New methoa Of Using Feasher..

Ostrich feathers are more worm
than usual at this season. The broad
er brimmed hats are often trimmed
with them. As yet, this kind Of hat
is somewhat exceptional and is more
often TO be seen in black than in
color. A new method Of adjusting
ostrich tips Is to attach them 70 the
semi-coronef, which tits the Int or
toane to one side, SO that they stand
almost erect, the points curling back
oyer the brims. In this case the eoro-
net may consist of a semicircrinr
ornament in pierced gilt metal or cut
Jet The gilt ornament is chosen for
a toqne, made Of pink lissc, arranged
in quantity of flat plaits, like the
leaves of book cneircling the edge OF
the brim; and TO this are attached. in
the manner just described, two black
ostrich tips. The same arrangement
is carried out with white tips and
jet ornament for white tulIe toque.

THE ROMAN P0NTIFF.
Looks Forward to Living to the
Close of 1908.
Wants TO Round Out Quarter of n
Century of His Pontincate and
Half Century of his
Cardinsfate.
Especial correspoudence.l

DOPE LEO NIL, according to ca
BILE message recently received
from Rome, has expressed TO his
intimates the conviction that he would
live until late in the year 1908. when.
on December 10. he proposes to cele-
CRATE the fiftieth anniversary of his
elevation to the cardinalate in man
ner beiitting so rare and distinguished
an event. From time to time the news
papers spread the report that the
venerable pontiff is at deaths door,
but from church dignitary who has
seen him several times within the past
decade it is learned that he seems to
be about as robust now as he was ten
years ago.
Pope Leo is one of the most remark
able--if not the most remarkable
men of our age. His character is a
rare combination of firmness and gem
tleness, and with these virtues is com
bined a brilliant mind whose grand
thoughts have challenged the admira-
tion of thinking men of every creed.
Contemporary critics have dealt gen
tly with the aged ruler of the church.
They have, almost without exception,
given him praise for honesty Of pur-
pose and sincerity of intent; the most
notable exception being Marie Corelli.
who, in "rhe Master Christian" draws
a picture of his holiness which de-
picts him as an old, old man governed
by senile prejudice and the advice of
self-seeking sycophants. Miss Corelli's
delineation of Leo's character is ridi-
culed by churchmen, who assert that
the pope is ruler of church in fact as
well as name, and that personal con-

name, was unheard OF until from His peace
on the Mount Of Beatitudes lie gave 1t
forth, music sweeter than angels ever sang,
that higher song that man lives not unto
himself alone, and that the greatest happi-
ness is that which comes OF doing good unto
others.
Peace on earth. good will to men! That
higher song which lifts man above himself
and makes him but little lower than the
angels.
The Christ theme will never die. First
heard on the plains of Bethlehem, with the
frownng Herod-temple but three miles
away, within whose walls were heard the
teachings OF the law of revenge and love Of
self, heard there for the first time, II has
been sounding ever snce, spreading wider
and wider, until now it compasses the whole
earth. In Christ's day Rome had xaxed
to its noon of majesty, yet Rome passed and
was not. On that Kingdom rose other
kingdoms, which perished in their turn.
Since He lived one system after another sFs-
TEN of philosophy has been built up, only
to be torn down again. But the words Of
the Christ be and abide, and they shall stand
forever, influencing men to nobler lives and
higher results in living. His Kingdom is
an everlasting Kingdom, and of its dura-
tion there shall be no end.
Meet and right Is it, then, that the
Christ-day shall be one Of sladness in the
human heart; that the children shall tske
part in it, since He loved them and blessed
them, and that gifts shall be exchanged in
token Of that love for one another, which
He bore for all humanity.
