THE CARDINAL'S WARNING.
The Cardinal Patriarch of Venire, noting on the Tope's orders, recently openly .denounced the "prevailing female fashions, especially tight; skirls and transparent blouses, and threatened to expel from church all immodestly dressed women.. While the Patriarch was administering Confirmation in St. Mark's, he noticed a fashionably-dressed. Jady among the congregation wearing \an open-work blouse. The Cardinal interrupted Hie service, and sent a prelate to warn the lady that ho would not continue unless she left the church. The lady indignantly expostulated, and pointed out that there were several paintings adorning the .church representing scantily-dressed angels and martyrs, but, the prelate was not convinced by this argument, and insisted that tho lady should hide the transparency with n scarf. This she unwillingly did, and the service was resumed.
