It Is a gallant writer who gently

says: Most men would be glad to
arrest the rush Of feminine fashions,

have scarcely time to get used to one
absurdity before another SURPRISES us,
Five years or so ago the feminine

months ago 1t bulged at the wrist,
Now there are signs of a turn of the
tide. The fulness Is creeping up again
and appears half way up the forearm
The effect produced on the casual OBJ
server Is that Of a pair of short flap

what she wears. but one might wei
wish she was a little less impetuous

AN AMERICAN POPE.

II Is somewhat startling to have a
prominent Italian journal seriously
discussing the possibility Of Cardinal
Gibbons election 10 the event OF the

son to take this suggestion seriously,
1t is a matter Of great interest that
In the Italian nation, the traditional
home Of the pope. they would regard
II as ever remotely possible that the
pontiff could be chosen from across
seas and from a new nation,
LItalie, the journal referred to.
makes d plausible argument for the
possibility OF this choice. II calls at
tention to the millions Of members Of
the Catholic church. both In the
United States and In its dependencies.
and shows that no cardinal will repre-.
sent In virtue Of this will be Of great
power. As a representative also Of
the American type OF civilization.
recognized as that OF the future, this
cardinal will. in many respects. be
more desirable than any other.
II Is also pointed out--and this, we
VIE
|nrgument--that Cardinal Gibbons Is
the only one Of the college Of cardin-
ais not identified with any faction.
These factions are so nearly equal In
strength that II may be difficult for
choice to be made along partisan
lines. Quite possibly the American
might be the only one upon whom the
factions could unite. As this journal
states, he represents only tho rcac
tion against the dead weight which
the h~ebetudinous. benighted church
men sometimes endeavor to hear
upon the church."
America Is more responsible than Il
