w 7 HEREVER an Irishman
" makes his home, there an
altar to st. Patrick is estab-
lished, and on the seventeenth of
March trail of green enriches the
globe. The shamrock from the old sod
reaches faraway places and decorates
thousands of gallant Irishmen who
by the symbol proclaim their devotion
to st. Patrick This year, owing to
the war and the uncertainty of the fu-
ture, the celebrations are somewhat
saddened.
Historians tell us with unfailing zest
that st. Patrick was born of pious and
Godfearing parents in the year 3I2
of the Christian era. The little that
Is known of his youth has been sadly
garbled by chroniclers who, being am
bilious to produce something new,
seem to have forged some points of
the history. OF these chrOniclers some
are, no doubt, correct, but which? On
this account some painstaking writer
has given us the facts as far as truly
known, and with these we must be
content.
In 3S7 he was sold as slave to a
chieftain of Ulster. To the youthful
slave Ireland seemed Godforsaken and
overrun by fiends oeevIl power. There
was no church, no sacraments. He
could find no priest nor any one who
paid any attention to religion. He
was "alone among scoffers and the wor-
shippers of craven images"
His life of prayer and self-sacrifice
continued during the long years of his
term of slavery. which were three.
Finally freed from his bondage he en-
tered the priesthood as he had so long
desired. After he had finished his
studies, he was ordained and the zeal
of his soul became n conflagration. As
many devout souls have prayed to do,
he wished to convert the whole world,
and as all desire, he prayed pathet-
ically to wear the martyrs crown.
France knew of him and there he la
bored for time, as he did in Italy
and the Thyrrhenion sea islands. But
it was to Ireland his heart turned
most eagerly and he was permitted n
vision in which he saw the people of
Erin stretch forth their arms to him
in supplication. and this vision deter
mined him to undertake the difficult
task of the conversion of Ireland. He
Travelled to Rome to get the permis-
sion of the pope and submitted his Ia
Dor and himself to that high dignitary.
He was consecrated bishop and, hav-
ing received his instructions and hav-
ing been blessed, he began his Jour-
ney TO his new mission.
The inhabitants of Erin were con-
sidered in an advanced state of civ
tlization, and st. Patrick began his Ia
bors by denouncing Druidism, aston
ishing Its followers by the wonderful
deeds he accomplished in the name or
God, and little by little they believed
and accepted the mysteries of the
true religion. He explained to them
the mysteries of the Trinity by pick.

or place when it comes to the criticism
of women's s clothes.
Adverse comment has always been
current, according to Mrs. Kate l."

LITTLE CHANGE IN DRESS
Critic Says Socrates ouH Hare Cause for Complaint We're

but acrid Athenian philosopher to stroll
down Chestnut street any fine day he
could return to his home and Nanthippe
and write just such description Of
the women OF the present day. says
Mrs. Gallagher. "In fact, he could,
with perfect justice to the type now
extant. be somewhat more severe, for
it is probable the women of his day
that is, the respectable women-were
less conspicuous in their dress than
many of the same class in this the
twentieth century.
"War economy seems to have been
forgotten and the sanity of plain dress
that was expected to survive has been
entirely lost in the extravaganza of
present day dress.
"Quite the contrary, the pendulum
has swung to the other extreme. and
there is tendency to make up for the
deprivation of the last five years. In
fact, it may be said with truth that
there is what might be called a perfect
orgy of daring Sartorial expression.
1T is rpgrettablc that this spirit OF
daring leads to such extremes, for many
of the fashions of the present day, when
not carried to excess, are both beauti e.
full and sensible. No one would like
to see n return of the long skirt for
street wear or the choker collar that
threatened to cut off the ears of the
unhappy wcarcr.'
Mrs. Gallagher does not believe that
the women of today are less modest
than those of past ages, but she wishes
that the pendulum of fashion would
swing less to the extremes.

Again, on October Il. when his

him again as the only officer, he re-
organized scattered detachments of his

an advanced and very dangerous position
