Our church was a little chapel-of
ease on the edge of my husbands es-
tate, opened, after centuries OF neg
lect, by the bad Lord Raa, in his re-
generate days for the beneit of the
people OF his own village. 1t was

the Gloria.
Following the gospel there was a
sermon on the words. Lead us not
into temptation but deliver us from
evil The preacher was young
curate, the brother of my husbands
coachman: and IL occurred to me
that he could know very little of
temptation for himself but the in
struction he gave US was according
to the doctrine OF our church, as
had received it from the Reverend
Mother and the Cardinals who used
TO hold retreats at the convent.
Beware of the temptations OF the
flesh. my children" said the priest.
The Evil One is very subtle. and not
only In our moments of pride and
prosperity, but also in our hours of
sorrow and affliction, he is forever
waiting and watching to betray US to
our downfall and damnation"
In the rustling that followed the
sermon a poor woman who sat next to
me- with a print handkerchief over
her head. whispered in my ear that
she was sorry she had not brought
her husband, for he had given way to
driukm poof fellow. since the island
had had such good times and wages
had been so high

been out of work for some time past,
they were by no means sorry to
have found jobs again, although in

them to leave home at a. m.

in the cold, dim hours of the early
morning, Mike turned him out Of

he learned that the clock had
stopped, and that Mike had merely
guessed the time.
1t couldn't be anything like 5
o'clock, said Pat and, to prove his
statement, led his friend to the win

What a awkward way to begin a

Nature are very butiful. 1t is like

From the beginning of all time

buties of Nature. The leeves on the
tree are green in the summer & so

are a green that no artist has ever
matched. What CRATE painter, except
my brother, ever painted a flaming
forest in the Autumn, all crimson &
