PRELATE EXPLAINS REMARK

ROME, jan 1.-Two anecdotes con-
corning the Pope are being related here
in well informed circles.
One concerns a priest of Trevise, born
near the Pope's own city of Venice, who
was suspended from holy orders for ex-
claiming .sGod has willed it, on hear
ing Of the capture of Rome by the itai-
ian army in 1870, which marked the end
OF the temporal sovereignty Of the Pom
tiffs
The priest was recently in Rome, and
the Pope. who was one of his personal
friends at the time of his suspension, ac-
cidentally hearing OF his presence here,
summoned him for an audience The
priest, on entering the audience cham
Der, threw himself on his knees, muir

Pope Was Friendly.
The Pope raised him to his feet, and
exclaimed: Not holiness, call me Jo-
seph." Then he asked the priest whether
some means could not be found to re-
instate him in his office. Your holt
ness" replied the priest, Il will do what
you like Do you wish me to enter a
retreat? 1 will do SO, 1 will do any
thing"

Certainly, your holiness. BY all
means let US say God tolerated 1T, for

The priest was reinstated, and now,
after a lapse of thirty-four years, he
has resumed his duties.
Story of Two Women.
Another story is told of two women
from nearby town, who obtained an
audience from the Pope. They had pre-
viously purchased a number of rosaries
and pictures intending to have them
blessed by his holiness.
While the Pope was talking to them
one of the ladies began to cry.
What is the matter, my poor wo-
mang asked the Pope.
With some reluctance the lady con-
fessed that she had forgotten the ro-
sarles and other objects which she had
desired to have blessed.

powerful tugs. We're not realized
This morning the vessel is still fast
in the clutch of the treacherous sand
bar off the Fire Island light
She has moved slightly further up on
the bar. This fact, with a heavy surf,
increases the difficulties of floating her.
Vigil of Lifesavers.
All night long the crews of the Fire
Island and Oak Island Life Saving Sta
tons maintained a weary vigil on the
beach, prepared to launch their life
boats the instant the position of the
crew became perilous. The sea. how
ever. did not rise sufficiently to render
assistance necessary.
At o'clock this morning the two
powerful Merritt & Chapman tugs could
be seen with huge hawsers fastened to
the Indus. The heavy kedge anchors
had been carried seaward preparatory to
making the second effort at floating the
vessel
Large quantities of sugar are being
removed to a lighter which lies along
side the vessel
Sea Is Rising.
The sea, under the influence of fresh
ening breeze. is increasing in violence
hourly. The life-sayers. realizing the
peril which the crew of the Drumeizier
sustained for three days, are in con-
slant readiness to man life-boat to
the vessel
The distance of half mile which the
Indus Hes from the shore prevents the
shooting of the life line. Boats are the
sole dependence to reach her.
Should the sea rise sufficiently to pre-
vent their use Captain Kydd and his
crew of thirty-ive men may be in grave
danger.

Gossip Of the Wardrobe

the trimming of the dress may determine
the way in which they are to end.
For a shirt waist suit of plain cloth,
one may wear a belt and stock of plaid
ribbon, the belt on the girdle order. For
blue dress the plaid might well be blue
and green, and this would be especially
good with peacock hat, or a green hat.
Almost anyone can concoct acceptable
stocks and belts, and thereby save q
pretty penny. Flowered ribbon is still in
favor for girdles, and gives a dressy look
to costume. Choose colors harmonic
ing rather than contrasting.
Coat-tails of all sorts and all lengths
are appearing, slim tabs and fiat, wide
tails; they bid fair to be rushed to an ex-
treme that soon will see their end. AL
though the exaggerated dip belt does not
now obtain, still the draped bodices are
built on pointed foundation that car
ries out the dip lines; and one makes a
mistake if she thinks the belt is not to
slope down in front.
We hear repeatedly that separate
blouses are quite out, but ever we find
we'll dressed people appearing with more
new ones. However, ii is wise choice to
select waist that will look as though
chosen expressly for the skirt with which
worn. With suit it is good idea to
buy waist the same color, but of ma
terial different from the main body OF
the gown; with broadcloth, silk is pret-
tier than wool, and chiffon, for looks
best of all. We confess great liking fol-
the combination of wool and chiffon, vel.
vet and chiffon; heavy stuffs appearing
at their best when placed beside filmy
ones, and vice versa.

A gown worn at the opera was a prin-
cess robe of black, literally covered with
black sequips; and with this no jewels
were worn, as they would have detract-
ed from the effect desired, that one OF
grace and simplicity. A rival of the
black sequin gown was white princess
with tiny silver spangles frosting it over.
Silver is very fashionable just now, and
one will not be apt to make a mistake II
one employs a touch of it in stock or
belt, or uses it for general trimming.
One disadvantage is its furnishing, but
as everybody elses does also 1t makes
less difference than if one were the in
dividual sufferer.
Red is trying very hard to lead, but as
yet we cannot say it is the most fashion
able shade of the winter. Green might
almost receive this distinction, one sees
it used on so many good costumes, and 1t
is seen occasionally forming with fine
effect the entire dress. One effective
street costume of deep red redingote,
skirt. and small hat of the same shade,
and the hat was trimmed with rosy
plume A beautiful pink variation was
noticed, the gown of pale pink trimmed
with leaves of velvet of a deeper shade.
A chou of pink tulle at the neck gave an
airy look to this rose-colored creation;
and one gazing at the whole would think
he were looking through rose-colored
spectacles.
Just now 1t is hard to tell exactly what
styles are to be, even the dressmakers
seem undecided as to skirts-waists can
take care Of themselves; we are sure
about the broad shoulders, the fulness OF
| sleeves at the top. But as to skirts; they
cling, and yet they stand out; few
dressmakers have begun to put crinoline
in up to the knees, though they may have
to take it out before the dress is laid
aside. There is tendency to show full
ness at the waist line on the new spring
models, but as yet most of the skirts
are close about the hips and part wa.
down to the knees. RufFies are to b.
used a great deal, both on skirts ant
on waists.

,KdEk N, don't know why, an air to
&WEy costume, look of distinc-
-haEe ~ ton. When the American
Beauty rose came out, per-
haps it had influence to make this
bloom one peculiarly distinguished; at
any rate now If one Is fortunate enough
to get just the right touch of grape tone,
whatever it is that bears the shade will
ibe liked as long as it lasts. We suggest
a costume that possesses harmony OF
tints, and the tints of the kind alluded
to. 1t is mauve gown of cloth (the ma
terial exquisitely fine), trimmed with
heliotrope velvet. The hat should be
very carefully chosen, preferably match
ing the costume, although an all-white
or an all-black one would not be at all
bad with such a gown. The artist that
designed the model selected purple vel
vet hat with plumes of the same color. So
often questions are asked concerning the
exact shade meant by mauve that we
feel called upon to repeat that it is deli
cate purple, lilac or violet. 1t is, to our
way of thinking, one of the loveliest of
all the numberless tones.
A very pretty dress, but one that should
never stand close neighbor to the above,
save in black and white picture, is OF
blue crepe de chine, that accommodating
material that lends itself to so many oc-
casions, so many styles. The model il
Illustrated is perhaps bit stiff. and yet
the dress really does not so look when
worn. A very pretty trimming for the
blue crepe de chine is embroidery and
ribbon, the ribbon matching the dress
the embroidery straw-color or black.
Speaking of blue gowns, we lately
were impressed with one worn by pure
brunette, pale blue trimmed with thu
fashionable sequins, which were o.
shaded blue. The sequins formed straps
for the shoulders of the low-neck bodice
and were cunningly used on net which
fell from the shoulders to a deep poin
below the elbow.
