The house Is to be run on purely Q

It Is not TO be in any sense q chart

organization. however, Il 10 planned to
run another house, which will be for
the benefit OF deserving young women
OF the Catholic faith who are unable to

This will be an outright charity. a usu-

money has been promised for the pur-
pose.
The Maria Paroles will be under the
spiritual direction Of the Jesuit Fathers,
but they have nothing to do with the
