American Archbishop Sees Vindi

ROME!, Dec. 20.—Will the present
generation of Italian* sea the Pope of
the Catholic Church arm In arm with
hla old foe, the Kin* of Italy, after
•a enraity lasting more than 40 yeare?
TxmX now a number of Italian Oath.
etVie maintain that a reconciliation
between the Holy Hee and the Italian
©tat© la altogerner possible and that
the startling proposal advanced by
Monslgnor Rossi Archbishop of
Udine, tending to solve the Roman
question In a way that would please
both parties Involved, Is nothing but a
good symptom of the more friendly
attitude the Vatican hae assumed to
ward the Italian Government.
In order to understand fully the
great Importance of Archbishop Ros
si's proposal, It mu*t be explained
that for 43 year# 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 ttie
5fo!y See and the Italian nation have
been anything but cordial, and not
even diplomatic Intercourse has exist
ed. Of late, however, relatione be
tween the Vatican and the Italian
Oovemmenf have become, thongh un
official. of a more friendly nature.
Following the passage of the universal
suffrage law, both the state and the
church feared the return to Ihtrlln-
fnent of a large number of Socialists
and Radicals, whose political plat
form contained a number of reforms
,|iot only against the established order
g»f things, but against the church as
•well.
An alliance between the liberals
And Clericals was deemed necessary,
and the result was that the f'lerica's
were ordered to support those can
didates who signed the so-called G*n-
tllon! agreement, muly which they
pledged themselves to oppose all leg
islation tending to Introduce divorce
Into Italy or exclude from the pri
mary school* religious teaching.
The alliance between the Catholics
• nd the liberals, besides proving 't-
•elf more than satisfactory from the
Government’s point of view, had also
the effect of opening the eyes of the
Vatican to the vast benefits which
would reirnlt from a more friendly un
derstanding between the civil and re
ligious powers of the state Arch
bishop Rossi, In the course of h1s lec
ture la Milan, aaid that one of the
ways of solving the Roman question
was to Internationalize the law guar
anteeing the sovereign rights of the
head of the church over the Leonine
City—that 1s, the Vatican and sur
rounding grounds
Proposal Mark* Epoch.
The proposal, besides representing
an epoch-making departure In Vati
can polities, Is at the same time a
recognition of the program of the
modernists. It Is remarked here that

PARIS, Dec. 20.—Christmas, which
j Is almost upon us. sees the complete
victory of the new silhouette, which
has conquered slowly but surely,
crushing all life out of our poor little
I revolt. We neither grumble, smile
nor make sarcastic comments any
longer, but are once more the meek,
willing slaves of the whims of la
j mode.
Without a murmur we are wearing
sloping shoulders, square waists, bal
loon hips and everything else which
we ridiculed and shook our heads at
six months ago.
The new line has conquered. It no
longer rules only In the clinging ma
terials of evening dresses, but every
where; In the duvetyn of the prom
enade dress, as In the velvet and
molree of the tango gown.
The new silhouette la everybody's.
You rnav even buy it ready made In
the big department stores and at
once submit to the law of transmu
tation. That is to say, that you may
buy a gown cut In such a way that
the moment vou put it on you become
Just as sloping at top, us square in
the waist and as narrow at the bot
tom as the new line demands, and.
what Is more, if you look at yourself
In the mirror you smile contentedly
and feel proud and happy to be up
to date and smart and you pretend
not to hear the thin little voice that
whisper* Into your ear; "My dear
girl, don’t you see what a monkey
you are?”
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
ballrooms.
The tango bacillus runs riot In our
veins and the bridge tables are de
serted, for It Is not only the young
people who are dancing. Oh, no!
The modern grandmother Is net old
or backward; she dances tango pas
sionately, happy at this new form of
exercise, which Is far more pleasant
than the tedious gymnastics, and the
fashionable doctor who tells his older
patients that, tango Is an Ideal pre
server of youth, I* a wise man who
knows what Is expected of him.
Jn the afternoon, then, tout le
monde Is dressed for tango. Black
predominates, but you may wear ra
ven blue, brown or elephant gray.
The skirt Is short and slashed to the
knee, because without this any move
ment would be Impossible. The waist
is made from rnallne or lace, through
which you se^ the silk ribbons of the
lingerie, and it 1s trimmed with lace
ruches or naroW fur edgings and In
the renter of your belt, which Is very
Jow, you wear an enormous velvet
flower In the strongest shade of red,
green or yellow. These fairy flowers
are le dernier crl of fashion and the
amazing speed they shoot up In the
hothouses of la mode.
To finish our tango costume, we
put on very thin silk stockings, In the
color of the gown and exceedingly
high-heeled shoes, tied with ribbons
around the ankle. Our sleeves are
short and we wear gloves to the *1-
bow, In dull light colors, and little
hags of velvet with monograms In
diamonds.
PARIS COMPLAINS STYLES

Can Not Bell Gowns in New York Because They
Are Already Known There.
Speotal Cable to The American.
PARIS, Dec. 20.—Pirating of their
latest creations, by means of photog
raphy, lg the bitter cry of the Paris
couturier© to-day. What Is to be
done to put a stop to it Is the prob
lem which Is puzzling the brains of
the leading houses of the trad© here.
The other day a delegation of the
dressmakers laid their grievances be
fore M. Hennlon, the new Prefect of
Police, th© successor to the famous
Deplne. They took th© opportunity of
asking him what he was going to do
to prevent the photographers from
carsylng on their wholesale reproduc
tions of th© dressmakers’ works of
art.
Hennlon was In a fix. He did not
see how he could interfere with the
photographic artists and th© meeting
concluded In the usual fNay of such
affairs—"put It In writing and It will
be considered."
Afterward M. Beschoff-David, a
famous couturier©, had something to
say on th© subject. Th© grievance,
he said, had been going on for a long
time. If© himself had been a suf
ferer.
"We supply models to & large num
ber of firms In America and else
where. These firms have complained
to us that our models ar© no longer
secret and have often been seen in
photographs, which go the round of
the Illustrated papers in various
countries. Some weeks ago a big
commission agent in New York sent
me back a model, th© pric© of which
was $250.
"It was no us© to him, because he
had seen a photograph of it a week
before. Afc his customers, th© New'
York dressmakers, had also seen the
photograph, they were not going to
buy th© model from him either.
"This Is why w© want to stop the
photographing of our models in
public.”

the softest of black plcot edged crepe

Over this Is a fasdnatlfig crisp lit

drapery of.black eharmeuse. This la

over In a kind of Neapolitan point,
which Is drawn Into a sheath If

bordered with gold. From this falls
a huge blue silk tassel worked In gold.
The belt Is a lovely combination of
the palest crocua yellow and shaded
drake’s-neck blue crepe, the colors
melting Into one another, while above
It rises a kimono of pale gold tulle
