"WHAT EVIL HAVE ! DONE"

Some members of the devout female
sex-yes, even shining lights in the
'Sodality," if you pleaseH-have grown
passing wise in their own conceits.
Scripture speaks of wicked creatures
who, after committing a horrible
crime, wipe their lips and say, What
evil have .done?" But they were
only criminals of the deepest dye,
says the Liguorian; nowadays some
of our Children of Mary" after parad-
ing streets and depot platforms in
lewd apparel or taking part in
shameless dance or hanging around
until all hours with a strange man,
wipe their lips when reprimanded by
those that have authority over them
and say: What evil have done?'
Ny child, shame on you for asking
such a question. Christian Modesty
forbids that any one should tell you
what evil you have done. Is not the
lily of chastity of sufficient worth
that you should be glad to preserve
it's delicate Wilderness from all dan
ger? You sully it even by seeking an
explanation of the danger. Pure
Christian maidens humbly and simply
acquiesce in the direction of parents
and pastor without brazenly asking,
What evil have l done?"

| had heard by chance that my great
uncle had died in an asylum, and
being myself at the time of receiving
this information in state of nervous
tension and general debility, the awful
horror of some day meeting the fate
of my ancestor overpowered me. Oh,
how | suffered"

When they had finished eating they
hurried forth to the street and turned
eastward. The air was fragrant with
honeysuckle which fringed the yards
here and there, and the two walkers
shifted the perfume with pleasure as
they hurried on.
Neither Ed nor Ffnney said a word
for some time, but both felt that a
new bond, strong, an undying bond,
had been established between them,
one which could never be severed.
Finally Finney did try to tell his
friend in few short sentences how
much the Catholic Church was al
ready beginning to mean to him and
of what he felt convinced it would
mean to him. He tried to express his
deep gratitude for all that Ed had
done towards showing him the light,
but in touching upon this phase of
the subject his throat became uncom-
Portable and he at last gave up in
despair. He could tell. though, that
his friend understood.
1t was then that Linden, respond
ing to the simple and unsuccessful
attempts of his companion to bespeak
gratitude. informed Finney that he,
too, must thank his Protestant friend
for having rendered him a lasting
service
What do you mean?" asked Fin
ney. surprised. II have certainly
never done anything for you. I am
the debtor"
Ed smiled to himself in the gloam-
ing and then proceeded, quietly and
feelingly, to tell Finney of that dark
and hideous nightmare which had
haunted his mind day and night for
SO long, some months ago-the deep
seated, morbid fear of becoming in
sane.
Il became obsessed of the idea" he
said, shuddering. II was drunk with
the thought. Wherever | turned, the
CLOUD was there. lowering upon me,

FRIENDS.

Linden readily consented and few
moments later had slammed his desk
and joined Finney, who was now pac-
ing the floor, abstractedly.
On their observation-disclosures
hikes the two companions were in the
habit of stopping at a certain pic
turesque little wayside cafe at Dublin
Street, where a wholesome and mex
pensive repast could be had. So, on
this occasion they sought their fam
iliar corner in the restaurant, over
under gilt framed picture of Lorna
Doone."
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1918-09-07

Ed started so violently that he
dropped the menu card.
Your conversion" he asked, in
credibly.
'Of course, you dub! l am taking
instructions from Father Vendrone. :"
Ed was speechless with happiness.
why didn't you say SO at f1rst?'
he said after pause. Il already
knew you had met him, and from the
way you started your little speech
just now l feared you were going to
begin some long harangue. / dared
not hope that you actually--oh, I'm
so glad, old fellow I'm 3d.
His voice failed him, and grasping
Finney's hand, he shook it warmly.
Then, sitting back in his chair, he
eyed his friend with pride and joy.
Finney's matter-of-fact blue eyes
fairly danced now

1t was here, amid an atmosphere of
quiet and even restfulness, that Fin
ney, without any predatory remarks
whatsoever, unburdened himself of
the news which he had so doggedly
and persistently concealed from his
friend for the past few days.
"Old boy, it has happened" he said
grinning broadly. .
WHAT" asked Ed, with subdued
excitement
Il have met a priest" was the an
nouncement
Linden was just about to remark
that he was acquainted with the fact
when he remembered himself, and
fastened to express his pleasure at
hearing the news.
And Ed continued Finney. hes
the priest of the universe, prince,
the finest fellow that ever wore the
cloth"
'Who is it," asked Ed.
Father Vendrore, of Mount Saint
Hilary's College"
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1918-09-07

Ed couldn't help smiling at his
friends enthusiasm.
Well l have met the gentleman,
too" he said lightly. And he is, as
you say, an unusual man. However,
all the priests are like him. He is no
exception"
''Then l want to meet the whole
bunch of them" was the emphatic
declaration and Finney, having de-
livered it, sat back and eyed his com
panion.
Linden remained silent After a
minutes pause it began to be borne
home to Finney that the auditor was
not manifesting that excessive inter
est and qualification at hearing the
news conveyed which had been ex-
pected of him, and he lost no time in
saying so.
Il must say" he demonstrated,
that you don't seem howlingly glad
to learn of my conversion"

CHRISTMAS MUSINGS

ON Vashon Island, Christmas eve, 1909
Last night | sat and pondcred long,
Alone, all NIL alone:
out on mn island called Vashon,
Far, far away from home.
pondered, yes, on years agone,
When friends galore were near:
But now, far from the rushing throng,
No one lends me his cheer.
Outside, the snow came gently down,
In flakes, some large some small,
Beating anon against the pane,
AS II they'd gladly call.
On, on they fell into the night,
Busy indeed were they,
Clothing the trees and shrubs in white
For the glorious Christmas day.
And now, that day OF all the year,
Is truly here at last:
But ere these lines to you appear,

neighboorhood to send delegates

because Of most of us shopping in

Vashon- Center ladies voted to
become an auxiliary to Seattle,
and will meet every Tuesday, all
day, at Odd Fellows hall, Center.

This year more than ever it is the
little things in the wardrobe that
count. When war economy demands
but one frock or one suit it is neces-
sary to find little accessories which
will disguise them once in a while
and make them look like new. Neck
wear seems to be the most import
ant OF these accessories. Organdie
was the most popular fabric for col
lar and cuffs during the summer
months, in fact, it was really. the
rage. The new fall necRwear, how
ever, is a far cry from organdie. It
is net and filet lace. Perhaps. the
reason for the change is the fact that
organdie brushes so very easily that
it would not be attractive after be-
ing worn under a heavy coat or fur.
The dainty collar and vcstee pic
tured is of val lace and net. 1t is
made with a rather conventional col
lar in the back but the front has the
new Jenny neckline with wide net
friIl edging It, The front Of the
vestee is trimmed with tiny ruffles
of the lace. Such collar is espe-
cialIy attractive when worn with
Elton froeks or suits or with such a
novel sweater as the striking one
pictured. This sweater is slip-on
model OF q rich shade Of brown with
yellow stripes on the broad lapels.
A fancy stitch is used for the blouse
part while the peplum is purled. The
color combination is unusually at
tractive for fall wear.
