The Catholic Alternative. The first step in the Catholic Reaction is the confession: "I That is what have sinne(l." makes Catholic Action so much less palatable than ready-to-wear theories like Communism. If we want to put the world right, our first business is to strive to put ourselves right. Is that a truism? I hope it is. But I am afraid that usually we neglect it. For too often we seem to think that if only we organise properly t he individual will come right. Based on Sheer poppycock! t he baseless assumption that men you and I) are naturally good and only go wrong because of unfortunate environment. C must take a leaf No, no! When out of St. Peter's book. first he realised the Divinity of Our Lord he made his confession Only thus was it posof sin. sible for him to become the rock on which the Church was built. All men must he aware that this world is full of injustice. Only those who believe—contrary to their own experience of themselves—that mankind can in this life ever become entirely sinless, will hope that ever in this life will there be no injustice. perhaps .or Nevertheless therefore, it is our duty to war against injustice. striving first always to he just ourselves. But we must begin at home. This is the scientific method. Firstly because a nation consists of a number of individuals, and its quality depends on the quality of its individuals. Secondly because a nation depends And on a number of families. before we can hope to be just in the, wider social sphere we must be just in our family relations. So the first aim of the Catholic Reaction is to urge the individual • to strive to be just: the second aim is to make the family strong. For the health of the body depends on the health of the cell. And the family is the of the State. Industrial Capitalism. Now there are many grave injitstices in modern England. Modern capitalism. which grew up among the ruins of medieval Catholic civilisation. and battenon a peasantry disposs,essed of their land, has now been compellea to observe a certain measure of decency in its treatment of its serfs. But it has revenged itself hv making them less and less self -supporting. That mirage of liberty —"free" c ompetition—has vanished. We have now a number of combines c losely inter-locked, which are f ast squeezing small mastercraftsmen and small traders out of existence and are attaining a position of dictatorship towards their employees and the consumers, who will finally he identical. so far as internal trade is concerned.

The Catholic Corporate State is the medieval Guild system. but with a much wider sphere of operation, since there is a far larger proportion of the population engaged in industrial pursuits than there was in the Middle Ages. Also, so far as actual experiments on the Continent are concerned ,there is a much greater measure of central control. Distributism is the system under which ownership is so widely distributed that any family may if it will own the means of existence, and carry on its independent business as a family concern. I am a Distributist. Distributist Principles. We hold that the citizens of a nation are not free unless ownership of the means of existence is easily within the reach of all. W e take the gamily-unit because the family is the true unit of the State. It existed before the State, the State is no more than a number of families, and it has no purpose but to protect its families in their inviolable rights. We know that Distributism will work, for it has existed for centuries in many countries. It existed throughout Europe during the Middle Ages. There has been a great revival of it in many European countries since the Great War.

But we need not wait for the Government. couples Young can begin saving up at once in order to flee to the fields and have the money to buy the fields when they get there. Instead of more centralisation we call for more and more decentralisation. the placing of the conttol of local things more and more in local hands.

To bring it about in Britain will need first of all a change of heart. We need to abandon the pursuit of luxury, of money for its own sake, of pleasure as an end. We need to aim at doing good work, in honour of God. in support of our family, in the service of our neighbour who with us form the nation. If you think this change of heart impossible you can have little hope of heaven either for yourself or your neighbours. But no doubt this scheme of ours is a Reaction. We are not afraid of the word. Having come to the edge of a precipice we think that it is quite a good idea to turn back. Now in modern England the scales are always weighed against the small owner. Every wise medieval law against the profiteer. the cornerer. the heaperup of wealth in coin, goods or land. has been scrapped.

"Rebuilding a Lost Faith." This book is in its sixth edition and is a remarkable book. The author writes: "This book is the r esult of numerous requests to w rite an explanation of the motives, influences and arguments Nvhich brought me back to faith in God, the Bible. Immortality, and the Christian Religion, and finally led me to enter the ancient, Apostolic, Catholic Church, w hose. Primate is the Pope. It has seemed best to preface this explanation with a brief account of my youthful religious experi ence, between which and my present standpoint there stretches, like a desert between two oases, a spiritual wilderness of more than forty years." (Burns, Oates and Washbourne, 1935.)
"Communist Operations in Spain, 1931-36. "It is not words, but facts, that The facts talk and convince." given in this pamphlet concerning what has happened in Spain will convince anyone who seeks the truth regarding the present pitiable plight of the Spanish people. The evidence given is irrefutable. The vile activities of the Communists is exposed and cannot be denied, despite their world-wide propaganda in the secular press. The Communists of Spain have outraged nuns, murdered priests, and pillaged our altars, and yet they claim to have Catholics among their ranks. Would any Catholic— practising Catholic—tolerate such doings? So-called Catholics even in this land are too often blind to the meaning of Communism and all it stands for. Communism is atheism and everything (Burns, that is anti-Catholic. Oates and Washbourne, 1936.)

SEVEN "Catholicism, Protestantism and Capitalism." This book gives a very full, fair and learned survey of the whole problem of the relation. between Capitalism and Christianity. and of the -origins of the The author is a lecformer. turer in economic history at the University of the Sacred Heart at Milan. He has made a special study of the mediaeval origins of Capitalism, and he is very well up in the whole literature of the subject, including recent English literature. He begins by defining the nature of Capitalism and the capitalist spirit in contrast to the pre-capitalist ethics of the Catholic Society in which it arose. He goes on to describe the diffusion of the c apitalist spirit, and shows how it deevloped on the basis of the institutions of the previous period. and to describe its financial and commercial mechanism. Next'he discusses in a very interesting chapter how it conquered the State and the characteristics o f the fully developed capitalised State. Finally, he comes to the centre of his subject with a chapter on Catholicism and Capitalism. showing the complete incompatibility of the two, and their mutual hostility, and showing how it was possible for Capitalism to arise in a Catholic age and society. Last he deals with Protestantism and Capitalism. discussing Weber and his critics. and shows that Protestantism played a very essential part in itshe. rise and victory of Capitalism. Christopher Dawson writes: "This is a most valuable book and well deserves translation. I do not know any work that r.leal so adequately with the whole subject." (Sliced and Ward, 1935.1 The Puppet Show of Memory. In this book of reminiscences, Maurice Baring gives us glimpses of life in London and the country during the eighties. as seen through the eyes of a child. These are followed by sketcheof life at a private school, at Eton (1887-91) in a Germany family aHildesheim; Cambridge in 1893. and Oxford in 1896: the Foreign Office in 1898, and the British Embassy in Paris in 1899. The chapter on Paris contains portraits of several English diplomats and other personalities well known in Paris at the time, such as General de Galliget and Sarah Bernhardt. It is succ,eeded by chapters on diplomatic life at Copenhagen and Rome. The book closes on the eve of the R usso-Japanese War.

Catholic Women's League Established Father Wilfrid Ryan, S.J. Assists in Organisation Large Gathering in the Cathedral Hall The .Cathedral Hail was taxed t o capacity on Tuesday evening, when, in the presence of His Grace the Archbishop, the Catholic Women's League %vas launched on its active career. On the platform were His Grace the Archbishop, Rev. Father Wilfred Ryan, S.J., Very Rev. Dr. Kennedy, Adm.. Rev. Father Johnston. and Rev. Father Winston.
Ne‘‘ man Society, a public lecture, and he will be preaching in the Cathedral on Sunday—also anything else we may think of in the meantime -( Laughter). I am in the happy position to-night of listening to someone else do the talking. On most other occasions I have to do it myself. I have great pleasure in introducing you to Father Wilfred Ryan.
His Grace opened the proceedings with a brief address.
Father Ryan's Address. Father Wilfred Ryan, in his address, spoke of the _high honour conferred on His Grace the Archbishop of Perth at the Congress in Adelaide last year, when he was chosen by his fellow Archbishops of Australia to preach the sermon of the Congress— that was the sermon to the men. On that occasion, Father Ryan said, he had been able to sit back and listen to His Grace; now His Grace could sit back and listen to him. He was very grateful to His Grace for giving him the opportunity of a holiday in this State. Speaking of the Catholic Women's League in Adelaide. Father Ryan said it was inaugurated at the instigation of the Countess de Hemptinne. Although he had had some experience of Catholic women's work in Melbourne. Father Ryan was at first rather dubious as to how he should shape. However, the League in Adelaide was a great success and a very great power or good in the civic life of that city. The League in South Australia. of which Father Ryan has been Chaplain for seven years. is divided into two sections, a Senior and a Junior League. The work of the Catholic Women's League throughout the world had met with the special approval of the Pope. In urging on the Catholic women of the world he quotes the words of St. Paul. telling Timothy to "help those w omen who have laboured with me in the Gospel." showing very tiefinitelv that this work of Catholic Action for the women of the Church is nothing new, but that it was work that was being done, and being done thoroughly. in Apostolic times. and St. Paul emphasises this again and again in his Epistles. Father Ryan stressed that one of the most important points was a real spiritual foundation. for "out of the a',Iin(lance of the heart the mouth :peaketh." The I.eague meetings begin always with a prayer. followed In a short spiritual reading. after which the Chaplain says a few words of spiritual direction to the members. Then the business in hand is proceeded with. The Chaplain is really a link between the Bishop of the Diocese and the League. and whatever the Bishop says to the Chaplain "goes." The work of Catholic Action is very dear to the heart of His Holiness the Pope. and the Catholic Women's ' -•a Very definite part of Catholic Action. It was the wish of His Grace of Perth to divide Catholic Action in Perth into older and four sections: for y ounger men and for women.
" You have assembled this evening," said the Archbishop, "to inaugurate in this city a Catholic Women's league. 1 am tielighttd to see such a very tine attendance, and our distinguished visitor is also very delighted. The favourable impression that has been created will, I hope, continue. because you will see inure of Father Wilfred Ryan, our disringnished visitor. please God, as t he years go ahead. I have been very anxious for some years, for t he ;at three years at least, to hav e established here a Catholic Women's League, which could be a ffiliated with the leagues that are already established in South Australia. Victoria. New South \Vales and Queensland. Unfortunately we have been • lagging behind in the matter of women's t aganisations. but now I hope that we will be able to take our place with the other States. When the Countess de Hempfirn w was here in October last, I thought it was an excellent opportunity on that occasion to have announced that a Catholic Women's League %you'd be formed. have waited until I could find somebody more experienced in the work than myself or any el ,the priests here in order to provide this organisation. I looked around me and I could not mind anybody. I turned my eyes t o the East. where all the wise men conic from. and I had not to o further than our neighbouring ,- tate. South Australia. There I found our distinguished visitoi uf to-night, Father Wilfred S.J. He has been in charge . ..i the Catholic Women's League in Adelaide and has been Chaplain for some years. He is :t1S11 experienced in the work of the League in Melbourne. so he very fitted to give us the beneht of his wide experience and his wonderful organising capabilities here in Perth. Now, before I ask Rev. Father Ryan to address on. I wish to extend to him. on behalf of all assembled here, and, indeed, on.behall of all the Catholics in this State. a very heart V welcome. I welcome him on your behalf and on my own. and I thank him cordially for coming. He is very busy and has many positions to fill, and I hope that his stay amongst us will not he too strenuous. He has a big programme to go t hrough and I feel sure that his .'tay amongst us will be beneficial to us. He has other en;ragements—a lecture to the Chesterton Club. a lecture to the

Saturday, May 29, 1937. SUPPORT OF' THE CATHOLIC PRESS. Action, at present, consists mainly in talk about Catholic Action!" Whilst I am not prepared either to agree or disagree with this statement by the writer of a "Record" article some time ago,. must people will agree that any plan of campaign calls for a certain amount of preliminary 'talk.- They will also agree that most of us are inclined to waste too much time in "talk" ins.tead of getting on with any particular job. Now, there is one line of Catholic Action which suggests itself to me, and which should, I think: produce results. The recent wonderful improvement in "The Record- places it in the front r ank of Catholic publications, and it is now up to Catholics to see that the circulation is extended to embrace f . very Catholic family. After Mass recently, at a certain bush church, I endeavoured to put in a little good work on behalf of "The Record.- I found that nearly every member of the congregation read the paper, but that most were receivin“ it from friends in Perth, or elsewhere. Those particular friends are true Catholic Actionisfs, but, in every case, the recipients were well able to buy the paper themselves. In country centres, where Mass is celebrated only once or twice monthly, the sale of the paper at the church door is not very practicable or satisfactory, and the congregation should be persuaded to order through the local newsagent. The priest, who in country districts, has frequently to travel upwards of 50 miles between Masses, has little time for this work, and in every congregation there should be a small local eons. mittee whose special job shoud be to see that every Catholic home subscribes to the paper, either direct or through the loud newsagent The committee should canvass every non. stihaeribing family, and ask permission to supply names to newsagents This is essential, as it is important that the "Do it now!" principle be adopted. Unfortunately, the influence of a Catholic paper is confined mainly to t'atholies. the non-Catholic public in the MASS being ignorant even of the existence of such a paper. In reading recently the excellent articles by Dr. M. Kelly, Mr. Paul Brennan, and others, I regretted that the truth contained in those articles could not be conveyed to the non-Catholic public. I would suggest • that each week, before the type-metal is returned to the melting pot, the more outstanding ar. t icks be printed in leaflet form. If each member of, say, the Holy Name zfafalitY. would agree to purchase and d istribute a few of the leaflets amongst his non-Catholic friends in office, shop factory, the results would be far r caching. The work should not, however, be confined to the H.N.S., as e very Catholic society or club should help, and as thorough organisation is esseetial. I would suggest that a special committee for the work be form. eel, representative of all such societies If the priesthood was also of clubs represented, such committee could, in addition. undertake the work of replying. authoritatively, through the secular press, to the lying propaganda Copies of circulated by that press. r eplies refused publication. or mutilat rd, should be published in "The Re. , ord," with necessary particulars. and a:so circulated per medium of ths leaflets. In country districts, where no Catholic societies exist. the local 4 ommittees previously suggested. could .ike charge of the distribution of the ;caflets.---Yours, etc.. D. I.

Letters to the Editor C orrespondents are advised to limit their letters to brief and concise statements, thus avoiding unde sira.ble cuts. It should be remembered that not Christian principle appeals to the senses of persecutors of Christianity. . . Tolerance incites them to further persecution. Far better would it have been for ourselves religiously, socially, and industrially, had we adopted the principle of "prevention is better than cure," than turning the other cheek, with the inevitable result that Catholics in Germany, Russia and Spain are not only defending their faith, but their fives. Is it improbable that the Soviet hordes will ever at any time hold the reins of destiny here? It is not improbable; it is a possibility. Given the ruling over Perth for a month, a .week, nay, a day will be sufficient. That they could, and would, be subdued by the morrow I am prepared to believe. I am still further prepared to believe that many of our nuns and priests would have paid the price by the morrow. Communism is a fact: it is existent. To bring about the fulfilment of their "ideals," their patience is inexhaustible. . . . The modus operandi adopted by the Communist is this: Firstly, he fights within the fort. That is, he becomes a member of a trade§ union. He is an active worker therein, waiting, for 'ever waiting, the opportunity. ‘‘'here a number of members of the Communistic party are working they attend regularly their union meetings, then, when the time comes for the election of union officers, these Communis. tic members nominate one of their own for whatever positions are called for in the branch union. The next step is to secure a similar position in the union office itself (i.e., union representative. organiser, secretary, president, etc. Thus they secure a footing in the Trades Hall, and become members of the Australian Labour Party.

Seduction: The Labour Party and the Press
The complacency of the Trades Hall was tudely shocked on Thursday night, the 20th. inst., when the Left-wing ascendancy was made clear in an overwhelming vote in support of the Spanish Government and of the Spanish Relief Committee. Subsequently Trades Hall officials attempted to save their face by telling the Press that Labour's support of the Spanish Government had no political significance. This was very properly answered by a letter in the "Daily News" from a gentleman who is somewhat of a leader of the Left Wing in the Labour ranks, to the effect that if the motion of the Metropolitan Labour Council was not a gesture of political identification with the Spanish Government, then it was In this matter the militant Red minority sees clearer nothing. than the orthodox Trade L".nion officials, and why not? Are they not the instigators of such motions and the organisers of mass voting at the Trades Hall meetings? •
It is time that Labour woke up—if indeed it be not too late. The existence of a small body of extremists was never previously the cause of much worry, but the militant Red minority now within the ranks means, the beginning of the end of the Party unless immediate and stringent steps are taken to assure that the pledge . made on entering the party (which specifically excludes the Communist Party) is something more than a formality. Nobody would be so rash as to accuse Labour leaders of deliberate connivance at the Red penetration, but sharp and denunciatory things could be said about their lack of vigilance. It must be plainly confessed the Labour has been duped by Communist guile. The most teemendous piece of Communist propaganda—concerning the Spanish War—found a too willing ear in the ranks of Labour. Elsewhere the ranks of the workers had been seduced into the Popular Front. Here they were stampeded into premature and futile resolutions in favour of the Spanish Government and into a series of silly catcalls against Fascism. • This has been the supreme culmination of Communist propaAnd ganda—the identification of Communism with democracy. been Labour of file and rank the and leaders not only have the hoodwinked. but also the Press. This has no reference, of course, to the organised conspiracy of slander and calumny in the cable news, but to local reports of local affairs. For instance, the "Sunday Times," discussing Labour's latest faux-pas. was merely con-erned with the possible consequences of -butting-in." This polies- fhey regard as being as foolish as a passer-by interfering in a quarrel between a man and his wife. In another context such a. v iew might be bluff commonsense. but it is obvious that the quesion 44 interference depends both on the nature and the gravity of the quarrel. If. for exaMple. the quarrel is between a policeman and a sneak -thief. none would consider the championship of the taw-as•"butting-in." or undue interference. Even in the case of the dotnestic squabble. if the man was attempting to chop his wife down with an axe, there might be ample reason for intervention. We have no quarrel with the "Sunday Times" on its conclusions. But it is a classic instance of reaching the right conclusion ‘47ith the wrong argument. No flight of imagination can construe the Spanish War as a domestic tantrum between spouses formerly living in conjugal bliss. It is much more like the case of the poi(*emati and the thief, inasmuch as it is radically a struggle of Law Nor does it touch the heart of the matter for aseainst Anarchy. the "Sunday Times" interprets the recent Labour motion as "dicWhile this is doubtlessly tated by high humanitarian motives." who lent their support to people . uninformed but good y true of ma; the motion. it is not the better half of the truth.

. Catholic Women's League
The Catholic Women s League was inaugurated in the Archdiocese of Perth towards the end of last year in anticipation of the visit of the Countess Christine de Hemptinne's visit. Unfortunately t he Countess. after a very tiring and exacting programme in the Eastern States, was unable to undertake the organisation of Perth's Catholic women. So the League was more or less in abeyance until last Tuesday night. when Father W. Ryan. S.J.. at the request of His Grace the Archbishop. gave it a fresh impetus and outlined The organisation of Catholic its organisation and methods.

As far back as Apostolic times a devoted band of women followed in the footsteps of Christ. and after His death. continued to minister to the Apostles.

It small beginnings in Belgium it has spread all over the world. now bands together 2,0 0 0.0 0 0 young women organised in 27 leagues of 1 7 countries of Europe and America. The aim of all sections of the Catholic Women's League is to prepare and form its members for Catholic Action, to restore all things in Christ, to influence by a specially trained corps those among whom they live and work. There is much to be done in these times when false standards of life and a sub -human economic and social condition have greatly degraded the dignity of Christian womanhood. With courage, fidelity and perseverance, however, the Catholic women of the West will be second to none in the great crusade of Catholic Action.
Catholic Dilemma about the League of Nations It was reported in the •'West Australian- on Wednesday that General Franco had protested to the League of Nations against the presence of a delegate of Red Spain. Sad as the reflection is. the protest is analagous to objecting to plums in a plum pie. For Moscow is well advanced in her attempt to capture the League. Only a f ew months after the Soviet's admission to the League. Litvinoff was, made president of the Council and Moses Rosenberg, Soviet A mbassador to the Spanish Government and soul-mate of Caballero. was elected assistant under-secretary. It was not long moreover, before the Commission of Hygiene. the Commission for the Protection of Children, and the unemployment section. of the International Labour Bureau were under Soviet control. Quite recently the section for general information about Russia was wrested from Swiss control and is now directed by Comrade Markus, whose information is based on data received from the chief official in Moscow of the Five Year Plan. a Hence Catholics are faced with the bitter dilemma that the League can no longer be considered as serving humanity, but actually assists in Bolshevist propaganda and in complicating international problems This in such a way that a peaceful solution is almost impossible. at world The trouble. Abyssinian the in was accentuated dilemma large became aware that something was radically wrong when the League adopted tactics that can only be termed shifty and dishonest. The Catholic world had to choose between supporting a League which was known to be controlled by Freemasons and Communists bent on the overthrow of a great Catholic nation or jettisoning what was popularly believed to be the one hope of world peace through condoning what was considered an outstanding unjust war. The immediate problem is this: if we desert the League. there will be a return to international anarchy. Hence it seems we should continue to support the League while working for an urgent reform within it. This can only satisfactorily be brought about by purging it of Bolshevist elements, which are contrary in every way to the spirit of justice and of peace. 0-0. 4110-41140-4,410-4140-41140.00-00.....411410-404

Italy. and Palestine. In Germany, Dr. Toal said, the new national spirit was strongly in evidence and there appeared to be general support for Herr Hitler, but he was told by leading ecclesiastics there that the spiritual persecution that was taking place would eventually be the downfall of Herr Hitler, as it had been of Bismarck. "Herr Hitler," said Dr. Teal. "has most definitely infringed the Concordat concluded some years ago between the Vatican and Germany. All denominational schools have been forced to close, but the effect of this, because of its injustice, will probably he the reverse of that intended." The persecution of Jews. continued Dr. Toal, seemed mostly confined to those who had immigrated from Russia and Poland, and he had heard of a number who were living peacefully although .they were debarred from entering professions and occupying important posts. Apart from this criticism. Herr Hitler's influence had been very beneficial to Germany and his foreign policy was considered to be good. On the whole the people appeared to be well contented.

Toodyay
St. Columba's, South Perth
The beauties of green and rolling Toodyay have been attracting many visitors during the last few days. The abundance of rain, as also that of mushrooms, have not failed to be of benefit to the place. Among the several visitors in our church last Sunday we noticed Mr. and Mrs. P. Dolan, of Nedlands, who were guests at the popular Key Farm. A euchre and dance held last Saturday proved to be the most successful for this season. The organisers, Miss Wood, Mrs. Smith and Miss B. Hassell, have reason to be proud of their efforts, and we thank them and their able assistants, Messrs. Proud, Donnegan and Taylor. Our next euchre is on June 16. The prize packet has been successfully launched, and we hope to publish the names of the winners each week from now on.
"A Night in June." This coming Wednesday, June 2, the Pagoda, Como, will be a colourful scene, when vistas from all nations will startle one from the walls and pillars of this octagonal hall. Many who have been to our Night in June Dance in the past say that the decorations are worth the money. A unique setting will await you—there on the sands of Lake Como arises the Pagoda, reawakened after a year's rest, to the lights and sounds of gaiety, for the brightest dance of the season comes this year on Wednesday, June 2—this coming Wednesday. On last Wednesday, Mrs, T. D. Murphy gathered around her hospitable hearth many old friends to play bridge as a curtain raiser to the dance. And they all came because one and all realises that every bridge party in the city has been patronised by the host and hostess of the evening, and if for no other reason, they all owed an ub ligation to come to Mrs. Murphy's home last Wednesday. It was a happy party. Even those serious bridge tours relaxed occasionally at the sight of gigantic Buddy cocking his nose around the door, looking amazed at such a gathering. The supper for the Pagoda eat ex. ceed all previous dances, for Mrs. E. M. Hunt has canvassed the cream of the parish organisers. Yes, sine ,supper and plenty of it, and all of it good! Miss Kay Kinane is decorator in chief; Mr. M. McLernon is our spot-light: Mr. Bob Hannah is our w ind break and rain maker; Mr, Joe Dominish will pull ,that box like old Man River until he is dead ,and the floor shimmers. South Perth's "younger set" will be all younger and less set that evening. The hall lends itself to cabaret the centre floor for dimeing, and the sides for tables and supper. Book your table early by ringing Miss K. Kinane (South Perth 264). or Mrs. T. I). Murphy (South Perth 432). Book early, for the booking grows busier each day. No charge for booking. Doreen D'Arry is coming "in per son," and if the lights fail this year she will keep going. There are no in vita tions to the dance: you Inas- buy tickets or pay at the door. Plenty of parking room.

Albany St. Joseph's Childrens' Coronation Ball. This ball was held in the Town Hall oh May 8, and was one of the most brilliant and successful balls for years; even the bad weather did not keep the children and their parents away. The hall itself was a pleasure to see, with coloured lights and flags, and the children, to the number of over 300, in their different coloured costumes, was a very pretty sight indeed. The ball opened up with a dance by all the children in fancy costumes: then they did the minuet, which was a credit to those who had arranged it. The grand march followed, led by the "Cossacks," in their bright costumes, with 14 other sets, and those in individual costumes. The judges (the Mayoress, Mrs. Dr. Hanrahan, Mrs. C. King, Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Shurer) had a very hard task in selecting the w inners. Their awards were:— Best Set.

Nothing is more misleading than the words "Tailored-to-Measure.' Mo-.. men think it is a definite assurance of the Best. . . . It should be—but--like many other things—it is not always true to label, as many have discovered to their sorrow. . . Genuine Tailored to Measure is Painstaking Tailoring—the work of Specialists—each an expert at one particular Branch. . . . The technique of Coat Making is quite different from the Fashioning of a pair of Trousers . . . only intensive "on-the-spot" organisation can give you genuine Tailored-to-measure at a reasonable price. We realised it 40 years ago—this is why we have our Workrooms on the spot—our Cutter ready to cut your suit before your very eyes . . . and you can examine the Construction .of each garment while it is being made . . But this is not all--Specialisation is wasted on inferior quality suitings, linings and trimmings—the suit will fit and look alright for a month or two—and then—just like a sack. . . Here is where The Adelaide Tailoring Co score—they are Australia's biggest buyers of materials— thousands of yards at a time—enough for their 12 branches. . . . Thus they can give you the highest quality for less than you'd pay elsewhere for a much lower grade—which--in effect means a genuine tailored-to measure, worth every penny of 6 guineas for £31716. . .

EUKIPIDES ,
(By JOHN V. LARKIN.) Attic Tragedy has been so important for the literature of the world, that it may be said, with truth, that it was the foundation of the drama of modern civilised nations. The epic and lyric elements of poetry united in Greek Tragedy to form a higher unity and it became the -ripest creation of ancient poetry." In little over a century of rapid development Greek Tragedy reached its full excellence in the masterpieces of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides; the last of whom. lw a series of brilliant innova•tion , was destined to break the A thenian traditions of tragedy to change the whole course of dramatic art. and to place the corner-stone in the structure of modern drama. According to tradition this man. Euripides, was born in the• y ear 480 B.C., on the island of Salamis ,on the day of the great naval victory over the Persians. He was the son of Mnesarchides. a man of aristocratic family, who is said to have been in reduced circumstances. It seems improbable, however, that this was the case, as Mnesarchides appears tc, have given his son a liberal education ; for Euripides was a pupil of the famous Prodicus—notorioils for the extravagant terms d emanded for his lessons—undet whom he studied the philosophers. especially Anaxagoras and Protagoras. In his youth, it seems. Euripides had desired to become a professional athlete and was, at the age of seventeen years, crowned in the Eleusinian and Thesean contests. Some authorities maintain that he was a candidate for t he )Iympic Games. but there is little and very conflicting evidence to support this claim. His next choice of a Career was painting, and some of his pictures were preserved for many ears at Meg-ara. But although Ile achieved success as an athlete and as a painter. he forsook both to %trite for the sis s s His Disposition Disliked in Athens. In dispositiim Euripides Wa'a melancholy, reserved and unHe took no 'part in -, ,ciable. but shut himself up with his hooks. and pursued his stu,!ie- in philosophy with the .itc t diligence and applica, t itm; for he despised. and desired e,cape. the virulence of the t urbulent ambitions and savage si.alries which raged unchecked !T1 the licentious democracy of But such a disposition A thens. always thoroughly this was ;t Ois'iked at Athens. and, as a consequence, Euripides' life in that c ity- was, to say the least of it. decidedly uncomfortable.

Destined to break the Athenian Traditions of Tragedy
Laid the Foundations of Modern Drama Euripides is said, by some writers, to have been twice married and to have been deserted by both his wives. Others, however. limit his matrimonial troubles to one wife. But whether he had one wife or two, there is no doubt that his married life was anything but happy. This is, perhaps, the reason of his reviling the sex in many of his tragedies. Yet he has, though a r eputed misogynist, portrayed w omen as fine as any in all literature. Beyond these facts very little .is known about his life, .except. that a few years before his death. he went to the court of Aschelaus. king of Macedon, where all Greek artists and poets of merit were welcome. Here Euripides seems to have lived in comparative happiness: free at last from a society whose restless ambitions. tierce rivalries and general scepticism had made his life in A thens so uncomfortable and finally intolerable. What it was that forced Euripi(Jes to quit Athens is not ex. activ known. But in all proba. bilitv it was something connected %% ith his prosecution for impiety—the charge on which Socrates suffered death a few years later. There is but one fragmentary sentence in an old "Life of Euripides" which has bearing on his departure from A thens: "He had to leave Athens because of the malicious exultation over him of nearly all the city." Little more is known, so the reason of his departure remains a matter of conjecture. Death. In the winter of 007-406) Euripides lied at Thrace. near Amphipolis. at the age of seventyfour, after a literary career of about fifty years. He is said to have died as the result of a mauting by savage dogs set upon him by jealous courtiers. Another account of his death has it that he was torn to pieces by women. perhaps in retaliation for his libels on their sex. This would appear possible when one remembers the end of Orpheus, or of his own Pentheus. The former is, however, the more widely credited version of his end. The Athenians paid all honour to the dead Euripides The State erected a cenotaph in his honour, and Sophocles is said to have made his chorus wear black and leave off their garlands in mourning for his Younger rival. The people desired to have En ripides buried at Athens, but this Archelaus Nvould not counten ;Ince. and he was buried at Petra. The epitaph of Euripides is variously credited to Thucydides and to Timotheus. another of his friends at the Macedonian court. s An Beans iq the monument of Euripides.

his career. That he won the first prize but five times in his career is, however, quite consistent with his great and growing popularity in his own day. For he had to compete, throughout his whole life, with Sophocles and other poets. And these men, r epresenting as they did, the tragedy of the type hallowed by a wonderful tradition. were. as was but natural, preferred before him. The judges crowning the works of that school rather than the brilliant experiments of an innovator. , But after his death his vogue increased, and though he has never been .the favourite of the critics, he has been the favourite dramatist of many of the world's poets. notably Virgil, Horace and Milton. Transitional Period of Drama. With Euripides the ancient drama terminated, and by him the foundations of modern drama were laid. And it is this median position. which. because of the difficulty of forming a just estimation of his works, has been the reason of so much of the unfair and harsh criticism meted out to him by his critics. He must not be judged wholly from a modern standpoint. nor, indeed, from the age which he closed. For he had not the full excellence of the school from which he began the departure. nor yet that of the school which arose on his foundations. We should, then. as is but reasonable. place ourselves, as nearly as, possible. on the line of separation on which he stood and try to see how he dealt with the perplexing forces of that transitional period. Euripides has been accused of degrading the ancient traditions of tragedy by introducing to the stage philosophy and oratory, by treating religion and the gods with scant respect and little reverence. and by making humble persons the subjects of his plays: for his characters are not cast in heroic mould. but act and talk like Athenian men and women of his time. His prologues are declared monotonous and clumsy; his choruses irrelevant and often merely rhetorical vehicles. But assuming all these defects, real or imagined, there is the stamp of intellectual greatness upon his work. And there must be very few people. indeed. who cannot appreciate to some degree the surpassing beauties of thought and expression found in hi, plays. The traditional glories of Attica and the legends which embody them, have formed the themes of many dramas: and of these the Ion. the Iphegenia in Tatiris, the Hippolytns and the
B acchae—the last in its own kind the most splendid work of Euripides we possess—are by far the finest and arc all of first rate beauty and excellence, the very flower, indeed, of the extant collection. Had these plays been lost the reputation of Euripides would most certainly have suffered and the modern estimate of his ability have been lowered. Surpisingly Modernistic. It is noteworthy that, after a lapse of nearly two thousand live hundred years. there is in the dramas of Euripides a surprising moderism. The Hippolytus, for instance. ,is quite in accordance with the so-called modern trend of thought; which only throws into closer relief the fact that, although time passes swiftly by, age succeeding age, human nature has remained unchanged and essentially the same as it was when Euripides wrote for • the Athenian theatre. And it says much ler the ability of the author Wu) succeeded in capturing not only the spirit of his age, but also the spirit of changeless human nature, with all its virtues and vices, its tangled emotions of love and hate; incorporating them in dramatic form and clothing them with language of delicate loveliness. Euripides is undoubtedly a master in handling the tender and the ssathetic, and in the "Alcestis- he gives of his best in his exquisite delineation of woman's devotion. Aristotle truly called him "the most tragic" of the poets. As a playwright also Euripides stands high; there is an excitement about his plots and a vividness in his situations, although they sometime,: vers.(' on the ridiculous, which is lacking in the plays of Aeschylus and Sophocles: he is in fact the most human of the three drams, tists. The religious solemnity, strong in Aeschylus, was modified bv a more humane grace in Sophocles. and still more so in Euripides. who became— through his Roman imitator, Seneca (3 B.C.-A.D. 651—the father of romantic drama in Europe. 11111111111111111111111111111111411111111111Htlit1111111111111411110

Now as he was passing along the road not far from either Tyre or Sarepta. a woman who had overheard much talk concerning Him hurried out of the house where her daughter lay struggling in the, throes of a furious

Whispers had come to him of how overjoyed they had been at Marguerite's marriage. How they had all met so casually at Cousin Martha's, who in turn had so casually dropped a remark which was as a spark to dry fuel. And in ten minutes' time, all that was left of Marguerite, after her reputation had been well bisected and flung around from mouth to mouth. was annihilated by Martha ponderously stirring her iced coffee, and already planning and scheming what she %'as going to do for her dear Augusta and Frank on such an occasion, let it not be too far off, she blissfully hoped, vhen the little Miss Parker would have to leave this world and bequeath

Q. What does our present Holy Father, Pope Pius Xl., say of the annual celebrations .of the sacred mysteries in the liturgy of the Church? A. In the Encyclical "(uas Primas" llth. Dec.. 1925) he says: "People are instructed in ALWAYS ASK YOUR GROCER FOR the truths of faith and brought up to appreciate the inner joys of religion far more effectually by the annual celebration of the sacred mysteries than by an official announcement of the teaching of the Church."

In a pastoral letter read in the toi Westminster Archdiocese Trinity Sunday. he declared: "All are not xvillingly too blind to see the battle raging between Christian civilisation and the worst form of paganism that ever darkened the earth." Obviously referring to the An glican Church party's recent visit to Madrid. he said: "While we wish success to any effort to recall the nation to religion, the invitation to join the British churches in a 'back to God' campaign chills the heart when som,! of its prominent promoters feed ancient prejudices against the martyred church on the falsehoods of Christ's ,declared enemies and even condone unbelief. Why help drag the Trojan horse of Communism into Britain. which desires not a gospel of hate. hut of goodwill and peace. Such methods defeat their professed purpose of Christianising fellow-countrymen."
