PREPARATION OF THE LORD.
The Echo.

In the Eastern Church the feast
of ST. Joachim was celebrated on
the day following our Lady's birth
day. In the Latin Church the time
of celebration of the feast has
varied. 1t was sometimes celebrated
on the day after the octave of the
Nativity and again on the day fol-
lowing the feast of the Immaculate
Conception In the 10Th century Pope
julius II, remembering the family in
which the ties of nature and of grace
were in such perfect harmony, placed
the solemnity of the feast on the goth
of March, the day following that of
st. Joseph, son-in-law of ST. Joachim.
The critical spirit of the age cast
doubt upon the history of ST. Joachim
Roman Breviary about the middle of
the 18th century. In 1922 Gregory
XIV reestablished this feast and the
Church has since continued to cele-
brate it. When the Holy See was petit
toned to make this feast a day of
obligation, Clement XIII, in 1898
transferred the feast of St Joachim
to the Sunday after the Assumption
of his Daughter, the Blessed Virgin.
The Sovereign Pontiff, Leo XIII, who
was baptised under the name of
Joachim, raised the feast of his glori-
Gus patron to the rank of double
of the second class on the first OF
August, 1879.
In the decree of Leo XIII, ANNOUNCE

feast, we read: ''Ecclesiasticus

have nothing else to do, if you have
them in your pocket.
1t is not necessary to take them
out, and conspicuously display them
to recite them. We know a travel
ing man, for instance, who frequently
on trains, going from one place to
another, takes his beads and recites
them as he holds them in the pocket
Of his coat.
Others say their beads at night as
they walk along the lonely roads or
streets. In fact the number of places

any man or woman finds himself or
herself.

A QUESTION OF MooEsTY.

A correspondent, who signs herself
A Mother, Not Prudish Old Maid"
writes;
Please advise young ladies to dress
modestly in church before the Blessed
Sacrament. Georgette crepe may be
suitable material to wear to ball,
but it is not the proper thing to wear
such filmy stuff in our churches to the
destruction of those preparing to re-
ceive Holy Communion.
No one can controvert the position
you have taken; it has the approval,
not only of prudish old maids, but of
all self-respecting women, married or
single. To dress indecently is to hive
in the state of mortal sin. One may
have her own opinions of what consti-
tutes decent and indecent dressing,
but st. Alphonsus, who is a Doctor of
the Church, as we'll as a great theo-
Logan, teaches that if woman dresses
in such a fashion as to cause sin and
temptation to clean-thinking Chris
tians, she is guilty of grievous sin.
There is no doubt that our Catholic
women and girls have acquired a most
remarkable conscience, or lack of it,
in the matter of dress. They are seen
in positively immodest attire in church
and even at the altar railing kneeling
for Communion. Some Bishops have
instructed priests to refuse Com
munion to persons not sufficiently
dressed. One priest broke up the
practice in his parish by passing
through the church and giving pins
to the offending persons. This is
question that the women themselves
can solve better than any other
natural agency. Let every mother cor
rect the abuse in her own household,
and let the members of Catholic So
cieties agitate and denounce until the
sin is overthrow. Any person who
appears in public indecently attired
is guilty of mortal sin: Catholic
woman who approaches the altar rail
ing so undressed faces danger of a
Sacrilege. 1t is to no avail to plead
lack of bad intentions or utter thought
lessness. The moral sense may be
dulled, and chastity is a gift that may
be forfeited. No one lost virtue or
acquired a vice in day. Time is
required for both, and carelessness
and thoughtlessneSS are contributing
agencies to the loss of the moral
sense. 1t is extremely difficult to ac-
cept the profession of ignorance or
innocence, for the warning and the
protest of the Church have been re-
peated in many forms, and any such
ignorance is culpable.

ORIGIN AND AIM OF soDALITIEs.

Whenever the Holy Father or the
Bishop of a diocese makes an effort
to put new life into Catholic prac-
tees that have grown weak, or have
almost been forgotten in the course
of time, there are always found such
who become somewhat loud in their
protest against the introduction of
something new or that was not
necessary in former years.

CARRYING THE ROSARY.

Many Catholics apparently are un-
aware of the fact that there are spe-
cial indulgences for those who carry
their rosary with them always. Aside
from the indulgences, however. it is
a wise practice for Catholics always
to have their beads with them, be-
cause there are any number of times

HOUSE STILL LOOKS
EAVORAblY ON RECESS
Five Measures, However, Must Be
Acted on Before Rest Il
Taken by Congress.

Prospects OF tho House taking an
early recess by q gentleman.s agree
ment were again discussed on the
floor today. It was brought out that
at least i've measures must be dis
posed Of before this recess. House
Leader Kitchin said that four Of them
should. be disposed of this week.
These are the Nolan three-do1lar-a-
day minimum wage bill, the admin
istration emergency power bill, the
Post ONCE Department bill for pro-
lection Of use and property Of the
telegraph and telephone services dur
ing government operation, and the
bill for rehabilitation of aliens who
served in the Army.
The fifth measure is the urgent de-
fciency bill carrying more than seven
billion dollars, estimated expenses of
the Army. in addition to the regular
Army appropriation bill and the foru-
fications bill already passed.
Mr.. Kitchin said that; this urgent
deficiency bill would probably. be
ready for the House by the end of
next week. Representative Stafford
Of Wisconsin, republican, said the
measure would not take much time, as
there has been complete unanimity
on the part of the House in the pass
ing Of big appropriation bills to carry
on the war"
Mr.. Kitchin said his conferences
with Senate leaders indicate that the
Senate will not have finished its re-
vision of the eight-billfon-dollar rev.
enue bill for five or six weeks. He
made it plain that in taking recess
the members of the House hold them
selves ready to return at any time
that an emergency arises by which
the administration requires special
war legislation.

Stand Of British Labor Party on

Henderson.

By the Associated Press
LONDON. September - (British

made too clear that British labor has
long since placed Belgium outside the
category OF questions upon which
there can be either, negotiations or
compromise. and regards the question
of~Alsace-Lorraine as essentially one

the British labor party leader. in an
interview.
His statement was called out by a
quoted suggestion from Herr Ebert,
the German majority socialist leader,
that all labor and socialist, interest
ought to try to come to an under
standing on a common peace program.
.rThis is exactly what we have been
asking German majority socialists to
do since February" added Mr.. Hen

we have not had from them the meas
ure Of assistance we were entitled to

CHAPTER LxII.


Copyright. 1918. Star Company
- ONE of Elizabeth wade's af-
fairs materiaHzed as she had
expected. About others, she
- changed her plans.
One thing happened as she had
hoped. Her brother took her back
TO RiverhilI with him.
There was no need OF her remain
ing at the farm. Mrs. Chaplin was
to have what she called "a vandoo"
OF all the furniture there. Clifford
preferred furnishing the Chicago
flat with more modern articles than
those used for years in the New
Hampshire house.
Martha Chaplin herself-feeling
almost opulent with her husbands
comfortable life insurance and the
prospect Of being supported by her
son-raised no objections. She be-
lieved that she was beginning life
again on a new and more luxurious
scale than that which she had al
ways known.
-of course" she said TO Eliza
beth, whom she came to see on the
day before the wades' departure
for the West. "it's going to be hard
in a way, leaving the house where
pa and me lived so long. But OF
late I've been awful lonesome win
ters; summers wasn't so bad do
