Pretty ParasoI.

An extremely pretty idea introduced
in parascfs is small shepherds
check in iafretas, the favorite colors
being bre or black or brown and
white; silver or gold tips finish the
ribs. and the handles are similar to
umbrella handles. Lace medallion
decorations are still in evidence, al
though they are certainly not so smart
as those which are woven into the
material and which are about the
size Of silver dollar. Shaded ruch-
ings are very effective feature of the
season.

mThN Will Be Done.W

Yesterday, when I said, "Thy will be
done"
would be;
What clouds would gather black across
my sun,
What storms and desolation waited me:
l knew thy love would give me what
was best,
And am glad I could not know the
rest.
"Thy viii be done" / say, and to the
scroll
or unread years consenting set my
name;
Day after day their pages will unrol
In shining words that prove thy love
tho same
Until my years are gathered into one
Eternal, sanctihed, "Thy will be done

A COUNTESS THRU THE PoPE's GRACE
A Well-known New York Woman Wins
Recognition Thru Her Work for the
Opportunity Of Appearing at Miss
Leary's Famous Tuesday MusIcales.

ONE AMERICAN woman has the right
to the title of countess which she won
thru philanthropic work and not by mar
rage with some foreign nobleman. It is
just about two years ago that Archbishop
Corrtgan announced to Miss Anna Leary of
New York at a small gathering Of friends
at the Leary residence, that the late pope,
Leo XIII, had made her a countess Of the
Holy See in recognition of her boundless
generosity to the church. She is probably
the only American woman ever so hon
ored.
Attic she has the right Miss Leary sell
dom uses the title. Her gifts to the
church have been princely and only last
month she endowed a chair of theology in
large Catholic institution in New York
The StonewaH sanatorium is one of her IA
vorite beneficiaries and the Leary chapel
| Is famous.
Miss Leary is a leader in conservative
New York society and her home on Fifth
Favenue has been the scene of many bril-
liant gatherings. Every Tuesday in the
season she gives a musicale and the most
famous singers have been heard in her
drawing rooms. Gourmet, who appeared
in "Parsifal," was introduced at one of
these gatherings and 1t Is regarded as a
privilege to sing, altho a check for from
$500 to $500 Is usually forthcoming for the
singer. ... ~
These affairs, are rather quaint, The
guests and artists occupy seats facing the
grand plano and the singers in turn rise
Informally and move to the open space

duoed a headache sooner or later. AS It
was usually worn the sailor hat failed to
shade the eyes and was an uncomfortable
thing altogether Some women wore
boys caps or knockabout hats IS a SUBJ
stitute for the sailor, but Of late years
there have arisen outing hats that are
charming as we'll as easy Soft felts,
bamboo and Manila straws that can be
bent any way so that they will not take
the wind too much in riding wheel or
boating, fail to protect the eyes In
tennis or golf, are made in such becoming
shapes that almost they persuade the
non athletic girl to plunge into athletic
sports at once. Such hat Is an tndis-
pensable part Of the outing girls equip
ment.
Thus far mention has been made of the
dress that would be used in bicycling and
in games. When one comes to horseback
riding, there must be something different.
Even here common sense has made its
way and again the American woman may
claim credit for it. No longer need one
ride in a stiff fitted waist to match the
habit skirt. Such waist used to be worn
regardless of the temperature and made
riding In hot weather a penance more
than pleasure. Now the shirtwaist may
be worn on the horse as much as on the
wheel. English women have followed the
example Of Americans in this respect and
| the old basque waist and the high hat
have disappeared together, except for
stately occasions. Even in the park
smart-looking women may be seen riding
horseback in shirt waists and soft outing
| hats
Also they may be seen wearing divided
skirts and riding astride Not 80 much In
New York perhaps anywhere else, altho
even in New York the new fashion finds
adherents. But Boston the conservative
commends riding astride as well as Chi
cago the radical. All over. the country
the fashion is increasing and with 1t will
come a big change in the riding habit.
Even where the side saddle is still used
the skirt is only long enough to cover the
feet well and is a great contrast to the
old sweeping skirt that almost touched
the ground. The divided skirt must be
made with great pains and here again
the good tailor Is an essential. If the skirt
is not right it is likely to be a horror and
it Is almost better for woman to re-
frain from riding altogether than to go in
a skirt so poorly made that she both
looks and feels unsightly.
There is no fear that the taste for
athletics Is by way Of rendering women
careless of the daintiness Of their appear
ance. Because they dress in a fashion
that makes delicate arrangements Of chit
fon and tulle out Of place they have not
