q small handkerchief is worth $500,
with the stiff handkerchief around
their necks that makes them all look

along on heelless slippers with wooden
soles, scorning stockings, their heavy
striped silk or satin skirts held high,
displaying an deliberately embroidered
white petticoat and bare ankles. At
first thought the wide-striped skirts
were worn in imitation Of the Ameri-
can flag, until told that 1t was fash.

The women of the poorer class go
barefoot, and their skirts are abbreyi-

their hair untidy when it is not hang

masses. The women of all classes are

Another step looking toward impor-
tant concessions to Ireland was taken
when the British house of commons
passed to the first reading, by a vote
of 3O7 to "a, the bill providing for two
new universities, in which there shall
be entire absence of religious tests.
Complaint of inadequate provision for
education has been of long standing In
Ireland, but within recent years there
has been marked improvement in that
respect. Schools have increased In
number, and requirements as to at
tendance have been greatly relaxed.
Public schools are now in existence
which are open to all pupils, and no
attendant is obliged to be present at
religious exercises to which parents
or guardians object. The additional
universities. with the latitude allowed
as to religion, will, says the Troy IN.
W Times, facilitate the requirement
Of proficiency in higher education and
will obviate the necessity for Students
to 60 abroad to find what they want in
the way of collegiate training. The
effect Of such action should be most
