DISCHARGED MAID
STEALS SOCIETY
WOMAN s TEETH
MARoUlsE HAD TO SEND WORD
TO WAITING GUESTS THAT SHE
WAS lLL-THE EPOCH AT
LoURDEs.
BY the Marquis de castellane.


PARIS, Aug. 12.-One OF the most
prominent society women has just ex-
perienced a misadventure which Is
worth telling.
/ shall call her the Marquise de I.
She was displeased with her maid and
gave her a weeks notice. The maid
did not complain and went on with
her work as usual until her time was
up. But when for this last time she
helped 10 dress her mistress she
pocketed the set Of false teeth which
her mistress had set aside for mo-
ment.
Now it happened that that very
evening the MarQuise de T. had invit-
ed party OF twenty-five persons to
dinner. She sought In vain for her
teeth, and as the time passed and she
could not find them she was obliged
to send message to her guests, al
ready gathered In her salon, and walt
ing patiently. saying she had suddenly
became SO iii that her presence with
was impossible.
The dismissed maid had a thorough
revenge, but l doubt IL she will easily
End another place.
Nobody In the Catholic world will
ever forget the marvellous epoch which
has for Its starting point the town of
Lourdes. The few who went there
first as modest pilgrims we're soon the
heroes and most hearkened to Of tho
inspirers of modern religion.
Ia n
fiftteth anniversary Of the famous ap-
partition OF the Virgin to little shep-
herdess named Bernadette. think
my readers will be interested in the
impression produced on the great mass
Of pilgrims who went there to affirm
their faith. / went to Lourdes my
self and this Is what I saw:
Our train steamed into the town at
seven in the morning. A long line OF
children, nuns and peasants waited
our arrival. In front they placed the
cripples, the deaf, dumb-all who had
incurable disease. The procession
started, with banners at its head, sing
ing in psalmody. 1t wound It's way
round the sides OF the hill on whose
top Is the church.
Girls, dressed In white, priests In
their surplices. passed and repassed
under the blue sky like charming
picture. The cripples made their way
along, helping and leaning on each
other. Some were carried on ntters
by people of high society. who acted
gratuitously as bearers. All these sur
ferers were thirsting to reach the altar
OF the Virgin. At the communion they
beat their breasts In their exaltation.
After mass l saw them come down
the hillside, their faces transformed
with Joy. Then they plunged into the
cool spring water Of the pool.
Suddenly I heard girl. till then
dumb, burst into cries. AS she had
never spoken she did not utter words;
her cries were like those OF an animal
The pilgrims ran toward her; every
body wanted to embrace her. Ths
Virgin had wrought her cure. She
was clothed again. and then the dr.
rector OF the pilgrimage wrote an Of
flcial account of the miracle. Then
the pilgrimage climbed the hillside
again to thank God for this new man
Hesitation.
We were all, and I an much as the
others. touched to a singular degree
by the inexplicable phenomena which
passed before our eyes at Lourdes.

When Father Packs the Trunk.
When mother packs the trunk. she
lays
Each garment In its place,
She folds things neatly, smooths
them down.
And leaves no vacant space.
She works In such a quiet way
You'd never think twas hot,
And when we get to Loneiyville
There's nothing she's forgot.
When father packs the trunk-gee
whix!
You ought to see him. now
He grabs the things up. right and
left,
And chucks them anyhow!
He rams them in, and jams them
down.
And later on you'll find
The very thing he wants the most
He's somehow left behind
