should have only white. blue. or black

20 not IKE any otner colorS- Possibly the
Pope prescribed white because it is the
symbol of purity. blue because 1t is the
color dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and
black because it is the time-honored hua
of dress for outdoor wear in Spain and

in the Chicago Chronicle This dipio-
mat is distinguished savant of South

with his writings on economic questions.
He is the author of standard works in the
fields of literature. art, and music, also,
and has found time to indite some charm-
ing stories bits of verse and to compils
the biographies of eminent men of his ma
tive country. Nine. Msrou is woman of
dignified bearing. and during her former
residence was one of the most successful
hostesses in the diplomatic corps. There
