MISSIONARY
LIFE IN TAHITI.

UP for two years In a Parislnn con.
vent. II 10 no wonder the trip seems a
terrible one TO these two inexperienced
creatures. Tho mother superior is help
less amid all these bewildering foreign
sounds. and, to make matters worse.
the young sister. despite her Partisan
training, speaks but little French. for
she is an Irish girl, so that conversa-
ton between the two is out Of the
question.
We have great deal of work to do
IN Tahiti" she says, but we are very
much hampered by lack of means. We
have to earn every penny ourselves.
There are IS sisters In the group and
more to come, while in the country dis
,ricts they are always asking for us.
hut we cannot go. as there is no priest
We cannot. you see. send a sister to
any place where there is no priest. She
would never be able to hear mass. And
then there must never be less than
three altogether; 1t would be too lonely
1T would be all right" she went on.
IF we had only Il piece of land; self
support would be easy. We could
grow vanilla and. cocoa and bananas
and lots of things. and vanilla. as you
know, Is now very profitable crop in
the islands. fetching 20 Mexican dollars
a kilo. As 1t is we have TO earn by TAX
Ing in washing and sewing, and then
we make all the artificial flowers for
the affairs sending to Paris for the ma
terials."
Why artificial flowers should be need
ed in such a garden paradise as Tahiti
the mother did not explain. Probably
It had never occurred to her to depart
from the accepted conventions OF
church decoration in favor of n freer
and more natural method.
I'VE have 800 scholars of all sorts,
whites. natives and half castles. and
we charge for teaching accomplish
ments, such as music, drawing. etc.
Thus we make n little for the people
like their children to be well educated.

Now she is as prosperous as she can
be, and she enjoys her work. This is
what she does. You who are giving
your small boy party need not bother
about how the children are to be en-
tertained. You drop her a line and
say: Dear Miss Playwell. my boy OF
10 years is to have birthday party on
next Thursday, and there will be 100
children to entertain. If you have moth
Ing else on hand, will you kindly man
age this for me?" Miss Playwell APP

In another way. She was educated in n

sew as do only those ladies' who have
been taught by the nuns. So when Miss

who. teaches that class of girls how to

she teaches them some other things for
which there is no accredited sum of
money paid. She makes them compre-

DID NOT UNDERSTAND DUTCH
Her Sweetness Appealed to the Pu-
pills But She Made Them Tired.

She was the substitute school teach
er Fate and finances decreed that on
one Friday not long ago she should go
to school in the Annex and instill ap-
propriate learning into the more or less
thick-headed members Of the highest
primary class.
When the substitute appeared in the
classroom ready to begin work, the bad
boys of the class audibly observed that
they were going to make a few hours of
her life noisily interesting.
Gracefully introducing herself to the
class, she announced that after the
reading of the Scriptures, recitations of
the days lesson would be in order,
adding that if the work was finished in
time she would read to them from a
pretty book
This promise pleased the scholars
greatly, and it was silently voted that
the substitute was a first class teacher.
There was hardly a sound made in the
room, save when boy recited his les
son. The scholars would sit quietly and
look admiringly at the fair young wom-
an who presided at the desk.
Her true beauty and genuine sweet
ness appealed to their young natures.
The longer they looked at her the more
beautiful she seemed to grow. The
breezes delighted in tearing her wavy
chestnut hair, and her fresh young
countenance gave evidence that she
was happy in having made such prog
reSS with her class.
Finally the recitations had proceeded
to successful conclusion, and the
teacher announced that she would give
them the treat she had in store. TAX
ing from her desk an elaborately bound
book, she said:
Boys, you have behaved like gentle
men, and I thank you sincerely for the
respect you have shown me- Now, 1
am going to read to you from this
book. 1t is called Beside the Bonnie
Brier Bush 1t was written by a good
man, and l know you will like it,
Then she began to read. She had not
finished three pages before the class
began to look as if that tired feeling
had become epidemic. 1t was evident
that Scotch dialect had not yet become
the fad in Woodberry. Still the fair
substitute continued to wade through
page after page of Ian MacLaren's s
choicest gems, Aud LIGHT Calvinism y
At last one of the boys arose and
said: Excuse me, Miss Bertha. but
the only boy in the class who can un-
derstand Dutch is home to-day, sick
with measles"
Fortunately, at that moment the
time for dismissal had come.-Balti-
