FANCY DRESS TOGS.
Hints for Children's Holiday Dances
and Masquerade Parties.

Appropriate costumes for fancy dances
and masquerades are perplexing question
to mothers of little people as the holiday
season approaches The frocks must be
dainty, original or striking, as the case
requires. Yet the cost of the material and
the labor involved must be equally light at
this time of year, when the pocketbook is
taxed to it's utmost.
The four seasons form pretty quartet
to choose FROM neither need either Co.'S
tune be at all expensive. Spring has an
empire gown, touching the ground, of pale
yellow crepe bordered with long stalks of
daffodiis, cut from yellow and pale, green
paper or thin lining. This robe opens over
a full front of soft white crepe and is fast
ened at the bust by d large butterfly.
Sleeves and puffs of the yellow, the cuffs

POPE CUTS BONDS
He rs NOT OPPOSED TO LAY
DECLARATIONS.

ROME, December ia statement setting
forth that the holy see is not opposed to
the making of declarations under the law
in France, but does resent the whole spirit
of the BRAND circular, has been authorized
by the Vatican. 1t says:
1.-THE situation may be summarized as
follows:
1.-THE Concordat, the most solemn bilateral
contract, has not yet been denounced by
the French government which wishes to es-
tablish a new legal standing for the church
in France The government did not agree
with the holy see on this subject, and re-
peatedly and openly showed hostility toward
the head of the church Violence may pre-
vail for time, but those who are suffering
from this state of oppression preserve all
their rights and all their claims.
The explosion of joy among the Masonic
and demagOgic societies as a result of the
persecution on the part of the government
shows that the war is against the church
and religion. Notwithstanding the bills
passed and regulations adopted, France at
the present time has no law granting re-
lgious liberty to those who do not comply
with the law providing for the separation of
church and state.
May Sacrifice BRAND.
''The one good point in the circular is
sued recently by the French minister of
public worship, NJ. BRAND, is his confession
that it is impossible to apply to cultural
associations the laws of 1881 and 1901, which
were adopted for the regulation of other
kinds of associations meetings Therefore
what is needed is a real law providing for
real liberty. instead Of arbitrary ministerial
circulars. The loyalty and goodwill of the
holy see under similar circumstances was
shown in Brazil. There was a monarchy
and concordat, both of which the repub-
licans suppressed and proclaimed their sep
aration from the holy see under certain re-
serves. Later the Brazilian republic came
papal nunciO was accredited to Rio Janeiro,
while a Brazilian minister was accredited
to the Vatican.
1.-The search of the nunciature at Paris
and the expulsion from France of Mgr.
Montagnini, secretary of the nunciature,
were steps taken with the object of making
the world believe the false statements cir
culated later. which were said to have origi-
mated in the discovery of documents seized
at the nunciature. such as the report that
some of the French episcopacy and clergy
were ready to make applicat tons to hold re-
ligiouS meetings. There is truth in the
statement. The holy see is not opposed to
the making of applications under the law,
but takes exception to the whole spirit of
the circular issued by Minister of Public
Worship BRAND
The pope this morning received a cable
gram from Archbishop Farley setting forth
church's present trials The pontiff was ex-
tremely gratified to receive this message.
Commenting upon it, he said:
1T is the heart of America that consoles
us. The largest center of Catholicism is in
the United States

Exciting Novel by Oppenheim.

Novel readers everywhere will be
glad to have tip on the brilliant new
romance, 1.-The Great Secret" by E.
Phillips Oppenheim, author of ga
Prince of Sinners" 1.-THE Mysterious
Mr.. Sabin" and other noted books.
1t is one of the most fascinating tales
of mystery and action in recent fiction
If you read the first page you simply
can't get away from the magic spell
Of the story till the mystery is solved
in the last chapter.
Suppose you were quietly undreee-
ing in your room at London Hotel
when suddenly a terrified man rushed
in, locked your door and told you
that the men outside were going to
kill him. Suppose you like the mans
looks, 30 that your fighting blood was
up to defend him. What would you
do when his enemies burst in your
door and tried to drag him off with
out law or warrant? And suppose the
man possessed some momentous Sc
cret which made him the victim of an
international conspiracy, and that q
beautiful American girl seemed to be
one of the conspirators. Interesting,
is it not? Well, that is only hint Of
the first chapter, and the story carries
one along in a whirlwind of mystified
excitement to the end.
Mr.. Orpenheim is q wizard with the
pen. Americans are only beginning to
realize that he is one Of the greatest
masters Of exciting narratives in this
decade. He is an Englishman with
an American wife, and characters
from both countries figure in his
novels. 1.-THE Great Secret" is mar.
vel of its kind. The first installment
will appear in the Sunday Magazine
Of the Chicago Record Herald,
