AN EASTER LOVE TEST.

stow France Keeps Henri de aIoHt-
morency's Memory Green.
In Cires-les- Meilo. n small town of
the department of Disc, in France,
they have u strange method of testing
fate on Easter Monday.
TO understand the custom it is neces.
sary to glance at an incident III French
history. When the constable Henri de
Aiontinorency, owner of the chauteau
at N1ello, was SO pursued by the hatred
of Cardinal Richelieu that he was at
last beheaded for the crime of high
treason at Toulouse his wife had a lit
tie Chapel built in the park of the
chateau and begged the cardinal to
permit her TO place the remains of her
husband in it.
Richelieu and Louis Nil. denied her
prayer, and she retired in sorrow to q
convent, where she had a sumptuous
chapel built, in which now stand
statues In marble Of her and her hus-
band.
But the little chapel of Cires les Mel
10. though empty, became the center Of
tie pilgrimage of lovers on account of
the affection which had prompted IT'S
erection. 1t is 10 this modest place of
worship that youths and maidens re-
sort from miles away on Easter Mon,
day to learn their fate
The mode of divination is most curl
GUS. Tie entrance to the chapel is pro-
tected by grill work through which it
Is easy to pass Your. hand. The young
man or woman who wishes to learn
whether the chosen one will wed him
or her during the ensuing year takes
sou' in hand and, putting the arm
through the grill, tries 10 cast the sou
OH the altar.
If the sou falls on the altar and STAYS
there, it is thought certain that the
saint will intercede for the lover ami
bring him or her the happiness of mar
riase within the gear. if, however, tile
coin should not fall on the altar or
should roll off, adieu for long time TO
all hope of marriage
The sous of fortunate and unfortu-
nate alike are gathered by the priest
afterward and devoted to the purchase
OF masses for the unhappy Boston
