in philosophy and theology was ordained priest
OH June 80, 1G61-the anniversary of which event
is commemorated by the double jubilee in
prospect
The early work of the churchman was in Bal
timore with which city his church services have
been conspicuousy identified all through his
long career. Later, however, after serving as
private secretary to the late Archbishop Spalding
he was consecrated bishop Of North Carolina and
remained In that state four years. Then followed
five years of service with similar responsibilities
in the state of Virginia. In May 1877, he was ap-
pointed coadjutor with the right of succession to
the archbishop of Baltimore and in less than
year he was formally installed archbishop. He
Of the American prelates to visit Rome
IN 1883 to outline the work Of the third plenary
council and his marked ability in this connection
was at once noted by Pope Leo XIII, who forth
with appointed him to preside the plenary
council During the meeting Of the council the
American archbishop further won the appreciation
of the pope who, to show his appreciation, nomi-
mated him for cardinal-the signal honor, the
acquisition OF which forms the second object of
the commemorative program now planned.
1t seems peculiarly appropriate that the per
manent memorial to Cardinal Gibbons in connec-
tion with his jubilee should take the form of
hall at the Catholic university for if there is one
project for which this prince of the church has
ever been champion and an earnest worker 1t
is this selfsame center of higher education under
Cardinal Gibbons laid the cornerstone of the uni
versty and offciated at the formal opening of
the institution whereas the activities of his long
service as chancellor Of the university are fresh
In the minds of all who keep in touch with educa-
tional progress
AS has been limited above the personal habits of
the cardinal Of the simplest character He is
ever active and subscriber to the theory that
change of occupation is the ideal rest. Cardinal
Gibbons has long been known as an early riser
getting up as early as $50 in summer and seldom
later than o'clock even in winter. He usually
says mass at o'clock, this being the custom no
matter whether he is at the cathedral in Balti-
more or at a modest summer retreat in the coun.
try or at some quiet seaside resort. After mass
comes breakfast and then an interval is devoted
to reading the newspapers, for the cardinal keeps
closely in touch with all current events not for.
getting decidedly keen interest in what is trans.
piring in the baseball field.
The main portion of the morning is apportioned
between replying to correspondence, receiving
visitors and literary work. For the latter the car
dinal find all too little leisure but he has al.
ready attained high rank as contributor to the
literature of the church, his book "The Faith of
Our Fathers" being regarded by eminent scholars

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS
British Housewife Showed How to
Draw the Line Between Senti.
ment and Supper.

Apropos of King Georges corona
tion John Quinn of the Irish Indepen-
dence league said the other day in
New York:
There will be lot of empire talk
and imperialism talk to spoil the coro-
nation. The English imperialist, you
know, prefers to talk about the en-
pire's fringe, of which he is ignorant,
rather than about its heart, which he
knows to be diseased.
"The empire bubble was once prick
ed nicely by an English housewife.
Her husband came home late on a
Sunday afternoon smelling of beer and
tobacco and very red in the face.
"'Oh,' he said, I've had fine time.
I've been to an empire meeting. l.
was grand
Then he frowned and said impa-
tiently:
What's the matter with supper?
Amt it ready yet?'
His wife, who was peeling pota-
toes and holding a squawking baby,
rose and extended the baby to him.
Here, she said, take hold of your
bit of the empire while l fry these
chips"

WHAT TO HAVE FOR LUNCHEON.

When the noon meal is light one,
one does not care for meal especial
ly nutritive; something dainty and at
tractive in its appearance is generally
pleasing.
A cream soup, salad, sandwich
and a cake with fresh or preserved
fruit makes a meal sufficiently salts
flying.
For drinks, tea, cocoa, chocolate or
any of the fruit juices may be used.
A potato soup is simple and easily
made, also liked by nearly everybody.
Potato Soup.-Have ready a cup
full of mashed potato, rub through a
sieve to be sure that it is free from
Jumps. Add three cups of milk that
has been scalding with a slice of
onion. Remove the onion and bind
with a tablespoonful of butter which
has been cooked with tablespoonful
of flour. Cook all together, add salt
and white pepper and serve.
A nice sandwich which is easy to
prepare is bread and butter with
slice of cucumber dipped in French
dressing put between the slices.
An emergency dessert for uneXpect-
ed company is prepared by putting a
canned pear or peach in a sherbet
glass, and heap on top a tablespoonful
of sweetened and favored whipped
cream.
A salad that, too, may be prepared
in hurry is one of lettuce sprinkled
with freshly roasted peanuts broken
in bits and served with French dress
Ing. A sprinkling of chopped onion
may be added if the flavor is liked.
Angel Food and Strawberries.-Bake
an angel cake in a sheet cut in
squares, heap on fresh strawberries
and pour over each dish a tablespoon
full or two of whipped cream. This
Is an especially pleasing dessert be-
cause it looks so pretty. One can cut
the cake in rounds or use any shape
of cutter.
Another nice dessert that may be
quickly prepared is the French pan
cakes. Use any good griddle cake
recipe, spread them, when cooked,
with jelly and roll up, then roll in
sugar and serve.

and divines of every creed rs masterpiece of
logic and literary expression. The cardinals cor
respondence is of course, very heavy sometimes
amounting to hundreds of letters day and his
visitors likewise numerous. The ecclesiastical
business for which he is court Of last resort is
in itself sufficient to throng with callers the mod
est reception rooms of the cardinals residence ad-
joining the cathedral in Baltimore, but there are
also great numbers Of secular callers with va
riety of missions Catholic callers when received
by the cardinal bend the knee and kiss the large
amethyst ring which the cardinal wears in recog-
milton Of the spiritual authority vested in him.
Unless he is to attend formal dinner Of some
kind in the evening the cardinal usually has the
principal meal Of the day shortly after noon and
then lies down for brief sesta, particularly If
he has had an unusually strenuous morning Later
in the afternoon there is another attack upon the
accumulated correspondence and literary work
and more than likely number of visitors will
call by appointment. Whatever be the demands
upon his time, however the cardinal endeavors to
reserve an hour or more in the late afternoon for
his consttutonal,-this walk which is a Roman
custom, followed by nearly all eccesiastics being
taken in company with some friend or priest.
When opportunity offers the cardinal also in.
dulges in short walk in the early morning but
frequently he has to forego this. Except under
unusual circumstances the cardinal retires at or
before 10 o'clock and in his early-to-bed rule is
found one of the secrets of his endurance for the
eminent churchman though he has never been
able to boast what might be termed robust con-
stitution is wiry and capable of an immense
amount Of work
The cardinals duties necessiate considerable
travel and he stands this fatiguing work remark
ably we'll considering his age The month of
June preceding the events in observance of his
double jubilee is likely to be an especially lively
one for this energetic member of the college Of
cardinals for this year as usual he has been de-
p0od HUifh fnU fatio
ments. Cardinal Gibbons has few hobbies He is
fond of reading and enjoys the possession of a
splendid library embracing many rare volumes
and he is likewise fond of music. Naturally
light eater at all times the cardinal is not tempted
by delicacies that defy digestion.
