Black Waists.

Black net waists are rivaling the
white ones this season, and are ex-
ceedingly pretty and attractive. They
are tucked or else trimmed with rib
bon quilted or plated and outlining a
Greek key or some other conventional
design. The ribbon is usually velvet,
although taffeta is much used. The
yoke is of some silk lace, also black,
and is transparent, and the sleeves
reach just below the elbow band. If
lace is not used for yoke. then narrow
taffeta or messaline folds is selected
and sometimes velvet baby ribbon
forms some design attached with lace
stitches.

The oxalis is fine for hanging bas.
kets or pots on brackets in a sunny
window. They commence blooming
soon after planting and need not be
set away to form roots like most other
bulbs. They bloom during the entire
winter, and the yellows are SO very
cheerful. Five or six bulbs can be
planted in a six-inch pot. Several
should be planted as one does not
make much of a display.

 Rome, Dec. 23-Tne Vatician says the French government has not sent a telegraphic circular to its representa- tives abroad. in answer to the protest of the Holy See concerning the search ing of the nunciature at Paris and the expulsion of Mgr. Montagnini, but has merely communicated with the diplo-' mats accredited to Paris.
 The vatician now does not conceal the fact that the important documents in the nunciature were transferred long before the search was made to the ern- bassy of a Catholic power. While 1t is not known to what embassy they were taken, 1t is known 1t was not that of Italy. It is supposed they were con- veyed to the Austrian embassy. It ts also stated that the rroper code confts- cated was that used during the time Mgr. Clari was the papal nuncto at Paris and was obsolete.

 schools.
 New York. Dec. 2a.--Preparatlons for Christmas exercises in the public schools of the city have been under way for some time and have resulted in formal protests to the board ot edit cation by the parents of Hebrew chil- dren.
 The board has failed to interfere and it was announced there would be a strike of Hebrew students on the East Side tomorrow the boys and girls refusing to enter the schools unless assured that the Yuletide programmes would be abandoned. The matter was taken up by the Hebrew press and tue pupils of both reformed and orthodox synagogues.
 At Temple Emanuel and Temple Beth Fl today conservative views of the sit- uation were taken. Dr. J. L. Magnes told the congregation of the former temple that the real Jew resented the activity of those Jews who would strip Christmas of all it's beauty. The Jew who is a firm one, will find In Christ mas" he declared, "something of beau ty. Not because of the pagan mirth which 1t brings, but because there is something of real grandeur and of real depth to be found in the observance We Jews CAn unuSTbldho ahN NPRt~ ciate. even though we do not observe the day"
 Judaism and Christmas, was Che topic of Dr. S. Schulman Tn his sermon in Temple Beth Ell He spoke in part; 'srhere Is the spirit of holiday in the air. There is the seasons appeal 70 the good in human nature No one cares to shut hinMe.r Tn his creedal compartment SO as to escape being if- fluenced by the contagion of the sea- son. can understand and sympathize with those teachers who desire to bring yuletide spirit into the public schools.
 They want to make the children and themselves happy in doing this. They wish to add personal and moral touch to the school routine, the function of imparting knowledge. I sympathige with them and l say have their exer- cises, recitations, games, plays and bring the poetry ofs winter into the schools and in It's setting reveal the warmth of humanity. But as Jew and a Christian and I say let there mingle with the festivities nothing Christian, sectarian or Christologicai" ,"

Postal Bank Facts.

Chicago Daily News.
 The British postoffice savings bank is continually adopting Improvements in the interest of depositors. On July 8, 1905. another innovation was made In tha form of a system of withdrawal on demand" Under the system a de- positor by presenting his book at any postoffiee open for savings bust- ness can withdraw immediately any sum not exceeding s5. This not only ohviates the delay involved in com. municating with the central bank by letter but does away with the necessity for, tslegraphing in order to withdraw small amounts. During the first six months the system was in operation the number Of withdrawals on demand was nearly e,Ooe,00o, representing 4s DOT cent of the whole number of withdraw. ais. The te1esra2hic withdrawals at the same time fell to about half the former number The latest report gives the number of deppsitors for the united Kingdom as s.sssi04s. the total deposits being ip excess of STso, O0e, 900, lstfon is tN

 Homes By Flames.
 Fire at il o'clock last night. prac- tically destroyed two houses occupied by negroes at .2t0 and PIP St. James street. rendering a dozen occupants homeless, and endangering the lives of several of them.
 bors resulted in warning which came caping from the buildings, and saving ings. The blaze started in the build ing at -210 St. James street, which was occupied by Maria Pool and several other negroes The flames. famed by a brisk wind, spread 10 the adjoining structure Both buildings were frame and the Are ate through them rapidly Tn the house which caught fire last, were the negro families of Henry Reed and Leola Cade- They were awakened by shouts of neighbors and made their way from the buildings.
 The fire department made a quick run 10 the place, but before it's arrival the flames had made such headwav that 1t was, impossible to save the houses. Most of the household goods of the occu- pants were taken from the burning buildings and were left in the street overnight
 The buildings were the property of sam Gersop, and were valued at about $500 each. being fully insured It Is thought the blaze originated from an overturned lamp. Until the headway of the flames was checked, the fire burned brightly, and was plain- ly visible from all parts of the city.
