saint of the British army. Is the the
alter every year of the famous Lume-
con display which ends the procession
of Ste. Waudru. At midday TO the
tOlling of the great bell, otherwise
heard only as a war alarm, st. George
gives battle to the dragon. After
deadly combat, the dragon, according
to rite, crashes down in the dust, shot
through the nOstrils, and the devils
are chastised by the brave followers
of the victorious knight. Before en-
terinG the lists the tabled beast
flags the crowd with mighty blows Of
his tail. The people of Mons believe
that blow from the tail brings
good luck. What matter If 1t hurtsi
On occasion both municipal officials
and clergy take part In the festivities,
and frequently our ancient customs
put them to uncOuth tests. Each yeaI
procession leaves GrammOnt and
goes TO the Gutenberg. Prayers are
said In public, after which lOaves and
fishes are distributed to the crowd,
and the burgOmaster offers the priest
lONluk cup "iAh
wine in which tiny minnOws are swim

pastoral stomach. And so Ii goes till
every notable and every minnow has

huge bonfires upon the surrounding
hilltOps light up the countryside. It's
said that these customs date back to

"Three Entwinsd Ladies'" ~
The story of the warllke virtues and
| tragic deaths of the 'three entwined
ladies' is another jewel of Mouse folk
lore. In 1854 BOuvignes is furiously
attacked by the king of France. The
town Is taken, but the valiant citadel
Of CrevecOeur still holds out. Assault
after assault is repulsed. Alas, the
defenders are now bare hundred, I'm
Guiding old men, women and children,
then fifty, then ten-at last three
young and beautiful women. The
Ladies' of Crevecoeur" still hold out
desperately. They are about to be
taken. Rather than serve at a kings
feast, they climb to the tOpmOst ram
parts and entwining their arms throw
themselves into the Mouse, forever
more the gentle guardian of their
womanly honor. Until this day the
stream continues to weave its liquid
blue shrOud over their white bodies.
Doubtless the folklore OF Flanders
differs from the WallOOn traditions
!; and customs. The latter are light and
gay, the former rich in color and full
of quaint beliefs. The Flemish kerr
messes begin by prayer and the solemn
! warnings of priests who thunder from
, their pulpits-"Hell, mind We, opens
beneath the feet of blond maidens whe
trip the merry dance beware for mis-
fortune will surely visit the stable and
, weigh upon the head of the brawny
yeoman too easily tempted by foamlng
beer and the smiles of women" Bus
the last words Of the priestly warning
have scarce died away before the fes-
! tive board creaks beneath the good
things Of this earth, and ardent youth
feels that IL lives. AS evening falls on
the gay Sundays of August, ribald
songs and Old-time dances end thea
