may initiate in the least against her
beatification.
Mother Seton was the foundress of
the Sisters of Charity in the United
States. She is buried at Emmits-
burg, Md.
The process of canonization often
takes several hundred years. The
methods pursued by Rome in such
processes are strict. There is ap-
pointed for such proceedings pre-
late, who is known as the DEVILS
advocate. 1t is that advocates duty
to ascertain the least possible thing
that may hinder the canonization of
any one proposed for sainthood. The
beatification process precedes canon
ization.
Elizabeth Ann Seton was born in
New York, n. Y, August %, 1874.
Her parents were DIR. Richard Bayle
and Catherine Charlton When she
was three years old her mother died,
and upon her father consequently
fell the responsibility of her educa-
ton. DIR. Bayle discharged his duty
toward his daughter with the ten
derest solicitude. AS result. all the
child's affections were soon centered
in him. and she was meyer known to
oppose his will.
X X X
TN her early life she began the read
ing of matter which was essential
ly Catholic. The Holy Scriptures had
for her a special attraction, and she
read them over and over again.
Miss Bayle was married to William
Magee Seton in New York city. jan
uary IS, 1894. They had five children.
The time she could spare from her
household cares was devoted to the
reading of the Holy Scriptures. With
her husband and children she sailed
for Italy in 1903, because of her hus-
bands health. December q, 1903.
Mr.. Seton died at Pisa, Italy. The
widow sailed for New York April s,
1904, after visiting various parts of
Italy. She reached there June 8, 1904.
Just before sailing from Italy she
resolved to become a. Catholic. This
she did shortly after reaching this
country, being received on the feast
of the Epiphany in 1905.
That she might support herself and
children. she decided to open a small
school, but changed and conducted a
boarding house for a number of boys
attending an academy in the northern
suburb of the city. She went to Bal
timore in 1908 and opened school
near St Mary's Seminary. A short
time later a Mr.. Cooper, a wealthy
man, then a student at st. Mary's, de-
cided to give his money for educa-
tion. A piece of ground was pur-
chased at Emmittsburg, Md. on which
small house, still star3lug. was
erected--the first home of the Sisters
of Charity in the United States.
Mother Seton called the society she
had founded Sisters of st. Joseph, and
June 2, 1908, on the feast of Corpus
Christi, the Sisters appeared for the
first time clothed in the religious nab
it. Mother Seton was elected head of
the institution in January. 1912.
In June, 1917, Mother Seton founded
an orphan asylum In New York city
and sent three sisters there to carry
on the work. She was elected for the
third time in July, 1918, ,esuperioress
general of her community by the
unanimous votes of her sisters.
Mother Seton became i'll in 1920.
and on January 4. 1921. she died.

several coolies were bringing up mail

The money gave us a new feeling
Of respectability. and, forgetting our
bedraggled attire. we climbed into a
pair of rikishas-whioh in the French
provinces have been rechristened with
the name of "pousse-pousse"-a in
structing the runners to take us to a
hotel, we sat up and dared the world
to snub us.
The rikisha has that effect. On
your first ride, you feel rather like
fool, galloping along behind a fell
low human being; on your second
ride. you feel like an inhuman slave
driver. making a draft animal out
of the poor coolie; on your third and
succeeding rides, you feel like a po-
tentate drawn in style through the
streets by one of his vassals.
But when we challenged the world
1t accepted the challenge. AS we drew

but after one contemptuous glance at
our mud stained persons, informed us
that his rooms were all occupied.

place to place we went, seeking lodg-

houses and government buildings of

chirped a welcome to us.
when does the next boat leave for
Sfngapore?" the poet inquired in
French.
The manager shrugged his shoul-
ders.
"Je ne sails pas, monsieur. Perhaps
next week. perhaps the week after
next, perhaps the week after that"
We sat upon the bed, like the Hall
Room Boys, and while the manager
sent our clothes to the laundry, we
smoked the poets two damp cigarettes
and made faces at the lizards. But
in the evening, once more immaculate,
we swung out into the bou1evards
with jaunty step. French off1cialdom
was issuing from the shade of home
and office to recapture the city from
the Asiatics. ..
Then. remembering that our hun.
