GRAVE OF MARY MAGDAL ENE
Tradition Asserts That the s"Great
Sinner of the Bible Was
Inferred in France.

The inhabitants of the Provence dis
trict in southern France claim that
Mary Magdalene, the great sinner
Of the Bible, was inferred In Saint
Maximin chapel hundred miles from
Toulon and Marseilles.
Although the earthly remains OF
one of the first saints are declared to
be contained within this chapel, 1t is
not often visited by sightseers, the
Detroit News states. A picturesque
old woman conducts a small number
Of strangers daily through the chapel.
She leads them into crypt where
the skull Of Mary Magdalene, lined
with bands Of gold. is supposed to be
kept. The bones are dark, almost
black. Yet the deep eyeholes and
delicately curved 1awbones still
arouse an impression Of beauty. In a
golden shrine one sees a curl said to
have been cut from the head Of the
saint who, with her hair, dried the
feet Of the Savior. The hair is thick
and soft and has a gold-brown luster.
TO the question how the saint came
into Provence the old guardian tells
that on account of the prosecutions OF
Christians In Palestine Mary Mag
define and her brother, Lazarus, left
their native country The ship on
which they Travelled happened to be
wrecked near Marsellles.
