THE GEISHA.
BY c. F. M.
(continued.)

During the first few days Wendes
spent all his time in little pleasure
trips, and taking in the sights. But
the first burst of enthusiasm having
passed away, he began to settle down
at the hotel and study the various
characters who frequented that cara
vansary
The majority were English, Scotch
and Americans. A few ladies and
young girls, armed with the omni-
present kodak in one hand and guide
OF Nagasaki in the other, reigned with
undlsputable sway over the guests of
KiWaci. From that air of indie
pendence, so unintelligible to a Euro
pean, their manner of dress, their
speech, and, above all, the perfect GER
tainty with which they discoursed on
every subject, one could see at a
glance that they belonged to that divi-
sion of the gentler sex styled globe
trotters. The men were, nearly all of
them, merchants, capitalists, en-
gineers, or travelling companions of
the untiring females in their sublime
and noble mission of encircling the
globe. AS Wendes felt no admiration
for this class of people, he remained
wrapt up in himself and his own
thoughts.
But there was one person i'm the
hotel who soon proved an irresistible
attraction to the young Teuton; the
youthful o Fana.
One evening, returning rather late
to the hotel there was no one about to
render the customary services. On
9 sudden he was aware that o Faua,

PERFECT ORGANIZATION.

Speaking in Wesley Chapel, Phila-
delphia, some time ago, DR.. Dimmick,
whom we have quoted before, paid
this tribute to the Church:
In her form of government the
Catholic Church eXcels other churches.
1t may be little severe and auto
cratic in some particulars; the truth
remains, however, that it is the most
perfectly organized Church in Chris
tendon.
with her people the Church has
not lost all authority and her people
are willing to keep her commandments

child? Oh! how I long to inhale the
sweet odor of the campfire trees of
my village! If but met someone who
had seen the fruit trees around nv
dwelling, I would ask him if the flow
ers were wilted, if the birds still sing
merrily at break of day, if the beauti-
ful white gulls still swoop down over
the bay during the time of full moon

The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1917-03-03

AT this sudden and blunt demand
Wendes remained speechIess A new
torrent of affection rushed to his
heart, and the hot blood mantled his
cheek. What! he marry a japanese
girl. He bind himself forever to a
woman of the yellow race, of that
race which he considered half bar
barous, and infinitely below the refine
ment, culture and civilization of the
glorious land of the Kaisers! What
would his parents, his relatives, his
friends ever say? Could he ever be
really happy welded to such one?
Could he really surrender his heart to
her?
These and many more thoughts
passed in rapid succession through
the brain of the young Teuton, and
completely bewildered him. And yet
and yet he could not bring himself
to offer a peremptory no! If Kiwaci
had made this proposal to him week
before, he would have taken it as a
mortal offense, an insult that could be
wiped out only by a bloody duel; now
he listens and not only does not feel
offended, but cannot make up his
mind, and the emphatic negative dies
on his lips! What strange transforms
ton has been going on in the mind
and heart of Henry Wendes?
The Japanese eyed the stranger
keenly. and went on smoking leisure
ly.
WELL Henry finally said, 81 shall
consider your offer. Give me few
days to reflect on the matter. and in
the meantime promise me that you
will not in any way annoy o Fana."
You shall have no cause for COM

but one word, and the beautiful pearl

RARY-WEEK

The Census Bureau estimates
that on an average one in eight
of all tiir babies born in the u.
S. die before they are twelve
months old. But this average
does not tell the whole story, for
more babies die in some districts
than i'm others and nn such an
average may mean that in some
groups one i'll three of all the
babies die and in others only one
in twenty five.
The Children's Bureau in the
course of its intensive study of in
FAINT mortality i'm selected typical
American Communities has found
within ON" community an infant
death rate varying in the different
wards from one baby in twenty to
about one in four.

aims to show the community what

tion>. and to show all the mot hers
of the country that there is a
