Mrs. Smith is at present a novitiate
in the convent. The story of her de-
cision to give her life to the order was
told by Mrs. Clews yesterday. She
said:
To Give Life to Poor.
at seems a human sacrifice that
is almost an impossibility, but the
fact remains that my lovely sister has
decided to give up her life to the
poor. As hard as it is to have her
forsake her old life, which was an
ideally beautiful and useful one, both
l and my sister, Mrs. James r. Sulli-
van, of Philadelphia, feel that pro-
tests are of no avail. The sweet ac-
ceptance by my sister of her present
hardships-or what would be hard
ships to me-is pathetic to US all,

"The step is taken after long
months of serious consideration
Much of my sisters life has bean
given to helping those less fortunate

and when her baby passed away, she
spent more and more of her time in
work among the very needy.
Lives Amidst Poverty.
The order which she has entered
is comparatively new one, having
been established about six years ago.
Both Cardinal Farley and Monsignor
Lavelle are intensely interested in 1t,
and my sister talked matters over
with both of them. Now she is in
the most forlorn and poverty stricken
part of the East Side.

"I went back and told my sister.
She spoke with the mother superior,

must work. Then there Is a bread
line and a kitchen where poor men

thousand hungry men, many Of

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, June 25.
The second team of the 25th 1nfan-
try trimmed the first team to the tune
Of Q to 8 Monday afternoon. The game
was played as a result of challenge
by a team composed of aspirants for
positions on the regimental team, and
as a result of their defeat the latter
team are required by agreement to
give a party to their victOrs.
Though the second team made more
errors and fewer hits by one than
the first team, they frightened up at
critical moments and were able to
connect with the ball at times when a
hit would count.
The regimental team was ahead TN
til the 9Th inning, making runs in
the first three innings off of Scott
but were unable to do, much with
Dunlap's offerings during the last six
frames. Dunlap pitched star bah for
the second team.
When the Sth inning opened the
score was to 6 in favor of the first
team. Mcdonald who was in the box
allowed a number of hits and with
ragged support behind him for the
fraction of minute, the second team
chased across the three needed runs
to win the game.
