irish MARY"
ST. GAUDENs, THE SCULPTOR, Sc
LEcTED AN IRISH GIRL AS A
MODEL FOR THE DESIGN ON
THE GOLD COINS OF THE
UNITED STATES.

The face of an Irish girl is the de-
sign that adorns the gold coins of the
United States of America. The late
Augustus st. Gaudens, the celebrated
sculptor whose great work has been
the Parnell monument in Dublin, when
seeking a model for the design found
his ideal in a beautiful colleen from
''dhroll Donegal" Upwards of twenty
five years ago, Miss Mary Cunningham
was born in the little town of Carrack
in Donegal, where her father rented
farm of moderate size. A decade or
more ago Miss Cunningham came to
America and lived with a wealthy
family in Boston. A gentle, modest
and refined companion was needed in
the ST. Gaudens household. Miss
Cunningham was recommended, and
accepted and she made her home
there until the passing of the sculp-
tor, who has truly written her name
in letters of lasting gold.
Of retiring disposition, the Irish
maid was known to few. The shat
tering of her home by the death of
St. Gaudens, left her the only alter
native of seeking employment else
where. An unframed assistant in a
Boston hospital was her next occupa-
ton. 1t was when so discovered a few
years ago that Miss Cunningham told
the story of her life, and also allowed
herself to be photographed-all for
the first time. Sad, weary and worn
was the once classical beauty; the
once happy and pleasant Irish colleen,
now forced to work with stained and
hardened hands in all the drudgery of
hospital labor. What a change it was
from her recent home, where she was
regarded by Mr.. and Mrs. st. Gaudens
as one of their own family.
A brunette, hair of the darkest hue,
and finely pencilled eye brows to
match Irish blue eyes, delicate
complexion slightly tinted with red
teeth like pearls; a sad yearning
smile, withal beautiful figure OF
fair statue, graceful and shapely-
such is this flower that is born to
blush unseen. On the discovery OF
the young lady, the well-known editor
Mr. Charles O'Malley, composed a
song in her honor, which he called
Irish Mary" 1t was very soon set to
music, and it has long since gone the
rounds of the theatres and concert
halls of the States. 1t is frequently
found in the programmes of Irish social
gatherings. Bespeaking as it does the
sentiments of SO many millions Of
Irish and Irish-Americans it is de
servedly popular and all the more sc
when they see the sweet face of lass
from the old land smiling to them
from the golden coins of their native
or adopted country. Denis O'Sullivan
the late wel[known singer, frequently
sang this composition.

NOBLE LADIES IN CONVERTS
MANY BRITISH PEERS HAVE
RELATIVES WHO HAVE BE-
COME NUNS.

Julia Lady Lyvenden, who recently
entered convent at Edinburg, is one
of the many English noblewomen who
have taken the VEIL" This is only
natural, seeing that there are over
forty Roman Catholic peers, many of
them with numerous feminine rela-
tives who are religiously inclined.
The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk
are among the number. No fewer
than four of the Duchess aunts are in
different converts, while the Duke
has one sister in the Carmelite Order
and another Sister of Charity. The
Duchess four aunts are all sisters of
Lord Herries. Other peers who have
sisters nuns are Lord Petre (three),
Lord Clifford of Chudleigh, Lord
French, Lord Dormer, Lord Arundel
of Wardour, Lord A1bemarle and Lord
Denbigh.
Several peers, too, have daughters
in converts, notably the Earl of Ash
burton, Lord Newburgh and the Earl
of Abingdon There are also two
daughters of the late Lord Russell of
Killowen in the Convent of the Holy
Child at Mayfield, Sussex.

SAINT CLARA COLLEGE, SINSIN-
AVA, WISCONSIN.

On Saturday evening, Miss Lillian
Gunniss of Milwaukee, member of the
teachers certificate class in vocal
music, was heard in a song recital
The program, composed of selections
from masters of the German, French,
Italian and American schools, gave the
accomplished singer ample opportunity
to prove her versatility. She has a
pure, sweet soprano voice of most
agreeable timbre which she uses
skilfully, always interpreting in a con-
vincing manner. Miss Florence Hig-
gins of Odell, Illinois, added to the
pleasure of the evening by playing in
an admirable manner a group of piano
numbers.
On the evening of the sixth instant
Professor M. C. Rohan of Marquette
University, Milwaukee, kindled in an
interested audience some of his own
enthusiasm in his illustrated lecture
on Beautiful Ireland.
The annual piano recital of Mr.. Sill
vic Scionti, of the American Conserva-
tory, Chicago, occurred February 8.
Always favorite with the Saint Clara
audience, this master pianist pleased
more than ever by the charm of poetic
conception combined with brilliant
technique.

While Father Sorins institution
ranks among the greatest of Ameri-

being the oldest. Georgetown Univer-

among existing Catholic universities of
the United States, having been found

tered by Congress in 1915. Laval

1852, but the famous Laval Seminary

1863 St. Louis University in Mis-
souri,, was established in 1916, and
Marquette University at Milwaukee,

The University of Notre Dame at
South Bend, Ind, one of the foremost
Catholic educational institutions in
America, celebrated, quietly, on Feb
ruary 6, the centenary of the birth of
it's founder and first president, Rev
erend Edward Sorin. 1t was in the
French town of Laval name ever
associated with the great Canadian
Bishop, who was a pioneer in the in
PRODUCTION of Christian learning into
North America-that Father Sorin
was born on February 6, 1914. He
was educated in France, entered the
service of the Church, and in 1841
was sent to America to organize a
branch of the congregation of the
Holy Cross. He labored long and well
among the Indians of western Indiana,
then a wilderness, and made many
converts among the redskins.
It was in 1912 that the Bishop of
vincennes gave Father Sorin tract
of land, on which to erect the rude
school which was to become the Uni
versity of Notre Dame. Father Sorin
was it's first president, and his con-
nection with the institution continued
from it's opening in 1874 until his
death in 1893, a period Of nearly half
