Grotesque Fashions In England In the
Eighteenth Century.
Dandyism developed u new phase Of
quiet richness during early Georgian
times. and the court eXQuisites were
stately figures in finely laced shirts,
long skirted coats and gold clocked
stockings The hats worn by the
beau were modified reproductions of
those in fashion at Versailles. and the
art Of wearing them was shown in
the tilt In fact, different angles in
the tilt identified the wearer's status
and locality.
In 1TT2 dandyism became again par
amount. A band Of young blOOds re-
turned from m extended tour abroad.
and while in Italy they had contrived
to get several new ideas about dress
into their somewhat empty heads.
Fired with an ever growing sense of
their own importance as arbiters OF
fashion, they formed themselves into a
group known as the Macaroni club. in
contradistinction 10 the good old fash
Toned Beefsteak club Of London.
The Macaronies dressed their hair
in enormous side curls. with a hideous
knocker-like twist at the back. With
this exaggerated couture a tiny hat
was worn, which It was correct for
the wearer to raise with his tasseled
cane
4 soft white handkerchief was tied
In a huge bow under the MacaronTs
chin. His coat was short. and his
tight knee breeches were made Of
striped or lowered silk. Thus CARRIED
with innumerable dangling seals. two
watches at least. silk stockings and
diamond buckled shoes. the dandy
walked abroad eminently satisfied
with himself and quite convinced that
his appearance was greatly envied.-

will I do? He has a good home and
don't feel disposed TO marry right
away, but he wants me 20. OF course,
I need a home I am not very strong
and have TO have a doctor a great
deal. Now, what would you advise
me to do? He has no bad habits, but
don't feel as if l wanted to marry
him. He is 60 years old. What would
you advise me to do? PEARL.
I might say the same to you as to
Lima" However, II he is a good man
and you are at all fond of him, why
not marry him?
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am in love
with a young man here. l met him
some time ago and at first he seemed
to care very much for me, but Of late
he doesn't seem TO care SO much for
me as he did. We have now broken
up and he just speaks to me. | have
always been ladylike in his presence
and don't see what have done to Of
fend him.
Please tell me what l can do to re-
gain his love. l think he still loves
me. He is very bashful, which may
account for it. There must be some
misunderst landing. WORRIED.
Next time you see him, my dear,
walk up to him and ask him, very seri-
ously, if you have done anything he
thinks wrong. Tel him that YOU value
him as a friend and if you have un-
knowingly done anything to hurt him.
you are sorry, but you would like TO
know what it is so that it could not
happen again.
But if he is just a "touchy" sort of
person easily offended, better let him
90. You will never be happy with
that kind of 4 man Also, if he tells
YOU that nothing is the matter, make
up your mind that he is just tired of
YOU and forget him.

Crop Breeders association and the

is nearly completed, and the COM
mittees of the Commercial club,
which had to guarantee a certain
amount of premiums, feel that they
have been very well received. Not
over half dozen persons approach
ed in the entire city have refused to
give anything. The business men
have done splendidly, in the opinion
of the officers of the Commercial

LENTEN REGULATIONS FOR THE
~ ! YEAR 1913
By Bishop P. R. Heffrbn, Winona

and abstinence, counsel should be
asked from confessors or pastors
who are authoritative interpreters
of the law, and who even are en-
powered in special cases for good
and sufficient reasons, indicated or
suggested in Catholic theology, to
commute the precepts of fasting and
abstinence to other penetentlal
works.
In enjoining upon the faithful the
precepts of fast and abstinence, Holy
Church is mindful of the evangelical
law of self-denial, Of which the
Savior and his apostles were, by
example and by word, most eminent
teachers. Without self-denial there
is no Christianity. Indeed without
self-denial there is no natural NOR
atty The man who has not -
quired by habit the power of self
restraint will not be victorious over
sin amid the storms and temptations
of life which all are compelled to
encounter.
! The observance of the fasts and
abstinences prescribed by the church
is taken as a public and fearless
profession of Catholic faith. He
who, without sufficient and obvious
reason, eats meat or takes his usual
meals when abstinence CT fast is en-
Joined, becomes an occasion of scan
dial, and is not accepted as practi-
cal Catholic.
Let Catholics, therefore, have the
courage of self-denial for the sake
of Christ and of their own souls,
and be on their Iard lest by their
acts scandal be given, and the fair
name of their religion be dishon'
ored.
During Lent, pastors will hold spe
Gal exercises of devotion in their
several churches al appointed times.
Instructions of a practical character
upon the Christian duties, the nature
of the sacraments, and the prepare
ton for their reception, should be
given on those occasions.
The devotion of the Way Of the
| Cross will be observed, if at all
possible, in all churches and chapels
on the Friday evenings throughout
Lent.
