Tho festival of st. Thomas Of Cat

popular of saints days in England. has
now fallen into complete desuetude,
and its revival is not advocated by
even the most fervent of Auglo-Cath-
olics. II was Henry VIII who de-
stroye1 the Beckett tradition. The
king was (as always, In need of mon

an order was issued that the bones of
the saint should be burned and the Of

decanonized. his images to be destroy

Simplicity.

In birth no less than in wealth the late
Montgomery Sears of Boston stood in
the front rank of Americans. Mr.. Sears
had very decided views OH etiquette as
is illustrated by story that has of late
been circulating in Boston. Simplicity
was the keystone Of etiquette III this
young mans opinion.
Mr.. Sears, the story runs, took some
small part in certain Grand Army celc-
brations, a good many years ago in Bos-
ton. One afternoon. in the midst OF
these celebrations, a Boston veteran took
him by the arm and said:
Dine with me tonight. will you? /
want you to meet my daughter"
I'm sorry" said the youth, but it's
impossible. Tonight ! dine with Grant"
The veteran frowncd

with more respect. You should say Gen.
