Lillis preached the sermon and many
of the local organizations were repre-

Result of Papal Effort
ITALY AND GERMANY TO Ex-
CHANGE PRISONERS.

A meeting of delegates will be held
i'll Switzerland shortly to arrange, as
between Italy and Germany, for the
same exchange or internment of pris-
oners as is in force between Germany
and France. 1t is a case of the re-
turn of prisoners over forty-eight years
old who have been captured more than
eighteen months ago, and for better
system OF medical examination through
which such as are really sick may be
sent to Switzerland for treatment,
which it is impossible for them to get
in internment camps. The initiative
for this came from the Holy Father
long ago.

Catholic Heads Reichstag

The new president of the German
Reichstag, Deputy Fehrenbach, is a
Catholic, having succeeded the Rad
ical, Dr. Kaempf. 1t is customary to
elect as president one of the leading
members of the party which has the
strongest numerical representation in
the Reichstag. The split in the ranks
of the Socialists put the Catholic Cen
ter party in first place; hence the ele-
walton of Deputy Fehrenbach.

Ward-"the pearl of great price
The priests, the brothers, and the
sisters in charge of our universities
and colleges and academies and
schools are not only actuated by the
natural reasons which are incentives
to labor with every human being, but
they are also inspired by higher con-
Sjderations. They are animated chief
ly by the supernatural motive of con
sCcrating themselves to the training
Of youth as a lifelong profession out
OF love for God. All their best ener-
gies are spent on their pupils. All
their highest ambitions are centered
III the classroom. In the bright morn
ing of life they severed the fondest
ties that bind human nature in order
that all the love of their pure hearts
might be in their noble calling. With
them teaching is not used as a make
shift-as a stepping-stone to other
states in life; but it is followed as
their chosen profession, as their cher
iShed life-work, as their religious voca-
ton. The results of their training
e,oquently tell of their success. An
incident from history will serve as an
illustration of my thought. Phidias
the famous sculptor of Ancient Greece
is said to have inserted his own like
ness into one of his masterpieces SO
aTtfully that it could not be effaced
without destroying the whole statue.
Ladies and gentlemen, need | remind
you that there is many a Phidias in
our schools and academies and col
lC3eS and universities-dev la.
boring for the realization of Christian
ideals-producing grander works than
Grecian sculptor ever dreamed of:
The Sisters of st. Joseph have been
at work among you for years fashion
ing masterpieces in human conduct
building up Christian character-fur
nishing leaders and eXemplars among
women on whom they stamp indelibly
the likeness of the Divine Sculptor
the supreme original of all goodness
and truth and beauty-on whom they
put the impress of their own beauti
full lives-the impress of truest
gentlest, purest, noblest womanhood.

q. A. Degrees.
Young women, | congratulate you
on having received your B. A. degrees.
Your college course, which has intro
duced you to the society of the bright
est minds of all the ages-the aristoc
racy of intellect, has endowed you
with the power, the refinement, the
breadth of vision, the range of knowl-
edge, the culture of a liberal educa-
ton. Your study of the humanities
has developed, refined and enriched
your minds. With such a training life
will mean more to you than to the null
titude. After having acquired a lib
eral education-after having laid the
foundation of broad culture, you can
apply yourselves to special subjects
with greater profit and with a firmer
grip. There is practical side to
education which should not be neg
lected, especially in our matter-Of-fact
age in which the struggle for a liveli-
hood is so fierce and heartless. AS
true culture is not incompatible with
specialization, | would advise you to
pursue further studies with a definite
object before you, with the practical
the utilitarian directly in view. l be-
lieve it is Edison who said: This
one thing | know-electricity." Now
question. What one thing do you
know that will enable you to support
yourselves and those who may be de-
pendent on you in after years should
you be thrown upon your own re-
sources? You may now be in pros
perity and be surrounded with every
comfort, but will it be always thus?
that some day you may be required
to turn your attention to self-support
There is more truth than poetry in the
lines:
Were up today on fortunes wheel,
And free from every sorrow;
But in the round of good and ill,
All may be changed tomorrow"
1t is wise, therefore, to ascertain
the aVocations for which you have q
special liking and a natural aptitude,
and to develop your talents along
those lines.
l wish you to be mindful of the
privilege you enjoy in being the re-
cipients of a convent education. To
have pursued your studies in this col
lege is a privilege which spells bless
ings for your after life. Whether you
appreciate your good fortune or not,
it is profoundly true that your con-
vent training is an inestimable bless
emplars of all that is good and true
and beautiful and sweet and pure and
lovable in Catholic womanhood.
| bid you go forth to the world S
broad fields of battle-your minds
stored with knowledge, your hearts
impressed with sound principles, your
foreheads of hope toward the future.
Let it be your tireless aim to develop
the beings that you are, for your worth
in life will depend more on what you
are than on what you know or on
what you have. Let your principle OF
development be that head training and
heart formation must go hand in hand,
would we have the noblest types OF
Catholic women.

a triangle drama with live woman live man
and dead woman; the scenery beautiful Vir-
ginia estate with rare old house nclosing furni-
ture and pictures and ghost But not a thrill not
a chill Something stood between the book and the
reader. 1t was ghost. Not the ghost of Meany
Horsemanden, which was busy engaged with more
romantic persons but the ghost of book. Mid
night came and, the janitor' daughter having vio-
lated her contract, the ghost of the book arrived
and walked the room book with gray cover and

She opens the book and reads:

black clay cutaway, lavender trousers,
very tight; square topped derby,
Congress patent leather shoes, a
gigantic Ascot tie, white, with purple
horseshoes in it. He carries cane,
the handle of which is fashioned after
a persons limb. He is a wild blade,
known to take glass of lager on Sat
urday night. He shoots nervously his
circular cuffs. He is bound to the
home of Clarysse Macomber, upon
whom he is waiting" When night
falls he will sing, in high tenor, "The

In the cottage across from the

aside and crosses the parlor to

was built in 1766 by old Col. Horsemanden to
please his daughter Melany, a naughty beauty
who later loved Godfrey Branton but refused to
marry him because he would not sell his north
ern possessions (the scene of The Ghost Gar
den is /Virginia) and also change his name
to Horsemanden. She swore that she would
love him forever and, should his spirit enter the
body Of another, even a century later she would
draw that spirit to her. Well, it is evident that
Radford inherited Branton's spirit, for no sooner
had he entered the grounds of the old mansion than
he began to recognize things He found his way
about celebrated maze through which none of the
natives had heen able to go. He saw Melahy Horse
manden's grave, which had fresh flowers on it.
A Dear Dead Woman.
That night at supper he met another Melany
Warrenger by name, the daughter of gentleman
who brewed Radford mint julep and told him
all about Melany Horsemanden. Meany Warren
ger used to shiver and turn pale when the baeful
influence of the dead Melaney was mentioned, for,
although it was she who put the flowers the
grave, she knew that the dead Melany hated her.
For one thing, she had had beautiful voice, and
the evil dead Meany had taken it from her. In
the next chapter it became evident that the dead
Melany would also try to keep the live Melany from
winning Mr.. Radford. The action crept rapidly
along in the book, but the chills did not creep
rapidly along the spine of the reviewer. Something
was wrong.

TT says on the jacket of The Ghost
L Garden, by Amelie Rives: eff
you care at all for ghost stories, you II
care very much for this!" Every
body cares for ghost stories, even
the members of the Society for Psy-
chical Research, and book reviewers
have a notorious weakness for them.
Reviewers of the better class own
country houses, surrounded by whis-
pering pines, to which they repair in
the dark of the moon and read, while
the rain dashcs against the pane and
the wind means in the chimney, the
latest ghost story,
Owing to the high cost of travelling
to the country, THE SUNS copy of
The Ghost G0rden was read in West
Eighty-frst street, but the dumb
waiter door, which creaks slightly, was
left unlocked and the cold water tap
in the bath tub was regulated so as to
drip one drop every thirty seconds,
ghostly interval. For a dime the
janitor's oldest daughter agreed to
utter, upon the hour of midnight, the
poignant wall of a soul in torment,
shooting the sound up the dumb
waiter For some reason, perhaps due
to the war, she decided to conserve
both the dime and the wall. The read
ing began:
81 s'pose, bein' from the city, you
don't believe in Chants observed
Joel Carver, turning from last fruit
less survey of the interlaced branches
above them"
That sounded well, to begin a ghost
story with, and the reading went right
on, introducing Mr.. Radford, the hero,
to whom Joel put the question, and
very soon afterward the old deserted
mansion, Her Wish, which was
tenantcd by the chant" Her Wish
