WOMAN OF LEISURE.

In a reply to the question, "What is
a woman of leisure?" speaker at a
women's conference amused her audi
ence by giving some definitions that
she had gathered at luncheon short
time before. Here are some of the an
swers she received
"a woman of leisure is any woman
who hasn't five children"
"a woman who has time to play
bridge day times
There is none; she is extinct like
the dodo.' -. .
'The woman who has time to be al.
ways telling you how busy she isl
'The woman who is on ten boards
and equally useless on ALL"
1.-THE only one know is bed-ridden'
THE busiest woman in town who
always finds time to do one thing
more and do it graciously."
1t may be that the woman of leisure
has not even the scientific security
that belongs to the dodo, which the
dictionary assures us is but recently
extinct" Research into the history oil
woman through the ages may indeed
show that the woman of leisure never
was; that she is only a myth-haunt
ing, wistful, alluring.
To daughter who asked what is
leisure mother answered, ut is the
spare time that a woman has, my dear
in which she does something else"

OUR REAL SELVES.

An optimistic note in the lugubrious
chorus is the statement of the head of
one of the largest music publishing
houses in the world that Home, Sweet
Home has had the largest sale of any
song ever written and that the demand
never ceases. No people have; had
their ideals smothered by dollar-chas-
ing so long as their strongest response
is to the sentiment of home. No PEG,
pie are headed for perdition so long as
their deepest feeling is for the home.
If the home has survived the boarding
house, the kitchenette and the cafe
terra, there is proof enough of the
power of the human race to overcome
even greater obstacles
No less encouraging is the statement
that second on the list of sustained
popularity is Mendelssohn's Wedding
March. We hear more about jazz and
shimmy and cheek-to-cheek, bare
backs and short skirts, af1inities and
triangles and nauseous diaries, be-
cause they are spectacular and unusu-
al. They are only the froth. Our real
ideals, expressed in our songs, are
still love and marriage, and living hap.
PLY ever after in home.

Joan of Arc certainly has been re-

saint, says Catholic Citizen.
There is procession of other spir-
it's wandering in the gloom of an in
termediate world, among them Savon-
arola, Lamennais and perhaps DR.. Nc
Glynn, who are taking encouragement
in the premises. Their cases are up
on appeal to posterity.
Savonarola was communicated by
Pope Alexander vi. In the long scroll
of coming events, it is fair guess to
venture that the friar has a better
chance of being beatified than Alex
ander vi. who, as we remember, was
not the best of the Popes. And we
have seen a work by a learned Domin-
lean who holds that the trial vouch-
safed Savonarola was no less mock
cry than the trial which condemned
the Maid of Orleans.
Lamennais was not burned at the
stake, but he was gradually consumed
by an unhappy and disappointed life.
Yet Father Mahoney tells us that there
are grounds upon which we may hope
fully speculate that he finally reached
Purgatory. If he had only brought his
case before Leo XIII, sixty years
later!

A DIFF ENcE.

When | 60 down the beach to play,
And mother says that | may stay
One hour at Dorothy's, 0 my,
The way that one short hour doth fly!
We just about get settled down
To make our dolls hat or gown,
Or make sand castles or make sand
!. pies, 80 :
When to our very great surprise,
The clock at Dorothy's will say,
"The hour is up, so no more play!"
Just how it can be, don't know,
But that old clock can hurry so!
When mother says, tits practice
time,' as II sSs.IGt ~
And l must wash my hands and climb
On that piano-stool, dear me,
That hours as different as can be!
The outdoors looks so fresh and gay
And Dorothy has gone to play;
The boy next door has made a swing
And swings as high as anything;
And down the street the organ-man
Is grinding all the tunes he can
And here have to drum away
One whole long hour this lovely day!
I don't see how one hour can be
AS long as that one seems to me!

QUAINT oLD-WoRLD CUSTOMS.

An old superstition still fingers in
some parts of England, notably Derby
shire, and induces people to rise un.
usually early on Whitsuntide morning
in order that they may see the sun
rise, for they frankly believe that
whatsoever request is proffered the
Almighty at that particular moment
is certain to be granted.
The county of Northampton cele.
brates an old custom, dating from the
time of Queen Elizabeth, once in 20
years. The scene of it is the village
of CARLY
Very early on White Monday, bands
of men are stationed at the by-ways
of the parish, who demand toll of all
pedestrians. Should they refuse, they
are seized, hoisted on stout pole, and
carried to the village amidst the
cheers and jeers of the spectators.
The origin of the cheese rolling
which takes place yearly in the quiet
little village of Birdlip, in the Chel
tenham district. is lost, like, many
more, in the mists of antiquity, but
local sentiment forbids it's dying out.
substantial round cheese is set rolling
down steep hill with all the young
and active members of the population
in hot pursuit. Before it can be cap
tured many of the men are rolling af
ter, hut the cheese evades the majority
of them, and usually falls to the lot oil
one of the company who has managed
to keep his feet.

The fun I used to have with mine
Was the best ever had.
When the shutdown called the, must
From the bullfrog's husky throat
And we were trollin' pick'rel
In an old, fiat-bottom'd boat.
We always used a handline
With whirlin' silver spoon,
And we both took turns at rowin'
Till the risin' summer moon
Her wan'ring' of the nightfall
With her silver pencil wrote,
And we'd quit trollin' pick'rel
In an old flat-bottom'd boat. +
In the dusk of early ev'nin'
Fish'll strike a shinin' bait,
Droppin' softly down slow water
We would lure 'em to their fate,
Pilin' up a feast for breakfast
Worth a twenty-dollar note
By just a'trollin' pick'rel -,
In an old, flat-bottom'd boat. -
So I'm goin' back this summer
To the fun I can't forget,
And when the shadows lengthen
Gross the old mill pond, you bet
Well be droppin' down the river,
Past the lily ponds We'll float

BIRD TRADES.

The swallow is a mason,
And underneath the caves
He builds nest and plasters it
With mud aid hay and leaves.
The Woodpecker is hard at work
A carpenter is he;
And you may find him hammering
His house high up a tree.
The bullfinch knows and practices
The basket-maker's trade,
See what cradle for his young
The little thing has made.
Of all the weavers that know,
The orioles the best;
High on the apple tree he weaves
A coy little nest.
The goldfinch is a fuller;
A skillful workman he!
Of wood and threads he makes a mes
That you would like to see.
Some little birds are miners,
Some build upon the ground; .v
And busy little tailors, too,
Among the birds are found.
The cuckoo laughs to see them work
mot so" says he, I'VE do;
My wife and take other nests
And live at ease-cuckoo!'

APPROPRIATE MUSIC.

The new chaplain very much wanted
to amuse as well as instruct his men
and, accordingly, on one occasion, ar
ranged for an illustrated lecture on
Bible scenes and incidents. One sea-
man who possessed monograph was
detailed to discourse appropriate music
between pictures. The first of these
represented Adam and Eve in the Gar
den of Eden. The sailor cudgeled his
brains and ran through his list, but he
could think of no music exactly appro-
pirate to the picture. please play

STRENGTH OF INSECTS.

A series of experiments made t.
test the jaw force and pulling and lift
ing strength of various kinds of in
sects gives some curious points fol
study. 1t has been found that cock
roach can draw IA times his own
weight and the common honeybee 81
times. From this it may be argued
that, weight for weight, each of the
above named insects is 81 and 81
times, respectively, stronger than the

taxed to it's utmost in drawing its
own weight as dead load.''

A MESSAGE OF PEACE.

The telling satire of this poem ap-
1920 than when John Boyle O'Reilly
wrote it, generation ago. 1t was first
published after his death.
There once was a pirate, greedy and
bold,
Who ravaged for gain, and saved
the spoils;
Till his Golfers were bursting with
blood-stained gold,
And millions of captives bore his
tolls.
Then fear took hold of him, and he
cried:
81 have gathered enough; now, war
should cease!"
And he sent out messengers far and
wide
(To the strong ones only to ask for
peace.
1--WE are Christian brethrenn' thus he
spake;
Let us seal contract-never to
fight!
Except against rebels who dare to
break
The bonds we have made by the
victor's right"
And the strong ones listen; and some
applaud
The kindly offer and righteous word;
With never dream of deceit or fraud,
They would spike the cannon and
break the sword.
But others, their elders, listen, and
smile
At the sudden converts unctuous
style.
They watch for the peacemaker's
change Of way;
But his war-forges run by night
and by day.
Even now, while his godly messengers
speak,
His guns are aflame on his enemies
weak. M
He has stolen the blade from the hand
of his foe, !,

IN EARLY MARRIED LIFE:

Try to be satisfied to commence on
a small scale.
Try to avoid the too common mis-.

begin where the parents ended"
Try not to look at rich homes, or
covet their costly furniture.
Try going a step further, and visit
the homes Of the suffering poor when

Try being perfectly Independent

Try to cooperate cheerfully in ar
