THE STORY OF TWO FOOLISH YOUNG
THINGS WHO WISH TO MARRY

tlOn.
He is thinking only of Self" the
mother tells her daughter. If he
loved you more than he loves himself
he wouldn't ask 70 uto marry till he
is able to support you"
This side of the story deals with
unadorned facts, and isn't attractive to
the eye or ear. There is nothing sooth-
ing or beguiIing in warnings of rents,
fuel, the high prices Of meat and
groceries; there is nothing of enthrall-
ing interest in hints of bills and ba-
bies, and this side Of the story seldom
interests the Young Things to whom
it is told
The girl has been brought up in the
popular American fashion. She can't
sew or cook, and is as ignorant Of
housework as though her father were
duke instead of a workingman; and
her mother has always waited on her
as if she believed it her heaven-ordain-
ed mission to become a slave to the
princess who honored them by taking
up her abode in their house.
When a child she got everything
she cried for. and the only reason this
tragedy didn't threaten sooner is that
never before did she cry for anything
more unfit for her than a doll costing
half her fathers salary.
The Babies in the Woods We're never
more helpless than these two children
will be if permitted to marry, but
popular sentiment, under the guise of
Romance, has done so much to en-
courage such incIinations that the pa
rents of both the young man and the
girl are powerless to prevent.

CBy Francis L. Garside,)

This is one side of a story: A youth
of twenty-one falls in love with a g.ri
of nineteen after an acquaintance OF
three months and wishes her to mar
ry him. He has no money, and no more
future than a rabbit in snow-time, but
he says he loves her and insists that
there be no delay to their marriage
because of the trifing obstacle of pow
erty.
He gets possibly twelve dollars a
week, and his work is such that he is
not a necessity to the house that en-
ployes him 1t could get along nicely
without him She works for the same
firm and gets about ten week. and it
is not probable that she will ever COM

She can continue her position for a
year, he plans, and then, 'ff things
don't turn out right for them, his
father and mother can take care #
them.
The girl says she loves him, and,
being only nineteen and foolish, is
wiling MARI On these terms.
This side of The story is commonly
called Romance. and appears in all the
popular magazines served up with a
garnishment Of moonlight, longings,
heart throbs, poetry and pink clouds,
and Young Things delight in it.

Baptist Tabernacle Church which is
up in arms agains the tube" and is
seeking to rip it off the earth. Back
to Eve and Eden" is the cry.
AT the meeting there Sunday night
these resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, Some of the styles Of
clothing for women have reached the
degrading state, even causing infuri-
ated citizens to tear away the cloth
ing from one, as was the case in
South America and,
Whereas, Some of the styles worn
upon our streets have caused actual
transgression because of their evil
suggestions; and,
Whereas, These styles originated
in what is considered the most i'm
pure and licentious spot in the world
viz: Paris, France; and,
Whereas, these styles have caused
not only sinful thoughts and deeds
for both sexes, but will, if not check
ed, be a source of education for evil
or the future generation; and,
Whereas, These styles are not in
keeping with the Scriptures, where it
suggests that women adorn them
selves in modest apparel; therefore,
be it
Resolved, l. That We condemn the
wearing of tight skirts that outline
the figures of the women.
80. That We condemn the clothing
that falsifes with padding and pre-
tends to have one form to the world
whereas another exists.
% That as some have been caught
in this style trap, possibly carelessly,
iAnd if they feel that they cannot
throw them away, we suggest that, if
worn at all, they use them where the
fewest number Of people may see
them until they can be replaced with
other clothes.
- We suggest that the churches
and the Christian people generally
cooperate and labor to create a sen
t.ment against this evil"

If women could be fair, and yet not

Or that their love We're firm, not

But when / see how frail those crea-

To mark the choice they make, and
how they change,
How oft from Phoebus they do flee 10

Unsettled still, like haggards wild they

These gentle birds that fly from man

Who would not scorn and shake them

And let them fly, fair fools, which way

Yet for disport we fawn and fattey

To pass the time when nothing else

Health Of Pope.

The Holy Father is again enjoying
his normal state Of health according
to all reports from the Vatican. The
return of cooler weather is doing much
toward improving the condition Of
His Holiness. His eagerness to get
back into his old bed room is thus
narrated in a recent message:
The Pope on re-entering his old bed
room. which is now more than double
it's former size owing to the removal
of partition wall, said he felt as
happy as if he were returning amidst
old friends. The mending Of the floor
in the place where the wall has been
taken away has not yet been COM
pleted, but as tho flooring is Of wood
II can easily be done. even though the
Pope occupies the room at night.

be forwarded to Rome by the Bishops
of the Province at a meeting presided
over by the Most Reverend James j.

Metropolitan of Dubuque. 1t will be

1O3 members pledged to Home Rule.
He prayed that the Government
would bring in an Irish bill to which
there was some chance of the Eng

agreeing. Colonel Pryce Jones added
that his party always had his rcsg-
nation in their hands. Whatever hap
pened, if things went on as they were
doing. he would never be Liberal,

the following message from Most Rev.

Miss Mildred Sherman, of New York,
is the head of one of the few Roman
Catholic English families of distinc

Established Church.
The surname Of the family is Sto-

tate in Oxfordshire, which has been
held by it traditionally from before the
Norman conquest. The chapel at

bitrated. 1t is difficult to characterize
this provision truthfully without
seeming to be offensive. Merely to
speak of it as silly comes far short of
saying what should be said.
"No sound argument can be made
for permitting the President and the
Senate to delegate to outsiders, pos
sibly to foreigners, the exercise of d
fundamental and vital power. The de-
tails of carrying into effect a great
and far-reaching policy can appro-
priately be delegated, but the elected
servants of the people betray the in
terests Of the people if they shirk the
duty of themselves deciding what that
policy shall be.

IF the President, after consulting
with his constitutional advisers. the
Senate, should not make up his own
mind about such a vital question, and
had to have it made up for him by
outsiders-possibly foreigners, and
certainly not responsible to the peo-
ple-it would be proof positive that
he was not fit to hold the exalted po-
sition to which he had been elected.

Arrangements Practically Complete

Who Can Attend.
Solemn Procession of the Blessed
Sacrament Will Mark the
Closing Exercises.

Next week will mark an important
event in the Archdiocese of Cincin-
natl, for in st. Peters Cathedral from
Sept. rs to Oct. /, inclusive, hundreds
Of Catholic priests and laymen will
assemble to take part in the Fifth
National Priests Congress to be held
in America. Preparations arc going
forward at rapid rate for this event
which is Of so much Importance not
only to the Archdiocese OF Cincinnati
but to the Catholics Of the entire con-
tinent. II will be public express
sion of belief in the Real Presence
which can hardly fail to bear valuable
fruit. 1t will be a sign to the weak
kneed Catholic who lacks faith and
confidence. 1t Will be an assurance to
the world that the Catholic Church
still adheres to the doctrines which
were practiced by the venerable Faith
ers of the Church who were taught
by and lived with our Divine Lord
Himself.
In an interview Archbishop Noel
Ter of Cincinnati says:
II appreciate the honor accorded
Cincinnati by being chosen as the
city for the fifth national Eucharistic
Congress. 1t will open in the Cathe-
dral Church on Thursday, Sept. 2S,
and close at Norwood Heights on the
afternoon of Sunday, Oct. 1. This
Congress, being only national, will
not, of course, be OF the same magni-
tude as were the congresses of Mon
treal and Madrid, which were inter-
national. 1t is my earnest hope. how
ever, that the Cincinnati Congress
may go down in history as one of the
grandest among the national Euchar-
istic gatherings, and be magnificent
public manifestation of faith, love and
devotion to the Blessed Sacrament on
the part of the Catholics of the Unit
ed States.
81 most cordially invite, therefore,
all bishops. priests and laity who can
at all do so, to wend their way to Gin
cinnati to attend the Congress, and
by their presence to honor the Eu-
charistic King.
"Thc Burnet House, one of the best
hotels in Cincinnati, has been chosen
headquarters, and offers special rates
to the clergy who will attend the Con-
gress. American plan, SO, with BATH

vana, Grand Central or c., Fl. e. D..
depots will find it most convenient
to take the East End car and get off
at Fourth and Vine, which is within
block of the Burnet House"
There will be many able discus
sions on topics relating to the Holy
Eucharist, but the most important
event, so far as the general public is
concerned, will be the Solemn Pro
cession of the Blessed Sacrament,
which will take place on Sunday aft
ernoon, October j. At the close OF
the Procession, Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament will be given on
the grounds of the arch-episcopal res
idence at which Rev. Robert B. Con-
don will deliver the closing sermon.
The session of the Congress at
which the papers will be read will be
held in Cathedral hall and presided
over by the Rt. Rev. Camillus P.
Macs, ID. d., General Director of the
