FETE OF A1ARGUERTTE MARIE TO BE OBSERVED
 IN PARIS TO-DAY.

If elaborate plans made some time ago are carried out. the fete of Bles- sed Marguerite Marie will be celebrat- ed in Paris to-day by official consecra- ton of the Church of the Sacre Occur on Montmartre, thus bringing to full realization a pious project which had its origin during the reign of Louis XVI. The cornerstone of the sacred edifice was laid thirty-nine years ago to-day, in the presence of thousands Of Catholics gathered from all over France, and the church is still far from complete, although the magnifi- cent building has already cost over $8, 900, 900. It is 8. large and state 1y white structure of the Byzantine style Of architecture, and it is destin- ed to become a Mecca, for the Catho- lies of the republic, and the most ma jestic monument reared by the relig- fous spirit of France.
 Marguerite Marie, whose fete is celebrated to-day, was native of Burgundy, and lived in the seven teenth century. Like Joan of Arc, she saw visions. and it is said that Jesus appeared to her on many occa- sions, always displaying his sacred heart. In 1875 Marguerite Marie re- ceiyed a revelation that she, in CO., operation with Father de Ia Colom-

Today finishes the frstsl of the Eight Little Campaigns which have been undertaken by the Connecticut Woman Slrfrage Association All these campaigns have been planned for the weeks which will still be available before the real winter weather sets in and the roads Of rural Connecticut become impossible for the suffrage motor cars The first was in Hartford county, chiefly in the re- zion to the north and west of the city Of Hartford It began last Sunday with a suffrage meeting in the Con gregationaI church of East Hartford Rev. T. W. Spanswick presided over the meeting and Miss Emily Pferson made a. forcibIe address on the moral and religious aspects of woman suf- frage.
 The leaders in all this campaign work have been Miss Emily Pierson, Miss Alyse Gregory and Miss Isabella Sanders, the three organizers of the C. w. $. A. The officers of the Con necticut Woman Suffrage Association are also freely offering help in the campaign work. Mrs r. N. Hepburn spoke last Tuesday at UnionwiIle and on Wednesday at SiTnsburg.

bfere, Of the Society of Jesus, was to institute the feast of the Sacred Heart, and to spread that devotion throughout the world. Tn another revelation she was commanded to have built a church dedicated to the Sa-3 cred Heart on the summit of the hill of Montmartre in Paris-tae site of the fslartyrdom Of St Deniss the pa tron saint of France.
 Louis XVI was persuaded to erect. the church on Montmartre, but before the plans of the architect were com pIeted the king was led away to the scaffold. Napoleon then considered the project. although it was his pur- pose to build a temple of peace on Montmartre. For Napoleon there was no peace, however, and after the res toration Of the Bourbons the pious wish of Blessed Marguerite Marie re- ceived no further consideration
 It was not until after the down fall of the second empire that French Catholics again took up the enter prise. The proposal was for a time blocked by the government, which de- sired to use the site for a fort, but at last the National Assembly authorized the purchase of the land for a. church. Tn 1875 the first stone was laid Some of the financial packers of the project favored an edff1ce Of Gothic architecture, but it was real izeG by the majority that such an at tenrt to emulate the architectural g1ories of the thirteenth century must fail, and the Byzantine plan was
 Cities and towns throughout France contributed to the building of the Church of the. sacre Occur, and their arms appear in pillars within the building. Practically every stone bears the name of a village. community or individual donor. Can ada contributed an altar to St. John the Baptist, and Ireland's offering was an altar to St. Patrick. The great bronze doors are among the most beautiful in the world.
 Services have been held in the nave of the church every Sunday for some time, but years must e1apse before the gigantic structure will be complete in all it's details. It is the purpose of the church to be truly democratic and to appeal to Catholics regardless of class or station in life. This pur- pose has already been realized, as the Sunday congregations in the nave are representative of every class of so- ciety in the French capital

TO-DAY'S POEM
WHAT CONSTITUTES A STATE?

What constitutes a state? Not high-raised battIement or labored mound, Thick wall or unoated gate Nor cities proud with spires and tur- rets crowned; Not bays and broad armed ports, Where, laughing at the storm, rich ma vies rides
 Not starred and spangled courts, Where low browed baseness waits perfume to pride. No-rnen, hfgh-natnded men. With powers as far above dull brutes endued In forest brake or den, As beasts excel cold rocks and bram- bles rude;
 Men who their duties know, But know their rights, and, knowing, dare maintain These constitute a state, And sovereign law that states collect ed will,
 Der thrones and globes elate, Sits empress, crowning good, repress- ing i'll.
 Sir William Jones.

Fat is the greatest foe to woman's beauty. Since 1t is a self-created foe. however. there is no need to despair.

The Ending of War.
 WNHAT conference upon the Bris-
 sago meadows was one of the
 most heterogeneous collections
 of prominent people that has ever met together. Municipalities and powers. stripped and shattered until all their pride and mystery were gone, met in a marvellous new humility. Here were kings and emperors whose capitals were lakes of flaming destruc ton, statesmen whose countries had be come chaos, scared politicians and financial potentates. Here were lead CTS of thought and learned investi- gators dragged reluctantly to the con uoI of affairs. Altogether there were ninety three of them, Leblanc's con cepton of the head men Of the world. They had all come to the realization of the simple truths that the indefatiga ble Leblanc had hammered into them, and, drawing his resources from the king of Italy, he had provisioned his conference with a generous simplicity quite in accordance with the rest of his character and so at last was able to make his astonishing and entirely rational appeal. He had appointed King Egbert the president. He be neved in this young man so firmly that he completely dominated him, and he spoke himself as a secretary might speak from the presidents left hand, and evidently did not realize himself that he was telling them all exactly what they had to do. He imagined he was merely recapttulating the ob Yious features of the situation for their convenience. He was dressed in ill., fitting white silk clothes, and he con suited dingy little packet of notes as he spoke. They put him out Re ex- plained that he had never spoken from notes before, but that this occasion was exceptional.
 And then King Egbert spoke as he was expected to speak, and Leblanc's spectacles moistened at that flow of generous sentiment, most amiably and lightly expressed. s'We haven't to stand on ceremony said the king, i've have to govern the world. We have aaways pretended to govern the world, and here is our opportunity"
 ssOf course" whispered Leblanc, nod ding his head rapidly, .tof course.''
 E@The world has been smashed up. and we have to put it on its wheels ' again. said King Egbert, @as it is the simple common sense of this crisis for all to help and none to seek advan- tage. Is that our tone or not?'

 On the other hand, there is no use in breeding over the happiness which might have been. The realities of life are never what we have pictured they. would be-. How many a woman we'd ded her first love, she might not have been so happy with him as with the
 man who eventually wooed and won her when her heart was riper and she knew better how to appreciate a good mans love. There are many people who fancy because a man remains bachelor late in life that he is griev- ing over some old love affair. The fact is he gives the old love but 6 passing thought. When a sweetheart is lost to a man by her marriage to another, he pl1iIosophically conclud es that it's useless to cry over split milk. If he thinks of her at all, while her memory is still sweet to him. he con- been for the best. Once in a while we hear of old loves patching up their differences in after years, which shows that there are some hearts, after all. which cling to faded romances. Love once disrupted is never quite the same. The rock which they stumbled against in earlier life must always be careful ly avoided. Young girls often be- come aequainted with young men and proceed to fall in love with them with out encouragement.

When two who have loved fondly be- gin to disagree and after many a. fall ing out, agree to go their separate ways, each imagine that the heart will not suffer.
 There never was a greater mistake. Memory will not be shifted. Other would-be sweethearts may seize the opportunity to come eagerly forward and sue for the girls favor, but sonae- void in her heart.
 It is quite the same with @. man. If his heart has gone out to one girl none other can have a. like attraction for him. He is pleasant to all, but is care fuT to avoid anything like sentiment, thus giving the. other girl reason to be- 1teve that he is in the matrimonial markets
 It is claimed that time heals all griefs This is undoubtedly true; yet, try as we may, we cannot forget the old love which made the dull old world heaven on earth while it lasted. Des- tiny may turn our steps into other paths: we may find consolation with other hearts. But in our lonely mo- ments, memory harks back to the lost past.
 What woman, in such idle moments, has not wondered what became of the lover who was once all in ali to her; if he found it easy to forget her, or if 1t was with him as it was with her though lost to sight, to memory dear It is not enough to cherish a
