 Since 1t was opened she has been at the head of the institution. There are five other sisters. Father Duffy the chaplain, Is considered very scholarly. His little house Is in the spacious ground, but he has breakfast in the reception room of the orphanage. For the children is a familiar and beloved figure and he often goes in the class rooms to hear them sing, which they always do when there are visitors.
 But while the children love Father Duffy, they almost worship the Sister An gelica.. Their eyes brighten whenever they get glimpse of her and when she speaks every child smiles into her face with simple and beautiful affection, the look that touches the heart and brings the tear to the eye

to prayer in the little chapel Father Duffy, the chaplain, will begin the cele- bration of the mass, Perhaps In no Cath ollie chapel in the world will the Easter celebration be less imposing. All the Gre gorian chants, the impressive procession of priests. the rich robes the magnih- cence of the altars the rich carvings. the ascension lilies, the myriads of candles will be lacking. The elements of pictur
 esque color and pageantry that enter into the Easter services in cathedrals and in the great parish churches will not be seen in the little chapel at the orphanage. In- stead there will be few candles, the chaplain, some three or four sisters count ing their beads and a procession of chill dren who would be quite homeless were they not sheltered at the orphanage.
 On week days the children go to school. The Sister Angelica says that the hours are so divided that some of the children may assist in the morning duties about the orphanage and go to schol in the afternoon, or some of the children arrange to work in the afternon and say their lessons in the morning. All the chill dren who are old enough are assigned to some special duty beside their lessons.

Sister Angelica was saying.
 It might be a monastery, so rigidly are the girls excluded A monastery on the second floor when no woman ever comes; a small convent on the third floor for all the small relgieuse The eldest probably ten or eleven, and the youngest three months!
 The children at the orphanage are noth- ing if not industrious Besides assisting the sisters in all the housekeeping the cleaning the cooking the older girls do all the washing and the boys work the garden, cut wood, go on errands, and do much of the hard work out of doors. They are being taught the happiness of work. They are being taught everything by the good sisters. They come to the orphanage too young to have any well defined ideas, and they leave 1t with a knowledge of discipline, of industry, of practical things. With the care of the sisters they develop physically as well as mentally. Many of them are so frail when they are sent to the orphanage that the Sister Angelica wonders how long the little life will last. Some of the children are so delictae that they are the greatest care, and while all of them are such responsibility It Is the delicate children, or the feeble mind ed ones that require so much of the sis ter's time. t, ,tiflHl
 In an orphanage that receives children irrespective of creed. and where some eighty little ones are sheltered, the ma teriar' which the sisters work with is not always promising. The struggles Of the sisters cannot be appreciated by the outside world. Those who are indifferent. or those who know nothing of personal struggle who have everything without even knowing how it came--how can they realize the sufferings of the poor?
 The Sister Angelica will tell you how almost by accident something happened that enabled the orphanage to provide food one winter. or when the children needed clothes and there was no money, some one sent sufficient clothing to keep them warm. The Sister Angelica does not think 1t was accidental. She believes that 1t was an answer to prayer. But 1t does look accidental when some woman or some man suddenly sends clothes to the little orphans just when Sister Angelica wonders how she will get things for them.
 The orphanage has no large regular income. It is dependent almost entirely upon charity. The Jefferson County Or phanage association assists in maintain ing the orphanage and the Ladies' Or phanage' society does fine work. Every week d committee of women go to the or

 The recent but already much discussed utterance of Grace Atherton If we have revolution. in the United States it will be due entirely to the stupidity of the rieh," was the subject of Miss Cro- ziers lecture the past week.
 The recent lesson was first the presen- tation of the different phases of the stp- pidity of the rich; the stupidity that is making for revolution.
 Miss Crozler says:
 T draw my illustrations directly from the life in the Greater New York, but that because New York Is the heart? That is, New York city Is the center of the emotional life of the nation. The daughters of the officer of the village church come to Delmonico,6 to order their first cocktail or similel% stimulant To drink intoxicants inktheir own village would injure the father s standing, ana so. reduce dividends drawn from the fac tory.
