recently came out 10 teach French in
the Academy Of St. Mary du Lac she
was a charming sister in her gestures
and manner and was anxious 10 learn
the English language. She asked one

the Lord prayer in English rms
American sister did so with great
deal OF relish and apparent sport. And

full language used in this country, she
went to the good old priest. Father
Soren. and told him in French that she
desired he should hear her say her
prayer in English. Grayely granting
her request. the amlable man listened
with sober face and gentle light in

acquired the language with great ease
and facility. But. pray tell me- who

We have kept a constant and almost
Jealous affection for diamonds of late
years: now emeralds and amethysts
are coming in for their share Of favor,
and the paler the amethyst the more
fashionable. Pink coral is blended
with diamonds in floral spray. and I'M
cut turQuoises are in keeping with
the enamels now so fashionable in
buttons and buckles. A good many OF
the necklaces. and indeed the neck
chains. are barbaric in splendor. Some
are wrought in rough gold and jewel
ed cnbochons: these are pretty In en-
eralds. pearls and coral.
Flexible chains. with uncut stones,
are the height OF the mode. The dog
collars OF pearls and diamonds are
now fashioned with greater care, so
that they follow the form of the
throat Emerald pendants are often
attached 10 diamond necklaces. and q
beautiful brooch representing bull
