POETRY OF MATRIMONY.
Connubfal Bliss Discussed From {
EremcIa Stand Point.

Her constant aim is to be interesting
to her husband. She multiplies herself.
In turn she is his friend, his c%onfidante,
his partner in business, mis- chunl, and,

most refined sense, his mistres. h is
forever changing her appearance. For
instance, you will seldom see g. French
married woman wear her hair in the
same way longer than three or four
weeks. She knows that when an man
loves his wife, a rose in. her hair, a new
frock. a bonnet differently trimmed, will
reviye in him the very emotion that he
feIt when he held her in his arms for the
first time. She also knows that the very
hest dishes may sometimes become i'm
sipid if always served with the same
sauce.

poetry of matrimony. / have heard men

O. B. L. NEWS.
Echoes # the Big Convention at
WoOdbvsdge.

ID re
1t was a matter of great pride to ex-
President James A. Row to see the way
in which his subordinate officers pre-
scented their reports. All the documents
were prepared very carefully and were
listened to very attentively by the dele
gates.
Comrade M. T. Mclaughlin of Father
Moran Council, Newark, was the wit of
the convention and never lost a chance
to display his abilities.
President John A. Lane, who was elect
ed by reclamation, will make one of
the best officers who has ever held the
chair. He is a hustler of u~ntiring ability,
and as a representative of Security
Council of this city is well known
throughout the State.
The increase in the membership of the
Legion, considering the recent hard
times was something wonderful. The
reports from individual Councils was
very gratifying and the delegates who
could only show small gains were in a
way disconnected when the other dele
gates gave their large returns. That
there will be a big hustle next year there
is no doubt, and when the next conven-
ticn is held the C. B. L. in New Jersey
will be several notches higher up.
The Campaign Committee, which was
organized last year, will be continued,
and an organizer will be appointed to
assist in furthering the work.
One of the most interesting bits of
information picked up at the convention
was Father Devine's condensed history
of woodbridge and Father Wards de-
s~cription of Catholic life in washington.
Both of the Rev. Fathers made q hit
by the witty way in which they handled
their subjects and were loudly a~pplauded.
The State Couneil's banner, which
adorned the sag but wt3gch could noI
be carried in the parade on account Of
The G. Z. L.. Fife and Drum Corps of
Woodbridge was one of the local won
ders for visiting delegates. When the
delegates from Jersey City. Newark, Pat
erson, Camden and Trenton found that
the Woodbridge c. b.. l.. had q hall of
their wonder was increased, and some of
the slow going delegates from the big
councils and big cities commenced to
wonder where they were at.
Father M of Newark and for
merly of this city. wis has been spiritual
favor of Father Deyine of Woodbridge,
who will oficiate in that capacity for the
next term.
Blshop McFaul of the Trenton diocese
is an active member OF the Legion.
Though there are a number Of the c1er-
" MEMBER Of the Legion, only three
priests were present, and they were dele-
gates from their respective Councils.
The next convention Will be at Orange.
