SitiOnS of note
There are no Americans in the Or.
der of La Trappe. Many have made
the experiment of entering, but none
have persevered up to the final cou.
secration of the white cowl. No one
is admitted, even to the preliminary
training, without being made fully
acquainted with the sacrifices he must
undergo.

The monk at work with another uses

taught him on entering the order.
Should he accidentally wound a fellow

Every precaution is taken against
creating the smallest possible noise.
If a brother obtains permission to
read a religious book, he must turn
the leaves without making the slight

brother drop fork or spoon, he i'm

When a brother IS in his last illness.
he expresses no interest in the PROB
ability of his recovery. He knows
however, that all hope has been aban-
doned when he sees ashes strewn on
the floor, near his couch, in the form
of the cross, a thin layer ne straw
placed over it, where he will shortly
be laid to breathe his last. 1t is COM

digs his own grave. This is not so.

| habited by number Of eaSy-gOing
| Benedictines. These he reformed anG
gradually established the rules and
! regulations which today govern all
the mOnaSteries of the order. 1t Is
said that, so piOus were the brothers
after the de Rance regime, thai one
of them went for so many years with
his eyes fixed upon the ground, that
at last when he raised them, he did
not recognize a new addition to the
abbey, which had been built.
In the latter part of the last century,
some few TrappiSts came to this coun-
! try, settling in Pennsylvania. They
! had no fixed monastery, wandering
to many places and always moving
westward, in the hope of Chrlstianiz-
! ing the Indians. They got into Mis-
souri, and western Illinois, but the
hardships they had to endure made
the mortality so great that by 1913
only a few were left. These were re-
called to France. In 1913 another
party came to this country and estab-
lished the Kentucky monastery, called
Tic dOD6y VI NeluSSLl1iC.
The domain of this abbey comprises
some LOO acres, and the new abbey
to be established on Long island viii
be conducted the same as the one in
Kentucky. The architecture of the
Gethsemane abbey is StudiOuSly plain
and austere. 1t is a great quadrangle
lar pile of brick, three stories in
height. There is d large inner court
within the quadrangle, prettily laid
out. One side of it consists of two
chapels, the one appropriated to the
ordinary services of the church, and
entered from without the abbey wall
by the general public; the other con-
secra ted to the Offices of the Trappist
order and entered only from within
the wall, as the members rarely go
outside, and then only by permission
of the superior.
The chapels CT tn TrapIists are
never beautiful to look upon. The
vestments are plain, the altar decora
tons crude, even the figures of the
crucifXion scene being invariably of
wood and carved and painted by the
monks inhabiting the place. One
feature of the Trappist monastery is
deeply impressive to the casual be-
holder. 1t is the little graveyard al
ways to be found near the chapel,
where the brothers who have passed
away are laid in the last sleep, with
out shroud or coffin. Above each
grave is a plain wooden cruciix, bear
ing the religious name Of the dead
monk. No hint is given of his worldly
identity. A Trappfst is supposed to
have forgotten the world and by the
world been forgotten. If a near and
dear relative dies, the brother is not
told Of it. Nothing which ranspires
outside the monastery walls is sup
posed to have any interest for him,
and nothing inside except his duties
and the care Of his soul.
In brief, the war Of the ordinary
priest is with the world: the Trap
pists' war is with himself His tene- !
ment Of flesh is his enemy, and he '

ORDER OF SILENCE
NEW MONASTERY OF LA TRAPPE
TO BE ESTABLISHED.
SITUATED ON LONG ISLAND
Peculiar Life Of Members of the
Austere Brotherhood-Two Other
Branches of the Order in This
Country, One in Kentucky, the
Other in Iowa.

Another monastery Of the Trappist
brotherhood is about To be established
in this country. 1t will be situated
on the eastward end OF Long Island in
an uninviting part OF the country, and
will be the third OF its kind IN the
United States. OF the others, one is
situated in Kentucky, sixty miles
from Louisville, and smaller branch
Of the brotherhood is located near
dubuque, la. Work on the Long
island monastery will be begun
shortly. 1t is esta bliShed for the bene-
fit OF those in the eastern states, who
may wish for spiritual retreat of the
peculiar kind offered by the silent
brotherhood.
Silent is the one word fitting this
most wonderful brotherhood of men.
A visit to any of its monaSterieS in
any part of the world is made forever
memorable by the impressive stiffness
pervading all things. Silence is part
of the sacred creed of the Trappist.
Yet his life is busy one. Idleness
is not tolerated within the walls of
the monastery. Every brother has
his allotted task, and he performs it
all day long, without word or com
ment. If he wishes to say anything
he first obtains the consent of the su-
perior. There are two other occasions
! when he may utter a sound-when
confessing his sins and when singing
the offices of the church.
The order dates back to 1860. when
1t was founded, at La Trappe. France
by Armand Jean lie Bouthillier dc
Rance, French nobleman of fine
parentage and great estate For many
| years this man had been the leading
spirit OF the gayest set in France. He
loved to adorn himself in Jewels anC

! and enjoyed to the fullest the carna'
pleasures of life. Suddenly he de
serted all his gay companions, and be

THE NEW BODICE.

The majority of the new bodices
seem to have the opening under the
arm, with the fullness of the material
plated into the waist in front-a most
becoming fashion to a slender figure.
Another popular way of cutting the
waist lately is to have a very square
pouch-like effect in front, the folds
turned up an even line, and showing
a deep waistband. This style gives
a still more slender look to the hips;
in fact, everything is done to make
the bodice broad and fluffy as possible
and the hips and waist small. ANA
teur dressmakers will do we'll to re-
member these rules-shoulder sloping,
sleeves very wide and short, bodice
full and a great deal trimmed, waist
well defined and hips fitted perfectly
smooth. Whatever the design or cut
of a fashionable gown of the season.
these should be the characteristic

TOMATO PRESERVES.

Take the sound yellow variety as
soon as ripe; scald and peel; to seven

over night. Take the tomatoes out of
the sugar and boil the syrup, remov-
ing the scum; put in the tomatoes. and

the fruit in jars; put a few slices of
lemon in each jar, and pour the syrup
over them. These are very nice.
