AN EASTER PRAYER IN
 ROME.

Over the quaint old Roman room,
 Where. on the white stone window The Easter lilies are in bloom,
 A low knock keeps re-echoing till The door is opened. There he stands The humble little parish priest. With kindly eyes and open hands, So gentle he recalls t'the least Of these, my brethren Near him
 waits
 The chubby little aco1yte With holy water. while he states In English, haltfng, but polite. His earnest purpose:-''By your leave May I not give this dwelling place An Easter blessing Easter Ever Who could refuse the proffered
 grace?
 Not we, who in a, foreign land
 Struggling with foreign speech. have
 need
 Of blessings from a, friendly hand. Whate'er our creed or lack of creed; And so the gentle little priest, Clad poorly in a shabby gown, Prepares us for the Paschal Feast By sprinkling holy water down In the four. corners. nnurnuring low A Latin benedfction-then With t'Buona Sera!'' turns to go. Our dwelling place is pure again From malice, wickedness and sin; From evil domination free. Guarded without and cleansed within
 By this quaint, kindly ministry. Now while the luminous twilight
 spreads
 Across the spacious Roman sky, While folded hands and pended heads Send many an prison on high, The poor paroco's holy mood Still fingers in the quiet air. And here. where wrapped in prayer he
 stood.
 Our deeper thought takes wing in
 prayer:- 70 Master of the Paschal Feast, Grant us upon the Paschal Day, The spirit of the humble priest Who bears within a dish of clay The 1ustra1 water. purging still ;s-.s The brutal instinct from the breast, The poor caprfces from the will. The ego from it's vain unrest! From empty husks we cannot eat, From herding with the wauowing
 swine Bid us arise with eager feet Forever seeking the divinel Unto new Easters lead our ways, Forever rising from the dead To newer Resurrection Days!'' Robert Gilbert Welsh, in New York Telegram

IN DESPERATE FIGHT THIS GIRL
 HOLDS BURGLAR

New York, March 26-After a desper- ate fight with a man in her home. at early today, Miss Sophia Rosen, twen- ty years old, held him until the police arrived and placed him under arrest The rare courage and daring of the for the capture of the intruder. who struggled violently to escape and. it is charged. threatened to kill Miss
 Miss Rosen, who is a stenographer employed in Manhattan business place, lives with her mother. Mrs three story dwelling in Nineteenth street. Her room is on the ground floor and directly back of the dining room, which overlooks 9, small yard to the girls room is the parlor.
 It was through a window of the lat ter room that the man gained entrance to the Rosen household by the aid of a jimmy. He had evidently been there only a, short time when the noise he made awakened Miss Sophia As she the man in the dining room. she says, packing the silverware and bric-a-brac into a sack that he carried.
 Instead of lying quiet and waiting for the raan to depart, she crept stealthi1y out of bed and made toward the dining room. The intruder heard her as she walked over the floor and turned as she was almost at his side.
 eff you make an outcry, I'll kill you,'' he exclaimed.
 When he saw that trouble was inn pending for him he attempted to run, but he found that Miss Rosen had caught hold of his clothing and was holding to him with a grip of iron
 All the while she was screaming at the top of her voice for aid. Her sis ter, Sarah, seventeen years old. was the first to hear the warning, and she hurried downstairs, having the same cool bravery of her elder sister. The mother also hastened downstairs and took part in the battle with the man, who was then fighting with all his strength to get away from his persis- tent captor.
 But his efforts proved futile. Rein forced by her sister and mother, the young woman held fast to the man until assistance arrived.< The screa ms of the three had been heard by Louis Rosen berg. who lives at No. 343 Nine teenth street, the house adjoining. Ro- senberg, as he ran to the house. called Policeman Gerbold, of the Fifth ave- nue police station.
 When Rosenberg and the policeman entered the house they found Miss So- phie holding tight to the man, aided by her sister.
 A charge of burglary was preferred against the man. He said he came here from Philadelphia.

$2 silk 95c.

Robespierre silks are silks that sell regularly at $2 a yard.
 They are handsome and good; at 95 cents are a mo- table bargain.
 Woven like a pongee they have a 'crosswise cord which gives them distinctiveness. Their luster is especially brilliant and the rich colors in which they are dyed serves to bring this Iuster out doubly well.
 Unlike most 'crosswise corded fabrics, they drape into graceful folds easily. That is because of the soft nees of their weave.
 From every standpoint, they drape into graceful folds easily. That is be- cause of the softness of their weave.
 From every standnoint, they are desirable silks and they are going to be snapped up in short order.

MEMS EAsTHR MEETING


 Everything possible has been done in the preparation of the program for the mems meeting at the Young Mems Christian Association Sunday to carry out the spirit of Easter time. The choir of the First Baptist church un- der the leadership of Mir. Grannis will render Easter music. This choir con- tains some of the most popular music ians in the city and the music will be a rare treat. Some of the selections will be taken from ffThe Messiah '' This not only makes a fine program for those who are in the habit of at tending the meeting. but also gives a general opportunity for others who cannot attend that church in the morn ing to hear their music.
 The subject under discussion, under the leadership of pr. Edward Sylvester Smith, could scarcely have been more appropriate as the question strikes at the very root of the lives of Christian men. Why Should We Pray is the topic, and in accordance with the rather interesting plan adopted a few weeks ago those in the audience, who wish. may enter into the discussion
