Shoes Lace OP t6e Baek

TIT AGING 'em up the back Is the latest
 form of exercise devised by the bootmakers for the feminine sex. The conservative front lacing and the more recent radical side lacing are, if prominent shoe manufactures is to be believed, to give way to a rear fasten-' ing characterized to turn that portion of the human race which becomes ad- dicted to them into a set of caiisthenic experts that will make Houdini look like crowbar in comparison.
 Already the saleswomen who will have to fit customers in the new style have been thrown into veritable fiut- ter at the prospect.
 Our fitting stools will be of no earthly use whatever" say they, "afid getting a woman into a boot lik that will be exactly like shoeing a horse. Perhaps we shall even be forced to lie prone on the floor in order to effect perfect fit. Alas, for our poor backsi" The plight of the woman who buys the boot is no less pathetic than that of the one who sells it, particularly if the former is of considerable avoirdry>< pois. A whole new set of calisthenics. based on Sthe principles of those used by the ladies in. the circus who can bend backward and pick up a handker- chief with their teeth, will of necessity come into vogue. In fact, in the opin- ion of those interested in the subject tying and untying the knots with the seeth may be vastly easier when it must be done from the rear than per forming the same feat with the fip- gers. a4t NE
 Before women achieve the supple ness essential to a speedy lacing, how7 ever, it is expected that alarm clocks will have to be set back a whole half hour especially for the business wo- man whose duties demand her pres- ence downtown at certain time. However, what is a half hour when style is concerned?

YsHIs Is distinctly 2 period of good
 grooming among women. The slow enly though perhaps artistic looking woman is no longer in the running. The woman who has the features of a Greek goddess and yet neglects to have her hair properly shampooed and dress ed creates more adverse comment than the woman of irregular, even poor, features who shows the good effect of careful grooming.
 Good grooming is simply immaculate Cleanliness and exquisite attention to details of the person. but in their anx- iety to acquire this effect women are prone to adopt cosmetics or to employ means for reducing defects wherein the remedy is more undesirable than the defect itself. The wise woman is she who emphasizes all her good points so that they may outshine and attract from her defects. When defect is so deep rooted as to require radical treat n1ent it is far better for woman to ig- nore it's existence than to endanger her personal appearance. and perhaps her health, by trying to treat herself.

Pioneer Laymen of North America. By
Rev. T. J. Campbell, S. j. Pub
lished by the America Press, New
York. Price, $175. Postage extra.
This new book by Father Campbell,
S. j., tells the fascinating story of
the adventurous Cartier, Menendez,
Champlain, De La Tour, Maisonneuve,
LIE Moyne, and Radisson. The many
admirers of Father Campbelfs his.
torical works will find in these
sketches companion pictures to his
popular Pioneer Priests of North
America" They are condensed and
somewhat rapid variations of the
lives of number of men who were
conspicuous in the days when civilian
ton was being brought to this con-
tlnent: explorers, founders of states
and colonies, governors of provinces,
commandments of forts, captains of
vessels. officers of the regular army,
leaders of the reckless coureurs de
bois, daring traders who, in the inter
ests OF commerce, ventured alone
among the savages, besides pirates,
filibusters and peaceful colonists.
They are mostly Frenchmen, or
native-born Canadians, but there are
few Spaniards, an occasional Eng
lishman, and towards the end, a dis
tlnguished man who is frequently put
down as Scotch, but who constantly
insisted on his Irish origin. "A great
state on the Pacific slope claims him
as its founder. The field of their
operations was extensive, for it
stretched from ocean to ocean and
from Hudson Bay as far south as
Brazil.
Some of them are ideal heroes and
may be proposed as models; the glory
OF others is sadly tarnished;. and a
few are subjects of reproach. From
all, however, lessons of conduct may
be learned, and, here and there, in
the course of a narrative, it is pos
sible to correct certain false apprecia-
tons of facts and motives which a
class of biased writer's have fastened
on American history. The series is
arranged chronoIogically SO that the
various sections connect more or less
with one another.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
TRIBUTE TO FATHER DoNAHoE
Office of Clerk of Juvenile Court,
st. Paul, Mimi, May 2S, 1915.

Office of Clerk of Juvenile Court,
ST. Paul, Mimi, May 20, 1915.
Rev. James Reardon,
Catholic Bulletin.
Rev. and dear Father
A splendid and deserved tribute was
that paid to Rev. James Donahoe at
yesterdays luncheon of the charity
workers of the city, who voiced their
regret at the latterIs departure to
Minneapolis in suitable resolution.
Present at the luncheon were the
representatives of twelve organization
as follows: Juvenile Court, Catholic
Guild, Protestant League, Wilder Char
ity, Jewish Charity, Associated Chart
ties, Humane Society, Babies Wei
fare, Sunshine Society, Protestant
Orphan Asylum, City Hospital and
State Training School.
M. ]. Donnelly, clerk of the Juvenile
Court, presided, and announced that
Father Donahoe, for many years {
city missionary, had been assigned to
parish work in Minneapolis. He
spoke of the splendid work done by
Father Donahoe during his labors in
st. Paul and how by his zeal and
devotion to duty he had endeared him
self to his co-Workers. Upon the
reading of the tribute appropriate re.
marks were made by Mr.. Stillman,
Rev. Mr.. Haupt, Mrs. O'Toole, Mrs.
Wirth, Miss Willard, Mrs. Fox and
others.
Father Donahoe spoke with much
feeling and told how it grieved him
to part with his associates between
whom and himself, he was proud to
say, always existed the strongest
bond of friendship To have earned
the commentator of such men and
women was a great reward indeed
At the suggestion of Miss Grace
Johnston, an excursion trip of the
charity workers down the river was
proposed, with Father Donahoe as
guest of honor. The suggestion met
with favor and committee was
named with Mrs. NJ. ]. McFadden as
chairman to perfect the plans.
Personally | wish to say that for
the past five years in my official posi-
ton have worked side by side with
Father Donahoe and have been in a
position to observe his conduct as
priest and man. In every particular
his work has impressed me, as / know
it has impressed the judge of the
court. He has given the best that
is in him and spent his energies in
laboring on behalf of the poor, the
unfortunate and the sinner.
Boundless in his zeal, he has been
unsparing of his physical resources
and rocked not of his personal com.
fort in his charitable activities. He
has given generously of his means to
the needy and no worthy person was
ever turned from his door. Strong in
his convictions on moral questions, he
refused to compromise with evil and
was outspoken in his denunciation OF
those agencies which he knew were
destroying human souls.
| know | voice the sentiments Of all
the charity workers who operate
through this court, and that includes
all of them, that genuine sorrow is
felt over the departure of Father
Donahoe from field where he has
been invaluable. His place will be
difficult, if not impossible, to fill, fol-
men of his personal qualities, moral
worth and peculiar equipment for the
work at hand are few and far between
Yours truly,
NJ J. DONNELLY,
Clerk of Juvenile Court.

Rev. Frederick A. Houck. Publish
ed by d. B. Hansen and Son, Chi
cago. Price, $125; to Priests and
Religious, $1.0O; $3.50 dozen.
The aim of the author in the vol
ume before us is to show that the
material world, which is the temporal
home of man, postulates a Creator
Whose mind devised and hand de
signed it's wonders; that it reflects
His wisdom, power and goodness and
that the contemplation of it should be
a neVer-failing source of faith, hope
l1lu COISOldllOu, u IdJ1Oud1 creatures.
In the first part the Reverend author
explains and refutes the false world
views of modern unbelieyers and then
proceeds to show how the mineral
world, vegetable kingdom and man
himself point to an omnipotent and
loving Creator. Science and Reyela-
ton are the God given guides which
lead man onward and upward from
creature to Creator from the finite to
the Infinite. The harmony between
them is emphasized on every page.
The old arguments for the existence
of God are nlarshalled with cogent
force and the results of scientific re-
search are laid before the reader in
pleasing variety. 1t is an excellent
work for the general reader who
wishes to familiarize himself with the
facts of world science. The press
work is excellent and the binding sub.
stantial.
