Crowned Dominican
St. Josephs in Sullivan County, N. Y. is a bosky, 2,000-acre camp, one of the largest of its kind in the U. S., where 1,200 poor Roman Catholic boys and girls from the New York Archdiocese spend their summers, where Dominican nuns study and where Patrick Joseph Cardinal Hayes, well-beloved Archbishop of New York, takes his summer ease. George MacDonald, rich Catholic layman, papal marquis, and friend of the Cardinal, gave St. Josephs a $5.000 pavilion on Lake St. Dominic. In that pavilion last week, Marquis MacDonald, Cardinal Hayes, three bishops, many a monsignor, priest and nun did honor to calm-faced Mother Polycarpa, 68. who has managed St. Josephs for 25 years as Mother Superior of the local Dominican community. It was the 50th anniversary of Mother Polycarpa's profession as a nun. So throughout the day, as Dominicans do on their jubilees, she wore what Dominicans call a "golden crown"--actually a wreath of gilt flowers, hers for keeps.
