else after his hostess presented him
to a Miss Harcourt-a cousin of
hers from Clinton. Robert was
pleased and could not refrain from
glancing occasionally in his friends
direction.
Once he met Dicks gaze, hut the
young man turned quickly away.
How inconsistent Robert must think
him, Dick told himself.
Only tonight he had said that he
had not forgotten his words at the
cottage. He could not account for
it-he had thought he would never
be attracted to a woman until he
met the girl who had sung so won
drously that summer night but he
certainly was attracted to Miss Har-
court.
In comparing the color of her
eyes to the violets she was wearing,
and thinking how like the sunshine
her hair was, he forgot about the
voice. He did not think of it again
until later, when Miss HarcOurt made
her way to the piano. She was to
sing! He half rose from his seat
in his excitement.
He dared not hope, but he was
not surprised when the glorious
voice began to sing "Oh, Promise
Me. -
After all it was as it should be |!
His heart had not erred. He looked
over toward Robert, and found his
friend regarding him with a pleased
smile.
Before Dick took his departure
he obtained permission from Elaine
HarcOurt to call 60 see her later
that week. And that call was only
one of many during her visit. Be-
fore she returned home he told her
how he had listened to the songs
, across the lake that summer even
ing and how he had never been hap
py until he found the girl who had
sung so glOriously.
'And now that have found her,
cannot bear to have her leave
me-" he concluded. "Tell me that
you care a little Elaine, dear, and
that you will come back to me
soon.'
81 need not say-the frst,'' she
faltered. ''You known it; and
will come back very soon, D-Dick. -
And now, dear, want you tc
sing 'Oh, Promise Me, - said Dick
tenderly. Boston Post.

RATHER THAN BANQUET
ON HIS SILVER JUBILEE
Papal Note and Pleadings of
Friends Change Mgr. Ere
ri'S Decision.

II required a Papal note, letters from
haif dozen Cardinals and the plead
inss OF a score OF friends to bring the
Right Rev. Mgr. ID. J. Freri INA
tional Representative in the United
states Of the Catholic Churchs foreign
mission body from the cloistered pre-
cincts OF the Passionist Monastery in
west Hoboken last night to accept a
dinner from his friends In honor Of his
twenty-five years service as a priest.
When he returned recently from a
visit to his native town. st. Etienne,
France. he firmly declined the honor of
a silver jubilee. Later Father Juiiiiard.
Assistant Director Of the Society for
the Propagation OF the Faith, and a
dozen or so of Mgr. Freri's friends
from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Trenton
and Newark decided that the occasion
should not be allowed to pass. The
Vatican. mindful of the fact that Mgr.
Freri has increased the foreign mission
contribution OF the United States from
10000 to $4,000 annually. sent this
message:
'Monsignor Freri:
best wishes the Apos Ole blessing, token
OF Divine favors on the occasion OF
the twenty-fifth anniversary of your
ordination to the priesthood.

superior a secret unless the office
should suddenly receive word that
some multi-millionaire was about to
leave all his possessions to the foreign
missions"
I'm that event." he told the clerk.

Messages came from Cardinal Far
ley and Cardinal Gibbons. Father
Cantwell, editor of the Newark Mon
itor. flashed the news that the meet
ing place for Mgr. Freri's friends
would be a little room at the Lafay-
cite Brevoort. on Dec. II, at 8 =. NJ
sharp. At o'clock the priests from
out of town were informed that the
1uoiliarian could not be found. The
dinner and a purse were ready. but
the guest-of-honor was missing.
The clerk must let us know. That
ends IT," declared the Newark editor
And the clerk informed them that Mgr
Freri was making a three-day retreat
In the Passionist Monastry. This Is one
OF the strictest institutions n the Cath
ole Church. Two priest dele gates were
despatched to TIE monastery. They took
machine with them. The priest at the
monastry shook his head. The visitors
persisted. They had Papal note. ie.-
ters from cardinals and bishops. a din

Eventually the prelate was Induced to
quit the monastery for an hour or two
