SUNDAY WILL BE
ST. PATRIck's DAY.

st. Patrick's day. coming as it does
on Sunday this year, will be cele-
brated almost entirely on dates pre-
cedinE and Immediately following
March IL. A few small social affairs
Of the last week have carried out the
st. Patrick's idea in lunch appoint
ments, and several st. Patricks
parties are planned for this even
ing.
There is no other great saint in
the Catholic hagiOlogy about whom
so much uncertainty exists as St
Patrick, patron Of Ireland, whose
festival is celebrated BY most Irish
men wherever they may be. Many
who are not OF Irish extraction well
come the many clever entertainment
ideas offered for this date, but as is
the case with all other special days
now that this country is feeling the
stress Of war. the celebrations are
fewer in number than in former
years.
Although March IL Is accented as
st. Patrick's day, it Is not even
known whether that is the date OF his
death or Of his birth. although Il is
sometimes said TO be both. So many
CONFLICTING stories have been. woven
into his story that il is now gem
orally assumed that there were two
or more st, Patricks. who have been
rolled by legend into one.
The most popular OF the legends Is
the one giving St. Patrick credit for
driving all the snakes and similar
yermtn out Of Ireland. The story as
current, is told in one OF the most
popular Of Irish songs.
IT is impossible to say when March
IL began 10 be set apart as ST. Pat
rick's day and observed "a the
popular holiday OF Ireland. In most
OF the large cities OF America now il
lis celebrated in normal times by a
parade through the streets OF I-lsh
national societies and other citizens
Of Irish birth or blood.
In Ireland the shamrock la worn
everywhere, i'm commemoration OF the
fact that when st. Patrick was
preaching the doctrine of the Trinity.
he made use Of this plant bearing
three leaves upon one stem. as a
symbol or the Great Mystery.
st. Patrick died at Saul. a pIace
not far from Dunpatrick, and in the
abbey OF the latter towd his BODY
was buried, amid the sorrow Of fire
whole people. The saints age ~ Ire
time OF his death has been the sub /
1ect Of many intricate and ingenious /
and the estimates have
run anywhere between Sc and l2i 1
years.
