September 29-Katharine MeAuley.

The woman who founded the Order OF
Mercy, Katharine McAuley. was born
September %. 17S7 near Dublin. Ireland.
Though she was a member of an old
Catholic family. on the death OF her
parents she was adopted by rigidly
Protestant family. There. although she
did not consent to become Protestant,
she lived without strict religious princi-
pies for several years. At Is she was
adopted by another Protestant family
named Callahan. and with them she be-
came so devout in her religious practice
that she converted the Galatians. who
treated her with all the love and feeling
that they would had she been their own
child. On their death when she was
nearly 10 she inherited their immense
fortune.
Her ambition for many years had
been to devote her life to the poor and.
now finding herself free to dispose OF
her life as she chose and possessed Of
enormous means, she bought house in
one of the worst sections of Dublin and
with two companions established a house
there where she nursed and cared for the
poor. calling 1t the House of Our Blessed
Lady Of Mercy. Leaving her two COM
panions there she soon went to study for
the religious life at neighboring con-
vent and. in 1929 when she was AZ. she
received the religious dress and returned
to her house in Dublin to start the re-
lieious training Of the women who had
given their lives to continue the good
work she had begun. They called them
selves the Sisters of Mercy and founded
their rule on that of the Presentation
nuns. To the usual threefold vows they
added another. TO devote their lives to
the POOR sick and ignorant. In 1887.
sixty years after Katharine McAuley
took her religious VOWS. and forty-six
years after her death, the order had
spead to England. Newfoundland. the
United States Australia, Scotland. New
Zealand and South America. There were
at that time 1l5 houses of the order In
Ireland and sixty in Great Britain.

Answers to Correspondents.

Mrs.NG. H. L. writes: Both my chill
dren have weak eyes-conjunctivitis,
one of my neighbors says it is. What
would you advise me to do?''
You might try an eye wash of bor-
acic acid dissolved in water. Some
times a little redness of the lids is
caused by colds or a disturbance of
the digestion. Make a weak solution of
the boracic acid-your druggist will
prepare it for you-and give a dose
of ca astor oil to the children. II this
treatment does not cure the redness
I would advise you to let a physician
see the children.
Mrs. T. S f. asks: DO you believe
In corporal punishment? My husband
says it is the only way to make chill
dren mind"
do not believe in letting children
go unpublished, no matter what rules
they break. I think. though we are
too apt to chastise our children fire.
ouently and severely for many things
that might well go with a word of
reproof. AS last resort. when other
means have failed. it is sometimes nee
essary to whip a child, but it is al
ways better to rule by love than by
the rod.

your offense. Do you ever stop to think
that she might lose her respect for
you if you acknowledged you had
wronEed her?
Then why not apologize to your
child when you have wronged him in
the heat of your anger? Edward How
ard Griggs, in one of his splendid
talks says. 1T is thus that the real
respect of the child is kept-not the
notion Of our supposed infallibility,
sure to be shattered sooner or later.
but the reverence that comes from
seeing more and more clearly that,
through all our mistakes. we have
been striving not for our ease and
comfort. but for the childs welfare"
Children are keener judges of hu-
man nature than We give them credit
for; your child knows when you have
put yourself in the wrong in regard
to him. but he will forgive you sooner
and love you the more If you go to
him as one human being to another
and acknowledge your mistake.

ARE you A GOSSIP!


a woman who is trying to put stop
to malicious gossip about her daugh-
ter. She has put an advertisement in
a local newspaper threatening to have
the gossips forced in court to prove
the truth of the stories they have been
circulating.
"AH these parties have to do" she
explains in her advertisement, us to
stand over their gates all day and
peek at their neighbors all night to
see what they can find to talk about
next day"
Just for the sake Of justice we
would like to see this mother OF Hav-
crstraw actually force these idlers to
recant. That is if it would make them
see the error of their ways and put
stop to their habit of gossiping. But
probably it would make them gossip
all the harder. 1t is such a deep root
ed habit-this habit that is bred of
idleness, shallow mindedness and un-
kindness.
Speaking OF gossip, we have heard
il said more than once that when 1t
comes to gossiping-in high circles
and low, by men and women, in Off
cial life and out-there is no city that
can hold a candle to our own. Wash
inptonians naturally become interest
ed in the prominent folk who come
here, and somehow it doesn't seem to
most of us as if gossipirg about no
tables was the same thing as the back
fence brand OF gossip that centcrs
about ones neighborS. Then Wash
ireton folk have plenty OF time
Hours of work arc shorter than in
most cities and many Washington
residents arc persons OF leisure. So
the evil spirit Of gossip has chance
TO spread its wings. 1t gives US such
an air OF importance, an air OF de-
liciouS intimacy, il VIC can recount
some more or less Savory piece OF
news about some one in official llfc.
