The Dress of the Cleric.

From the Out6tter
The artistic treatment of clerical cos
tune, either in marble on canvas or in
textile fabrics, is a matter of no small
difficulty. In each art however, ii is
more easily got over when we resort to
graceful and flowing robes, which the
wearer Is entitled to assume.

sick. Aunt Jane, too, took the affair
deeply to heart, and drove Amy nearly
frantic by continually specializing as
to what Aunt Reliance would do and
say when she learned the loss of her
treasures.
At last an idea dawned upon Amy,
after fortnight of anxious thought
She wrote to Aunt Reliance, asking If
she would sell the vase and teapot.
The answer came two weeks later,
while they were all at breakfast.
Gertrude fastened to read the i'm
portant document aloud. Aunt Reli-
ance, while expressing appreciation of
Amy's very natural desire to possess
the teapot and vase, positively refused
to sell them; she would, she said, as
soon think of selling her grandfather's
bones, and wondered that Amy could
have thought her so lacking in respect
for her ancestors. She announced, in
conclusion, that having found the eli
mate of California beneficial to her
health, she had decided to remain
there permanently, and would soon
send for the box they had so kindly
stored for her.
What Amy suffered mentally dur
ing the next six weeks is best left to
the imagination.
She lost her appetite, grew pale and
thin, and was so Respondent and irri-
table, that Gertrude became anxious
about her.
This vase-teapot trouble must
come to an end" Gertrude said, one
morning, as she sat sewing in the sit
ting room, and glanced up to see Amy
gazing idly from the window. IF You
don't write to Aunt Reliance, l will
She must know it anyhow, when we
send the box, and what is the use oil
waiting?"
There's the carrier now" said
Amy, listlessly, and walked slowly out
into the hall, closing the door after

Five minutes passed, and she had
not returned Gertrude, growing anx
ious, put down her sewing, and went
out into the hall, half-expecting to
see her sister in swoon on the floor
But Amy was standing by the hat
rack, her eyes shining and flush on
her cheeks.
Saved! Saved by a miracle!" she
cried, as she waved a letter above
her head. Read this, Gertrude

"TelI me-" interrupted Gertrude, i'm

Look out! Look out there!" cried
q loud voice, and man came rushing
toward them, waving his arms fran,

Amy looked around, then up-just
in time to see large oil portrait,

they were standing, plunge forward.
The next instant there was an aW.

her ears for many a day, and the

among those hallowed relics of the
past.
For few moments she was too
much dazed to realize exactly what
had happened; then she became con-
scious that people were uttering ex-
carnations of dismay and regret, and
she felt Gertrude's hand on her arm.

trude whispered, "and the vase Is ut

They made their escape from the
hall, somehow, and hurried home.
Amy did not utter word until they
reached their own doorstep. Then
she burst out suddenly into something
very like groan.

The mornings mail brought grace
full little scented note from Mrs. De
Courcey Barristow, saying that her
modification and sorrow over the ac-
cident which had occurred was so
great that she did not feel equal just
yet to personal interview with her
dear Miss Fitzhugh.
Amy looked gloomily out of the
window.
THE vase and the teapot were the
only things broken, except hideous
jug and a decorated cup and saucer"
Gertrude continued. 1T seems like
the irony of fate. Amy, you'll have to
write to Aunt Reliance"
What am l to write her? How

These were questions Gertrude
could not answer, and in worrying
over them Amy made herself almost

ALDR|CH BILL
A Chicago University Pro
fessor Says the Author
Is Childish.
Special to The Journal.

Chicago, Feb. 7.-Prof. ]. LaWrence
Laughlin, head of the department of
political economy in the University of
Chicago, denounces the Aldrich bill in
the last issue of the Journal Of Politi-
cal Economy as a combination of pol
itics and ignorance and says it i'm
plies a naivetie on the part of con-
gress which would grace child of six,
)ut disgrace a man of sixty.
The authors of the bill fail to com
prehend," says Prof Laugh2in, THAT
in the recent crisis the inability Of the
banks to make loans To needy Dor
rowers was the difficulty which
brought on the failures in business.
The Aldrieh bill is based on the STU
pidfty of supposing that a borrower
in need cannot pay his debts with a
certified check as we'll as by bank
notes"
