ostrich fans give way this season to
graceful models made Of eagle quilts.
Slippers, too, are featured in satin
and kid, white, black or In colors to
match the dress with ribbon lacings in
Grecian style or crossed straps that
firmly hold the foot. Stockings, not to
be outdone by slippers, have exquisite
open-work designs, daintily embroi-
dered or are made of heavy silk;
oftentimes white stockings are worn
with black slippers.
So far-reaching is the dance fad, if
we may call it fad, having lasted two
seasons, 1t is difficult to lose the spirit
even in the daytime. Only this week,
at belated opening of a large depart

Paquin and Worth pay homage to the
dance.
In the large auditorium, crowded to
its utmost capacity, it is interesting to
note the enthusiasm with which the
short, full-skirted, tight-bodiced frocks
are received. Beer offers youthful
dress in black taffeta, shirred and
flounced with enchanting pulled
sleeves; it's somber hue is in direct
contrast with the fairness of the wear

their uneven outline at the bottom !;

slippers black. Her rose gown is un-

Line the pie tin with pastry. Put
in the berries, mix we'll the flour and

Roll the balance of the pastry about
one-half an inch thick. Spread with
butter, much as you would piece of

to desired thickness. Cut into strips
and place across the pie about one
inch apart, both ways, crossing to

circle completely around the cake
about one and one-half inches from

may be kept fresh and served at an

Place the circle of cake thus formed
on a chop plate and fill the center
with berries heaped high.

Bake thirty minutes in a medium
oven.
Serve either hot or cold. If allowed
to stand remove to plate.

CROWN OF THoRNs.

Though the words thorns, briars
and thistles have very indefinite
meaning, not only in scripture, but
also in modern nomenclature, we are
quite certain as to the identity Of the
plants used to make the Crown of
Thorns. The spinous plant used was
undoubtedly the shrub known to bot
anists of our day as Ziphus Spina
Christi. 1t was formerly considered a
buckthorn, and included by Linnaeus
in the genus Rhamnus. The plant is
common in Syria, and is a native of
the East, where it sometimes grows
to the height of twenty feet.
There is an opinion-not very preva.
lent, however-that the plant from
which the Crown of Thorns was made
may have been another common spi.
nous plant of the East. Poterium
Symposium, but neither tradition nor
fact is in it's favor. This plant is
rather small, with PROSTATE stems
never two yards long and not rising
high above the ground. There is no
science in which names have been so
conservatively and unchangeably held
to as botany previous to the eigh.
teenth century, and the very name of
the plant-Spina Christi, as it was
known before this time, and ever
since-suggests it's identity.
Of &.
toned among the relics discovered
by st. Helena on Mount Calvary, nor
are others, such as the holy tunic, for
the crown passed from the hands of
the soldiers into the possession of one
of our Lords disciples. St. Paulinus
first refers to it's existence in a letter
to Macarius, and later on we hear of
it from St. Gregory of Tours. Robert,
Count of Flanders, speaks of the relic
in the year 100. 1t was given by
Baldwin II to st. Louis of France in
1898. The following year it went to
Sens, and was kept in special chapel,
where it remained until the French
revolution. After the restoration of
peace, it was solemnly transferred, in
1906, to the Church of Notre Dame,
Paris.
In 1896, when the crown was placed
in a new reliquary, it was photo
graphed, and at the time competent
persons established the identity of the
plants COMPOSING it. It consists Of q

gether by stems of the common rush
identified as Juncus balticus), which
grows throughout northern Asia, Eu.
rope and America, and is abundant in
the Holy Land. The whole crown is
about seven inches in diameter.
The thorny plant is no longer so
abundant in the crown itself as for.
merly, because pieces have been taken
as relics to various other places, the
principal being at Pisa, Treves and
Weveighem, in the diocese of Bruges
Belgium. All these relics show thorns
very unlike those of the plant called
POterium spfnosum, which are often
much branched. and therefore there
can be little doubt as to the identity
of the plant of which the Crown Of
Thorns was made.
