CATHOLIC LAYMEN
REGRET INCIDENT
Sorry diplomatic BIundei''
Prevented Meeting.

New York. April 5.-The news from
Rome was very generally discussed
and opinion was shaded all the way
from Colonel Roosevelt had acted in
a characteristically hasty and impet
yous way to the view that he had
made himself immortal by refusing to
be bound by antiQuated conventions.
Protestant ministers were for the
most part frankly jubilant. The more
important Catholic ecclesiastics de-
cyned to express any opinion as to the
misunderstanding which prevented
Pope Plus X from receiving the col
onel. and most laymen of the Catholic
church discussed the contremps mild
ly saying that neither the pope nor
Colonel Roosevelt should be criticised,
since both were within their rights
They were sorry "a diplomatic blum
der" prevented the meeting of two men
so interesting and so important in the
worlds affairs as the pope and Colonel
Roosevelt"
There was none of the harsh and
bitter comment such as may excite
| mistrust and anger" At the Catholic
club the misunderstanding" as the
incident was generally termed was a
| matter of the keenest interest
Commissioner of Charities Michael
]. Drummond. who was appointed by
Mayor Gaynor to serve on the Roose-
Welt reception committee, did NOT
| think any hard feelings against MI
Roosevelt would be aroused among the
Catholics in this country.
"The Vatican has right to impose
any conditions it pleases when the re-
| ception of any individual private citi-
Mr.. Drummond Mr.. Roosevelt has
| the right to accept or reject any con-
ditions. | can't see how the incident
has any bearing on the attitude of
| Catholics 1t was unfortunate that
such a thing occurred and some at
| tempt should have {been made to
avoid it.
| 81 believe that the Catholics here
| will take that view of the matter
| Catholics are a very liberal minded
| set of people I do not think they will
| crtticise Mr. Roosevelt for his action
hardly see how any bad feeling could
arise. After all the affair was a per
sonal one, just between the holy father
and Mr.. Roosevelt"
Very much the same view was taken
by John D. Crimmins. one of the mos
representative Catholics in New Yosh

The fad for waking is an established

number of rich Women who scorned
their carriages and preferred to seek
health and beauty by exercising in a
brisk walk.
The Newport colony distinguished it.
self In this respect, and Harry Lehr
was very much in evidence as escort
to the different leaders of society as
they walked their daily constitutional.
Harry Lehr himself is suffering from
a rather rotund figure, which makes
this course of action desirable.
Not only have the wealthy classes
made walking popular. but the bach
elor girl and the business girl have
adopted 1t with enthusiasm.
Walking tours are now all the rage.
and both spring and the present time
of the year are most favorable for
them. Many business women have
postponed taking their vacations dur
ing the hot summer in order to indulge
in a week of tramping at the present
time.
No vacation is more delightful. non
so free from care. The lady hobo may
know the delights Of the long road as
well as the real n does. We all have
a strain of gypsy blood in us and want
to get away now and then from people
and things that are fixed and conven-
tional.
But in order TO enjoy this tramping
to its utmost a special costume and
equipment are necessary. First. 1t is
better to leave off corsets and to sub
stitute either a health waist or a union
suit; next, very little baggage should
be carried. A knapsack made of an
vas like the one in the picture is use
full. 1t should contain a change of
underwear, some handkerchiefs and
only the most necessary toilet articles.
such as a toothbrush and a comb. Even
a brush is not necessary and adds
weight.
the proper thing. and the waist worn
should be of soft flannel in a shade
that does not show the soil.
The boots worn should be of the
proper kind to walk Inflow heeled
and with elastic soles. They should
be perfectly comfortable and not new.
The delights Of tramping consist to
a large extent In the uncertainties of
it. But IL desired a weeks itinerary
can be planned out beforehand and
rooms engaged for the different men,
bers of the party at village inns.
Ten miles a day Is enough for those
not accustomed to much walking.

FLOODS IN JAPAN.

TOXIC, August 11.-Japan is suffer
ing severely from the floods, which
are continuing throughout the coun-
try, doing an immense amount of do
mage to property and causing terri
Bile loss of life.
Many towns and villages along the
rivers are inundated, the waters
sweeping many of the frazier houses
and buildings away and destroying
fields and gardens along their banks
In the smaller villages and in the coun-
try sections, the loss of life is re-
ported to be enormous, in some of the
low dying sections, whole communities
being surrounded by the waters, cut
off from help and drowned as the
floods rise The number of houses
destroyed is said to be thousands.
The government is sending out re-
lief expeditions of soldiers and sup
plies for the people made destitute by
the floods are being collected and for
warded as rapidly as possible.
