THE coRsAeE BOUQUET.

A report from Paris announces that
the passion for unDroken lines in WON
ems garmenting has gone TO such ex-
tent that during the coming season
not even so much as a bouquet VIII
be permitted TO mar the symmetrical
simplicity Of the gown. She that
would have a show OF flowers about
her must content herself with such as
embroidery about the waist-iine can
simulate. Suggestion adds that slen-
der girls may weave whole garlands
OF silken blooms about tdem, but
those OF a plumpness mustfbe content
with a delicate spray. Should this
edict hold sway for any considerable
period, there viii PASS away from ro-
nance and from dramas one of the
most useful as well as beautiful Of
their Joint properties. Hardly any
thing Of maiden's drese has been so
often remembered by lovers and de-
scribed by novelists and poets as the
corsage bouquet In days OF old,
when real flowers we're worn. the bou-
quet was generally gift Of the ador-
ing one. If the lady wore 1t. all was
well II she did not. either the I'M
scrupulous duenna had stolen II or
the end OF sweet love was at hand.
Even when artificial bouquets came in
there was a chance for love to use It
as a token and for beauty to wear 1t
as a sign. IL was something about
feminine dress a man could recognize
at sight

.DEPOSE DR.. LESTER
FOR WRITING BOOK
Bishop Webb Dismisses Former
Milwaukee Divine.
IDEAS CALLED HERETIcAL
Well Known Episcopal Clergyman.
Author of The Historic Jesus"
Removed at Own Request-Revok-
ing of Vows Causes Surprise.

Milwaukee.-The Rev DIR. Charles
Stanley Lester, for more than twenty
one years rector OF St. Paul's Episco-
pal church in this city and one of the
best known clergymen of his denom-
ination in America, has been formal
ly deposed from the ministry by
Bishop w. w. Webb as a result of
bis books and pamphlets on theo-
logical subjects, which were deemed
contrary to church policy by the au-
thorities of the Episcopal church.
His deposition, it is said, came at
his own request, and though formal
action was taken by Bishop Webb on
May 20, news of this radical action
cid not become known except to the
clergy until Thursday.
The reasons for his dismissal from
the ministry are given as his writings
against the Christian church and the
recent publication of a book which
1t is held to be contrary to the teach
ihgs of every church, "heretical,
tanatical and agnostic to all the re-
iigious principles and teachings of
the Christian church of the world
The Historic Jesus" which is the
title of the book, is an attack on the
church of Christ in general and is the
result of many years Of study and
research into the history of the Chris
tan church. 1t he's had a tremen-
dous sale all ovel the world since its
publication two years ago and has
been received by atheists and nonbe-
levers as true portrayal of the con-
ditions existing in the church of
Christ ever since its founding
