ST. PATRICK IN FRANCE.

To Irishmen the notoriety which Boni de Castel-
lane IS now enjoying in connection with his matri-
nonial difficulties may recall the fact that It is
the castelane place on the River Loire that is
situated the ancient church of ST. Patrick, which
for hundreds of years past has been at Christmas
time the bourne OF innumerable pgrimages on the
part Of pious Catholics from the Emerald Isle
The legend is that the patron saint OF Ireland
came teach the Gospel in Brittany and the
west OF France and found himself obliged TO
swim across the River Loire there other
means OF crossing the stream. He landed near
hawthorne bush. which he spread his mantle
10 dry. Since then the bush. which used only TO
flower in the summer. breaks out again in lavish
blossoms every Christmas. on the anniversary of
the saints coming, no matter what the condition
of the weather. Transplanted cuttings OF the bush
only out in flower in the normal season
Efforts have been made to explain this peculiar
ity Of the bush by the presence Of warm spring
passing near the roots But digging and research
have failed TO discover it. The bush blossomed
usual last Christmas and the ancient church of
St. Patrick close by visited as usual by a
number of pilgrims from Ireland. The estate be-
longs, OF course not to Boni de Castellane but to
his mother. the marquise. and the rector of St
Patrlck's Church is her chaplain. 1t is indeed IN
that church of St. Patrick that Boni made his
premiere communion

NEW PLAY AT MADISON SQUARE.
THE Title Mart. "

A comedy called "The Title Mart" by Mr..
Winston Churchill. presented last night at the
Madison Square Theatre. The purpose of this play
is TO depict and satirize the social Vaccinations
of a wealthy American woman who wishes to
marry her stepdaughter to Engshman with a
title of nobility. The daughter revots against that
mercenary and snobbish scheme of matchmaking.
and prefers to choose for herself: and. in doing,
she chooses well. and happens to choose a lord.
The theme Is trite. but Mr. Churchill has presented
it in neatly devised scenes and has embellished it
with sprightly dialogue-not always free from
coarse suggestion The scenery is handsome, and
in act second uncommonly well painted. The act
ing rightly he described as evenly respectable
Miss Ffolliott Paget very old stager, and very
obviously emerged on this occasion and was con-
spicuous in her mature glory. Mr. Sam Edwards

whelmed with refinement. The success, if such it
be. is that Of esteem.
