Anti Catholic Feeling in London.

The procession of Catholic prelates and
clergy in London Sunday, which was ex-
pected to result in tumult and possibly
riot, passed off without great disorder.
As the result of negotiations between
representatives of the Catholic party and
the government compromise was reach
ed whereby the procession was permit
ted but the host was not carried and the
vestments were not worn. Many thou
sands of people gathered to witness the
spectacle. A body guard of Catholic
peers surrounded the papal legate. Cardi

any attack. Only groans and "boos"
were offered, which were answered by
cheers. The Protestant Alliance had
made objection to the demonstration.
The Catholic clergymen openly proclaim
ed the movement to be one in behalf of
bringing England back to the papacy.

Eight Gorcd skirt !.

The gored skirt that is relieved of
severity by some arrangement of
pleats at front and back is among the
very latest to have appeared. This
one is charmingly graceful, yet quite
simple, and is adapted both to the
house and to street wear The prin-
cesse style will be a favorite one for
q long time to come, and is much to
be commended wherever it is found
becoming, but there are figures to
which the one of regulation kind is
better suited and the skirt can be cut
off at the waist line and finished with
belt if desirable. In the illustration
serge is finished simply with a
stitched band Of the material and
with handsome buttons on the front
panel. All fashionable materials that
are heavy enough to be made in SO
simple style are appropriate, how
ever.
The skirt is cut in eight cores. The
back gore is arranged to form a box
pleat and the front gore is laid in
pleats that give the box pleat effect
and conceal the seams.

for the medium size is twelve yards
