QUEENS ARE NUNS
HIGH BORN WOMEN ARE NUMER-
Gus IN ENGLISH COMMENTS
SISTERS OF LORD FRENCH ARE
NUNS.
(By N. C. w. C. News seryice)

(By N. G. w. C. News Service)
The report that the former Grand
Duchess of Luxembourg has arrived at
Modena, Italy, where she will try her
vocation with the Carmelite nuns, re-
calls the fact that several Royal and
nigh born women are protested nuns
in converts in England.
At Ride, in the Isle of Wight, there
is house of French Benedictine nuns,
who settled in the island when the
French Government passed the laws
against the religious orders. In this
convent there are many nuns of noble
birth, and among them two ex-queens,
one OF whom has been confirmed
invalid for years, and is wheeled into
the choir of the Abbey church in an
invalid's chair.
Two sisters of the late Duke of
Norfolk are nuns; the Lady Minna
Howard is member Of the Carmelite
Order, and the Lady Etheldreda How
ard Sister of Charity. The Lady
Agnes Fielding, daughter of the Earl
OF Denbigh, is protested nun; so
also is the Lady Christina Bandini, a
sister OF the Earl of Newburgh Lord
Albemarle, Protestant Peer, has a sis
ter, the Lady Leopoldina Keppel, who
is a religious of the Sacred Heart
Lord Clifford Of Chudleigh, Lord Arun-
dell, and Lord Dormer have sisters
who are professed nuns in English
converts.
Two sisters of Lord French are nuns,
and the three aunts of Lord Petre are
nuns. Lord Trimlestown, an Irish
Peer, also has three sisters who are
nuns.
From pre-Reformation times, there
has been an unbroken tradition, both
in the noble families of Ireland and of
England, Of the women of noble
houses entering religion. For cen
turtles the call to religious life meant
voluntary exile, since the converts
OF the English and Irish religious or
ders were found in different cities of
Continental Europe, because the penal
laws forbade their establishment in
the British Isles.

YOU AND A BOOK.

One Of the most delightful forms
of independence is that which
flows from communing with your
favorite author. Though the body
may languish in a dungeon, given
a volume Of the worlds best
thought and the soul revels in
freedom. To sit apart from the
throng, bury one s mind and Wis
ion in the intellectual riches Of a
prince of thought: that indeed
were liberty worthy Of a freeman.
Every man of education has his
favorite author: one only, not
many. It may be the human beau
ties of Shakespeare, the wit Of
Pope, the ftful fancy of Words
worth, or the sweet enchantme1ft
Of Longfellow. Or perchance you
may cling to the iunearthly splen-
dor Of Dante or Milton, the inimit-
able fascination sof Horace, the
sterling strength Of Virgil, Racine
or Schiller. Mayhap YOUR taste
lies in the field Of biography, his
tory or fiction. Here there is a
wealth of choice. Il
The satisfaction that pours into
your soul on browsing through the
gardens Of wonderful minds can
not be compared to any joys or
mere material delights: for this
soothing charm Of your favorite
author seems made for you alone.
He says the very things that you
oft have imaged but scarce could
reduce to tangible form. He has an
adaptability for your every mood,
and in him and with him, you lose
yourself from the feeting distrac-
tons that prove but annoyances
to the soul.

These, of course, have all returned

BISHOP GALLAGHER
DETROIT PRELATE'S AMERICAN.
ISM Is PRAISED BY JURY.

Right Rev. Michael J. Gallagher,
Bishop of Detroit, was praised for his
100 per cent Americanism" by jury
which sat in a proceeding to condemn
land for use by the Detroit Board of
Education, several days ago. The
jurors were impressed by Bishop
Gallagher's offer to sell diocesan land
to the city at the same price at which
it was purchased declining thereby
to obtain profit of several thousand
dollars
Some of the land desired by the
Board of Education was included in a
tract which Bishop Gallagher some
time ago bought as the site for the
new Sacred Heart Seminary. This
property has appreciated considerably
since it's purchase for the Seminary,
but Bishop Gallagher waived his right
to this increase in value.

The passing of the traditional

The passing of the traditional
style of school buildings is fore
east in recent bulletins of the u.
S. Bureau Of Education, notes an
observer. The great barn-like
structures Of the past are already
giving way in many localities to
the so-called unit system, which
permits of ready expansion and
has many other advantages, e. g.,
good ventilation, less danger from
fire, less expense for heating, etc.
This newer type of school building
has large structure in the center
of a group-of dlassrooms, each vir-
tually a separate building, con-
nected by an outside sheltered
portico. The main building is
usually of two stRries, while the
smaller structures pave only one.

SHOULD WOMEN VOTE.

A mother Of family writes to
inquire if, in our opinion, Catho-
lie woman should now vote, since
this right Of women has been re-
cognized legally. The answer is,
by all means avail yourself Of this
right, and use it with intelligence
and discretion.
One of the stock objections
women leaders have had against
the indiscriminate right Of voting
among males is that many men
were unworthy to vote. They
pointed out the loafer, the drunk
ard, the immoral-even the Ne
gro and in tones of scorn asked :
Are these to vote while we are
denied the right? 2" Today there
is no place for such a complaint
and the women are now to prove
that they are worthy Of the priv
ilege granted them.
Human nature is pretty much
the same in the various strata Of
society; unworthy. members Of the
race and of the commonwealth will
doubtless be found in the ranks
Of women as well as in those OF
the male. At the same time, WON

than the corresponding class or in

therefore, desires really to better
conditions, if she has her heart
firmly set on genuine reform, now
is the time for her to prove it.
Irrespective of previous opin.
ions or views on the ACCESSIBILITY
of women s voting or not, it il
correct today to affirm that she
can become a potent factor in the
