Mr.. Victor Cordella of Minneapolis,
the architect, deserves great credit
for planning with such care for the
least of the wants of the Sisters, the
children, etc. There are only two
Catholic Orphanages in the United
States that have been built on the
cottage plan, but because of the many
advantages which it possesses over
the other type Of buildings it will no
doubt in the future come into more
general use. The children cared for
in this type of home will have bet
ter opportunity of overcoming the ter
rible handicaps which the loss of
their natural home has brought to
them. Surely, our charity should
dictate that we try in every way to
make them as fit to cope with con-
ditions of modern life as possible.

an injury is measured by the dignity
Of the person who receives the in

the person injured is infinite, and for
that reason a suitable reparation
could beimade only by person whose

reason that the Son of God became
man, suffered as He did. and offered
Himself as sacrifice for the sins Of
the world.
Though Christ's life on earth was
brought to close so many years

were to the disciples and followers Of
the days Of His ministry. They con.

be drawn into it as the greatest evils

that it could be atened for only by

A SIGN Or GOOD BREEDING.

with her, look at her. listen to her,
and conduct yourself in every way as

nifty years OF active service in the
field. Four years ago. when the world

Younger missionaries of Japan, the
Archbishop asked for a. volunteer to
conduct the leper asylum at Gotemba.
Father De Lacey offered himself for
fhe heroic task and soon learned to

sWithout any paid help, without even

seventy lepers.

On the banks of mountain torrent at
the foot of Mount Full. The chapel
is the center of the plant. The mems
quarters are on one side and the wom-

Lacey has taught the iepers to help
one another and in that way to make
the asylum their very own home. The

and the farms are conducted by the

are revered as saints. The story, OF
a beautiful and welLeducated leper
girl of noble blood revealed to us as
nothing else could the capacity Of the
Japanese for heroic sacrifice and. for
"a profound understanding Of the world
unseen. 8s
Another interesting character whom
we met in Japan was Archbishop
Doering, S. j., formerly Bishop Of
Poona in India. He had just been ap-
pointed superior of the new Jesuit
mission Of Hiroshama. 1t is the first
Jesuit mission to Japan proper since
the persecution Of 1924. It must be
consoling to the Jesuits to have this
opportunity to follow up the eyangeli-
cal work introduced into Japan by. one
of their company. the greatest apostle
of modern times. tits also most fit
ting that Yamaguchi, one OF St. Fran
els Xavier's favorite hannts, should be
included in the new mission. sf
The Problem sof the cloas.
We were denied the opportunity of
seeing Japanese congregation at
Mass, due to the fact that the Mass
was much earlier than we suspected,
and we arrived at the Church just
when the Christians were slipping into
their wooden clogs at the church door.
AS all clogs seemed alike to us, we
marveled at the accuracy Of the JAP
anese in finding their own shoes. The
entrance to the Sunday school was
also barricaded by wooden clogs OF
every description. Two pairs of mil
taTy boots added variety to the array.
The classroom of the Sunday school
itself was an interesting sight, for
there we found a Japanese priest
teaching catechism to an eager group
OF gr0wnup catechumens who were
squatted about on mats at his feet.

who contributed literally in gratitude
for the religious attention given them.
The gift of five hundred dollars from
the Extension Society for every build,

people to do their best financially. It

of wit.
Dora almost writhed, not that she
resented this rudeness to herself. She
never resented rudeness, being rathr
used to it, She simply felt frightfully
sorry for Morton But he was sitting
passively staring at the carpet, and if
he recognized the allusion and knew
that his talk had been overheard, he
gave no sign.

UNCOMFORTABLE MOMENTS
CHAPTER II

1t did not add to the feeling of com
fort to suspect that Gladys was stand
ing behind the parlor door, listening
to their conversation. Most of the
set" that Gladys ruled would have
considered this great fun.
Gladys, therefore, had no sense of
dishonor when she stood on the other
side of the almost closed door and over
heard the talk going on within. She
would have considered it unfair, even
dishonest to listen to secrets being
told behind a closed door But in this
case nothing was being said that she
could not have heard had she been in
the room, so she felt it quite all right
to listen in.
She had a sense of honor, but it did
not draw fine distinctions.
She heard a great deal of talk about
the weather This was boring.
Dora mentioned mysterious house
thief who had made off with some sill
yer and jewelry in a temporarily
closed home in the town. This started
Morton talking about the probable
punishment of the man when caught,
and ways of proving crime.
There was a case once of hotel
thief he began. "A man saw him en-
ter the room at the moment of the rob-
berry, but he only saw him in the mir
rcr-there was a long mirror at the
end of the hotel corridor, which was
set across q corner so it reflected
down the main corridor and the part
where it turned and followed the
other side of the building"
"Yes?" Dora breathed encouraging
ly, beginning to feel at ease.
When the case came up, no one
had actually seen him, and there was
no evidence but that of the mirror. So
the point was this-was the reflec-
ton Of the man but a collection of
light rays, as all mirror reflections
are"
Then they began arguing physics,
and metaphysics, and got in lot OF
experts"
The suppressed giggle occurred
here which so upset Dora.
And it became complicated law
case"
How did it come out?"
"Oh, they held that seeing the man
in the mirror was as good as actually
seeing him himself, and convicted
him. But it was nice point, and
new one. There was another case
Morton was off again, he leaned for
ward in his chair knees crossed, his
left arm thrown across his knees, his
right elbow resting on his arm, his
chin in his right hand. In this queer,
awkward position, which made him in
to collection of awkward angles, he
felt perfectly comfortable.
His pale gray eyes opened wider as
he warmed up to his subject. His
huge red hand hid the wart and few
hundred of the freckles on his face
His big mouth had a humorous smile.
Gladys came in finally, bringing
Jesse with her. Morton unfolded him
self and stood up as she entered-the
only boy in her set who ever showed
this courtesy when woman entered
the room Gladys never even saw
this.
All evenings of this sort were more
or less tho same. Gladys sat down al
the piano and played and sang. Jesse
Joined in with her. At the end of ev-
cry song, he exclaimed with great ad
miration-
Some voice, babyn'
To which, feeling it necessary to
join in, Morton added:
"Oh yes, very beautiful"
In response, Gladys rolled her large
eyes in appreciation at Jesse, anC
completely ignored Morton.
