SOCIETY NOTES.
BY OUR SOCIETY EDITOR, MArRoN1TA.

Beauty is as each man sees it. The truth
Of this aphorism was clearly demonstrated when
a visitor from Chicago, sojourning in Covington,
advised the writer that a trip to our Abbey was
not worth while, as there was nothing out
there but an ugly house, and some of those long,
tall trees with scraggy branches at the top. -
Now, in striking contrast to the above, the
following has recently been written about our
forests primeval of waving pines that sway
their plumy branches to never-ending song:
They stand tall and straight, these giant
pines, pillars columns, like the sheafed spear
from which we get the old Ionic column. At
the top are Corinthian capitals of green and
these columns, lies great soft carpet, beauti-
full in its splendid grays and browns, cushiony,
sweet, silent, deep-piling, inviting. Dense I'M
dergrowth does not exist here. The aisles are
sweet and spacious. There is hush, too--the
calm of centuries In the Cathedral there
