Between Rome and France Which May Be

(Chicago Tribune.)


The treaty entered into by Napoleon l.
and Pope Plus VII. over q century ago,
determining the relations of Church and
State in France, which had been dissolved
by the Revolution, continued in full force
and unchanged under Napoleon's Bourbon
successors, Louis Philippe, the Second Re-
public, and Napoleon III. 1t will be abro-

into 1t is in many respects unsatisfactory
to both Church and State. There are OPP
pOrtunities for friction under a Premier
who feels as M. Combes does which could
not arise under Catholic King like Louis
XVIII. or Charles x.
The Catholic Bishops in France are NOM
mated by the State and are appointed by
the Church. They cannot be deprived of
their functions without the concurrence~6f
both. No matter how great an offender a
Bishop may be in the eyes of the Vatican,
the French Government must be consulted
and its consent obtained before he can even
be asked to resign. If he is ordered to 20
to Rome the Government can order him
not to leave France. Thus the Bishops
occupy a quasi-official position in the Re
public, and the contention of the Govern
ment is that their functions cannot be in
terfered with without it's consent. The
c0ncordat provides that no action shall be
taken on French soil relating to ecclesias-
teal affairs without the authorization of
the Government.
The Vatican recently ordered two French
Bishops to go to Rome to answer charges
against them, under penalty of excommu-
nicatiOn and deprivation Of functions. 1t
is said that one Bishop is accused of being

that the action of the Vatican was breach

Obeyed the order and the Government has
stopped his pay because he left his diocese
without permission.
The only thing which can reconcile the
Vatican to the concordat is the $4,000, 900

the clergy. 1t is reported that the Vatican
recently sent a circular letter to the Bish-
ops asking for information as to the re-
sources of the dioceses in case Of the with
drawaI or Government support. If the re-
plies should be satisfactory. and they doubt
less will be as to some dioceses, the Vati-

AFFORD to abolish the concordat without first
guaranteeing to itself certain rights which
it would lose if the Church were to become

SIMPLICITY.

Simplicity is rapidly becoming an
obsolete quality among the maids OF
The new century, who are evolving at
pace that is simply bewildering, at
firms writer in the New York Trl-
pune. Not long ago a young girl,
whatever her status in society, was
gowned simply, and jewels were con-
sidered in bad taste. Now she vies
with the married women in the rich
ness of her attire, and glitters with
diamonds. Then, she was carefully
guarded as much as possible from the
knowledge of evil, and free speech
was restricted by her presence. Now
she partakes Of tue fruit of knowledge
Of good and evil with her elders, and
is no longer the ingenue. Girls, how
ever, are not having an easy time of
It by any means.
The obligations of their enfranchise-
ment far outweigh the supposed adj
vantages they have gained. The life
Of an up-to-date girl in society, unless
she is exceptionally well endowed with
this worlds goods, is a very difficult
and strenuous one. To dress appro-
priately, according to the standards OF
the day, for every function, to pay for
tips at house parties, wedding pres

hundred and one assessments which
Vanity Fair exacts from its inhabl-
tants. make even what would have

day. What wonder, therefore, that the
undisciplined, thoughtless young crea-
lures often get into trouble, that they
incur obligations that it is inn ossible
for them to meet, that they roll up
bills that they cannot pay. for it is an
open secret that some of the young
women who manage to dress and live
like their richer associates are in
financial difficulties, and nothing but
. rich marriage or an enforced assis-
lance on the part of their incensed rel
atives will save them from an unpleas-

thousand threats that drowned the
blasts of Tyra's horns
"LeodeSia! Lcodesia. Save US, Leo

Thel the gates were thrown ajar
and the maiden beheld her lever,
Tyra, and his eyes were looking into
hers. A smile was upon his face;
his hands were outstretcked to her
and around his head halo of sunlight
lowered.
With a cry of delight she watched
him advance over the flowers the
maidens s.rewed in his pathway. A
wave of passionate affection swept
over her and her cheeks blushed like
the roses he crushed under his feet.
Then she turned slightly and saw,
at her right hand, youth bearing
two goblets of wine. Barley shade
paler grew her face as she bent low
in saluration to her lord. With set
lips she raised her head and smiled
an instant into Tyra's eyes; then,
reaching forth Ter hands, she took the
goblets from the youth.
She say the iovelight on her lovers
face; she heard the moaning and the
pleading Of her people So steadily

and with smile upon her face she

Now, this question have the Syrians
debated even unto this day: Did Leo
desia hand to Tyra the poisoned wine
and die ef grief; or did she seek tc
save her lovers life and herself ex-
pire through fear of the curse called

But no man knoweth, to certainty,
how, in her heart, Leodesia did decide
that day, for the treacherous sage had
placed poison in both goblets.-E. W.
