Today We Celebrate


Today is the anniversary or the
death of Heloise, whose love Tor
Abelard stands for all times as the
type of woman's noblest, self-sacrllc-
ing devotion. Born in 110l, little is
known of her early life, except that
she was brought up by her uncle, a
canon, who gave her the best eduoa-
ton that the age afforded. 1t is sald
that she spoke Latin as we'll as her
own language, which was French.
She was beautiful besides bei1E
T brilliant and at the age OF eighteen
drew around her circle of the most
brilliant scholars of Paris. Among
those whom she met was the famous
| priest and logician. Peter Abelard,
man of middle age, noble birth and
commanding person. He was COM
pletely fascinated by her. The beau-
tiful Heloise returned his love ana
| they were secretly married.
| When their love became known
| and Abelard, in defiance OF the
church, proposed an open marriage
Heloise forbade him. His reputation
| and interests were dearer TO her thtlh
her own fair name, and to them she
sacrificed her love. She lett her nus
band and entered the convent OF
| Peraclete, there for forty years to
dream of her love, consoled by the
letters of Abelard. When he died his
body was secretly conveyed to the
convent, wept over by Heloise and
| buried in it's vaults
| Twenty years later, May II, 1864,
Heloisc was laid beside him. She died
an abess. In the cemetery OF Pere
La Chaise in Paris, where now they
rest beautiful monument rises
above them. Their grave has been
the shrine for lovers to worship at
for many centuries.

''Not until the world turns and we have
awakened from the hideOus nightmare no one may
speak aloud of certain matters up there in Belgium
and in the invaded districts of France. But there
are some things she told us which l may pass to
you, and think you ought to know them.
Exiles of France.
The woraan tells of the last detachment of
French prisoners whom they saw.
eve never knew by what chance they were sent
through our town. One day we looked, and there
in our street were half a dozen French soldiers
with bloody heads and arms, limping along between
BOche guards on their way to the hospital. All our
people rose like a great wave and swept toward
them The guards reversed their rifles and began
clubbing with their butt ends-clubbing the old
women who tried TO toss food to the prisoners club
bling the little children who stretched out handfulS
of chocolate, clubbing the white haired men who
thrust cigarettes into the pockets Of the torn,
stained French uniforms.
eve were beginning to practise some of the hui
initiating arts of a captive people then we remem
bered that shouting in the streets is not allowed.
that no French voice must be heard in that French
town. and in all that sraining, pressing, yearning
crowd there was not a sound not murmur
of Joy wher the BOche guards occasionally relaxed
their vigilance for a moment and some of our
presents reached the prisoners
Then tIey came to the hospital. and went limp
ing painfully up the long stone staircase. =.
Every one waited silently. There no demon
stration only great silent crowd waiting. Not one
