with the bank buildings running al
around The reader may well wonder
how, right in the heart Of the city
where land is probably more valuable
than anywhere else in the world, this
garden came into existence.
The history OF the matter is rather
curious. This quaint old garden is in
reality the churchyard of the vanished
church Of st. Christopher-le-St
called because of its proximity to the
Stock market (fish and fiesh), which
formerly stood where the Mansion
house is today. ST. Christopher's was
pulled down in 1881. when the banB
was being enlarged, and the garden
of today is its old churchyard. 1t is
said that one cause of the demolition
of the church was the fear lest II
should ever be occupied by rioters tc
the danger of the bank, the premises
of which were completely overlooked
from its tower-fear which was doubt
less intensified by the NO Popery'
riots Of 1870. when. it way be remem
bered, some of the rioters marched tc
the bank and tried to break in.

And there is punishment to be en-

and you will detect punishment every

is on the street car or on the road.
How many ways there are to punish

FLESHY WOMAN FINDS FAULT
Has Not Good Word to Say for
Frocks or Millinery Of
This Season.
JULIA 8oTToMLEY,

It is interesting to note the. ANNA
ton with which women. or rather
some women. attack the present
styles. It Is invariably the woman Of
flesh who is the most emphatic in dis
approval. Not good word is to be
said by her for frocks or millinery of
this season.
Hats are imprudently absurd, skirts
immodestly cut. jackets trivial, and
even the efforts of great dressmakers
dubbed futile and unconvincing, as she
tells it. 1t is a season. according to
the woman whose hips refuse to re-
move themselves. of grotesque absur.
dities. The hysterical note is struck.
So why argue?
Whether we argue or not. certain
things must be acknowledged. The
present fashions in some directions
have reached such perfection that to
condemn them is ridiculous. to ignore
them impossible. So let us forget the
fact that our too comfortable contours
refuse brazenly to confine themselves
within the slim limits of the present
silhouette and see IL we cannot judge
of the fashions of the day with an
unbiased eye, if not with entirely un-
trammeled hips.
In spite of criticism and caricature
they may alone be called epoch ma
king. Line and drapery have clothed
themselves in such artistic grace:
color and fabric have attained such
perfection of combination and weave
that they take their places with fam.
GUS fashions of other days.
They are in great measure re-
vivals. yet REVEALS so skillfully adapt
ed to our needs and environment that
they are accepted with enthusiasm by
the intelligent few. The lover of color
and line rejoices in their existence
the beauty-loving eye revels in their
softly woven and luxurious fabrics.
The great dressmakers have gath
cred from the Greeks and Romans
from Egyptians and Orientals. from
the Alexandrian and first empire pc
RODS fashions. fabrics. and colors
which, when combined and crystal
lized, place the styles of this season
