PlNGPuNG AND BRIDGE PASSE
Woman's Chief Duty Now Is to Make
Herself Beautiful, Is the Dictum
of Fashion Papers
Special Gable to The Herald.


LONDON, Dec 23.-The Queen, the
leading English journal of fashion, has
the following to say:
Ping pong and bridge have had their
day and now the fashion of the hour is
TO be beautiful.
Good looks have become a necessity
rather than luxury. the rule rather
than the exception and because of this
n whole army of beauty doctors, COM
pleXion specialists and teachers of phys
ical culture have sprung UP to supply
what may he needed toward this
almost compulsory end.
THE woman of today must be beau
tiful. There is a legend to the effect
that she spends eighteen hours out of
the twenty-four in trying to accomplish
this much desired effect.
Her beauty sleep must, they say,
last for twelve hours with an hour in
the middle of the day for repose, and
another for health exercises; while her
swimming bath. her face massage, her
hair dresser, her manicure and dress
makers absorb the rest.
Her most valued friend, say the
Cynics, is her doctor; her chief amuse-
ment is her diet, she suffers to be
beautiful they say in jest, but in reality
she realizes that she is only beautiful
when she has suffered, because in suf-
fering alone she finds her soul"

THE HAGUE, Dec. 23.-Holland is
exercised about an heir, for the young
queen who was married few years ago,
when every prospect seemed to favor the
idea that the dynasty was secure, is
now beginning to despair of becoming
q mother There Is something pitiful
in the fact that this girl, who was so
bright and joyous, and who was called
'the child of the Dutch people" should
now have lost so much of her charm
and have grown into a woman with
all unmistakable expression of disap-
pointment.
The question as to the successor is
complicated by the fact that the i'm
mediate heir Is represented by the
grand duke of Saxe-Weimar, but by
the constitution of Germany 1t would
be impossible that he should hold the
crowns of Saxe-Welmar and Holland
but there Is no question that deeu
down in the heart of the Hollanders
there is a feeling that should the queen
have no direct successor it is possible
that there might be no more crowned

echoed on every hand at the time of

PASSl0NISTS' CHU,,CH NEAR
BELFAST HAS A GHOST
Rector Declares the Building Is
Haunted by Disembodied Spirit
Which Knocks and That He
Has Recognized It
Special Gable to The Herald.

BELFAST. Dec. 28.-An extraordi-
nary sensation has been caused In Bel
fast and district by the declaration
made by Father Hubert, the Roman
CATHOLIC rector OF the Passionists'
church at ArdoYne. that the monastery,
which stands close TO the church is
haunted.
The declaration was made by the
priest in Il recent sermon ON "Thc Souls
in PurgatorY.' ON retiring to rest n
few nights previously, he said, a knock
came To his bedroom door \ similar
knock was heard by another priest in
1t neighboring room, and both opened
their doors simultaneously.
Both saw the figure of PassioniSt
father pass along the corridor and dis
appear.
For several nights the ghostly Incl
dent was repeated, until at last Father
Hubert, in the presence of several other
Passionist fathers, called upon the APP
partition to speak.
The response came quickly. The
ghost. speaking to Father Hubert, said
he had not fulfilled Il promise made
when he Che apparition) was in the
flesh to pray for him certain number
of times on certain occasions.
The Ghost Recognized

ishcd congregation that he had made
such promise to "A Passionist father,
since dead, whose ghost the apparition
was recognized to be by himself and
two others of the fathers who had
seen it,
He had failed to keep the promise,
but since the extraordinary reminder
from the other world. prayers had been
said for the repose of the soul Of the
appartion. and to the great peace and
happiness of the community there, the
ghost had not appeared again in the
monastery,
IN another sermon on the same sub
ject Father Hubert said the fact that
holy priest had to suffer purgatorial
punishment should cause the people tc
exercise greater thought and regard for
their own dead friends and relatives,
who might also be in need of their
intcrcession and prayer.
Comes Many Times
So far from the apparition being
first. second nor even third visitant
from the other world that had beer
seen i'm the monastery at Ardoyne.
In fact" said the rector, there is
not u religious order such as the Pas
sionist community that has not records
in its annals of numbers of instances
where ghosts or appartions have ap-
peared under somewhat similar circum.
stances"
In conclusion. Father Hubert asserted
that he had himself met and inter
viewed at least two apparitions at Other
times, but these were not the ghosts o.
dead clergymen.
Since the sermons were preached
hundreds of persons profoundly infiu
enced by them. have been flocking t.
