I feel sure that my memory is not at fault because I have always looked upon Edith Carow Roosevelt as the most gracious and distinguished woman who has presided over the White House in Washington during my 72 years.

Next to St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the "Little Flower" of the Infant Jesus who died in young, frail sanctity in 1897, no woman of modern times is more famed among Roman Catholics than another frail young Frenchwoman who died in 1879. All the vast majesty of St. Peter's at Rome was needed for the ceremonies which will make a saint of Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes this week...
