the princess had about her the air of
one who has conquered by gentleness.
1T has been SO appallingly dull, Ge-
nevra, don't you understand? That's
why. Besides. 1t isn't necessary for
her to be so horrid about it. She
"She isn't horrid about it. dear. She's
most self sacrificing"
Rubbish, She talks about the Puri-
tans and all that sort of thing. l know
what she means. But there's no use
talking about it. I'll do as you say
prude. Heaven alone knows what a
real prude is. l don't. All this tommy
rot about Bobby and me wouldn't exist
if that wretched Chase man had been
a little more affable. He never noticed
us until you came. No wife to snoop
after him and-why, my dear, he would
have been IDEAL"
ITS all very nice, Agnes. but you
forget your husband" said Geneva,
with a tolerant smile.
"Genevra." said Lady Agnes solemn
ly, 'if you'd been on a barren island
for five months as | have with moth
ing to look at but your husband and
the sunsets you would not be so hard
on me. l wouldn't take Drusilla's hus-
band away from her for the world. 1
wouldn't even look at him if he were
not ON the barren island too. I've read
novels in which a man and woman
nave been wrecked on a desert island
and lived there for months. even years,
in an atmosphere of righteousness.
My dear, those novelists are ninnies
Nobody could be S o good as all that
without getting wings. I'm tired of
men and angels. That's why l want
yo~ for awhile. You've got no wings,
GenSvra, but it's of no consequence,
as you have no one to fly away FROM"
"Or to, you might add" laughed Ge-
nevra.
THAT'S very American. You've been
talking to Miss Pelham. She's always
adding things. By the way, Mr.. Chase
sees quite a lot of her. She types for
him. l fancy she's trying to choose
between him and Mr.. Saunders. If
you were she, dear, which would you
choose?"
"Mr. Saunders" said Genevra
promptly. but if l were myself I'd
choose Mr.. Chase"
Speaking of angels, he must have
wings a yard long. He has been chosen
by an entire harem. and h. flies from
them as if pursued by the devil. l
imagine, however. that he'd be rather
dangerous if his wings were to get out
of order unexpectedly. But he's nice,
isn't hep"
The princess nodded her head toler-
antly.
Her ladyship went on: 81 don't want
to walk, after all. Let us sit here in
the corridor and count the prisms in
the chandeliers. It's such fun. I've
done it often. Mr.. Britt has advanced
a new theory. We are to indulge in
double barreled divorce proceedings.
AS soon as they are over Mr.. Brown
and l are to marry. Then we are to

BISHOP SCANNELL AROUSED
Head Of Catholic Diocese Of Omaha
Talks on French Situation.
MAKES SOME CAUsTIC COMMENT
Likens Present stRtus Of COntendinR
Elements TO old story Of the
VOLTS Tender Services
TO the Lamb,

Right Rev. Richard Scannel. bishop Of
the Catholic diocese OF Omaha, was asked
after the service at st. Cecilia church
Sunday. II he had read the article appear
ing IN The Bee from Paris regarding the
pending contest between the state and
church in France. The article quoted was
a reproduction from the Paris Temps.
Yes" said the bishop. 1T is a deliber-
ate Misrepresentation Of the entire ques-
ton. and in its dishonesty goes beyond
what might be looRed for even in a French
anti-clerical paper. 1t declares that the
French bishops and clergy and the great
body Of French Catholics are in favor Of
separation Of church and state. This, be-
ing a half-truth, is worse than a whole lie.
They may be now, like American Catholics,
in favor Of the separation Of church and
state, but they are not. and never were, in
favor Of the confiscation Of all the church
property which during past ages, had been
given by the many faithful for religious,
charitable and educational purposes. That
property is gone. and the proceeds Of its
sale ~squandered without any benefit to
the French people.
Religious leaders Harassed.
"Still less are French Catholics in favor
Of all the vexatious laws which harass the
DlSnOpS ana CltEEN ana deprive Nlem VI
that liberty which ministers Of religion EN-
Joy in all the other civilized countries Of
the world.
The Temps, with extraordinary effront-
cry. declares that the Vatican refuses to
aid in the settlement Of the church ques-
ton. To this / answer: First, that the
church question was raised. not by the
Vatican, but by the French government,
which set aside the concordat without OBJ
serving even the small courtesy Of notify
ing the Vatican (the party OF the second
part) Of its intended action. Thus it Of
fered to the Holy See a deliberate insult,
the like Of which, 1 feel certain. no other
government-pagan or Christian-would be
guilty Of today.
Secondly. the French government has
all along refused to have any relations
with the Vatican, boastfully declaring that
IL will settle French Catholic questions
without recognizing the head of the Cath
ole church. This is queer craftsmanship.
And now the Temps complains of the re
fusal of the Vatican to aid in the settle
ment of the church question in France
and the article talks of the broad intelli-
gence' of Leo XIII. We who remember
how the French government treated Leo
XIII know the value of this praise.

unless absolutely necessary. In a very
dense soil 1t is always advisable to
cover the tile to at least depth Of

taken to procure a free outlet for the

To obtain good drainage one must

the center of the road should be raised,

should be from one-half to one inch

water will run freely to the side

remain in puddles on the roadway.
The side bitches should be Of ample
