IT WAS CATHOLIC DAY
AT THE LAKE RESORT
Joy and GIadness Reigned Su-
preme Throughout the
Entire Day.

Clouds as well as sunshine hovered
over the children on Tuesday. that
day being set apart as Catholic Chill
dren's' day at Saltair. and In an es-
peclal manner was IL the day of days
FOR the inmates OF the Kcarns-St- Ann
orphanage, all of whom were the
guests OF Bishop Scanlan for the occa-
sion. The clouds came up. according
TO Father Ryan. In the delay OF the
Utah Light and Railway company in
not sending cars in time to transport
the children after the company agreed
TO have them there at n specified time.
And there was n long wait OF two hours
before the little ones were taken to the
depot.
But sunshine crowned everybody and
everything as soon as the train pulled
out. and from that moment TIL the last
train dropped Its passengers In town JOY
and real gladness reigned supreme.
Miss Gleason I'm Charge.
The management was chiefly In the
hands of Miss Nora Gleason and her
"Chautauqua" hat. especially the hat.
for wherever that hat bobbed up some
thing had to be done. Assisting her
were Mrs. c, G. Slade, president of the
.t.itar society: Mrs. T.. D Brooks. Mrs.
Ronald Morrison. Mr.. and Mrs, Albert
Herr. Mr.. G, A, Locke, Mrs 2. Gibbons,
Mrs. Seley. Mrs. Butts and John Foote.
In many and various ways. these good
men and women planned and set and
waited on tables and did all sorts OF
things to make the scores of little peo-
pie happy who sat at them. Early and
eager solicitation had brought bounti-
full results. and the picture Of plenty
when the word was given to "go in"
was really beautiful The children OF
the orphanage were cared for by the
..Gf. H. IN
or no church or creed were made well
come and fed till they could eat no
more.
Children Ruled Everywhere.
Among the orphanage children are
two pickaninnies. 4 and 6 years old. and
just in front of where they sat were
piled twenty great watermelons TO be
used later on, The ruling passion was
strong In both of them. for when Miss
Gleason and her "Chautauqua" hat
came along with pie. they both called
cut: When is you all goin' to give us
de milyuns?" DE milyuns" were
slashed and two hearts made happy
The children ruled the roost every.
where. Here was Father Ryan chuck
Ing little tots under the chin and MAX
ing poor ''hst'' at baby talk,
Here was Father Domeath swinging
four cherubs till he grew red in this
face. and still he smiled. Yonder was
Bishop Scanlan with critical eye on
the kids" in the ry-go-round. Here
was Albert Herr dealing out candy
and all sorts OF good things to every
Kid In reach. and over all and through
all was veritable atmosphere OF gem
uine JOY. Was anything wrong? Miss
Gleason and her "ChautauQua" hat
were promptly on the spot, and 10!
smiles and sunshine.
Participating in the day were the st.
Cecilia chorus girls. the choir chill
dren. and hundreds of the children of
the people Of the diocese. No word or
action marred the pleasure of the day
or evening, and no accident OF any ma
ture occurred.
Dancing and instrumental music
filled in odd hours. and from first TO
last 1t was successful outing.
One Picture Remembered.
One picture in the evening Will long
remain in the memories of all who saw
1T. Al the evening meal the tables
were set for all the children, and Bishop
Scanlan sat at the head OF the feast.
His kindly face was Wreathed In
smiles, and the gray heads who stooo
back and saw the picture and knew
the long life of labor and self-denlal
this good man has passed through felt
ana some OF them said: Surely, his
heart Is In the right place" The bit
terest OF life's blows cannot sour a
true heart to the love OF little children.
The orphans left for home at o'clock.
Twenty minutes later Annie johnson
a 4-year-old colored orphan. was found
in the pavilion, having been overlooked
IN some manner, and she was sent home
with special escort

Locke. Mrs. Gibbons. Mr.. and Mrs
Herr. Mr.. Foote. Mrs. Seley, Mr.. Lang
ford and a score OF others, always and
ever including Miss Nora Gleason.
