CAPITAL AS CENTER OF CATH
OLIC EDUCATION.

In time Washington will be the great
Roman Catholic educational center of
the United States. The head of the
Franciscan order, heretofore in New
York city, is to come to Washington
during the fall, making the third
novitiate to be located by the side of
the Catholic university, and the new
Trinity college for women will make
the fourth The other novitiates are
the House of the Paulist society and
the Holy Cross college, the latter the
novitiate of the University of Notre
Dame, Indiana, to be opened September
and to be dedicated in October with
elaborate ceremonies. In no section of
the United States are the Roman Cath
olics so numerous as in Washington
and the country around it. Maryland
was settled by the Catholics, and those
who have come after Lord Baltimore
have kept the old faith with a resolute-
ness which is quite astonishing, con-
sidering the falling away from early
religious traditions and beliefs which is
a part of the history of Protestant
colonial settlements. Had New Eng
land, for instance, been as true to pur-
itanism and the form of belief which
grew out Of it as Maryland has been to
Roman Catholicism, New England
would today be the controlling spirit
of the Protestant Evangelical religious
world of the western hemisphere. In
stead of this however, she is chiefly
distinguished in more recent religious
history as having given birth to mod
em Unitarianism and Universalism, to
say nothing of agnosticism in some OF
it's more alluring forms.

in the Liverpool and New York service
OF the company in 1874, and travelled
1,750,000 miles without renewal of
engines or boilers; was under steam
$4,000 hours and under way 100000
hours; burned $4,000 tons of coal, and
her engines up to that time had made
350,000,000 revolutions Pretty good
for ship originally pronounced un-
lucky, and so good that the record has
never been equaled. And the Britain
mic is running yet. The luck of a ship,
good or bad, depends more or less on
those who are running her.
The Daphne was slated as another
unlucky boat, and sailors wouldn't go
in her for a time. She was an English
steamer, and capsized the day of her
launch, drowning 1874 persons She
could not have done much worse if she
went down in the middle of the ocean ;
but she was raised and is now known
as the Elem. She is as tight and COM
Portable as a drumhead today, and
hasn't met with an accident in years.
The pilot-boat Sommer N. Smith was
considered another hoodoo, because at
her launch she misbehaved, on Mem
orial day, 1896. Mrs. Margaret Plant,
widow of the steamship man, was
chosen to christen the vessel, then on
the ways Of the Newport News Ship
building company. The boat listed to
port in going overheard, and the water
poured into her deck, and many
jumped overheard in fright when the
craft careened. Two persons were
drowned. 1t was the first and last mis-
hap to the boat, which has been earn
ing money ever since.
The launching of the IL, 950-ton Eng
fish battleship at Blackwell on June 81
Of last year was attended with the
drowning Of q spectators, who were
swept away by the back water that
surged against the 80 feet of staging
on which they were standing.
SO 1t is in any number of other cases,
even to Fall River liner. The mod
erL sailor does not believe all the yarns
he hears, and is not nearly as supersti-
tious as his old-time shipmates. I'm
lucky ships at the start are 70 longer

fortunate vessels in the end-New

A MID LOVE
- BY
Continued.


There was some little disappolnt-
ment to Lady Marion; like all girls she
had thought great deal OF her mar
rage. She had always fancied IL IN
the grand old church at ErSkine, where
the noble ancestors OF her race were
buried.
She had wondered so much why the
countess desired the wedding TO take
place in Paris She had even one Day
ycntured to ask her, and Lady Lans-
well answered first by kissing hef,
then by telling her that 1t was best TOT
Lord Chandos. That was quite enough
to content the loving heart, III IL were
better for him In any way. she ana
not inquire why. She would sacrifice
any wish or desire of her own.
SO the day of the wedding came, ana
a grand ceremonial 1t was The mob
lest and most exclusive English IN
Paris attended 1t, and everything was
afte the wish OF Lady LansweIFs
heart. There had never been falrer
or more graceful bride. There had
never been handsomer or more gal

the Countess of LansweIl and made her
remember the day with keen sense OF

THE SLANTING WAIST LINE.
Walk Right and There Will Be No
Need to Pin Belts.

AS everyone knows, the slanting
waist line is the proper thing in these
days. The Stanislaus girl would have
made it popular if it had not already
made the Stanislaus girl popular, for
it so improves the figure and lessons
the apparent size of the waist that
woman must be blind not to see its
advantages. Contrast any one of the
oldfashioned women, whose waist
was often shorter in front than in the
back, or even one whose belt knew no
deviation as it enslants for confirma-
ton of this assertion-but, and here
comes the usual difficulty with eX-
tremists, there is really no necessity
for placing the belt half way up the
back in order to obtain that slant.
That's what many women do, how
ever They place their grdles at
least two or three inches above the
waist line in the back and then draw it
down about to the waist proper in
front, by dint of which manipulation
they manage to obtain slant" which
makes them look more than a trife
deformed.
The slanting waist line on woman
who holds herself according to the
laws prescribed by health and beauty,
and whose figure is normal, arranges
itself. There is no trick about it and
the belt ought to require neither pins,
nor hooks, nor screws to keep it in
position The waist itself slaats-
therefore the girde must The lat
ter should not be worn too tight, how
ever, if the effect is to be of the best.

CHAPTER XXXV.

Leone was alone when the letter Of
the Countess OF Lanswell was delivered
to her She had been wondering For
some days why no news came from
Lord Chandos why he did not write.
She had written most urgent and
affectionato letters to him. praying for
news OF him, telling him how bravery
and happily she was bearing the sep
aration from him, only longing 10
know something Of him.
Tho warm. sultry month of August
had set In, and she was working hard
as ever; there was but one comfort to
her In this long nbsence--thc longer he
was away from her, the moro At she
