DRESS CRUSADE.

The French Catholic weekly, Nou-
velles Religieuses, has inaugurated a
campaign against the tpresent-day
fashion in women's dress.
For 1900 years." says our contem-
porary, the Church has protested
through the mouth of her preachers
and the. pen of her writer's against
immodest fashions For 1900 years
these preachers have deplored the flu
tility of their protests. The prophets
and the Old Law had much to say on
the subject; so also had ST. Paul w.
The writer touches the spot when
he says that neither vanity nor wan
tonness, but human respect, is the
chief reason why SO many women fol-
low the fashion of the day, whatever
form it may take. Fashion after all,
is but another name for human re-
spect. The woman who defes the cur
rent fashion defies human respect, and
is in very sooth a valiant woman.
What we need is a society formed of
such valiant women who would stand

How 1t Was Maintained.
In -Papal days the institution boast
ed Of nearly 700 inmates. The funds
which kept the aOspizio running were
drawn in great part from the Papal
exchequer, the rest chiefly coming
from the industry of the inmates. An
exhibition of the objects of art and
industry turned out by them took
place on September 90 the feast of
St Michael, each year. The Pope
sometimes honored the establishment
with a visit on this day, while Cardi-
nails and the Roman Princes frequent
Fly visited it, especially during carni-
val times, when the boys performed
theatrical pieces for the amusement
and instruction Of the community.
The change of masters in Rome has
not been propitious to the Ospizio di
San Michele. The arts and crafts that
were formerly exercised within its
walls have languished and died. 1t
was natural that they should flourish
under the old regime. The working
men and women that piled their trades
| in San Michele worked in great part
| for the needs of the Papal army, the
Papal palaces, and, above ALL for the
| churches. The churches had need of
artistic productions of various kinds,
and, in fact, San Michele supplied
| the skilled artisans who furnished
the necessary ornaments. Religion
was the force that made the institu-
| ton flourish. With the expulsion of
religion from its walls the spirit of
the place went too. Some years ago
a municipal commission published a
| report on the state of the institution,
and, although it vanished things, it
was pretty evident that the commits
sion had to lament over the decline of
what was once fiourishing home of
art and industry. Of course, it is
only to be expected that the inmates
| of the municipal establishment no
| longer have the spiritual consolation
| that made San Michele such a center
of peaceful industry before 1870 The
| daily Mass is thing of the past. The
feast of San Michele is, however, cele-
| brated there on September 20 1t is
| also celebrated in several other small
churches dedicated to the Archangel.
| St. Michael is the special patron of
| the Papal gendarmes. They solem-
nize his feast by performing a special
musical program in the Cortile di San
Damaso during the day.
