forgets that the stiff bosom styles are

more of the colored effects for morn
ing wear says an eastern fashion
writer II is strange how fashions re-
peat themselves. When colored shirts
came into vogue some fifteen years
ago the body was usually made of
white linen, the bosom alone being of
colored material. Next the cuffs and
bosom only We're made OF colored
stuff, and 1t was not until a season or
two had passed that the full colored
shirt became the rage. But when it
once attained that distinction the old
white body and tinted front and cum
styles Immediately began to grow so
common that they were not only dis
carded by well dressed men, but even
became a mark of positive bad form
and cheap vulgarity. One might well
have supposed that their day had
passed forever. but not bit of it, for
after a decade there were unmistaka-
bic signs of a return to the spurned
and derided style, and this season u
number of the SWEETEST eastern shops
have been making a feature of 1t. The
very best materials are used, OF
course, and the workmanship Is of the
highest order. but there is the old idea,
nevertheless resurrected and put
forth as the latest touch Of fashion.

life are interesting. The Society or Jesus.

position in the councils of the church, was
intrusted with his education, young Pecci
being sent at the age of eight years to the
Jesuit college at Viberbo. where he re-

studies at the Jesuit college in that city.
When he was eighteen years old he secured
the first prize for chemistry and physics

Ia no way interfered with his taste for liter
allure and classical studies. and even in
those early days he was remarkable for the
elegance and purity OF his Latin, which
subsequently found such notable expression

work. but In the higher plane of poetry. He
