"what God has permitted to happen man may be
permitted to know" editorializes the Rev. James VI.
ellis Of New York, editor Of The Catholic World.
Father ellis spoke to the editors and publishers of
Catholic papers throughout the United States and of
the Catholic Press association. He declared for a pol
Icy of fearless frankness in dealing with all moral
and Theological questions and a policy Of treating
truthfully all scandals In connection with the church"
Let the reverend editor tell II in his own way: "Our
Catholic editorial ethics are awry. We are too timid.
editorially. to discuss and solve problems which our
readers have a right to expect us to discuss and solve
We have an excessive fear Of scandal and lag behind
England and Ireland in dealing with these things. The
main duty Of an editor. as well as a historian. Is 70
tell the truth. WHAT 0 HAS PERMITTED TO
APP A MAY BE PERMITTED TO KNOW"
In other words. Father ellis. as editor. believes he
newspaper should contain all the news fit to print.

when Prentiss had seemed a little

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXVI
TO the studio Irene went with
= Prentiss Gaylord. son Of the big
soap manufacturer. TO meet the two
radio celebrities OF the hour. When
FIRST Prentiss asked her 10 90 with
him she had been doubtful about
accepting. The hour they would
need TO start coincided with that In
which she had promised to 60 for
n ride with Tommy. But since
Prentiss was showing increased
fondness for her now and her en-
gagement to Tommy was broken.
she thought he could see that she
had a right to 20 about with whom
soever she pleased. III he didn't
we'll. she was satisfied that
Prentiss was seriously interested.
Even IL the romance came 10 moth
ing she had a good talking point
IL she wanted Tommy back. 1t was
only fair for her to 60 about with
other men and test her love for
him. she would tell Tommy. At
worst II could only be a matter OF
begging his forgiveness.
She was quite easy in her mind
about Tommy even in regard to
Prentiss' jealousy OF him. Yes,
Prentiss had been jealous the time
he had called for Beryl and met
Irene entertaining Tommy.
Tommy. she had explained when
Prentiss asked about him, was q
boy she'd known since childhood.
He practically lived az their house.
She expected Beryl would marry
him some day. Oh yes. Beryl was in
love with him Prentiss believed
this because he felt SO certain
Beryi was in love with someone.
Irene didn't believe Tommy had
quite made w his mind about Il
yet-but he would. Beryl always
got what she wanted.
Irene sighed with this remark.

or curse Prentiss had felt sorr-l
for her. Her acceptance, utterl
without bitterness, OF a situation,
that would have filed most girl
with envy. was SO pathetic that hd
had been impelled to do something's
nice for her. IL was then he had
invited her TO meet the two radio
celebrities whom everyone wa

were men-was not at all i'm.
pressed with Irene but Prentiss
didn't like him anyway. The other
fell for her with n boom. This
naturally did her no harm In her
campaign TO win Prentiss.
A IL evening she was demure.
a. The attention OF the grsat
comedian did not seem TO mean a
thing 10 her, and that pleased Prem
tiss. or course the comedian was
married but Prentiss couldn't know
that Irene had thought or that.
When they we're ready 10 leave
he told Irene that he would drive
his roadster % the garage where
his father kept a closed car for his
use when IN New York. and II ne
could get q chauffeur 20 drive them
out to Long Island he'd leave the
roadster in the garage and take
the other ar.
Irene knew what that meant.
When a man wants 20 give his un-
divided attention to a girl-and get
her home at q respectable hour

city traffic 10 reach a much-traveIed
country highway.
Prentiss had said something
about supper at a club and though
Irene had said she'd love to 20 she
thought she'd better not. She could
Q he was eager to talk 10 her. and
she was just as eager to hear what
he had to say. Prentiss was glad
she vetoed the supper club.
They found a driver for the Gay
lord limousine. Mr.. Gaylord pre-
ferred TO travel long distances by
train. and he was now IN Oakdale,
but he always took his chauffeur
with HIM
As Prentiss helped Irene into the
car she thought Of the night Beryl
had been driven home in this
Limousine. Her sister had been In
her glory that night.
Prentiss lost no time In making
love to her. Irene's little fiutter Of
pretense was completely submerged
In his amorous embrace. He kissed
her eagerly and declared he was
going 70 marry her. Irene did not
remind him that he had not asked

Would Prentiss' father come on for
Il? She was glad she wasn't going
% have a mOther-in-law. She sup
posed she'd be very important So
cially in Oakdale.
frequently Prentiss interrupted
her pleasant speculation with a re-
newal OF his plea for an early we'd
ding day. Invariably she chided
him gently with a question OF her
own. "Prentiss. how can / promise
that before you've ever spoken to
my parents?"
ONCE or twice Prentiss felt like
= saying. "Oh. hang your par.
ents!" but feared Irene would mis-
understand. He liked her hlial at
titude. Good 10 your parents
good 10 your husband" Why wasn't
that as good an axiom Az the n
about a son who is good 20 hts
mother being good to his wife?
Still he didn't like the idea Of
Irene's parents interfering with his
plans. He was accustomed 10 hav-
ing his own way. But he couldn't
blame them. and told himself he
owed them a vote on thanks for
having q daughter ~ sweet as
