NAL of the allegation was most con
yincing. At the end of the oath
was the information that certain can
didates before the people of the state
for offices were "prominent K."of C.'s'
and he referred to the circular as
calumny distributed to injure these
Catholics on election day.
The School Question.
After referring to the service OF
Catholics in the wars of 1776, 1872 and
the civil war, the priest took up the
attitude of the Catholic church toward
public schools, saying that Catholics
paid their taxes regularly, and part
of these were for the maintenance OF
public schools. He said that the
church opposed public schools where.
in politics entered, and he declared
that the church opposed the teaching
of the bible in the schools.
He explained the Catholic belief in
purgatory, where souls go that COM
init small sins and quoted from st.
Paul, third chapter, twelfth verse, st.
Matthew, and finally Revelations,
twenty-frst chapter, twenty-seventh
verse of the Protestant bible in sup
port of purgatory. He refuted the
belief that Catholics worship relics
and statues and explained the Catholic
belief in indulgences. In closing, the
priest asked non-Catholics to investi-
gate the Catholic teachings and salts
fly themselves.
The sermon at the 1890 mass Sun
day was devoted to the vocation in
life to follow. He likened the young
men and women of the church to a
strapling hemlock tree in forest,
saying that they should follow that
vocation that would make them strong
trees, rather than deadwood. He
discouraged placing prominence in
social circles and wealth above the
vocation in life that God had picked
out for his children.

Problems of Packing.

TT is very unwise for the average woman
to purchase a large trunk. Articles
travel much more safely in medium
sized one, and are more easily found
when wanted. Most hostesses do not well

the corners from the bannisters and
serves to dwarf the little guest room
One of the first preliminary arrange
ments Of the woman who is planning a
summer trip is the gathering Of tissue

stuff sleeves, bow and loops. Fold the
tissue around flowers and under feathers,
and also fill odd corners with it. 1t pre-
vents slipping and does not add to the
weight Delicate summer gowns are very
difficult to pack smoothly. and they often
carry better when rolled over a heavy
roll of newspaper that has been covered
with sheets of tissue paper.
One of the best methods OF packing a
coat is to fold it inside out, sleeve to
sleeve, and front to front, then fold
once lengthwise with tissue paper be-
tween. The sleeves may be slightly stuff
ed before folding. The real successful
packing must be tight packing. 1t is

them tightly in the trunk, but loose pack

The dress should be made in the very
simplest way-a plain skirt slightly gath

waist crossing in front and back over
a tiny yoke of net. The flower clusters
are so pretty in themselves that elabora-
ton of any kind would only detract from
the beauty of the Dress and by far the
most appropriate trimming is puf1ings of

both edges and placed at the very bot

The machine pleats are so shallow ana
fatty pressed that they do not fly 10 any
extent, and for this reason they require
no staying underneath. With the side
and box pleats il is necessary TO have
tapes fastened to the pleats at intervals
SO that the straight line will be retained.
Pleats are used for the section below the
knees, the top having panniers and tunics.
Pleats are also used for whole skirts.
Groups of pleats are inserted at intervals
around the skirt bottom. and pleated
panels are placed at the side, back or
front. There is no section of the skirt in
which pleats cannot be introduced ef-

pleated sections not only for the back
