NO FANCY FRILLS
TO MGR. THOMAS
New Pastor of st. Patrick's
Plain American Citizen and
a Newspaper Man.

He's a plain American citizen. with
no frills or particular fancies; lover
Of ragtime music and light operas, and
a newspaper man.
This describes adequately enough the
characteristics Of Mgr. Cornelius F..
Thomas, new pastor OF St Patrick 5
Church, who this week took over the
reins OF his new charge.
OF medium height, with kindly, in
telligent face, a perpetual smile. and a
suspicion Of gray around his temples,
Father Thomas looks the part Of the
quiet, unassuming priest. His greeting
radiates a feeling OF warmth that Is in
spring, and his simple, understanding,
unaffected smile is an invitation to the
visitor to break at once into conversa-
ton without the usual conventional re-
marks.
Loves Outdoors-
Father Thomas is a lover Of the great
outdoors. He has a roadster and in 1t
he tears of mile after mile through the
country, ever on the lookout for new
scenes and interesting places.
1T has hauled me many a mile and
I feel a human interest in that car"
was the way he mentioned the machine
Here Is an example of what the con-
gregation at st. Patrick's can expect
from Father Thomas, in the way OF
brevity OF remarks. simplicity OF ex-
preston and sincerity.
This Is his own statement on his COM
ing to Washington:
81 appreciate the prominence and
Importance OF this pastorate. / shall
try to initiate the zeal and work OF
my predecessors. / shall have no
formal installation for fear the
preacher might set too high a stand
ard and lead you to expect too much
from me. 1 shall do my best"
Gets Sleepy At Theater.
Monsignor Thomas gets sleepy IL
he tries to stick out a whole per-
formance at the theater, although
he is very fond OF the opera and es-
pecially comedies that have tuneful
songs and comical situations
And-but this is inside information
Father Thomas admitted he likes
to look at the Sunday funny papers!
Art for arts sake Is the secret OF
his enjoyment OF poetry and paint
ings. He says he's not a deep stu
dent OF poetry, because he doesn't
understand all OF II and he can't ap-
preciate what isn't perfectly clear
and plain in poetry and art
Father Thomas is q stanch be-
'liever in the advice of Benjamin
Franklin about early to bed and
early to rise.
Rarely Up Late.
"Ten o'clock is my retiring time"
he said. After that begin to get
sleepy and 1t is rare that remain
up later"
Father Thomas is pleased with
Washington.
He Is inclined to accept as twenty
four carat solid the claims OF Wash
ington residents that in the spring II
is the most beautiful city in America.
The broad streets, rows of trees with
leaves out, flower gardens and fam
GUS residences have already captured
his heart and the city will have no
stronger booster during his pastorate
here than Mgr. Cornelius F. Thomas,
head of st. Patrick's.
