BEAUTY AND HEALTH.
Lecture by Madame Yale at New
National Theater

Madame Yale delivered her annual lee
ture on the subject Of beauty and health
yesterday afternoon at the New National
Theater.
The speakers appearance in an evening
gown of gold tissue and a picture hat of
pink velvet and plumes was the signal
for enthusiastic applause from the large
audience of women present and similar
marks of approval were showered upon
her as she changed her costume first for
a gymnasium suit of delicate pink crepe
and afterward for white silk tights and a
corselet of white watered silk spangled
with silver and trimmed with black velvet
fieur de lis. Her final appearance was in
white tulle studded with gold, and large
white hat with snowy plumes falling be-
low her shoulder.
Each toilet was donned for the purpose
of illustrating womans beauty points and
the proper way in which they should be
preserved. Nine. Yale called attention to
the girlish contour of her throat and the
youthful lines of her figure. which. she
claimed, all healthy women of her age
might possess with proper care of them
selves; by frequent ba hing. regular exer-
else and a correct method of breathing
and walking. She gave hope 10 the
woman whose youth has vanished by as
sorting that beauty should increase in
stead of fading. and that if her sisters
cared for themselves as they should they
could preserve their physical attractive
ness SO successfully as to combat old age
and be dreams at seventy-five.'
In appearance Nine. Ya'e looked like a
dainty princess on French fan. and her
youthful lines. step and smiles suggested
the summer girl of twenty. rather than
woman who candidly" admits that she has
passed her half century milestone.

CATHOLICS AND THE BIBLE.
Lecture by Rev. John Corbett a,
Gonzaga Hall.

Rev John Corbett s. j.. professor OF
sacred scripture and Hebrew at Wood
stock College lectured last night in Con
zaga College Hall on the question: rs
the Catholic. Church an Enemy of the
Bibe?' In his opening words Father
Corbett called the attention of his hearers
to the necessity of being we'll informed on
doctrinal questions.
No Catholic he said can doubt the
inspiration of the holy scripture. 1t IS
a defined dogma of the church that the
Bible is the word of God: that all the
books in the Catholic Bible have had God
their principal author. Hence she cam
not be the enemy of the Bible. else she
would proclaim herself the enemy of God $
word-of God Himself.
Father Corbett said the history of the
world is proof OF his statement that the
the Scripture. During the persecution
under Diocletian the Christians were or
dered to deliver their sacred writings TO
be burned. The annals of the martyrs
record how they went to death rather
than betray the sacred trust. The church
saved the Scriptures at the cost of the
life's blood of her children. The oldest
manuscripts of the Bible now in exist
ence have come down to us from this
period"
1T is believed by many. he continued.
that the church was unwilling to have
the Bible in the language of the people.
Nothing could be more against the facts
Of history In the days of the apostles the
Old Testament had been translated into
Greek and the New Testament was writ
ten in Greek. the language of the people.
In the middle of the second century the
Bible was translated into Latin and Syriac
that ii might be understood by the peo-
ple.''
In conclusion Father COrbett reviewed
the legislation of the Catholic Church on
Bible reading. and said that for the past
$50 years there has been no restriction
on the reading in the vernacular of YER
sions approved by the holy see or the
bishops. He also declared that Cardinal
Gibbons often urged Catholics everywhere
to read the Bible.
