Literally dozens of huge
bouquets of flowers filled the

the Ambassador while wait

He was in the midst of writ
ing the speech he will make
when he presents his creden-

He was interested in the
expression "doe-eyed" as APP
piled to his wife. In ancient
Persian poetry, most of the
women are described as hav-
ing these lovely eyes, pal
ticularly the women from
ShiraZ.
Maybe that's the best way
to describe Shahnaz-a mod

an ancient Persian poem.

Her Imperial Highness
Princess Shahnaz, wife of the
new Ambassador of Iran, is
adorable.
The adjective is appropri-
ate because she is a 5-foot-l
doe-eyed. teen age beauty
with the poise of a lady of
state and the loves of a young
girl.
One can safely predict that
the 19-year-old daughter of
His Imperial Majesty, the
Shahinshah of Iran, and her
handsome 6-foot-2 husband
Ardeshir Zahedi will become
one Of the most sought after
couples in Capital society.
Since he is only 81, they are
unquestionably the youngest
ambassadorial couple to serve
in Washington in the history
of the United States.
Obviously in the course Of
fulfilling their diplomatic
functions they will move in
older official circles. But one
hopes they will have a chance
to mingle with the gayer
young socialite group so they
won't leave the Capital think
ing that everything here folds
up at II pm.
The Princess, herself, may
do something to pep up the
scene. When asked what
kind Of parties she planned
to give, she replied in her
modest, restrained manner
and excellent English (she
went to Marymount School
In Los Angeles from age II
to l3). "All kinds of parties.
Formal dinners, cocktail par
ties. dances. I love to dance"
she said. She prefers dinner
with dancing-the type Of
party to which women can
wear short evening dresses.
THEY ENTERTAINED A
GREAT DEAL in Teheran,
said the young hostess in
whose house the King met his
new bride. "At nights we
had-I don't know how many
friends come in, or we had
a cinema in our house or we
had dancing parties. Or If
not in our house, we would
go out"
But neither she nor her
' husband gives the impress
sion Of frivolous people. They
are more like a young official
Washington couple whose in
terests range from interna-
tional and sports affairs to
domestic life.

house" she hesitated pom
dering the major problem of
a move. The heating system
in the present Embassy, she
explained, did not work too
well. Some of the rooms are
too warm. others too cold.
(How right she is. The draw
ing rooms at a recent party
there were so cold the women
had to get their furs, but
nothing could be done to
raise the temperature.)
If the heating system can
be fixed. she will redecorate
to give the residence a
warmer atmosphere. She had
not seen the plans at that
point of the annex going
UP next door which is sup
posed to be equipped with
entertaining rooms.

God Love You
Recognize Christ
In Everyone

in His Mystical Body, the
Church. The complaint of st.
Paul against the Corinthians
might be repeated in our gen
Grafton, namely 1--WE are not
discerners of the Lords
Body" He comes to our day
battered and beaten, from
Russia and China.
THE oNLY TWO who no
tice Him are those who rec
ognized Ulysses, the humble,
and those schooled in pain
and sacrifice. The humble are
like the dog who recognized
Ulysses, or the OK and the ass
who recognized the Saviour at
the crib; the other group are
those who have been close TO
suffering and recognize His
scars received in the modern
Golgothas of the world. His
Heavenly Body is beyond the
reach of nails, but His Mysti-
cal Body the Church is still
undergoing its bitter passion.
AS Masefield put it:
"One more flint upon His
way,
Another thorn upon His head
Another mock by where He
tread.
Another nail, another cross,
All that you are, is that
Christ's loss"
The poor in spirit and those

who love sacrifice, these alone
know Christ. They know Him
in their self denial of a
pleasure, in their sacrifice of
a part of a favor received by
sending an offering to the Ho-
ly Father in thanksgiving to
help our lepers, or to build
a chapel in Africa, where Our
Lord never before was adored
in the Blessed Sacrament.
THERE Is NO happiness in
the world comparable to the
recognizing of Christ with
His scars. Could we but see
all our wrongs as done to the
Master of the Feast, then we
would discern the Body of the
Lord which is His Church.
May we hear from you as the
poor in spirit or a friend OF
the Man with scars?

The speedy triumph of
the United Safes in the
War with Spain diverted
attention from everything
else. However, no dis
traction was needed to insure
the total collapse of the
American Protective Associa-
ton. Bigotry and hatred of
the Church had already pail
ed the taste of almost all
Americans. Once again in re-
ligion the United States was
truly "the land of the free"
A distinct improvement in
the position of the faithful
was apparent to the observ-
ant in 1895 brief conflict
with a Catholic nation. Histor-
ians generally attribute the
resort 10 hostilities to the in
sistent headlines of some seq
ments of the press.
Intent though they were on
building circulation, Hearst
and Pulitzer newspapers did
not seek to arouse animosity
toward the Spanish because
they were Catholics. Unlike in
the War with Mexico so years
before, the churches of Cuba
were not held forth as places
to be pillaged in the event of
victory. Nor did members Of
the Faith have to listen to
preachings against the Church,
as was true for Catholic sol
diers in 1846.

If the actual incidents were
comparatively minor, their
relation to postwar outbreaks
should not be overlooked.
The Kansas farmer who
drills his wheat in the fall
may use some of it for pastur-
age. The success of his crop,
however, will not be determin-
ed by a particularly verdant
stand before the SHOWS come.

ing the golden fields late in
June will give the answer. Our

CATHOLCs IN AMERICA
Catholics Are Smeared BY The Menace

Hawkins was so impressed
that he at once had the bill
killed in committee.
Meanwhile, as one writer
has jocularly expressed, the
LUsifania had been sunk by
a German U-boat, having no
discoverable connection with
the Pope" The most avid SEN
sationalists were satiated with
the war news. Subscriptions
to The Menace declined, but
Billy Parker's excursions to
Kansas City olives" grew
more expensive with the
H.C.L. High Cost of Living,
the phrase of the day.
THE HEAVILY INSURED
plant of the newspaper went
up in flames as a sort of
Christmas present to Catho-
lies in late December, 1919. A
skeptical insurance company
refused to nay off in cash and
forced Parker to rebuild.
Hammer and nails could not
restore the address plates of
subscribers and The Menace
started down the desolate
road to extinction. But its
fame-or infamy - was not
extinguished immediately.
According TO Frank Peters
in the Springfield Mo.) News

White House receiving line
blurted out: "Mr. President,

Watson's Magazine dwindled
in circulation with the disin-
tegration of this political
party.
His trumpet call for new
subscribers was an editorial
headed ''The Roman Catholic
Hierarchy: The Deadliest
Menace Catholic bish-
ops and the confessional were
his alternate punching bags
for the next several years.
TWO CATHOLICS in polit-
zeal life were Watson's per-
sonal targets. Edward D.
White was elevated to Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court
and Joseph P. Tumulty follow
ed Woodrow Wilson from the
governors office in New Jer-
sey to the White House as
private secretary. Watson's
caricature of Tumulty striv-
ing to adjust his halo was the
least offensive of his car
toons.
Three times the Depart
ment of Justice sought to
have his journal barred from
the mails. Watson's innate po-
litical knack was borne out
when he was elected United
States Senator in 1920.
That Wafson's Magazine
truly lived up to its claim of
a national circulation may be
doubted. But there could be
no questioning the tremendous
distribution Of a weekly which
gushed forth from the town of
Aurora in the OZarks of Mis-
souri,. In November 1911, the
Arichbishops of New York
and Boston we're named to
join James Gibbons in the
College of Cardinals.
THE FOLLOWING MONTH
Wilbur F. Phelps took ever
the abandoned opera house of
Aurora for publication Of
The Menace. The first issues
we're broadcast free, but that
was not necessary for long.
Within a year the subscrib-
ers had mounted to 10000,
thirty times the population
of Aurora, counting from the
patriarehs TO babies at the
breast.
Three years later this fig
ure seemed insignificant
when a million copies a week
were loaded on every train
out of this southwestern Mis-
souri, town Steam engines
coming in did not pull so
much bulk but a load of more
value. Envelopes not only
brought the price of new
subscriptions, but payments
for the host of ti-Catholic
books which were advertised
profusely in The Menace.
