Here's a quote from the piece about Selie Martin:-
"she had a tremendous enthusiasm for life and was a highly skilled lace
maker and an astute business woman; yet her sights were firmly set on
Heaven. She was a great letter writer, and her many letters give insight
into her character. She comes across as a vivacious and witty woman who
is not only deeply perceptive, but also critical of the society in which
she lived and, by her own admission, impatient."
Sounds like whe would have been an Arachne member, had she been around now!

just beginning to turn, and yesterday's storm is all forgotten.

Hello all,
In our yesterday's newspaper, was an article as follows.
Lisieux - The parents of a Catholic Saint were beatified in France
yesterday at a ceremoney attended by more than 10,000 believers. Louis
and Zelie Martin, parents of St. Therese of Lisieux, are said to have
miraculous powers to heal children. They are held up as "true models"
for modern-day families. Louis died in 1894 and Zelie, a lacemaker, died
in 1877.
Does anyone know more about this lacemaking saint?
