia
the road TO truth and life, adding:
"As Christ's coming to the world re-
formed society. so the lattcr, In turning
to Christ, will become better. and be
saved by following His doctrines and
divine law, by misunderstanding rcvoi,
against the constituted powers and
avoiding conflicts" Ia
II the peoples acted SO. the encyclical
continues. they would all love one an
other US brothers, and obey peacefully
their supcrlors. Neglect Of God, the
pontiff further says, has led to so many
disorders that the peoples are oppressed
with incessant fears and anguish. He
concludes with urging the bishops to
make known to the entire world that
the Redecner and Saviour OF mankind
alone can bring salvation and peace.
