To lead life devoted entirely To the

compelled by her parents to marry

she persuaded, along with his brother,
to accept the christian faith, They

places to have a musical festival in her
honor on that date. At Paris, for eX-
ample, in the ancient church of saint
EustaChe, 1t is customary to have "v-

sung with organ, full orchestra, emf

although l was a member of one Of the smaller

from Harvard on our own grounds. Our best
end rush was aman whom 1 may call Smith.

great athletic abilities. 1t was impossible
to get him to train properly. but despite that

sure touchdown. just as he reached Harvard's
ten-yard line we saw that the quarter back had
succeeded in getting q grip on his jacket. and
on the tve-yard line Smith was downed and in
falling he dropped the ball. The quarter back
picked, it up and carried it well up into our ter

Then we discovered why Smith had failed
to make atouchdown. The laces Of his jacket.

quarter had succeeded in getting a grip on
them in such fashion that when he pulled
Smith was choked to a standstill. The game
closed without either side scoring.
