...evening of October 16, the treaty was signed while church bells rang and a crowd clamored outside the town hall. It was brought to the window, lighted like an ikon. Mussolini took a special train from Rome to Milan, drove a racing car from Milan to Stresa, a speedboat from Stresa to Locarno. Briand, always in bed by nine if possible, was asleep two hours after the signing. But he was stirred: "It is ended," he said later, "that long war between us.

S., oldest is the Society of St. John the Evangelist.* Members of this order are commonly called the Cowley Fathers, after the village near Oxford, England, where the order was founded in 1865-and where Viscount Nuffield first made his Morris Cowley and Morris Oxford cars.

Latest innovation at St. Mary's: the use of a vimpa, a scarf...
...leave St. Mary the Virgin, presumably taking the vimpa with them. In Boston next week Father Williams is to be an attending presbyter at the consecration of his predecessor, Bishop-elect Burton. At this service no vimpas will be used: the consecrator will be the Presiding Bishop of the Church, Henry' St. George Tucker, who has never worn a cope, much less a mitre...
