THERE were many costumes at
the local theaters last week.
some odd and fantastic. others
so extreme that they were
absurd. but there were few smart
gowns such as milady in the audience
would care to wear. At Keith's, for
instance. there was dainty Helen
Storey. who tripped out in fve or six
creations. each one shorter than the
one before, until the climax was
reached in a wedding gown. This
consisted Of a tight satin bodice in
crusted with pearls. short satin
knickers edged with silver lace
flounces and q bouffant rufYie which
did not pretend to cover the knickers.
OF course. there was q veil. too, but
it trailed unnoticed at the back, and
was the least important feature OF
the costume. Perhaps Miss Storey
wished to give the audience an illus
tration Of what long skirts saved US
from.
And goodness. mercy me. how
shocked grandmother would have
been had she seen that old.fashioned
frock! The poke bonnet, decollete
neckline. quaint bodice. mitts and
pantalettes were all authentic enough,
but the hoopskirt scarcely reached
the knees. Imagine belle Of the six
ties walking around the square. of

What's S u, a Name?

MOTHER mystery has been solved.
1 This time it is the correct way
to pronounce Bebe Daniels name.
The young star arrived in New
York recently after completing work
in the new Penrhyn Stanlaws produc-
ton, "Singed Wings" and found her
self addressed with a variety Of for
eign and American pronunciations Of
her name that was bewildering.
Miss Daniels offers no objection to
her friends use of the name Bebe. but
her mother decided that IL that name
was to be used 1t should be used cor
rectly. so she offered this explana-
ton:
I'VE always call her 'Bee-bee." said
Mrs. Daniels. Ever since she was q
baby we have called her that. Jus.
before the baby was born 1 had been
reading one of Ouida's novels which
was very popular at that time. Two
Little Wooden Shoes had a lovable
little girl in 1t named Bebe, and
liked the character so much decided
that would be a good name for my
baby Her aunts, who also had been
reading Ouida, liked the name, too
She we christened her Beba. but al
ways called her 'Bee-Bee'."

CHILD WAGE FARMERS.


Perhaps the demoralizing family
discipline so common in our day may
be partly due to rushing" children
out TO work entirely too young. There
are undoubtedly cases where the
needs of the family make it necessary
that the older children become wage
earners as soon as possible so as to
exc out the fathers or widowed
mothers slender income and help to
support the younger children Of the
family, but these are exceptional
cases.
There is no doubt that many Catho-
lie parents allow their children to go
to work earlier than is necessary;
and thereby deprive them of an edu-
cation that would later secure to
them better wages and more agree
able avocations and would permit
them to develop into the manhood and
won anhood by the normal and natural
process.

soon as he could procure his work

"a light" said Miss Bennett, hoarse-
".
AS Hetty thrust burning stick into
the hole, she cried: "It looks like bags
tied UP. Come here yourself"
The old woman hurried forward,
thrust in her hand and drew out a
handful of glittering yellow coins,
which fell with jingle on the hearth,
rolling every way.
"My fathers money! Oh, Hetty!"
She seized chair to keep from fall
ing.
Hetty, wild with joy, cried: Nov
we can have things to eat, and we can
have candle, and you won't have to
go to the poorhouse.'
When the money was counted it was
a considerable amount, enough to give
Miss Bennett any luxury she desired
and Hetty a wonderful education.
Miss Bennett adopted Hetty and an
nounced her as her heir. A girl was
installed in the kitchen. new clothes
were made for Hetty and she has be-
gun school. Fresh paint inside and
out, some new furniture and a few
more comforts have made the old
house charming. Hetty is loved by
her schoolmates, but more dearly by
Miss Bennett, and Miss Bennet's love
is returned.

History OF Bigotry in the u. S.

principles were handed on to the
American Protective Association,
which became a very disturbing fea-
ture in the Northern States during the
years 1891 to 1897. The oath of this
association was similar to the Know
Nothings; each member swore that at
all times he would refuse to place
political office in the hands OF any
Roman Catholic This association
passed away at the time Of the Span
ish-American War.
We are now, it seems, on the eve
of another attempt to combine into
one national group those who believe
that American Catholics should be de-
priyed of the complete civil liberty
granted them under the Constitution.
This group has at it's head men of in
telligence and men Of culture. 1t is
well organized. It's plan SO far as it
has been made known, is very eff
icient, and there is no doubt that it
will do harm to the unity which we
all claimed as one of the greatest as
sets brought to us by the past war.
The Pastoral Letter of 1884.
In Pastoral Letter in 1884, the
Catholic hierarchy of the country dis
cussed this hundred times refuted
calumny. Catholics were being de-
nounced at the time as enemies to
the liberty of the Republic. Groups
were then at work for the purpose
Of destroying their faith. But, as the
Bishops wrote: 'It is neither our
principle nor our practice to render
evil for evil nor railing for railing,
and we expect you, rather to the con-
trary, to render blessing"
In 1887, in a Pastoral Letter issued
to the Catholics, Archbishop Eccles-
ton and the Bishops of the country
answered the problem in these words:
eve owe no religious allegiance to
any State in this Union, nor to its gen
eral government. No one of them
claims any supremacy or dominion
over us in Our spiritual or ecclesi-
astical concerns; nor does it claim any
such right or power over any of our
fellow-citizens nor would we submit
thereto. They and we, by our consti-
tutional principles, are free to give
this ecclesiastical supremacy to whom
we please, or to refuse it to every one
if we SO think proper; but they and
we owe civil and political allegiance
TO the several States in which we re.
side, and also to our general govern
ment. When, therefore, using our I'm.

THE POWER OF EXAMPLE.

AS showing the power of example,
and illustrating how the Faith is
spread by simply living up to it, the
following letter from "a grateful con-
vert" to the reverend editor of the
Brooklyn Tablet is quoted:

the story of the conversion to the
Catholic Faith, though there is moth
ing unique or sensational about it.

HOW SHALL | GET RID OF A BAD
HABIT?

How shall habit break?"
AS you did that habit make.
AS you gathered, you must lose;
AS you yielded, now refuse.
Thread by thread the strands we
twist,
Till they bind us, neck and wrist;
Thread by thread the patient hand
Must untwine, ere free we stand.
AS we builded, stone by stone,
We must toll, unhelped, alone,
Till the wall is overthrow.
But remember, as we try,
Lighter every test goes by:
Wading in, the stream grows deep
Towards the centres downward
sweep,
Backward turn, each step ashore
Shallower is than that before.
All, the precious years we waste
Levelling what we raised in haste;
Doing what must be undone
Ere content or love be won!
First, across the gulf we cast
Kite-born threads till lines are passed,
And habit builds the bridge at last.

though that potentate might be the
chief pastor of our church"
Catholic Leaders Speak Plainly.
Catholic leaders and scholars have
never feared to discuss the problems
of Catholic life in the American Re
public openly and candidly. From the
time of Archbishop Carroll, who
guided the Church through the criti-
cal period which followed the Reyo-
lutionary War, down to the late Car
dinal Gibbons, the prelates of the
Catholic Church have reiterated at
every crisis the basic doctrine of
Catholicism upon civil loyalty. Their
printed works are accessible to AL.
Bishop John England, of Charleston,
S. c., has many articles and letters
on the problem in the seven volumes
of his works" Archbishop John
Hughes has dealt with the problem
in practically every one of his print
ed articles and lectures. Archbishop
Ireland has also treated the question
in his volume, "The Church and the
Age" and in many of the published
sermons of Cardinal Gibbons the
problem of Catholicism and the Re-
public has been treated with his ac-
customed perspicacity and patience.
1t is significant also that Archbishop
Cur1ev in his first nuh1ic addrnSs On
the day of his installation as sue
cessor to Cardinal Gibbons, spoke
on the problem in language as clear
as it was fearless. With this wealth
of source-material to draw upon,

ignorance, and Catholics no reason for
fear or uneasiness

spectively. We are still, however, in
the dark as to which was used at the
period as a foodstuff. 1t is only in
1850, as we shall see in a., moment,
that an Oxfordman definitely asserts
that the shamrock used for food and
the Purple Glover were identical.
Meanwhile, we have interesting ref
erences to the practice of eating
teenth century. Fynes Moryson, who
was secretary to Lord Mountjoy, came
to Ireland in 1899. He has a puzzling
passage in his Itinerary to the eff
feet that the Irish willingly eat the
herbe Shamrock, being of a sharp
taste, which, as they run and are chas-
ed to and fro, they snatch like beasts
out of the bitches" John Speed, who
wrote in 1911, says of the Irish that
their diet in necessity was slender,
feeding upon water-cresses, roots,
mushrooms, shamrogh, butter temper
ed with oatmeal, whey, yea and raw
flesh" while George Wither, who pub
lished abuses Stript and Whipt, or
Satirical Essays" in 1913, points with
appreciation to their simple fare:

Bisotry Becomes Formidable.

The anti-Catholic bitterness, how
ever, had reached such formidable
state that the Catholic press of this
country had little if any effect. I'm
migration from the Catholic countries
of Europe had grown to such an ex-
tent that the fear was openly express
ed that the Protestant element in the
land would be submerged. 1t was
easy, therefore, to organize a political
party on platform the main purpose
of which was to deprive Catholic
immigrants of their civil rights. This
was the purpose of the Natiye-Amer-
lean party which threatened the peace
of the United States from 1929 to 1914.
It's policy was to keep Catholics out of
public Office and to lengthen the pc
Rod of residence to fourteen years be-
fore any foreign-born person would be
eligible to citizenship.
Since the history of the Native
American bigotry is so we'll known,
there is no lack of charity in stating
that Catholics were denounced mainly
from Protestant pulpits. 1t is to a
Protestant minister of national re-
noWn to whom the discredit must be
given for the destruction in 1884 of
the Ursuline Convent, of CharlestoWn,
Mass. 1t is to certain Protestant
ministers to whom the discredit must
be given for the anti-Catholic litera-
ture which was published at this time
The historian must also confess that
the indictments to religious bigotry
came mainly from the non-Catholic
pu1pits dedicated to the worship of
the Prince of Peace.
L The know-Nothing Movement.
The Native-American movement
found it's natural outcome in the
Know-Nothing movement of 1874 to
1852. There is no need to repeat the
miserable history of the KnoWNoth-
ing attacks upon converts and church
es and Catholic citizens of the land
But the Importance of the Know
Nothing movement for present-day
history is this: It's leaders planned
to concentrate into a single national
party all the anti-Catholic organiza-
tions of the country. 1t adopted the
name Of the National Council of Anti
Catholicism in the United States.
Among the articles of its ritual it is
stated that a member must be a
Protestant, born Of Protestant parents,
reared under Protestant influence and
not united in religion or marriage with
Roman Catholic. Every member
took an OATH that he would not vote
or use his influence for Roman Cath

food alone are noted to be no less Wig
orous and braWny than others that
fare sumptuously. Thus the Irish that
nourish themselves with their sham
rock (Which is the purple clover), are

Further references to shamrock-food
occur in the late seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries, but they cannot
be now quoted. The use of the herb
for purposes of food appears to have
declined with the Introduction of po-
tatoes; at least, that was the view of
John Rutty, Dublin man, who wrote

THE SHAMROCK IN LITERATURE

In the great mass of early Latin
and Irish literature dealing with the
acts of st. Patrick there is not a sim
gle reference to the incident which
popular belief now so generally asso-
ciates with the shamrock. Indeed,
the Irish word seamrog itself does
not appear in the written language I'M
til, perhaps, the seventeenth century,
though it must have existed as a
spoken form centuries prior to that
age. Seamrog, as readers of Gaelic
know, is a diminutive of seaman, a
generic term for trefoil or clover,
which also gives an adjectival deriva-
tive seamrach meaning "flowery'' or
"clovery." The aforementioned word
occurs in medieval literature, for ex-
ample, in the oldest Irish life of
Columcille, where the Curragh of Kill
dare is described as a magh aluinn
scoith-sheamrack, "a delightful plain
covered with clover blossom" In all
probability, the other derivative is not
less ancient, and it is only by chance
it is not recorded in writing. Be that
as it may, it is certain that the word
first appears in literature in English
and in peculiar English photography.
Edmond Campion completed a History
Of Ireland in 1871, in which, speaking
of the habits of the Irish, he says:
Proud are they of long, crisped glib
bes and do nourish the same with all
their cunning: to crop the front there
of they take it for notable piece of
villainy. Shamrotes, water crosses,
and other herbes they feed upon: oat-
mele and butter they cramme togeth-
er. 9E. r.~ ~
1t will be noted that the shamrock
is here referred to. as an article OF
food, not as badge or emblem. This
custom of eating shamrocks is well
illustrated in a Latin botanical work
published in 1870 by a Fleming named
Lobel, who settled in London and ded-
icated his book to Queen Elizabeth.
An Article Of Food.
As to the identity of the plant then
used as an article of food, we learn
from botanist named John Gerard,
who published a Herbal, or General
Historic of Plantes' in 1897, that
there be divers sortes of threeleafiet
grasses, some greater, others lesser
and first, of the common
meadow trefoiles, which are called in
Irish shamrockes." This, author y;
illustrates and, describes the Purple
Clover and the White Cloyers recog,
nized as different species in, modern
times under the names of Trifolium

seem thousand times 1Worse than
they are. Blot out, as far as possible,
all disagreements of life; they will
come, but they will grow larger if
you remember them, and the constant
thought of acts of meanness, or, worse
still, malice, will only tend to make

yesterday; start out with clean slate
for today, and write upon it, for sweet
memory's sake, only those lovable
things which are lovely and lovable.
