COMMUNICATED
REGARDING THE FUNERAL

In a recent issue of the Herald an article appeared. the topic of which was dissension among the Polish people of the city. The arti- cIe, however. concerned itself more about the death of Wm. Miklosz and the charges contained therein about his funeral were an utter falsehood. I don't know where they obtained the news but l know that it wasn't from me or from anyone In the family. I will try to take all those charges separately and answer them.
 In the first place, the writer claims that Father Bojnowski was not at the door at any time during the time the body was resting in church. When the funeral cortege entered the doors Father Bojnow- ski was saying mass and after mass left the church and went to the rec tory. At the same time I'll answer the charge that he didn't allow the members of the society to wear badges. This is an absurd and fool
 
 the door at the time. AS far as was told me the church only allows so- cieties to wear badges and as the members are divided into camps, ono being in the parish and the other away from it. the society as such cannot participate in any re- ligious functions but as individuals they are permitted to do so.
 Secondly, in regard to the serv- ices I am satisfied with the services cumstances it was practically im- possible to give him more solemn services.
 Therefore, 1t Is nobody's business but my own and my relatives and they know the whole case and arc not complaining. A rank outsider shouldn't go to all that trouble if we are not.
 Lastly it seems to me that 1t is only a cheap one who will take an opportunity to get a chance at any enemy through a person who is dead and cannot defend himself. l con- sider that as a slander to his mem ory and I wish that the persons re- sponsible for the article would mind their own business and not try and take care of mine because l am able to do so myself. 1 don't know where they obtained some of the facts, but l know this much. that my deceased husband did not and could not belong to the party re- sponsible for the article.

from winter to spring dress has al

for several years past women have
made many sacrifices OF comfort In
wearing a fur piece with coat dress,
shivering perhaps In meeting the de-
mands Of fashion. This season the
happiest possible solution is offered
In the three-piece sports suit. In this
the frock itself is the usual one-piece
dress, or a two-piece. with the add

significant as a revival Of styles that

Sports Fashions
for Spring Wear
Frocks and Suits That Are
Desirable for Informal
Occasions.

Days gently lengthening and big
windows radiant with fresh blossoms
are insistent reminders that spring Is
here, and that we must be about the
business of assembling suitable raj
ment. 1t Is a pleasant task this year.
says a fashion writer In the New York
Times, for the models of every de-
scription present new standards Of
beauty in an entirely new order of
things in dress.
The most misleading title which
DOW attaches to clothes for women is
sports dress, the first Of the styles to
appear Originally this type Of dress
was a genuine response to the need
Of a proper and practical outfit for
athletics serviceable, comfortable
and, as earlier models are remem-
bered, often far from beautiful. The
materials were sturdy, durable home
spun, flannels, tweeds and the like,
corresponding to the easy footwear
necessary for the fashionable sports
tennis, golf and all the rest. Women
who rowed and swan, played vigorous
games, climbed mountains and hiked
across country dressed for each sport
according to its requirements, giving
thought to their appearance largely in
relation to the game. That first sports
costume in whatever form was
husky affair, something more man.
nish than anything else, and was
wholly outside the province Of the
fashionable couturier. In the light of
today's fashions that primitive sports
suit, the sort Of dress a woman wore
for those occasions, never by any
chance could have appeared at any
other time.
Costume Is Different.
All that has changed with the years,
during which sports dress has come
through a number of stages of devel-
Opment. establishing by marked de-
grees a distinct type Of costume that
differs wholly from everything that
was once thought to belong to an out
flt for one in the social world. This
began to come about when Paris,
which SO long persisted In ignoring
the tailleur and everything that we
now mean by sports dress, entered the
progressive scheme of things and be-
gan to create the clothes that the
younger set demanded. Each differ
ent phase, presented somewhat tenta-
lively, has been interesting and the
designs more chic and more artistic
each season, so that these costumes
have come to be worn not only for
sports but for almost every other
possible occasion except of the strict
est formality. Even handsome after
noon gowns and some for evening
wear-the sort of dress that Is seen nc
smart restaurants, at the play and in
Vulnerable relatively informal affairs
are built upon lines that are basic
ally sports models.
This story of sports dress is en-
gaging and important because Of its
influence on all styles for women and
because it has absorbed the interest
Of artists and their clientele far more
than any other feature In the fashion
able wardrobe. Now, at the spring
season for both town and country,
sports dress is a dominating topic of
interest and in the latest models pre-
sents many novelties.
First Of all there is the recognition
given the women's sports dress to H.
lustrate the new and more feminine

Out Of the Flood

Misery, grief and economic ruin, in
multiple forms, are the flotsam and
ietsam of the narrowing Mississippi
River food, which, too, must have
taught again the truth that man and
~ creations OF his mind are but weak
resses personihed when wind and
water turn in anger against him.
Out OF the food has come the truth
that misery is no respecter Of persons
that Negro jewellers whom economic
and social customs forced over on the
river front streets, like boomerang
are now forced back upon the state
md municipality as burden, which
At least. might have been lighter had
Justice prevailed more strongly in the
days before the food.
Out Of the food there should have
come a new vision Of the futility Of
man. as compared with God; that after
all man is made Of clay, and, whether
black or white, faces God as dust
nothing more.
Even before the food subsidized, a
mob-not out Of the food-resurrect-
ed itself near Little Rock, Ark, and
made the world know that the food
had not washed away the spirit Of
cowardice.
H. out Of the food, there came a
new dawn of a new brotherly love. a
new reciprocal respect, new regard
for the Fatherhood of God, then
these would atone for the fearful loss
Of life and property, Of hopes and am
billions. The gain would outweigh the
loss.
The clamoring mob, though, still
lives in the flooded areas. Bigotry and
intolerance have survived the food
All that it brought was misery and
woe; and for those beset by all the
plaques we have named-those of be-
fore as well as during and after the
food, we shall ever humbly pray.
