GREATNESS-IN-
ENGLAND'S
PEACE.
FATHER VAUGHAN'S TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Preaching at Farms Street Church, on July 27th., Father Vaughan said that the Zimes, in two quile adraivable leaders, had been reminding them that the whole world was waiting to see if the England , which had been so greas in wair was going to be as great in peace. It was discipline, comradeship, and work that had made her great in war, and they were the con- stituent elements of Englantis greatress in potter. That was the triple alianco in which alone they could put their trust, It had beaten into the tust the "proud ailianer, tight, Kultur, and Frigorful. DUSS What was it going to achieve in the Dear future at home? They had a leader in their King, whs was no worker in a seven-hour shift, but a worker for his people night and day.
1 the old country families, too,' they had a section of the community, who were driven to work early and late in order to make £3.000 d duty for £10,000 -for what with income and super-taxes and local rates and depreciation of money. their inque haul contracted to one-third what it was in pre-war days.
15 may instance they had less to spend than skilled workers at Birmingham, Sheel, and Middlesbrough, and uther centres uf industry. The gentry of England were weither le Barrich,
Continuing, Father Vaughan said he thought his brothers, the hand-workers. might do well to turn their eyes to what was being done by thank-fanrities which, say what they pleased, had helped in no small measure to build England's greatness. They had freely given, like the wage earners, if all they had to keep the old flag flying. He claimed to know the the band-worker pretty intimately, and if only he were as reliable in his organi sed as in his individual expacity, we could wish for nothing better. They are true as afert-but unfortunately they are badly he censeadet. It. Avonli

PERSONALITY IN CLOTHES. THE CULT OF INDIVIDUAL FANCY.
An eye that is steadfast amid political vagaries may well view with alarm a sex that discards all fashion, asserting a re- solute determination to dress according to individual style and taste. In London, we are told, many women are designing their own frocks and a well-known magazine illustrator bag established a dress-making studio in which she designs. Kowas that are warranted to express the individuality of the wearer and nothing also. Her success is said to be astonish ing. It may well. There, as abroad, women have occasionally had some such idea, and the result is generally conceded in be astonishing.
It is not that the individual gown is inartistic. Usually it is as beautiful in- trinsically, the prevailing fashion- which is not always, however, great praise. Often it is. absolutely beautiful.) And yet the effect is not likely to be! what one might. have imagined. Is it poesible that something may be said for fashion. The costura of the Greeks, which is generally held up as the most beautiful the world has knowo, was not merely Ishion; it. was in effect a ani) form. We shall never absolutely know, but we may plausibly assume that if an Achaia were advised by Polonius to make his apparel proclaim the man in him he would consider the advice no better than its restless and busybody source
RRAL. TEMPERAMENT.
The art of personality--which is to way the art of living-is the greatest of affarts; and of all the materials it finds at band the least expressive is probably clothes. A temperament that finds ade quate expression in silk and satín, ribbon and jewel, is of the most limited scope, little above the Indian brave, Any one with real temperament, and any considerable repertory in expressing it, would probably prefer to make his clothes as inconspicuous, as unexpressive, as pos sible mere conventional background for the play of voice and eye, gestare and the spoken word. That women allow their fashions to be changed so often and run to such extreme, may possibly indi este-weakness; but the fact that when a fashion is once upon them they adhere to it rigidly is a manifest virtue. Not to do so is to make themselves conspicuous on the least desirable place.
THE CHAOTIC MASA.
In the California of 1835 Richard Henry Dana found only one white woman who wore a bat, the young bride of a Yankee skipper, who had imported the headpiece with great pride from Boston. The Spanish gentlewomen wore silver combs with a mantillo above them." No doubt that bridal hat was in the best atyle of 1835; but to the young sailor before the mast it seemed, in comparison with the conventional gear of the Spanish Indies, only "a chaotic mass of ribbon and straw. What better could say of the garments of modern women appear to the instinctively artistic Greck,
Ip the war into eventuate in "in- dividual dressing, it has been fought in vain, at least sartorially. At present the best-dressed creature in the world is the male, small praise, though that be. If women are to light the way, to better things, as we all hope and pray, it will, not be by z mad wagging of ladividual fancies but by a sober reversion toward the simplicity and severity of their, war work daya, in which they were uniformly adorable...
