FADS AND FANClES.

Tailored shirt waists in silks and
woolens are smart for street wear this
season. Few lingerie waists are seen,
except indoors, where the hand embroid-
cred and lace trimmed waists of linen
and lawn still hold their own for after
noon and evening wear.
Black silk waists so becoming TO both
matrons and maidens, and to those who
are stout, as well as to the slender, are
the favorites Roman plaid silks and
small check designs in silks have also
sprung into an amazing popularity
These tailored waists are not Away
severely plain, as the word tailored
implies. for, though simply made, they
are quite ornate in effect especially
when made Of bright-hued p'aids or Of
plain taffetas with bands or inserts of
bias plaid Many otherwise entirely
plain waists have a touch of color III
the decorative effect of handsome but
tons arranged each side Of the front or
wherever the style Of the waist permits
the placing Of ornamental buttons.
Tucls and plaits are characteristic of
these waists, and unless there are plaits
Or pin tucks, or stitched folds in the
front and back, the models will lack the
stamp Of fashion that is essential for an
ip-to- date woman nowadays.

A Dangerous Process.

Sociological studies are often Of
use to humanity, no doubt, and of
interest to those who make them,
but they are also sometimes dan
gerous. 1t depends upon the ex-
perimenters.
For instance, an Episcopal curate,
of New York, was deposed from the
ministry by Bishop Greer the other
day because of certain investiga-
lions he had made into low life,
which Investigations brought him
into a prominence not particularly
satisfactory to the church authori-
ties. This curate was arrested by
the police at a house in the tender
loin district last March, whittier he
had gone in the company of a negro
woman.
The reverend gentleman defended
his presence in the place on the
ground that he was making sociolog-
ical Investigations of great value and
that had the result not been placed
before the public through the me-
diumship Of the police court, all
would have been well and he would
have contributed some valuable
items to the worlds fund of knowl-
edge. As a matter of fact, the mag
istrate before whom he was ar
raigned accepted this explanation
and discharged him. but Bishop
Greer could not see the matter in
the same light.
Peril reposes in anything that 3
clergyman does outside the imme-
date line of his duties. Even in the
innocent matter of making church
calls he sometimes finds his actions
miseonstrued and condemned. It is
often a pity that clergyman may
not give free reign 10 his wishes in
such matters, for there is no ques-
ton that his calling would make
him especially acute in social
studies. But there are the imita-
tons of the cloth-except perhaps
to the Catholic clergy, who seem, by
some divine right. to have the per-
mission to go where they please
and beyond them it is generally I'M
wise for the pastor of church at
least to pass.
Newspaper readers should go slow
in condemning this New York Gu
rate. for It must be remembered
that he was discharged by the court
and his actions may have been en-
tirely innocent. But the appear
anees that he himself threw about
