ROME HAD sUFFRAGETTEs, Too
Reminders Are Found of Ancient
''Conventus Matronalis."

Reminders Are Found of Ancient
"Conventls Matronalis."
Rome, June 9.-The historian
Lampridius in his life of the EN-
peror Elagabalus, who reigned for
less than four years and was slain
at the age of 1S with his mother,
Julia So@mis, by the praetorians on
March II, A. D. 222, relates that the
Emperor's mother, who encouraged
and shared the follies and enormi-
ties of her son, took a place in the
Roman senate and was herself the
president of a sort of female parlia-
ment. which held it's sittings near the
Quirinal. and published edicts for
the regulation of all matters con-
nected with morals, dress. etiquette
and equipages of the matrons.
The site of this female parliament
has now been identified by Prof.
Pasqui, who discovered the remains
Of building under the palace of the
Marchesa Bourbon del Monte, close
to the Porta Salaria. Two female
marble statues without heads and
arms were found lying on the pave
ment of a large room, the walls of
which bear traces of colored fres-
Goes. Fragments of marble columns
which originally supported the roof
of large hall or assembly room
also were found. The Identification
of the site is based on the special
kind of dress and sandals worn by
the two statues. which are almost
identical with the tunic and shoes
which were the insignia of sena-
torial rank.
The location of the site between
the gardens of Sallust and the
Baths of Diocletian, on the Quirinal
hill, corresponds to the description
of another historian, Vospiscus, who
relates that Aurelian restored the
female parliament. A so-called
"conventus matronalis." or associa-
ton OF matrons, probably preceded
the female parliament, the identifi-
cation of which will undoubtedly be
used in favor of modern female suf-
frage.

A LITTLE STORY WHICH SHOULD
STRIKE HOME.
R., ShaAla AG.hox
BY Shiala Mallon

A Catholic woman living in an
apartment hotel, took notice of a
smart young colored boy. about
fifteen years old. He was bell boy
and every one had good word to
say about his politeness and good
service to the guests. Every morn
ing the Catholic woman attended
and every time she went out the bell
boy had respectful Good Morn
ing" for this particular woman. One
morning she happened to drop her
prayer book, which the boy picked
up. The leaves had flown open and
a picture of the priest celebrating
mass with small boy in attendance
was visible.
II used to serve mass" said the
boy, when I was at home in the West
Indies. but I don't now," he said,
and there was regretful note in his
voice. why don't you now" asked
the lady?
oval I jest had to give it up when
I came here. Colored people are not
much liked here. Many white folks
don't seem glad to see them in
church. dunno why. God made
us all guess" he added with
whimsical smile. Anyhow I don't
go to church any more"
But that is very wrong" said
the lady. "You must commence
again at once. There is exposition
of the Blessed Sacrament going on
in the church go to. Don't you
get half holiday to-day?
YES" said the boy, but I am
going to play baseball" am sorry.
"A'll go with you some other day."
he added.
You'll come to-day" said the
lady firmly. Nov that know that
you are Catholic. I have no hesi-
tation in saying you must 60. feel
sure our Dear Lord in the Blessed
Sacrament has directed me to you,
so be ready at twelve o'clock.
1t was hard work to get the boy
to 60. He had grown careless, no
interest being taken in him, but the
lady persevered and the boy accom-
panied her. It was as If miracle
had been wrought. From that day
the boy attended to his religious
duties and was the means of bring
ing other Negro boys into the fold.
The moral is. that an opportunity
comes across case of this kind. If
one has not the time to follow it up,
it should be put in the hands Of Rev.
John E. Burke, Director-General of
Catholic Colored Missions, with
Natic*nal Headquarters in the Metro

sion; The conversion of the negro in
America and to help keep the faith

the means of helping on this great
work.
