triple crown, the keys, the winged
lion and anchor, is the emblem found
Immediately back of the main arch.
A representation Of st. Cecilia playing
the organ is appropriately placed near
the choir. The emblem opposite to
this consists Of a cross, crown and
heart representing the three divine
virtues-Faith, Hope and Charity. On
the same side is pictured the pelican
tearing open it's breast to feed its
nestlings. This last is a figure Of the
Redeemer who died for men. A study
of Christ from 'The Last Supper sur.
mounts the large window on the north
side; directly opposite to this on the
south side is a picture of Our Lady OF
Perpetual Help.
The work Is done entirely in oil.
An idea of the amount of material
used can be gained from the fact that
fourteen hundred pounds of white lead
were used on the last coat. The
Cathedral was crowded Sunday even
ing, when Father Egan gave a short
explanation of the emblems.

NO FRILLS OR RUFFLES.

West wore. but I'm no good at fashion
articles. and, anyway. II was all very plain
and almose severe. No frllls or ruffies,
just straight folds OF some satiny stuff
with a little white vest effect. 1t was
very we'll cut, though. and everything
about the lady showed the services Of an
excellent maid but there were no coquet-
fish touches.
Her black hair was pompadoured in
front and coiled low. She has delightful
Irish blue eyes. a clear skin. very fem
mime mouth with curling lips. and an ex-
ceedingly strong and masculine chin.
She seated herself at the manly desk,
and took chair opposite. Then again
the door opened, and this time a small
black Aberdeen. very like hedgehog In
his general style. came into the room with
mncing steps, and after one distinctly
suspicious look at me nestled down by
his mistress's chair.

almost everything all her own way
