CLERGYMEN'S ATTIRE. SPL It may seem a small matter, but it is nevertheless one of the most important, and at the same time most difficult questions for a clergyman to determine, How shall I dress? A wide latitude is allowed to the laity on this subject, who may, if they please, indulge their own peculiar taste in the matter of dress, whether it accords with the prevailing style or not. But not so with the clergy. They must dress in a manner distinctive from other men, and in keeping with their sacred calling. And how to do this successfully, how to strike the happy medium between the secular and the ultra clerical in this matter of their dress, is where the difficulty lies. Three things are necessary to a good clerical garment. First, the material should always be plain black goods of fine quality. Second, it should be cut in a style, modest, unpretentious, and gentlemanly, with just sufficient fulness in front, and length in the skirts, to indicate the wearer's profession. And Third, the fit should always be close and as near perfect as possible, for no matter how fine the goods, or how clerical the cut, if the garment is not a good fit it is an eyesore, and a cause of constant discomfiture to the wearer. Now many years of experience in this branch of our business have given us a familiarity with the wants of clergymen in this matter of dress that has proved of great service to our patrons; and we shall be pleased to give to all who may favor us in the future the benefit of our best judgment on the subject. Our large experience and extensive facilities enable us to give entire satisfaction, not only as regards the style and quality of the garments themselves, but also as to the reasonableness of the prices. On application a set of samples will be forwarded to any Clergyman in the U. S., with full instructions for self-measurement. The samples will be of goods which will cost, when made up, from $20 to $50. P. S.-Samples also sent and orders received for all kinds of Gentlemen's Clothing at the lowest possible prices. QUARTERLY REVIEW. THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC QUARTERLY REVIEW is issued regularly in January, April, July, and October. EACH NUMBER CONTAINS 192 pages, large octavo, printed from legible type, on fine white paper. SUBSCRIPTION, $5.00 per annum, payable in advance, or $1.25 a single copy. Postage free to all parts of the U. S. The Editorial Department is conducted by Very Rev. James A. Corcoran, D.D. It is DESIGNED that the American Catholic Quarterly Review shall be of the highest character that can be given it by the educated Catholic mind of the United States and of Europe. It is NOT PROPOSED that it shall be confined to the discussion of theological subjects, but that it shall embrace within its scope all subjects of interest to educated Catholics, whether philosophical, historical, scientific, literary, or political-using the latter term in its original and proper meaning. Partisan politics, or politics in the popular sense of the word, it is scarcely necessary to say, will be rigidly excluded. THE MOST LEARNED and scholarly writers that can be secured will be enlisted in support of the Review as regular and occasional contributors; and every effort will be made by its conductors to render it an able and efficient auxiliary to the Church in her warfare against modern error. Subscriptions respectfully solicited. Address, POST-OFFICE Box, 2465, HARDY & MAHONY, 505 CHESTNUT STREET, PHILADELPHIA. SUBSCRIPTION, $5.00 PER ANNUM, PAYABLE IN ADVANCE.
