Mrs. Golddecker waved aside the
maid, and, rising anxiously, looked ont
on upper Fifth avenue from the win
dow of her just completed nineteenth
century palace. She was wondering
whether his man, for whom she had
sent, possessed at last the one secret
that could make her happy. She paused
for moment, nerving herself inwardly
to encounter disappointment in case it
should come, and then, in full control
of herself, she prepared to descend.
Leaving her boudoir, with its 800, 900
bedstead. she passed the diamond and
sapphire inlaid bathroom, with its gold
faucets glittering in the electric light.

and brushing abstractedly against the

into the waiting room in the rear of the

The Irish Language.

1t sounds profane to ask whether
Our ancient tongue is worth preserving.
Yes, it is, even as Il spoken language,
and so well worth preserving that if
the effort be not made, and, with God s
blessing, made successfully, we should
be held accountable for casting from us
what is in the natural order, apart
from the national spirit. the noblest in
heritance of our race.
1t is the misfortune of many good
Irishmen to know nothing of the Irish
language, however anxious about it,
and. through an untoward history, it
is the way with many others to care
but little for its fate, because the in
vader has branded it as an inferior
tongue. But it never happened that
any one competent to form an opinion
who knew Irish did not esteem it as
noble vehicle of human thought and
feeling. Gael
