MANILA, June 9.—The Moham- medan household of the Sultan of Sulu has been rudely upset by the invasion of Qgcidtntal, non-Moslem ideas of love and marriage. Two adppted daughters of this Oriental potentate, who, despite the title sug- gesting musical comedy, holds court in Jolo as chief of Moro princes in the Philippines, already have left the parental roof because he objected to the men of their choice. and a third is to depart soon to become bride of a prince of the Kederated Malay States. Princess Tarhata, who spent five years at the University of Ilinols and is said to have been the first Moro girl to bob her hair, disagreed with the Sultan over her engagement to ed Daughters Upset , Choose Own Mates Datu Tahil, member of the provincial | board. She left home. Princess Emme, engaged Christian Filipmo, also became estranged from her adopted father and sought quarters outside the Sul-| tan’s residence. The Sultan is said to | have objected strongly to these two | matches because the prospective hus. | bands were unable to supply the dowrles customary before marriage. The third princess, Dayang-Dayans, is described as one of the strongest characters in the Sultan’s domain and is credited with having had a large share in the administration of his estates. She expects to leave to wed the Malay prince. however, and to live in Singapore. The Sultan has no children. The three princesses are his nieces. to a BIOGRAPHER OF SAINT TO ADDRESS ALUMNAE Rev. T.

Rey. Taylor was one of the fore most figures in bringing about the cannonization of St. Therese, which was celebrated on May 17. 1925, with impressive ceremomies. The cannon- ization of St. Therese established a record in that it was authorized only 28 years after her death. Seldom be- fore has the Catholic Church confer red such an honor less than 200 years after the death of the subject. Rev. Taylor, however, became in terested in the humanitarian work of St. Therese in 1902 and he worked unceasingly from then on, appealing to two Popes for the cannonization and finally serving on the congress of rights that approved the cannoniza- tion in 1925. The priest now carries St. Therese's own rosary and each time he visits a city he never fails to pass it around the sick in hospitals to comfort them, St. Therese's life v\;}ork having been the comforting of the Taylor is visiting Mr. and ohn.
