They are faithful to the old Dominican tradition of the love of learning. Here are some of the examples: — - » i;■■,:-, , Pupils of Form —St. Dominic's College, jr. jp Dunedin. | ■'■• "Unfathomable sea, whose waves are years." I' ■ ■' Time (Shelley). | ''"'■'.

From a Wanganui Correspondent: ; "I know that my Redeemer liveth." k| ""Thou knowest, Lord, Thou know'st my life's deep story." All the lines chosen are beautiful, and the s- matter will remain forever a question of H individual choice. If thought is the norm H..,-. the quotations from Gray. Shelley, E. B. !■._'.■ ■; Browning, and Dryden will content many !>. readers: but if beauty is the norm that tremendous line of Swinburne's —"Blossom by "-•.; blossom the Spring begins" can never be : -"-*''''■■' passed over. Through it Spring, blossom by t- blossom, creeps into our hearts. Swinburne [•■ , wrote some unfortunate sensual verses that :■;>> soil:and besmirch but no 5 man can deny the ; ■"••>* wonder of such lines, the wonder of the l'/f»w ; . : v chorus from "Atalanta," Swinburne was the i ■..•' . servant of beauty, its scullion sometimes, but h .' none the less faithful in its service. V Of Your Charity | ./]■■'■■■■ earth lie'lightly 'on Katherine Hughes, that r-.'- strange, 1 magnetic woman, feeble of frame

but stern of spirit, who visited this country three years ago. She was a Canadian, an archivist. She held an important position as a Canadian agent in London. She came of good old Irish stock, and in Ireland's sorrowful hour she turned to her. She resigned the London post to return to Canada. There she told the true condition of affairs in Ireland. No obstacle was too formidable for her. She wrote, she spoke, and a fine pen, and a finer voice made that story poignant. Her lectures here will be long remembered. She was born at Prince Edward Island and she spent part of her early life teaching the Indians. The life of the great missionary Pere La Combe we owe to her. She was associate editor of the Montreal Star and contributed articles to the Canadian Encyclopaedia. She was also provincial archivist tor Alberta. The Kingdom of God to her soul. Modern Fiction It is hard to know whether the modern novel is the result of the times, or whether the tendencies of the age are due in part to the modern novel. The conclusion would probably be a compromiseaction and reaction, flex and reflex. At all events the modern conception of women is at least affected by heroines as conceived by leading novelists. And what is the woman of modern fiction? A neurotic, sex-ridden, unfortunate, less a type of emancipation than of subjection: Emancipated from male domination, yet the slave of the creed of individualism. Let us take a. lew examples. Take McKenna's "Soma," a hopeless rank little creature, unworthy of any man's devotion, yet nevertheless an ever-present invitation to the unsophisticated to follow a bad example. It might have been kind of Mclvenna to warn readers less comely than Sonia that they might, on imitating her. find themselves on the streets. Take his //Lady Lilith." A hectic ) jade who sins from boredom and wearies even of sin. Compton Mackenzie's women have gleams of grace. Mackenzie may yet write the novel we all hope for, but no one could call his women inspiring types. No one could say that in their presence souls stand more erect. One would expect something better from the women novelists. Both Rose Macaulay and May Sinclair remind one of a line in Browning "Bit into the live man's flesh for parchment.'' They write with acid instead of ink. Their method is almost microscopic. Sheila Kaye Smith is at least more human. Joanna Godden is a yeoman in skirts, a full blooded, bouncing yeoman, smelling of the byre, but ' there is in her that generosity that redeems the worst character in Tbanez, —the generosity of the Magdalen who spilled nard in Bethania. Morgan, the sea blown, winered witch who by her death destroyed a town, is. in literature at least, a. fine creation, but Morgan has no soul. She is like one of the

women who crossed the border from! Tir nai M ;| n Og. Edith Wharton's women have a cer-\ tain nobility that saves them from utter/ ||i blight but hot is there a type, an ideal type/ to be, found". , '■'",. -, '..%~\?rsi Evolving a Type The French are evolving a type, broad > browed, stern, and thoughtful. This type recurs through drama and novels. Clandel s.:|f| has it in Sygne. Bazin has it over and over, }..';o\jsl even Boylesve has it. Hardy just missed it . in Tess. Tess is ruled by instinct, a pro-, ;,;• tectivo childish instinct that makes her grand ; ..■ in desecration, lofty in ignorance. She gives ' 0;i her greatest gift without a thought of envy /' £ or jealousy when at the end she gives the man she loves to the sister she loves. Yet ~-': one feels that Tess is a leaf blown about by I W\ the gusts of fate, torn at last from its tree and loth to go. Women, however, like ■-' Hemon's Marie Loti's Gaud ,;; in the Iceland Fisher rule every action not ~} by instinct but by conscience. Grand, serene and pure, they take life not as a thing to be endured but as a trust to be accounted for. :;•! Marie Chapdelaine has become Canada. m There is as yet no women that is England. Let evry country follow France and Canada and evolve a type. —r" ■ •• DIOCLSL OF DUNEDIN ; The carnival held at His Majesty's Theatre in aid of the fund for erecting a new convent,; -•,. at North-east Valley for the Dominican Nuns was brought to a conclusion on Saturday night in the presence of a crowded gathering. Rev. Father Kaveney very cordially „.- thanked the stallholders and their assistants ( also those who had provided the attractive " entertainment which had been staged nightly with such success. He had a special word to say of the generous support given the undertaking by so many non-Catholic friends. , | As a result of the carnival the convent build- t ing fund will benefit to the extent of just on I £3IOO. I To Mesdames Rowland, Walsh, and Ryall ' the children of St. Vincent de Paul Orphanage, South Dunedin, are indebted for several term holiday treats. These kind ladies thoughtfully organised and supervised'pleasant outings for the children, and on Satur- . ■ ■ day afternoon accompanied them to the Carnival de Luxe, where a most enjoyable time was passed. To add to their pleasure each of the following ladies generously contributed a. sum of money to be spent by the orphans at the carnival:—Mesdames Allan, M. Quirk; \i McKendrick, W. Quirk, McCormack, Rich-' ardson, and Miss Heffernan. The Sisters of. §j Mercy in charge of the orphanage are deeply grateful to all these kind friends who made the holidays so happy for the children.

Society was held in their social club rooms. Octagon, on Tuesday evening, the Ist inst., the president (Bro. A. Gillick) presiding over a very large attendance of members. Sick and other accounts were passed for payment and a considerable amount'of business transacted. Two new members were elected and four : candidates proposed for membership. The president and Bro. J. J. Marlow, jun., P.P., being the Hibernian Society delegates to the Friendly Societies' Council, left at this stage of the meeting to attend the council meeting, and Bro. J. Hughes, V.P., took the president's chair and conducted the remainder of the meeting. Those present afterwards spent a pleasant few hours in social pursuits in the club rooms. The club is still proving a success. Debates, cards, and other attractions continue to prove interesting to all who take advantage of the resources offered. The thanks of the society are due to Mrs. M. A. Jackson for her handsome donation of'several pictures which adorn the rooms. Her kind and thoughtful act has greatly pleased the members. Catholic young men generally are ■urged to become members of the club, and so help along this good movement. ■ "0-> . Diocese of Christchurch (Concluded from page 31) Bede's), and Mr. B. Rennell; pianoforte duet by Misses D. Blake and Mavis O'Brien; pianoforte solo, Miss Joan Blake; instrumental trio, Misses. A., 8., and M. Rennie; and choruses by the convent pupils. The clergy j | present were Rev. Dr. Geaney, Fathers Out[s3 trim, Monaghan, and Dowling (St. Bede's College) T. Hanrahan (Riccarton), . Heffernan, S.M., and St. Mary's resident priests. , Mr. H. H. Loughnan, on behalf of St. Mary's parishioners, expressed to Father I "O'Connell the pleasure felt at his return to

the parish, and particularly when he brought with him renewed health and .vigor. He assured Father O'Connell of ,the loyalty of his people, who v had seconded every effort of Father Roche and his brother priests during his absence. Father O'Connell, who was received with prolonged applause, said he felt very flattered with the huge gathering under such ■ unfavorable weather conditions, and expressed his deep gratitude for the cordiality extended to him.. In briefly recounting his movements in Australia, during his stay of live months he paid a tribute to the warmhearted people of the Commonwealth States, and detailed interestingly the workings of the great Lewisham Hospital, Sydney, at which, including the staff, the average number housed there was 400 daily. There were eight medical men on the permanent staff and 07,000 patients had been treated during the past year. In conclusion he thanked all who had contributed to make his homecoming such" a pleasant remembrance and expressed feelingly his gladness and joy in being back once more with his beloved people movement against a hoteful, soul-destroying of St. Mary's. New Plymouth (From our own Correspondent.) September 11. An example of generosity has been set New Plymouth residents by Mr. and Mrs. S. Hooper, for they have donated £IOOO to the Catholic school building fund. This handsome gift is but one of the very many made to the. church and school by Mr. and Mrs. Hooper. No collector for a good cause has ever been sent away empty-handed, and thenis good reason to believe that their charity is not confined to New Plymouth alone, but to deserving objects throughout New Zealand. This latest gift of Mr. and Mrs. Hooper is a splendid ending to the bazaar which has just concluded, and which was a decided success. Several functions have recently been held in honor of Miss Doreen Healy. who is to be married to Mr. Thomas O'Connell on September 16. Mrs. J. Bennett was hostess at an afternoon and Mr. F. Quin at an evening party. ~,' THE BAZAAR. • At last, after many postponements ami vicissitudes, the bazaar is an accomplished fact. On August 31, in the presence of a very large gathering, Mr. S. C. Smith, M.P., in a happy speech in which he referred to the never-ending sacrifices of Catholics in the interests of Catholic education, declared' the bazaar open. The object of the bazaar was to obtain funds for the erection of a new school on the property known as "Heidelburg," on the South Road, a. property con- , sisting of over 10 acres, recently acquired by , the Church for this purpose. The bazaar could be divided roughly into five compartmentsa series of tug-of-war contests on a raised platform, a number of * heavily stocked stalls where an excellent variety of goods were displayed for sale, a variety of side-shows,, a special dance hall, * and lastly hut not least important, the ladies

in charge of the raffles and guessing competitions." ''"" '' '" ' " H y'.'jQ Mrs. Orbell was in charge of the .centrall stall; Mrs. Lyle of the refreshment 'stall;' Miss McCarthy of the west end; Mrs. folding of the cake stall; Mrs. Jones of the children's stall; and Mrs. Burke of the sweets stall. • '§M The committee in charge of the tug-of-war; which created great interest, 'consisted of Father Miriogue, and Messrs. McPhillips, F. Quin, and the energetic methodical secretary," Mr. J. Barry; Mr. Stainton was referee,] Mr. Train, umpire: and Mr. T. Bennett' timekeeper. The prizes were valuable, and were won by—lst. Eltharo (£50); 2nd, Spurdle's Inglewood team (£20); 3rd, Inglewood! carriers (£10). Father Minogue congratulated the winning teams and presented the prizes. Ho emphasised the great assistance he had received from Mr. J. J. Powell, who erected the stage tor the contest, and various other structures. It would take too long to mention all those who assisted in making the bazaar -the success it was, but reference is due to Mr K. TN hittle, jnn., who had charge of the dance hall; to Messrs. L. Smith. Eddie, Sinclair, (Gorman, Bennett, Courtney, who' had charge of side shows; and to Mr. J. Hurley "I Inglewood; who travelled 17 miles backwards and forwards every night to assist in "inning a side show. His action is keenly npprecnted. A very special word of praise .s due to the energetic and capable secretary {Mr. J. Clarke), to whom is due largely the smooth running of the function. He' has; «»wii on duty as .secretary for about twelve' months and has had a strenuous time, especially during the last week. Although the balance sheet has not yet been published, iSm to add to the building fund. g

My dear Little People, . What a pity you are not VOTING with more interest, I did think you would have done, better than you are doing. However, it can't be helped, only when I went through ' my big pile of letters, some from Old Members and some from New Members, I couldn't help thinking how good it would have been if every writer had tried to say which Grownup's letter seemed the best. Anyway, we'll get to business and go on with the VOTING as I have it, because we must finish the Competition. Lauriston. Dear Anne, I think the best suggestion of all the Grown-Ups is that of LILY MULLIGAN'S. Colleen and Pearl think the same. As any little things made for the Orphans would be acceptable. Hoping you and your Little People are well. I remain, your loving friend, Erin McNeill. Bath Road, Riverton. Dear Anne, I now take the opportunity to write and thank you for the beautiful badge which I received some time ago. lam going to have a trial in the Competition. I'm not much of a judge but I think MONA COTTERELL'S MOTHER'S letter was very interecting. I think too' that a little poetry every week would make the page brighter and more interesting, and if every member sent one penny stamp it would mean more Competitions, and that would mean a lot. Well dear Anne I must close. You will see that I have left Dipton and am living in Riverton. Have I a birthday mate on loth October? From your old pupil, Mary Donagby. (Yes, you have a mate, Nora Conrick.. Main Boad. Upper Hutt. —Anne.) Pahiatua. I vote for Mr. H. J. Cuttance. —Monica Corrigan, Pahiatua. 25 Murray Street, Greymouth. Dear Anne, I have read all the Grown-Ups' letters and as you have asked us to vote before the end of the month, I thought I would write tonight. I like best MRS. E. QUlNX'S'letter, Okain's Bay, Banks Peninsula. They > were all very nice letters but I think this was the best because it was nice, long and very witty. Well, 'dear Anne, as this is all I can say, I will.close with best love to yourself and all the Little People. I re-

main, your loving little friend, Tarcie Heffernan. ' 25 Murray Street, Greymouth. Dear Anne, I am writing to tell you that I liked MRS. E. QUINN'S letter best. It was a very nice letter and was very funny. As this is all this time I will say good-night. Love and best wishes. Your little friend, Billy Heffernan. Otokia, via Dunedin. Dear Anne, I now take much pleasure in letting you know whose letter 1 like best, it is PAT PRENDEVILLE'S GROWN-UP WOMAN PERSON'S, because she mentions about the children, and the men and the women of the future, an outside interest and those who live in the out-back places particularly, makes them personally interested in the arrival of the mails. Well dear Anne, as this is all the news for this time, I will close with love. From Margaret Cuttance. Rongotai Terrace. Wellington. Dear Anne, I have been watching lor you to say "go" and now I am going to tell you which letter 1 like best. Well Anne 1 think the letter written by H. J. CUTTANCE is the best. This is why I like that letter best, because it tells you about the birds and we Little People always like to hear about bird life. So Anne, I think you will agree with me when I say that it is a very interesting letter. We are having bad weather here Anne. To-day is Sunday and we have no Sunday school so I thought I would write to you. I will close now with love from Veronica Philpott. Okain's Bay. My dear Anne, 1 am writing these lew lines to tell you which of the letters I like the best. Well, I think MY MOTHER'S letter is better than any of the others, firstly, because it was written by my mother, and secondly, it has very useful suggestions in it. Dear Anne, I will end this short note hoping to see the result of the Competition soon. With heaps of good wishes to the Club and yourself. I remain, your fond friend, Trephena Quinn. . , Okain's Bay. Dear Anne, I like MY MOTHER'S letter best because it is my mother's. And I would like a ride in the Daydream to Nazareth House to give

Mother Menu a her share of the penny; '4 Good-bye now. With love, from Terence /j Quinn. g| Benmore. . 1 Dear Anne, ' I read over carefully the Grown-Ups' let- -| ters in the Tablet and I think MRS. COT- S TERELL'S letter is the best. And I like | her suggestions about us Little Ones send- | ing nice pieces of poetry to the Tablet. It m would make our page more interesting. And to send a penny stamp every time Ave write, .. the money to go towards buying prize's for M the Little One sending in the best piece of 1| poetry from time to time. We will all be m looking forward to seeing our best pieces of | poetry put in the Tablet and we will be all; trying hard to win the prize. Well dear Anne. I must close row with best wishes' g, from your little friend, Bridgie Reilly. m Cronadun. Dear Anne, i .-/•■■ I am very glad vou got some big people to | write to you. 1 think H. J. CUTTANCE'S 1 letter is the best as it is the most interesting m one. So I vote for Cuttance. From 1 your old friend, Leonard Joseph McMahon. 1 Dunedin. -: Dear Anne, . ■ It is nearly a year since I wrote to you and when 1 saw the Grown-TJps' letters in j the Tablet I thought I would write and give yon my opinion of them. I think MRS. | QUINN'S letter was the most interesting from the Little People's point of view. I write to the Birthday Mate you found for me, Eileen • Byrne. Dear Anne I have a nice black cat can you give me a name for it? My sister, Molly is writing to you also, we both read the Little People's page. I will close now wishing your page every success. Eileen McCarthy. P.S. —I am enclosing six stamps for a badge. 'M (Did I name your cat Eileen? If not ' call him "Tarry" because he's had to wait so long.—Anne.) ' :^ Dunedin. „ Dear Anne, .4 It is a long time since I have written to v you, but I am writing now ,to let you know J which of the Grown-Ups' letters I, like best. I think MRS. QUINN'S letter was the best, and her suggestion about the orphanage was 4 a good one. The Sisters would be very pleased if every Little Person paid a penny each! week.. The last time I wrote to you I wrote

t.-> : ;■'■■■. .-■■ ■•■-• . ;:.. from Takapuna, but we live in Dunedin now ■ »from I to St. Joseph's School. Have now *ig4 I go to St. Joseph's School. Have you t >^' mate for me Anne,, 4th August ? ':■■ /I will 'be twelve then. I will close nowy | wishing the L.P.L.C. every success. From Molly McCarthy. ■ '•' ST .. . •• '■ •iy L Masterton. I . Dear Anne, Master ton. Dear Anne, I have read and re-read the letters in the Tablet, and at last I have decided I like the letter written by LILY MULLIGAN. I have r 1 chosen this letter because the suggestions appeal to me. I think it would be lovely to save our pocket money and make garments for the dear little orphans. I received my badge safely and was delighted with it. I will- close now with much love and best. wishes from Dorothy McPhail. | Reefton. Dear Anne, ~ I am writing to tell you the letter I like . • best. LILY MULLIGAN'S- suggestion to make a, garment for the orphans at Christmas is lovely. I think the monthly subscription is very nice. Now I think Mrs. Quinn's was the next nicest, it was very hard, to choose from the two. I remain, your loving friend, Frances Paul. |:< Dear Anne, Thanks so much for the badge and also tho little Letter Mate. I wrote Patricia a. letter and am looking forward to an answer . soon. My Grandad wrote me a letter from Dunedin and told me he was proud of me when he read my letter in the Tablet. I have a little baby sister and her name is Nancy. Mother said my vote is for JOHN'S MOTHER at CHATHAM ISLANDS, mother admired her letter in which she said it V brought Catholic families together that would never know each other if it wasn't for the friendships made between their girls and boys through the L.P.L.C. page. With best love from Honoria McDonald. (Glad Grandad was pleased to see your letter Honoria. Do you ever write a. letter to himself? I ask because I think if you watch yourself you will become a very good writer . Don't , get careless with your penmanship, watch it.—Anne.) That is all the VOTING to hand, but, just in case someone is writing from a long distance, we'll wait another week. After that we will count VOTES and announce the RESULT. As my Little People all seem to like Poetry I will give you a pretty piece to learn. GUARDIAN ANGELS Mother told it me on Sunday. I've been looking all the week If we all have Guardian Angels, then. I can't have ,far to seek 'Cos our garden isn't very large, nor very, very big; '.. , - ~•■-:.. There's only two green-grassy parts, and where the gardeners dig; ~ .. - And where the little pond is where the lilies go to sleep, > -A , And the tiny fishes sparkle when they come _*V up top to peep. t .But I've looked all round the summer-house, and then inside the frame,

And underneath the barrow, and it's always just the same. . '">,:.... There's never any angels—not a single'one I know — ■> ■' * Nor yet among the gooseberries, nor where the roses grow. But" now at last I've found them and I shan't tell anyone, 'Cos I think they're very private and they like to be alone. I was underneath the oak-tree and I just heard someone speak,. And when I listened very hard I heard the branches creak. And tho' I couldn't see them, they moved the leaves and things, And I heard like feathers rustling, so I 'spect they waved their wings. I don't hear quite just what they say, although I wish I could, But I love to hear them whisper, and I think it makes me good. I always thought when I was big I'd like to keep a shop, But now I mean to climb that tree and climb and never stop, Until 1 find the angels there, and then I'll sit and rest, And listen to them talking, for I think that's really best To bear exactly what they say. It's never polite, you see, Besides, I'd like to know the words when angels talk to me; And then I'll say -Good-bye!" to them, like mother, with a. nod, And when I reach the very top, maybe I'll find it's God. NEW SIGHTS. I like to see a thing 1 know lias not been seen before. That's why 1 cut my apple through To look into the core. It's nice to think though many an eye Has seen the ruddy skin.
