CONVENT GIRLS IN REVOLT
Young Women Resent Anti-Corset
Ukase by Parade in Which

BuchareSt.-AmuSing consequences
have already resulted from the dras-
tic order issued by the minister of edu-
cation forbidding the wearing of
corsets by young ladies in Roumanian
private schools. The other morning a
gaudily decorated cart drew up outside

When the pinks and syringas once

him, and feeling IN the hearts of
many that God had entered the temple
with the bridal pair.
Words were weak fifty to describe
such an event and even less so the
moods of all participants. 1t was
meeting of the rills of joy and sor-
row, ever flowing alike from all human
hearts, as well as union of two finite
beings, and those with gray hair were
left to mourn. To Angie it was a
sacred and solemn step much akin to
the thought of Christ on the cross.
and only by Superhuman effort did she
restrain her tears until the seclusion of
Aunt Comforts was reached again.
Love to her meant utter self-abnega-
ton and marriage a pledge to live for,
and if need be, to die for another.
And when the dear old home enclosed
her once more, emotion conquered all
resolution.
Eye mustn't take on So" Aunt Com
fort whispered brokenly. when she
clasped Angie for the final parting,
it'll break my heart when we're gone.
Ye've been great blessin' to me al,
these years, n l. want to see We start
off happy. It's nat'ral ye should, n
when | can't see yer face no more, I

Over that hallowed journey to and
through the wilderness where the
streams wound between fir-clad banks.
the waves rippled upon the shores of
sparkling lakes, the spruce trees PLAYED
hide and seek in the campfire light,
and the song-birds woke them to say,
Thank God for this doubly blessed
existence" veil shall be drawn.
Neither need question be raised as
to how she met and cared for that poor
old hermit, or how, at sight of her
sweet face once more, old Cy felt as ii
an angel had entered the forest.
But of those left waiting in Green
vale, good old Aunt Comfort deserves
the last word and shall have it.
For her the sun of life had almost
set; her heart had rolled away in the
carriage with the child she had reared.
and she had naught left except memory
and that faded blouse and cap in the
attic chamber. Desolation and heart
hunger were her portion; tears fol-
lowed the wrinkles in her kindly face
and her gray head was bent low in sor-
row.
When life seems most joyous to us,
we think not, but when our eyes are
closing and memory fading, it is
mothers face that 'hovers over us az
last.

ing head of the match became de-
tached from the stick and alighted in
her hair. Part of her hair was de-
stroyed and a portion of her scalp
painfully burned. Presence of mind on
her part saved her life, for she seized

head. smothering the fire.
