Stretching forth her hands to all in

Ing all.
Ready and eager TO comfort at a
time when comfort is most needed;
helping the little home that's crushed
beneath an iron hand by showing
mercy in a healthy, human way; re-
building it, in fact, with stone on
stone; replenishing empty bins and
empty cupboards; bringing warmth to
hearts and hearths too long neglected.
Seeing all things with a mothers
sixth sense that's blind to jealousy and
meanness; seeing men in their true
| light, as naughty children-snatching,
! biting, biter-but with n hidden side
that's quickest touched by mercy.
Reaching out her hands across the sea
to No Mans Land; to cheer with
warmer comforts thousands who must
stand and wait in Stenched and crawl
J ing holes and water-soaked entrench-
ments where cold and wet bite deeper,
so they write, than Boche steel or lead.
| She's warming thousands, feeding,
healing thousands from her store; the
greatest mother in the world-the Red

Horrifyinc GarooyIes.

The destroyed cathedral at Reims
was noted for its gargoyle ornaments
and the strange use to which they were
put. Uncanny monsters supported ped
estals for angels and apostles. Often
the beasts were horrible caricatureS of
the saints they upheld. Sometimes
they were monks and nuns. One par
ticularly roguish brother had pursed
his lips in the face of an astonished
angel for centuries.
A conscientious gargoyle has a duty
to perform other than scoring the
sightseer and looking terribly individ-
ual He is a mouthpiece for a rain
gutter. Few gargoyles, however, per-
rorm their natural duty. They prefer
to sit on balustrades and chew less
fortunate members of their species.
There are those, however, that are old
fashioned and really work. For eN-
ample, the ones at Milan. Here real
rain water pours from their open jaws.
But since they are so busy they have
less time to be fashionably horrible
and so are not so famous as their
kindred of Paris and Reims.
