Here is a story about a woman who was
scintillating star in the social iirrna-
\ ment of Washington nearly twenty-five
| years ago. When scarcely more than
bride, with the world at ier ieet, she WAS
attacked with a long and terrible spell OF
| typhoid fever, that resulted in the loss OF
| her hair. During Ter convacscence she de-
| tcrmiDcd to go in seciusion until her JOCKS
should grow, and as her physicians ordered
mountala AIR, she %, taineu lLt l.iisIi.-,- -,
| spending the summer in a convent high
| ON a cliff overlooking one of the most
beauur full rivers in the world. During
her stay she was attended by lovely
Young nun, who had recently taken her
VOWS. This nun, who had been mountain
girl, utterly ignorant OF the value the
world attaches to such beauty as she
possessed, became devotedly attached TO
the society woman, and listened 10 ter

And the years went by.
Two months ago, a broken and desolate
woman, madam decided to make aCofher

quaint little hotel on the side or the
mountain. she learned tile story from the
dame who kept the inn. 1t was not
long story, but it was one that madam
will never forget.
The nun was very young and ignorant
and a rich lady had come to the convent
and so filled her heart with loungiDg
for the world that the Toor young thing
stole away from the mountains and set
out to find the lady in her distant home.
Without money and in ler habit OF grey
cloth and rosary there was but one thing
that could happen. She was picked up
on the road by a passing carriage and
brought back to the monastery gates.
She had not the courage, however, to
ring the bell SO she went to the lodge
keeper and sending Il message to the
superior and the sisters that they would
forgive her the scandal she had caused
them. the loor child went down to the
beautiful river and threw herself under

was performer by kev. A. Homnghaus OF

friends. MIR. and Mrs. Schmidt left for an
extensive Northern trip that will include
the Thousand Islands.
As many. .Washingtonians have remained
in town to entertain friends among the COM
ing Endenvorers, IT is likely that the city
will be socially gay during the convention,
despite the number and importance OF the
sessions planned. Already arrangements
have been made for informal trolley par
lies, bicycle spins and country drives, and
it Is likely that a number OF receptions will
be given IN honor Of the strangers, so that
each hostess may make her guests known
to her friends.

Easter COntrition.

Thou has arisen, Christ, but
Am uomb-enccmpassed still;
I cannot move my soul to feel
The resurrection thrill.
Vague and impossible to me
Thy miracle must be.
Thou hast arisen. Christ, but I.
Insensate, cannot stir:
No angel rolls the rock OF Doubt
That seals my sepulchre.
In my hard heart where faith has died
There is no Eastertide.
Thou has risen, Christ! All, Christ,
Bid me arise with thee!
Triumphant victor, break my tomb
And rescue even me!
Restore into my horoscope
The star of Casters hope!

In the Beauty OF the Lilies.
I'm the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea-"
IN the splendor of their whiteness,
In their sweet humility.
Lift your dropping heads in gladness,
Fairest of the flowers fair,
Let your snowy. cup-like censors
With rich fragrance fill the air.
In the beauty of the lilies
Christ lived stainless. undefiled.
Without murmur bore His burden,
Uncomplaining, was reviled.
When upon the cross they Knocked Him,
And the crown left cruel trace,
Through indignity and torture,
Undegraded shown that face.
In the beauty Of the lilies
Christ is rising from the grave,
Overcoming all its sharpness
That the world new life may have.
Ring, o Easter bells, your anthem,
Not in vain that blood did flow.
Christ is Riseni He will wash US.
Like the lilies, white as snow!
