There was an exciting exchange of

claring the girl to be a Protestant, and
having no desire to see him, while the
priest contended that the girl had been
received into the Catholic faith
The woman informed the priest that
she considered him no gentleman, and
he retaliated by saying he thought
her no lady The argument waXed
warmer, and a telephone call was sent
to the police station for an officer.
When the policeman arrived he advised
the priest not to attempt to enter the
home. Thereby preventing further trou-
lble, and the latter reluctantly went on
his way.
/ The girl who for several years has
been a popular saleswoman in one of
the largest stores in the city. is said to
have become a Catholic about five
years ago. and without her mothers
knowledge. II is further said that she
had expressed no desire to see a priest
but that some of her friends had re-
.quested him to call to see her.
