Today We Celebrate


Many and quaint are the customs
! connected with Epiphany, the festival
commemorating the manifestation of
Christ to the three magi, kings or wise
men OF the East. Among the Prot
cstants of America and England there
! will be little observance OF the day.
but in Catholic countries it is still 4
day OF religious observance.
, Epiphany is "A festival of many
names. In England it Is known as
Twelfth-Day. or Old Christmas Day.
Among the Catholics it is known as
the Feast Of the Three Kings. In
Cuba and other Latin-Americsn coun-
tries the Day OF the Kings is n happy
| occasion for the youngsters. as It is
then that they receive the gifts sucn
as are bestowed on children at Christ
mas in this country. Our Latin
neighbors tell us that this is much
more appropriate. as il was OF this
! day that M%elchior, Jasper and Bal
thuZar appeared before tho infant
Jesus to offer presents of gold, frank
incense and myrrh.
Frenchmen have made the Day OF
the Kings an annual pay-up day,
when all accounts are supposed TO be
settled. Since the outbreak of the war
this feature OF the day has not been so
strictly observed, although the old
custom is so strong that the women
whose breadwinners have been away
at the front pinched and saved TO the
uttermost ccntime In order that all
debts were paid on this day.
Italians also celebrate Epiphany
with much enthusiasm, although the
old custom of holding a pageant on
his day has almost died ont. In for
mer times a number OF Italian cities
staged magnificent spectacles on this
day. that at Milan being the most fam

her beauty was destroyed-then she
was sent to the fields with the old
women. She escaped and owing to
her accurate knowledge of the coun-
try. she reached the British lines.
Women hid her by day at the risk
OF their w lives and by night she
craw,ed flat on the ground, like ast
animal, all her strength coming from
her hate Of the Teuton. she says, and
from her will to avenge her husband.
She accomplished this vengeance, to a

hcers how to locate certain of the
German gun emplacements. The
eye of the army tho air service,
was not at that time perfected, and
the facts reported by Eloise helped
the British to wipe out q number of
Hun batteries.
The girl was sent to London t. get
well. then to America to tell to small
groups of women tho u~nprintable
story OF Hun atrocity. But the task
proved too much for her nerves.
Mother Lsorimer discovered her in tho
home of a New York friend and
brought her here for q change. But
Eloise can never rest again. she say
she must work or go mad. So she
has stayed on and on as a lady's maid
and Mother Lorimer has paid her
enormous wages. most of which Eloise
sends back to Belgium.
Eloise never talks to Chrys or to
me. Chrys thinks her a fine lady
whom the Hun has made ashamed to
live among her own people. Chrys
says that she knows how to be a per-
feet maid because she has been wait
ed on herself. But Chrys Is awfully
Imaginative.
Mother Lorimer believes that too
many Americans are getting over
the war exactly as they would get
over a dreadful sickness-that Is, by
forgetting 1t as soon as possible. So
she tells the true story Of Eloise very
