 Diana, hearing the low, sure notes of his voice, felt that she was nSten- ing to all authority and understand ing.
 There was Q curious lit in his voice and his teeth looked very white in his brown face. She re- Elected that she had not been wrong about the way his chin jutted. It gave him an unflinching, demand ing appearance. Looking at him, she felt his vitality lift her. His look made her Q little breathless.

 Diana was completely bewildered.

He was definitely not the type. Reason ar. gued, however, that he was too well known as Q personality to be other than honorable in his intention to simply buy her dinner. This might be his way of showing he was sorry for her. Again the thought that a man with such powerful connections might be willing to help her procure another job appealed to her. And In the meantime, even the price of 6 dinner saved was just that much mere in her pocketbook.

Dorothy Day At ALbertus Mdg71uS

Miss Dorothy Day, editor of the Catholic Worker, and social service worker in the House of Hospitality movement in New York, recently addressed the students and faculty of Albertus Magnus College, in the library of Rosary Hall. Miss Day is the author of several books, includ- ing Prom Union Square To Rome" in which she has described her con- version from Communism to Cath olicism, and House of Hospitality" in which she has described her work among the homeless and jobless men in the house on Mott street.
 The primary purpose of Miss Days work is to bring men back to Christ, first by attending to their immediate material needs. With the goal of building a better social or- der, Miss Day urged Catholics to take a more active interest in es- tablishing a sense of brotherhood among men and to combat Com munisnl with Catholic philosophy.
 There are thirty houses of hospi- tality in the United States, each one of which is self-supporting and self-governing. There are always men eager to work for them, and often the problem is to find things for the men to do. In response to one of the many questions put to her, Miss Day said that the college student could help in the work by assisting in the houses of hospitality during summer vacations, and by distributing literature.
 Miss Jeanne Brown, president of the Catholic Literature Club, intro duced the speaker to a large group which included many young women from this vicinity who are students at the college.
