HER HAPPIEsT VACATION.

The most delightful vacation ever spent was
on q tiny island in Canadian lake. My family
had cottage on the shore, and It caused mild
sensation among my acquaintance when It became
known that I an unattached and not very mature
female had purchased an island Of my own and
was going 10 build cottage there for my
CCpancy. None of these things moved me, how
ever. For several summers I had adapted myself
70 ways which while they suited the family, didn't
suit me. and had sacrificed over and over again
the pleasure Of entertaining my friends. because
the one spare room in the cottage was otherwise
engaged. I wanted a place in which 7 could lead
ny own life and entertain my friends just I
chose and as real estate was cheap In that part
OF the country at that time, and II did not cost
that there was no reason Why should not nave
what I wanted The family MADE no oDJectlof,
thought il an excellent idea and the best way
that could invest the few hundred dollars that
possessed At that time. So the island was pur-
chased and the cottage bulit: and the next sum

cR1T1cIsEs H. H. RoGERs's CHURCH
Massachusetts Priest Calls 1t Monument
EXPRESSING Denial of Divinity of Christ.

Fair Haven. Mass. Sept. Pain an address at
the LAYING of the cornerstone Of st. Joseph's
Roman Catholic chapel here to-day the Rev
Father ]. c. Cassidy, chancellor Of the Fail
River diocese, indirectly referred to the costly
Unitarian church which H. H. Rogers, Of New
York and Fair Haven, built for the latter de-
nomination here
While Father Cassidy did not mention the
new Unitarian church by name, his reference
was plainly understood by the English speaking
people in the audience The priest drew direct
comparison between the new chapel and the
other new church edi1ce in this town" He re-
ferred to the chapel a building being con-
structed with the hard earned pennies Of the
moor. and the other church as "a monument TO
modern n1aterialism-a church expressing the
denial of the Divinity of Christ"
The new chapel Is being built by the Fathers
of the Sacred Heart, who, after being expelled
from France went to Louvain, Belgium. They
wore invited TO come to this diocese by the
Right Rev. William Stang, Bishop OF Fall River
who formerly lived in Louvain. The ground on
which the structure is being erected was for
n7erIy part of the estate of the late Theodore
THOMAS. the musical conductor The mouse on
the Thomas estate is row used by the order as
