eagerly forward, eraning his who'll. body for last possible glimpse.
 Joyce's party was pronounced a suc- cess. Louise didn't think so. In fact she was disappointed. She'd expected to meet prince full of foreign allure and courtly grace, before whom she'd preen her queenly charms; but HameT Heating was disconcertingly ordinary, and, yes-rather commonplace. How ever, her outraged vanity was molli- fed by his eagerness to call the Veey next evening.
 He did call, and asked to see Aunt Prudence in her Renaissance bcudoir of which Joyce had told him. and he asked to paint her sitting in that room, he also asked Louise to pose in the picture wearing the little muslin dress she had worn the first time he had seen her; the day she waited for a street car.
 By the time the picture-wAacA the artist named "Renascent"-was nn- ished, all the foolishness had been brushed from the heart of the girl, and at the end of the year two struggling young artists were jubilant over schoi- arships. They didn't know, of course. that those scholarships were bought with the savings from Louise Brae- don's dress allowance. and at the same years end two other young hearts, male and a female-were beating as one.

at that time, and the traces Of them

"DiEs IRAE" SUNG IN ALL MASSES
FOR DEAD.

The dies Irae," sung in all Masses
for the dead, was written by Thomas
of Celano, one of the followers of the
Seraphic Saint Francis. Thomas,
who lived about 1200-1255, wrote val
liable prose works on the life Of the
holy founder, and was likewise favored
with the gift of poetry. One of his
hymns, "Sanctitatis Nova Sigma" is
used as a sequence in the Mass for
st. Francis Day. The "Dies Irae" pic
lures the Day of Doom and voices the
emotions aroused by that subject In
the Christian Heart
1t is masterpiece or poetry. says
the Franciscan Herald. Great liter
airy men like Dryden, Johnson. Goethe,
Scott, and Macaulay, have expressed
their appreciation of it. The hymnol-
ogist Daniel calls it s'the greatest
glory of sacred poetry, the most val
liable treasure of the Latin Church. -
Saintsbury refers to it as '..the great
est of all hymns, and one of the great
est of all poems"
The hymn has 10 stanzas All who

AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY.

L Striking ceremonies took place re-
Gently in Rome, in the Catacombs of
Comodilla, when the annual COM
nlemoration was celebrated in these
catacombs by the Collegium Cultorum
Martyrum.
These exercises were impressive in
a special manner, recalling as they
did the great events of Christian his
tory which have taken place Of old
in the catacombs. The rites them
selves can conjure up in the imagi-
nation of the modern beholder pic
ture of many a Christian service of
/ the ancient times when the Church
was prosecuted with terrible scourg-
ings.
On. the occasion of the commence
ration, Solemn Mass i'm the Greek Rite
was celebrated in the crypt in the
morning. The Schola Cantorum of
the Greek Seminary performed the
liturgical music, so impressive any
where, but SO especially SO in these
surroundings and under the condi.
tons a0f the commemoration.

charity-work. You will find cases in
which incompetency leads to drudgery
and drudgery to Encouragement. For
such cases training in some simple
craft may beget new vision of life

In the manner of publicity much
more might be done to stir up the
Catholic public to the urgency at
present of a revival of the age-long
tradition of Catholics in effective So
cial work Visits to our institutions

tent to see the good work done and
to make it known to our people. Cath
olics will be more willing to help your
special work If somehow they see it
alongside Of the vast religious, edrl-
cational and institutional work which
they are doing. The best way to get
people to do more is to acknowledge
generously what they have already
done. Necessity may compel You to
employ specialists, but only those
should be employed whose hearts are
in the work, not merely professionally,

similar ways you can make your char.

true religion prescribes. AS individ-
