why certain churches have a general
vogue for fashionable weddings and,
without any apparent reason, sud

st. Johns lacked certain hall-marks
of being genuinely modish. Now
Bethlehem Chapel Of IS. Peter and
Paul Cathedral is the kirk par excel

nations held pews in st. Matthew'S

of the foreign office. Now the dean

may be witnessed at ST Paul's and
st. Patrick's. The 1.atin--American
element attends st. Patrick's and
holds a pew there almost to the unit

pertaining to them are thus sol
emnized in this oldest of Catholic
churches in Washington.
