He was mot mealy-mouthed in expressing

The Greek word agos, signifying
a matter Of religious awe, gave the
adjective aggos. meaning sacred.
pure, and it. in turn. names the
tree whose twigs the Greek ma
irons strewed on their beds during
the festival of Demeter, which the
Romans called Agnus Castus.
Incidentally. the Latin word for
lamb is agnus. and since this ami
NAL was used for the sacred pur-
pose of sacrifice, Agnes comes by
her heritage Of purity and sanctity
logically.
One of the first women to bear
the name Of Agnes was the gentle
Roman maiden whose martyrdOm
named the Church of St. Agnese.
1t is said to have ! pen built by
Constantine On the SPOT where she
was put to the utmost proof and
retains an old mosaic picturing
her clad only in her flowing hair,
being dragged along by brutal SOL
diers. Another ancient church
covers Nhe catacomb where she
was inferred, and the story goes
that while her relatives and pill

age were weeping there one day.

St. Agnes eve. maidens could dis
cover their fate in marriage. by
praying nine times to the moon
and fasting three ewes in success

would. Keats. in his exquisite
poem, The Eve of St. Agnes" re-
fers to this superstition:
They told her how upon St. Agnes
eve,
Young virgins might have Wis

AS. supperless, TO bed they must
retire,
And couch supine their beauties,
lily white;
Nor look behind, nor sideways,
but require

all that they desired"
Agnes is popular in England
Scotland. and as royal name in
France and Germany. France calls
her AGNES; Agneta is an English
form: Agnese, Agnesca and Agnete
are Italian. The Wesh form is
Nest. The jewel assigned to Agnes
is the agate, which gives courage

blew the lock into her face. Again
she pushed 1t back and this time
the carnation fell to the gfopnd.
But Eleanor did not notice this.
For down the street she saw the
broad shoulders Of Ralph turning
the corner. In . fa1h she had left
the piazza and was In the paflor.
She snatched . book from the Ia

the chair by the window, and be-
gan to read industriously.

The steps rang Is they came up

they reached the piazza. Eleanor
kept her eyes nxed on the page

into her cheeks. II he thought that

about her lips. She wondered II

she was to think Of his dropping
his work! Suddenly possessed with
. mad desire to see Eleanor again
after "a hours absence. he an

from his voice: -"All right. I'll
come out at once"
Ralph resolved on the way out
to Eleanor's to be very stern ana
cold after all. For q moment q
strong emotion had almost prevail
ed upon him to forgive and FORGET
her unfaithfulnees. Now his pride
had again gained the upper hand.
To throw away one Of his flowers
on the very day that he had given
them to her and that she had prom
ised to keep them alvays-impos-
stble to forgive. He would explain
to her his attitude and say good

the night before. was quietly wait

The Magic Of the Frost.
I saw them turn from green to gold
And hutter merrily about;
1t was the doing OF the frost
Who let the happy summer out.
saw them turn from gold to brown
And flutter sadly to the ground
To cover up the plants and things
And make big and leafy mound
SHAKESPEARE. y'know. said something
about all the world being a stage and all the
people in it players who strut for their brief
hour"
BILL should have been a. LOngfellow
school last night to see some high class
"strutting." RE. MIG.
