''sHOCk|NGLY DRESSED"
HE STOPPED WEDDING BE-
CAUSE OF IMMODEST DRESS.

Sensational stories carried by secu-
lar news agencies to the effect that
he stopped a wedding because the
bride and attendants were shocking
ly' attired were emphatically denied
by the Very Rev. Albert Antoine, o.
M. l., pastor of st. Louis Cathedral,
New Orleans. Father Antoine char
acterized the account as an "irre-
sponsible invention"
''The bride was not 'shockingly'
dressed in the sense conveyed by the
story" he added "The bridal party
wore decollete gowns, regarded as IN
becoming, more especially SO in the
solemn sacrament of marriage. Be
fore the bridal party entered the
church door l requested the women to
use wells, which they did, and the
ceremony proceeded without delay.
81 cannot imagine how such a story
as appeared could have been written
except in an attempt to make sensa
tionalism out of a duty which | per
formed quietly and with minimum
embarrassment to the parties con
cerned."

S|GNOR POSSENT|
BROTHER OF ST. GABRIEL PRE-
SCENTED GIFT TO POPE-VEN-
ERABLE LADY PRESENT.

The Catholic Bulletin has told it's
readers that when st. Gabriel Pos
senti was canonized in Rome on AS
cension Thursday, 1920, his own broth
er was present. More details of this
interesting fact can now be given.
The brothers name is GiacOmO Pos
senti, and he is a lawyer by profess
sion. The traditional offerings given
to the Pope at a canOnizatiOn cere-
mOny are five large beautifully-pa
wax candles, two lOaVeS Of bread on
silver salvers, small gold barrel of
cage containing two turtle doves, one
containing two pigeons, and one small
one with birds Of different Species All
these gifts have their own symbolic
meaning. There is never a meaning
less movement in Catholic ceremony
Signor POssenti, a white bearded,
Wellpreserved old gentleman, carried
one of the cages, and Pope Benedict
XIV looked long and lovingly at him
when he presented the gift. It is rare
indeed for member of a saints i'm
mediate family to be present at the
heros own canOnization. Reverently
the signOr kissed the Pope's hand,
genufected and retired, with the eyes
of all fastened upon him.
When st. Gabriel was beatifed, this
same brother was present. Also pres
ent was an aged lady who over half a
century ago, it was understood by both
families, was to marry Gabriel. The
two were attached to each other, but
there was no betrothal, and the day
came when he told her that he had
another sweetheart, in heaven above,
and she released him, later marrying
a military Officer.

executed, besides the confiscation of
their property. We want to punish
the leaders, but to spare those who
were forced into the movement or
acted through ignorance"
The President said it would take
time to restore complete quiet, but de-
clared he was confident all would be
well. He expressed his thanks to the
foreign governments for their attitude
during the crisis, especially to France

CONSTANTINOPLE, March FL (By

is an anachronism which must pass
is typified by the long line Of British
dreadnoughts in the Bosporus. Sur
prise is evidenced by most of the
Turks, who refuse to believe that the
spoils belong to the victor.
Mohammed VI, Sultan of Turkey

usual as he made his weekly ride in

Although the Allied proclamation of

the crowds which watched the unhappy
old man emerge from his palace over

towers of Stamboul and the -bathed

In Session To-day
Denmark Takes Place in
Governing Body That

LONDON, March 21-The governing
body of the international Labor Bureau
created by the League Of Nations will
begin it's sessions in the committee

The meeting is expected to decide what
the laborites will do with regard to
Russia. 1t will discuss the invitation
of the League Of Nations Council to
send two representatives with the COM
mission the council is sending to Russia.
Mr.. Thomas has stated that the labor
body may accept the invitation in order
to gain political information, and also
send a commission of it's own as at
first planned, or that it may do neither.
He pointed out that the labor Office is
in possession of the most comprehen-
sive reports on social conditions in
Russia in existence and that an exam
ination Of them may possibly negative
the necessity for sending commission.
In statement to-day Mr.. Thomas said
that he deeply regretted the absence
from the labor body Of the United
States, whose place has been taken by
Danish delegate to maintain the
official organization of twelve govern
ment representatives and six represen-
tatives each from the employers and
workers.
The meetings will be executive, but
Mr.. Thomas has promised that the
public will be fully informed Oh what
transpires through communiques.
