ROME. Div. 20 -Will the present |
*en*ration of Italian# see the Pope of
the Catholic Church arm 1n arm with
his old foe. the King of Italy, after
an enmity lasting more than 40 years?
.hast now a number of Italian Cath.
f'.YcM maintain that a reconciliation
between the Holy See end the Italian
stats 1a altogerrvcr possible: and that
the startling proposal advanced hy
Monsignor Rossi Archbishop of
Udine, tending to solve the Roman
question in a way that would please
both parties Involved, is nothing Lut a
good symptom of the more friendly
attitude the V atican haa assumed to
ward the Italian Government.
In order to understand fully ’he
great Importance of Archbishop Roa
m's proposal, it must be explained
that for 43 years the Holy See has
uninterruptedly claimed that Rome
belongs to the Pope and that no pow
er could take the city away from the
Vicar of Christ on earth without com
mitting an act of political piracy.
Relations More Friendly.
Consequently, relations between th* %
holy See and the Italian nation have
been anything but cordial, and not
even diplomatic Intercourse has exist
ed Of late, however, relations be
tween the Vatican and the Italian
Government have become, though un
official. of a more friendly nature.
Following the passage of the universal
miffrage law. both the state and the
church feared the return to Parlia
ment of a large i. umber of Socialists
and Radicals, whose political plat
form contained * number of reforms
Dot only against the established order
of things, but against the church a*
Well.
An alliance between the Liberals
and Clerical# was deemed necessary,
and the reeult was that the < ’lexica's
were ordered to support those can
didates who signed the so-called Gen-
tlloni agreement, under whi< h they
ptbdged themselves to oppose all leg
islation tending to Introduce divorce
Into Italy or exclude from the pri-
marv achooto religious teaching.
The alliance hot ween the Catholl'8
and the Liberals, beside* proving it
self more than satisfactory from the
Government'* point of view, had also
the effect of opesning the eyes of the
Vatican to the vast benefits which
would result from a more friendly un
derstanding between the civil and re
ligious powers of the state. Arch
bishop Rossi. In the course of his lec
ture in Milan, said tliat one of the
ways of solving the Roman*question
was to internationalise the law guar
anteeing the sovereign rights of the
head of the church over the Leonine
City—that is, the Vatican and sur

„ We are all In black, filmy, breezy
black silk in the afternoon now in or
der not to get overheated In the hot
rooms where we drink tea or dance,
in private houses or one of the nu
merous restaurants made into tango
ballroopis.
The tango bacillus runs riot in our
veins and the bridge tables are de
serted, for If is not only the young
people who are dancing Oh, no!
The modern grandmother Is iMH old

than the tedious gymnastics, and the

patients that tango Is an ideal pre

knows what is expected of him. V
In the afternoon, then, tout le

predominates, but yoif may wear ra

The skirt Is short and slashed to the
knee, because w ithout this any move

is made from maline or lace, through
which you the silk ribbons of the

flower In the strongest shade of red,
green or yellow. These fairy flowers
are le dernier crWof fashion and the
amazing speed they shoot up in the
hothouses of la mode.
To finish our tango costume, we
pur on very thirt silk stockings, in the
color of the gown and exceedingly
high-heeled shoe^ tied with ribbons
around the ankle. Our sleeves are
short and we wear gloves to the el
bow, in dull light colors, and little
bags of velvet with monograms in
diamonds.

BLACK (HARMEU5E COSTUME I

Special Cable to The American.
LGNDON, Dec. 20.—Nearly every
smart dressmaker in London is busy
creating tango gowns, and some of
tha prettiest are being made for sev
eral young actresses for private wear.
One which has Just been made for
Miss Mabel Russell is charming as
well as original. It is fashioned of
black charmeuae, split up a little in
the front, and has an immensely long
train which springs from the back
and side and tapers to the narrowest
point possible.
This long train is caught up to the
hand with a little Joop and has a
wonderfully graceful effect with the
swing and dip of the figure when the
wearer Is dancing. It is lined with
the softest of black picot edged -crepe
de chine, which is a very Important
point, as naturally the doublur is
much in evidence.
Over this is a fascinating crisp lit
tle crinoline tunic of gold net, worked
in a handsome design of gold foil,
edged with gold lace. The little tunic
stands well out on either side, parting
in the center, while over it is drawn a
drapery of black charmeuse. This is
caught up under the belt and turned
over In a kind of Neapolitan point,
which Is drawn into a sheath if
bright drake's-neck blue plaited skirt,
bordered with gold. From this falls
a huge blue silk tassel worked In gold.
The belt is a lovely combination of
the palest crocus yellow and shaded
drake’s-neck blue crepe, the colors
melting into one another, while above
it rises a kimono of pale gold tulle
over blonde lace sleeves.

PARIS, Deo. 20.—- Pirating of their
latest creations, by means of photog
raphy. in the bitter cry of the Paris
couturier© to-day. What is to be
done to put a stop to it Ls the prob
lem which is puzzling the brains of
the leading houses of the trade here.
The other day a delegation of the
dressmakers laid their grievances be
fore M. Hennion, the new Prefect of
Police, the successor to the famous
Lepine. They took the opportunity of
asking him what he was going to do
to prevent the photographers from
carrying on their wholesale reproduc
tions of the dressmakers' works of
art.
Hennion was In a fix. He did not
see how he could interfere with the
photographic artists and the meeting
concluded in the usual way of such
affairs -“put It In writing and it will
be considered.*’
Afterward M. Beschoff-Darld, a
famous eouturiere, had something to
say on the subject. The grievance,
he said, had been going on for a long
time He himself had been a suf
ferer.
*We supply models to a large num
ber of firms In America and else
where. These firms have complained
to us that our models are no longer
secret and have often been seen in
photographs, which fro the round of
the Illustrated papers in various
countries. Home weeks ago a big
commission agent In New York sent
me back a model, the price of which
was $250.
'14 was no use to him, because he
had seen a photograph of it a week
before. As his customers, the New
York dressmakers, had also seen the
photograph, they were not going to
buy the model from him either.
“This is why we want to stop the
photographing of our models in
public.”
