A SERMON ON BEAUTY.
It's Skin Deepness One Of It's Best Quail
itieS

Its Skin Deepness One of Its Best DUAL
Beauty is only skin deep" What's
the sense in that saying? What good
would 1t do person to be beautiful
say, for an inch in depth? He wouldn't
know it unless he was skinned. More
over, beauty is not to be measured off
with pocket rule; it is an indefinite sort
of quality that needs new definition
each time it is found. "What is beauty?"
asked belle of her circle of admirers.
"What all women think they possess"
answered the cynic. "Ask your mirror"
said the Frenchman. Bnt the philoso-
pher replied: 1T is that which every
lover sees in his sweetheart whether she
possesses it or not" He was right. How
many times we have said, while passing
homely woman, What on earth did
Mr.. X--ever see in her. She's as
honely as a rail fence" Not to him,
though.
We know how it is ourselves. When
we we're young and susceptible we met a
girl whose appearance made us very sick.
She was short and we liked tall girls.
Her mouth was of the pie order, while
the rosebud variety had always taken
our fancy. Lastly, she had lisp that
sounded like an escape valve. Well, we
don't know how it happened, but we fell
in love with her, and all her imperfec-
lions Immediately vanished. We found
that the head had Just reached the right
place on our shoulder, so her height, or
"lowth," was all right. Then, her pastry
mouth enabled us to kiss without knock
ing noses. That's one awful bother with
strawberry lips. As for the lisp, we
thought it was one of the cutest things
IN the world, and tried to cultivate it
ourself, but our employer asked If We
had been buying some new misfit teeth,
and we deslsted.
We don't believe that every one thinks
himself handsome, but we do believe
that every one wishes to be. Theophras-
tus says it is "a silent cheat" and Theo-
critus says it is "a serpent covered with
flowers" We don't recall the personal
appearance of the gentlemen, but we are
willing to wager large sum that their
pictures never graced photographers
showcase. Homely persons are always
saying that beauty is snare, just be-
cause they can't share any of it them
selves.
One popularity Of extremely beautiful
or handsome persons is that they are sell
dom noted for anything except their
looks. Who ever thinks Of beauty, Of
feature, or lack of it, in connection with
Washington or Lincoln? Ct don't care
to give examples OF the women). The
minds that guide the progress Of the |
world make their owners far superior TO
any physical charms. That's where We
come in. We couldn't be handsome Tor
anything.

resentative convention of the delegates
from the different branches OF the Irish

fore the convention was the selection OF

It is with deep regret we announce the
death, on May 7, of Rev. John O'Farrell,
at the residence of his nephew, Mr..
Charles O'Farrel], Caranagh, Ballintog-
her. The deceased Clergyman was born
at Newtownforbes on the 10Th of Decem-
Der, 1901. He had therefore far out
stripped the ordinary span of human
life, having reached his ninety-tirst year.
He was principally educated on the Con-
tinent, was ordained priest in 1926, and
spent the first year of his missionary
life in France. He afterwards returned
to his native diocese of Ardagh, where he
labored in the vineyard for many years,
until advancing age compelled him to
retire from the active discharge of mis-
sionary duties. Since then he had lived
with his nephew. He was greatly be-
loved by the people of the district. who
reverenced his age, his sacred calling,
and his holiness. On Sunday evening,
May 8, his remains we're convened to the
parish church, where vast concourse OF
his former parishioners assembled to pay
their last respects. On Monday morn
ing High Mass de Requiem was cole
brated, after which the remains we're
conveyed to Dromahaire Abbey, where
they now lie side by side with the dust
of many of Father O'Farrelps brother
priests of Ardagh diocese.

that no money be used other than for
legitimate purposes. Some time ago a
series of thirteen questions were semitic
