Misses Mildred Bechet and Esther
Sicily made their first communion
at the Sacred Heart Convent in
Grand Coteau last Thursday The
event was of great interest to their
relatives and friends who had the
privilege of attending this solemn
ceremony. The beautiful altars of
the Sacred Heart Chapel in their
chaste, but elegant simplicity were
ablaze with hundred waxen tapers;
the sight and scent of the number
less lilies that filled every available
space and the incense as it was watt
ed to us on the early morning air
so bewildered our senses as to cause
US to believe we were not of the
earth, earthly. Suddenly the or
gan pealed forth note of triumph,
q door was softly opened and there
band of young girls,
dressed in purest white, their young
faces rivalling in sweetness and
purity the lilies by the altar and re
flecting the heavenly beauty of their
souls. Slowly and softly they walk
ed toward the main altar and knelt
before prieudieu covered with
dainty white tulle caught here and
here with sprays Of delicate green
Term. At each young girls place
stood tall wax candle with one
beautiful white lily emblem of pur-
ty tied with long streamers Of white |
satin ribbon. Rev. Father Chamard |
). ]. intoned the mass and delivered
! mastery and impressive sermon.
The singing in the choir was render
I'd with the correctness that de-
totes high musical talent, and With
rue Christian pathos and absence Of
|stentation. After the ceremonias
he parents and friends gathered in
he convent parlors where the First
,ommunicants were allowed to eonei
nd receive the congratulations III
he loving embrace Of those near
nd dear to them. Having been ten-
ered the freedom Of the convent
rounds for the day we availed our
elves Of the privilege by stro1lingl
through the beautiful gardens. Down
he aisle Of pines, in and out around
he flower beds, then into the park
vhere we saw the pupils enjoying
arious games with all the zest and
xuberance Of youth, under the ma
estic oaks. On, on we went until
re reached the Silent City" where
re saw th~ simple. well kept graves
I the noble daughters Of Madame
'arat. At high noon we enjoyed .
ste champetre-a bountiful repast
nder the century old oaks. At four
clock we returned to the chapel to
sslst in the Benediction and to
ear the first communicates pro-
ounce their vows and receive the
caplurA Az the last strains of the {
lrewell hymn "Laudate" died in
le distance we regretfully decend-
the chapel stairs and wended our

Apply day! oh perfect day!
