The Catholic women in Americt nave
been active in many benehcent WORKS
from colonial days. The founder of the
order of the Sisters of Charity and its
first superioress was Elizabeth A Seton,
a convert to Catholicism. In 1911 her 1T
tie band located in st. Josephs valley
Md, and copy of the regulations used
for the Daughters of Charity, founded by
ST. Vincent de Paul. was procured from
France for their guidance. At the time
she established this institution Mrs.
Seton, was a young widow with children.
She did not in any way neglect her duties
as a mother TO her own family, even
when engaging in a broader work, ana
arrangements were always made in full
recognition of the obligations she bore to
them.
The founder of Georgetown Convent. IN
Georgetown. D. c. which was the first
Visitation House in America, was Miss
Alice Lalor. afterward known as Mother
Teresa. She was born in ireland out

who had married an American merchant

had dreamed OF establishing a commun-
ity. When. Father Neale became presi-
dent of Georgetown College he esta dish
ed these three women temporarily with
the Poor Clares," some religious women
driven by persecution from France, who
were vainly trying to establish school
as a means of support. Their rules were
so rigorous and their poverty so extreme
that few scholars applied. At first Alice
I4alor and her friends boarded in this
convent and taught. but soon it was ap-
parent that the rule of st. Clare, requlr-
ing the women to go barefoot, was SO
austere as to be unsuited to the needs OF
the community. so Father Neale estap-
lished them in house. This was the
beginning o. the Convent School of the
Visitation. in which so many of the most
distinguished women of the country have
been, educated during the past century.
There was considerable difficulty about
placing the institution under Visitation
rules, because the founders had not been
members of a religious order. but after
Father Neale became coadjutor to Arch
bishop Carroll he resolved to admit the
sisters to simple VOWS. When he became
archbishop himself. in 1915. he admitted
the oldest sisters to solemn vows, ana
the establishment of the institution was
complete.

HOUSES TO Be BUILT
ON BANCROFT PLACE
Locality Is a New Addition to
4 the Residence Portion
of City.

During the present season a number of
houses are to be built on Bancroft
place. between 23d and oath streets,
which will enlarge residence section
that includes 8 street and extends north
of Wyoming avenue. At present the To-
ca;ity is a new addition to the residence
portion of the city, and the streets, when
once away from 8 street. are without
pavements, sidewalks or cutters. How
ever, it is expected that this condition will
be changed very soon now. as o3d street
will be paved to kalorama road.
Bancroft place is still a thoroughfare
largely on paper, although the line of it
can now be pretty well traced owing to
the fact that during the past season two
houses were built fronting on the street

when only sixteen years old. and at that
early age she assisted in the esta blish-

ing parish, which by 1882 contained
over two hundred inmates. During
this year the Asiatic cholera ragged in
Louisiana and the convent was destroyed
as part of its ravages although Moth

She was then ordered to go north as SUI

assisted in the founding of orders in Hal

in 1916 established convent in Philadel-

school in that city. known as Eden Hail.
which she intrusted to Mother Tucker.
In 1852 Mother Harley opened free
Catholic school in New York for the in
struction Of poor children In 1865 she
went to Cuba and established school
for girls. During all of these activities
she was still superior of the convent of
New York. located at Manhattanvillc.
In 1865 there was some talk OF replacing
ner with another superior. but Archbishop
McC1oskey of New York disapproved SO
strongly of this that a promise was Sc

the order. in France, that she would
never withdraw Mother Haradey from

Mother Goetz's death she was sent back
to America to attend to business mat

the Tabernacle Society In connection with
the Sodality Of the Children of Mary.
In 1876 she was sent to visit the con-

by Mother Lehon. she visited the con-
vents Of Belgium, England and Italy.
In 1882 she had OF return to Manhattan

"MOTHER'
BY GllfiIlan Scott.

As a man treats his mother when
she is old so will he treat his wife
when she is old.
The surest test of mans manliness
is his treatment of his mother.
Here is a guide to matrimony.
Is he kind to his mother? Yes
Then he will make q good, kind hus-
band.
Is he unkind to his mother? Yes
Then he win be an unkind husband;
perhaps not at once; whilst the wife
is young and attractive; but later.
when the bloom Of youth is gone
And again. Is she kind to her
mother? Yes. Then she will make
kind and loving wife; a treasure to be
preserved with all the love and tender
ness and devotion a man can give.
Is she unkind to her mother? Yes.
Then woe to the man who maTTfes
her; for she will prove cold and hard
and selfish and her husbands life will
be unhappy.
These are cases that call for divorce.
A good natured, kindly man marFies
a selfish woman; or a hard, selfish man
marries sweet, unselhsh woman.
There is so much art before marriage
and SO little heart after marriage in
those cases.
But back to our subject.
The strongest tie On earth is that
of mother and child.
A man may wed wife after wife, and
a woman may wed husband after hus-
band. but either can have but one
mother.
It's all right for young men and
women to leave father and mother and
marry and love one another. That's
the natural order of things. But there's
another natural order Of things: that
the old mother, who made It all pos
sible, is a sacred trust and obligation:
and is entitled TO the same love and
tenderness and devotion from son or
daughter rs wife or husband can give
to one another.
A mother gives her own body to her
child; # is her very own flesh, blood
and bone. Can you have a stronger tie
than that? She nurses the child. feeds
it at her own breast, tends it, watches
over it night and day, protects 1t year
after year, educates 1t and gives 1t its
start in life.
During all those years, which repre-
sent at least a quarter of a lifetime,
the child has been snatched fren death
many, many times through the watch
full eye and ever-ready hand Of its
mother.

II this article does but bring about
the happiness of one family or or one
mother it will have repaid Its writer
In various articles on Love. Matri-
mony and Divorce I have expressed
opinions which are open to criticism.
That's as it should be, for criticism
does good. The main object of these
articles is to induce thought and SEN
sible criticism OF subjects which need
to be kept constantly alive.
The general conviction forced upon
ms whilst writing these articles Is that
happiness is unnecessarily scarce and
unhaepiness unnecessarily plentiful;
and that an immense amount of unhar-
piness could be avoided by trying ones
level best to be UNSELFISH.
Yes, I know that's q hard task. for
it's natural to be selfish; which ac-
counts for the expression "self-preser-
walton is the first law of nature" and
also each for himself and God for US
ALL" also devil take the hindmost."
But those are expressions of the
brutal, animal instinct: unworthy of
world which is rapidly becoming re-
fined And even the animals teach us
a lesson; ~fer won't the mother bear
fight to the last gasp for her cubs, and
won't the cubs snarl and snap at the
hunter over the mothers dead body?
Man must beware how he descend
below the level Of the mere animal
and become inferior to the wild beast.

Well, my friend. shes still your

mother you could never have had your
partner. Don't you see that you owe

You are young now and she is old.
Some day. IL you live, YOU'LL BE
OLD, and you'H be very, very glad

A woman Is never too old TO be

The sourness of old age Is caused by
the unkindness of the young. Nothing
sours like unkindness and nothing

Kindness to the old mother under your

So shall you find that the happiness

HOW TO PREVENT TYPHOID
By Dr. S. R. Mallory Kennedy. Member Board Health

Last Sunday / wrote on How Ty-
kphnia Is Transmitted" and told you
what to do in order to protect your
iaelf and the community in general
from the ravages of this prevsntable
disease.
Today L propose TO tell you about
another means to prevent typhoid,
namely: Vaccination.
AS far back as 1883 we find WIdeland
Ghantemesse in France doing research
work along the line of typhoid vacci-
ination. In 1892 an italian named Bru-
schettini proved that he could success
fully vaccinate an animal against what
would otherwise have been fatal doses
,of typhoid. germs.
In 1898 Wright introduced anti-Gy-
phoid vaccination In the British army,
and it is due to his untiring efforts
along this line. and the fact that he
was able to prove beyond the shadow
of doubt the efficacy OF this method
hof prev enting typhoid, that it has come
1nto general use IN practically every
teivi1ized country at the present day.
While at first its use was confined to
rendering immune armies, its immun-
izing effects have become so generally
known that enlightened citizens OF all
hcommunities are getting their physi-
cians to administer the vaccine to
1henl, especially if there is any typhoid
kfever present in the cities in which
Fhey live, or If they are compelled TO
sGe into q community where it exists.
Significant Figures.
