Miss Ragnhild Lund, a native Of Ber-
gen, is acquiring a sort Of interna-
tfonal fame. She has been staying in
Rome for number of years, and she
stands high among the suffragettes Of
the eternal city. But this is nothing

the announcements that she is to marry
Father Murri. This man was once a
noted prelate in the Catholic church
but as leader of the mod ernist''
movement he fell under the ban of the
pope, and, since that time has been
outside the pale Of the Catholic church
Nevertheless the announcement that
he is to get married caused a shock
I to all good Catholics. Miss Lund is
a beautiful and hi hly acconpi shed
lady. After The marriage Father
Murri is going to South America to
lecture on mod rnism. ! 6 sls
