JEFFERSON built his fine old mansion,
Monticello, piecemeal, beginning with
brick wing of the house. Nearly ev-
erything used in its construction had
to be brought from afar, the window
sashes, for instance, coming from Lon
don, and one lot being delayed month
for the putty to harden. Many of the
residents of the country roundabout
the historic house are descendants of
the mechanics who were imported from
Europe to work on it.

A VERY affecting scene was witnessed
on the New Orleans river front the
other afternoon when four Sisters of
Charity took leave of their friends and
associates and boarded the steamer
Paul Tulane, bound for the Louisiana
leper colony, where they will spend
the remainder of their days caring for
Louisiana's scourge-stricken people.
All are volunteers. There are now 81
lepers in the colony. 1t is estimated
that there are about 70 more in the
state, many of whom are in hiding.
Since the sisters have taken charge it
is thought that most of these will join
the colony.
