W. gli disse che il womenall andò in chiesa e mandò i loro figli al cate-chismo, ma gli uomini sono indifferenti, se non ostili, e una volta che i ragazzi hanno fatto la loro prima comunione theynever mettere il piede in una chiesa. Che cosa manterrà il themstraight e renderà i buoni uomini di loro, se crescono senza alcuna educazione religiosa? La risposta era diffi-cult - esempio e insegnamento domestico, quando lo ottengono.

Italian letters of a diplomat's wife, January-May 1880, February-April, 1904 . o much for the sick and poor.
