Margarethadbeenelectedpresident someeighteenmonthsbefore,and,althoughafewoftheoldermembersof theSodalityprotestedthatshewasfar tooyoungforthishonour,themajorityofvotesinherfavouratleast provedhertobeexceedinglypopular. Theelectionhadtheapprovalofthe FatherDirector,who,truthtotell,was ratneranxiousoverthewholematter.

Aboutfiftygirlsattendedthemeetingsasarule,theiragesrangingfrom fourteentoforty.Withsuchagreat differenceinagebetweensomeofthe members,itwasnotsurprisingthat therewereoccasionallylittleoutbursts ofdissensioninregardtohowtheaffairsoftheSodalityshouldbemanaged.

"It'sallrightonceayear,inMarch, whenSt.Joseph'sDaycomesround, but,really,onedoesgetrathertiredof it.Margaret,"protestedNellie."We shallhavesomeoftheoldergirlsmakingthatanothercauseforcomplaint soon-although,ofcourse,theywould neverbesatisfied-"

"Dear,dear!"interruptedMargaret, "constantattendanceatmeetingsdoss notseemtobemakingusmorecharitable!"

Nellieshruggedhershoulders,and Kathleentookuptheargument.They wereveryfondoftheirfriend,but theyweren'tgoingtolethermakeany mistakesiftheycouldhelpit."

"Youreallymustconsiderthese oldergirls,Margaret,"saidKathleen. "Oh,ifonlytheywouldstopathome aftercelebratingtheirthirtiethbirthdays,orgetmarried,whatalotless troubleweshouldhave."

"Andyet,"repliedMargaret,"you objecttomygettingthesepoor'old

"Ofcourse,youbothheard,when inyourcradles,thestoryofthegirl whoprayedtoSt.Joseph,askinghim tofindherahusband-"

"Youmean,"brokeinKathleen, "theonewhereshegotcrossafterreceivingnoanswertoherprayers,and threwthestatueofSt.Josephoutof thewindow-"

"ThatisjustwhatIamgoingto do,"declaredMargaret."Youhave gottheideathatsuchstoriesare fables.Well.perhapstheyare.But suchremarkablethingsdohappenat timestoprovethatSt.Josephhasnot yetretiredfromhisjoboffinding eligiblehusbands.
