SELF in the Bands projected celebration

stltution; every member sacrifices his

lending aid and presence to the coming
Big Celebration.

across the unswept floor, we heard at
first q gentle tapping, tapping, then
it became an earnest rapping, rapping
at our sanctum door. ''Come in" We

seldom treated in this manner we felt
inclined to sing Hosannah. Only this

gathered the good Sisters aud their
pupils, with a few invited guests-a
fairer audience never greeted wander

please with greater favor. The pupils
responded to the bands selections,
| from time to time, with song and in
strument, and thus the evening passed.
After the tympanic feast, the visitors
were taken into the refectory where
This concluded the proceedings-ex-
