THE FUNCTION or MoDEsTY.

Modesty is to the virtue of purity
city. AS long as the fort holds out
the city is secure, but when the fort
is captured by the enemy the city will
be forced to surrender. In the same
way maidenly modesty protects female
purity, and this explains the plea
which the Church makes in season
and out of season for modesty in dress,
modesty in demeanor and modesty in
controlling the senses which are the
channels through which so many
temptations pass to the soul.
In spite of the tendency to brand
as sensational every reference to
modern feminine fashion in dress,
Catholic writer's should not regard
the subject as outside the sphere OF
their activity. Everything of human
interest is legitimate subject of dis
cussion, and where saints like Jerome
and Augustine, and Popes like Leo
XIII and Plus x lead, writer's of lead
ing articles for the Catholic press
should not, hesitate to follow. But
when the opponents of Catholic moral
teaching take up the question of the
moderation to be observed in feminine
apparel if the virtue of modesty is to
perform it's proper function, it must
not be understood that they plead for
dowdiness. If Francis de Sales
wished his penitents to be becoming
ly attired, we need have no hesitation
in maintaining that elegance in dress
is compatible with modesty. If Cath.
ole Prelates have seen fit to raise
their voice in protest against the
audacity which is so conspicuous in
modern feminine attire it is because
they perceive the tendency of Catho.
lie women not only to ape the extreme
eccentrieities of fashion, butt also to
cultivate them in their church-going
clothes, and for this reason the Cath.
Ole paper which is the helper of the
Church in the cause of moral conduct
as well as sound teaching, >expresses
the hope that Catholic women will not
single out the matter of dress to show
their indocility to the Church's wishes
Every Catholic woman should be an
apostle of good taste, and these days
of retrenchment not only in food, but
in clothes, should be an appropriate
season to start new apostolate.

A GOOD ARGUMENT FOR
CELIBACY.

Basil Kings latest story, "The
Lifted VEIL" which was among the
six best-selling books of fiction for
March, according to America" is
a good argument for the celibacy of
the clergy. Rev. Arthur cambridge,
a fashionable New York minister, is
visited by heayily-yeiled woman,
who tells him of her life and seeks
council. He afterwards meets her in
society,", and without realizing that
she was his penitent, becomes en-
gagged to her. To one of his scan

FRENCH MARTYR OF THE
BLESSED SACRAMENT.

At the time of the Huguenot wars
in France, period sof disastrous in
ternecine warfare, owing to the spread
of Professionalism in that country, the
feast of Corpus Christi was celebrated
one year with special solemnity and
festal joy in a certain village, the in
habitants of which all remained true
to the faith of their forefathers.
The road along which the procession
passed led by the side of a copse, Dor
dering the grounds of a gentleman
who had apostatized, and openly en-
braced the Huguenot heresy. Now as
the procession slowly wound it's way
by the edge of this wood, one of the
villagers, walking in it's ranks at a
short distance behind the Blessed Sac
ran1ent, happening to turn his eyes in
that direction, observed man, partly
concealed by a tree, in the act of
taking aim with his gun at the priest
who was carrying the monstrance.
Knowing that the murderous weapon
was pointed not so, much at the priest
himself as at the sacred Host, since
that was an object of peculiar hatred
to the hereto, the villager, forgetful
of all but the ardent faith and holy
Indignation that animated him, sprang
forward without "a moments hesita-
tion
He reached the spot in time to in
terpose himself between the vile apos-
tate and the hatred object against
which his gun was leveled at the very
instant that the shot was fired. Nor
tally wounded, he fell at the feet of
the priest, who, perceiving that life
was not extinct, had the presence of
mind and the happy inspiration to
take the Host out of the monstranee
and administer it to the dying hero
saying: My son, by thy gallant act
thou hast proved myself worthy to
receive the Body Of Our Lord, Whom
we this day publicly adore" A few
minutes later the martyr to his love
| for the Blessed Sacrament expired
and went to receive the reward Of
those who lay down their lives in de

gives weight to ones opinion. It
guarantees success in politics, and
without it no one can expect to reach
high station in public life. 1t brings
ease, friends, and-they imagine-it
brings happiness.
Is For the final acquisition of wealth
they sell out five, ten and sometimes
twenty of the best years of their lives.
Their one idea during this time is to
hoard. They neglect health; their
minds gain no additional expansion or
richness; they do not grow in genial
ty, kindness and sympathy; their
moral nature contracts and ossifies.
The passing years bring no increasing
depth and fullness of character nor
access of ymanliness.
At the end, they have become .rea-
sonably wealthy. In many instances,
their long-lookedfor ease for enjoy
ment is postponed from year to year
until little more" is added to their
property. Granting the widest scope
of possibilities" to our wealthy man,
it is yet questionable whether he has
derived his full share of happiness out
of life. He may have friends, but
what is the friendship that wealth
usually inspires? He may have ease,
but it is to be but for brief span of
years, and the heyday of his youthful
vigor is over. He may endeavor to
leave his impress on the worlds opin-
ion, in the domain of government, in
the field of letters, in the shape of
large buildings and extensive improve
ments, but what he does is but the
writing of name upon the sands of
the shore.
Everybody now living must sooner
or later feel that true happiness in
this life is not possible. Our happiest
hours are cloyed with the instinct of
their .transiency. The earlier this
great fact is recognized, the better 1t
will lead us to set no store on future
years of an earthly paradise, but will
prompt us to live cheerfully in the
present, bravely taking up our bur-
dens and conscientiously performing
our allotted tasks. We will grow with
the passing years, not greedily hoard
ing money, but still Industrious and
frugal. What our delirious, nervous,
money-malzing American life needs is
a little Old World quiet, composure
and ease.
