THEY DRESSED THE PICTURE.
How Some Nuns Hung a Worldly
Painting on Their Refectory.

An English woman who has just re-
turned from Palestine, brings home a
laughable account of the skill of some
of the eastern nuns in dressing up a
picture.
Hanging in the refectory of their
convent at Bethlehem was copy of
the well known painting of the late
empress of Austria, representing her
in full court dress. The picture had
decoration which the nuns explained
as follows:
Eyes, the shoulders. You see,
madam, when her majesty sent us
her portrait from Vienna after her
visit to Palestine and her stay in our
humble home, we were overwhelmed
with joy. Our first thought was to
hang it in our chapel. But then the
gay dress Then we decided to dec
crate our refectory with it, and so we
did, only we could not have con

ment, when happily our lady super
ior, who is very clever woman,
came to our rescue. She took a pair
of scissors and piece of white paper,
and cut out, as you see, well fitting

place by a few pins, so small indeed
that the holes they make in the can
