MOTHER AND HER
FOUR CHILDREN
PERISH IN FIRE

New York, Nov. "a fire in an East
Side five-story tenement house in Madi-
som street early last night suffocsted a
woman and her four children. The family
named Ginspan. occupied apartments on
an upper floor and their escape was cut
off by the smoke and flames in the lower
portion OF the building.
More than so women were taken down
the IRE escapes by fremen. When the
tremen arrived on the scene almost
eN cry window Of tho building was crowd
ed with women AMI children calling for
assistance.
Tho fire In the lower floors had illed
the halls with smoke and cut off the
means of escape. The frightened tenants
we're taken down fire escapes and ladders
by the firomen, who then searched the
halls and upper apartments.
On the stairs OF the third floor they
found the bodies OF three children, where
they had been overcome. In one OF the
fats on that floor they also found the
body OF the woman and one child.
Had Il not been for the alertness OF
the hremen the hro would surely have
oQualled in horror the Aleen street fire
OF about year ago when, under SIM
liar circumstances. 20 lives were lost.
Painters had been at work in the build
ing, which was occupied by large fam
lilies one OF the painters accidentally
knocked over can OF benzine and n
candle standing near by ignited the
fluid. The hall almost instantly became
mass Of flames and the smoke soon
penetrated TO the upper floors in dense
clouds
The screams OF women and children
who thronged the fire escapes could be
heard for great distance. 1t was with
extreme difficulty that the firemen saved
the terror-stricken tenants. many OF
whom refused 10 be carried down the
ladders and fought their rescuers
Firemen cropping their way through
the smoke found several children un-
conscious in halls or rooms. All OF
these children were carried 20 safety.
When Informed OF the death of his
wife and children, Ginspan became al
most crazy from grief. He came to
this country from Russia only two years
ago. having been obliged TO fee for
writing revolutionary newspaper arti-
Cles.

THE HOLY GRAIL
DISCUSSED BY
MISS M0R0NEY

The Catholic Womans club held a
members night" last evening in La
Sale hall. the guests including Rt Rev.
Bishop Harkins, Rev. FIR. Bayhotte and
Rev. Austin Dowling.
Many prominent clubwomen were also
present among them being Mrs. John +.

b. NJ. Tree, Mrs. T. Maroney and Miss
Lucy Garlin.
Mrs. Bernard McCabe. president OF the
club. presided, and introduced Miss NJ.
Josephine Moroney, whose topic was THE
Legend OF the Holy Grail"
Miss Moroney said that she would only
deal with the story as told by Wagner
and Tennyson. Tracing Parsfal's fortune
as told by Wagner or the beautiful leg
ends in King Arthur's Round Table, Miss
Moroney heightened the interest I'm her
topic as she recited with marked effect
selections from the poems.
The story Of the Holy Grail. sh said,
has long dominated the literature OF many
lands. but the most romantic version is
that OF Tennyson I'm his Round Table"
and the most spiritual tx Wagner's Par
sifal." The story Is generally conceded To
be OF Celtic origin. The story I'm the re-
naissance period was lost 10 the world.
only 10 be brought 10 IRE with renewed
power through Tennyson.
AS IL was handed down through the
years IL was enriched and the romantic
Celt gave TO IL coloring and religious
sentiment known only TO these people.
while even the magic hand OF Tennyson
unconsciously treated II from a Catholic
standpoint.
Miss Moroney alluded briefly TO other
versions OF the Holy Grail. the German
through Wolfram Won Eschenback, the
French through de Traves and the Eng
lish through Mallory.
Abbey's beautiful pictures with their
wonderful colorings were graphically de-
scribed by Miss Moroney, who closed by
declaring that a vision OF the grail may
come TO each one according 10 his need
and according as he seeks with true hu-
mility.
Bishop Harkins in the name of the cler-
gymen and himself expressed thanks for
the beautiful lesson given, excellent in Its
portrayal and showing great skill in the
selection OF material. The bishop further
expressed his interest and pride in mem
bers' nights" declaring that 10 him they
were the very best OF all nights"

NOTES ON THE FASHIONS.
Black Silk Gloves for Day and Those
Matching the Gown the Proper
Caper for Evening.

The fashionable woman now wears
black glace kid gloves with all her
gowns in the day time, but for even
ing she wears gloves that exactly
match her dress. The only exception
to this is the white glove or flesh color,
both of which are worn great deal
in the evening.
Glove trimmings are very important
this season, for they are so pretty and
so unusual. A great many of the
gloves are hand embroidered, and these
hand embroidered gloves, in silk or
isle, are very much the mode. And,
Of course, with all gloves there are
bracelets worn. The bracelet is a
thing that is taken for granted.
The wearing of bracelets of different
design is one of the summer ideas,
and as it is rot an expensive fashion,
the woman who is trying to dress pref
tily can take it up. For moderate
sum she can get beautiful bracelet
Of ANTIQUE design which will be in
good taste and suitable for wear with
any gown.
Il nS WOdl luS5 VI dhbAduS JS"OAo 10 OAAS
Of the summer fashions, and antique
bracelets, dinner rings ana gartlets
are worn.
The whole idea is that the costume
must match throughout, and that any
amount of ingenuity must be en-
ployed to secure this result. This is
the fashion, not only in this country,
but in London.
The new materials of summer show
tendency toward the tiny figure, and
there are very many that are sprigged
and lowered and daintily designed in
floral pattern. Brooklyn Eagle.

THE FIRST COMPASS.
Was Known to Sailors Before the
Twelfth Century-Indispensable
Adjunct to Navigation.

SomesAsian people, perhaps the Chi
nese, discovered, many centuries ago,
that a kind of iron ore possessed a very
peculiar quality We call this ore
magnetic ore, in more common lam
guage, lodestone, and It is very widely
distributed, especially in the older
crystalline rocks. It was found that
II bit of lodestone were placed in
water upon a piece of cork or straw
braid It would turn till the axis of the
stone assumed north and south posi-
ton. A phenomenon of magnetism had
been discovered by means of an ore
that is peculiarly susceptible to mag
netic influence
1t is an open question whether the
Chinese utilized the directive power Of
the lodestone, but 1t is certain that the
FIRST rude compass was not used on
European vessels before the twelfth
century of our era. BY. that time the
true magnetic compass had been
evolved through the discovery that II
an iron or steel needle were stroked
on lodestone It would receive the at
tractive and directive power of this
ore. With this wonderful appliance
placed at the service of navigation, the
vessels that had Rugged the coasts soon
dared to venture even out Of sight of
land. A new impetus was gradually
given to cartography, for now the true
directions of the coast lines might be
charted with some approach to accu-
racy. 1t was the hapy fortune of Ital-
ian sailors to make the surprisingly ex-
cellent surveys of the directions and
lengths of the Black sea and Mediter-
ranean coasts and along the Atlantic
to British waters that have come down
to us in the so-called Portulan maps
