Gus in definite and useful purpose,
in an intelligent seizure of character
working out through externals, in a
fine picture sense of place and in
cident. Serious, too, in good con-
science of plain industry bent to the
job in hand. And out of. these various
and fundamental seriousnesses you
are given the chance to sit down with
a novel whose people never betray
the intelligence that they are said
to possess; people of wit and good
manners and good sense; people who,
like everybody else in these bewilder-

nit some deliberate sins, entertain
some moments of repentance and
fresh resolution. A brilliant and en-
tertaining story throughout. Some

safe in saying that"

infdels. And Nicholas, our old friend
Santa Claus, Archbishop of Myra-per-
haps his remains were removed to
Bari, where those marvellous celebra-
tons in his honor are yearly held: but
1t Is quite certain that ne had moth

But Patrick, or Succat Tin Celticl,
whether of Irish blood and birth or
not, was, from his boyhood to his
death, inseparabiy identified with Ire
land and the Irish, and his teachings
and his influence have for fifteen CEN
turtles been so closely interviewer
with the intellectual and spiritual life
of that people as to be bone Of their
bone, flesh of their flesh, brain of their
brain, heart of their heart.
The very map of Ireland is record
Of his life. He landed at kirkpatrick
and thence went to Holmpatrick.
Converting chieftain In County
Down on his own threshing floor, the
place became known as Sabbalpatrick
and Saulpatrick. In Antrim there Is
Templepatrick, and also BallyIig-
patrick, and mountain In Mayo is
Croaghpatrick. In East Meath he
founded the Abbey of Domnach-
patrick; In Donegal there is st.
Patrick's purgatory, in Leinster st.
Patrick's wood, at Cashel st. Patrick's
rock, and there are a dozen st. Pat
rick's wells. There Is Downpatrick,
where he died. and Downpatrick head.
In other lands, too, his name is thus
preserved. He was said to have been
born at Fitzpatrick. In Dumbarton-
shire; he lived at Fitzpatrick in Lam
AYRSHIRE; he visited Craigpatrick,
near Inverness; he built churches at
Kirkpatrick In Kirkcudbright, at Kirk
patrick in Dunfries, and at Kirk
patrick in Durham; he preached at
Patricksdale or Patterdale in West
moreland; he walked into Wales over
Sarnpatrick, or Patricks causeway;
the Isle of Man was called Innis-
patrick after he had visited 1t and
had founded the Church Of Kirk
patrick, and he sailed for France
from Llanpatrick, In Anglesea.
Note. too, the manner in which vari-
GUS notable traditions have come to
be identified with Patrick, though
existing long before his time. The
trefoil was venerated by the ancient
Persians as emblematic of the Triads
In their religion. and in Arabic it was
called "shamrakh." But nobody ever
thinks Of 1t, or of oxalis, now save
as the Irish shamrock, used by st.
Patrick in his demonstration of the
Christian Trinity. Again, centuries be-
fore his time, it was scientifically as
serted that serpents were never seen
where trefoil grows and that herb was
a specific against their bite. But who
thinks now of the Elder Pliny by the
side Of the story of ST. Patrick's ex-
pulsion of all serpents from the land
where the shamrock grows?
1t might indeed he plausibly ques-
toned whether, with the one obvious
exception, any other single man has
for centuries meant so much to the
genius and the life of a people as st.
Patrick has to the Irish rsce through
out the world.

St. pdtrick's
Day.
and uhu
By u1illis F. johnson
In NeU York Tribune

s. HERE is no ground for wonder
III ing at the zeal and piety with
1@syI which the Irish people COM
ES2N memorate the anniversary Of
their patron saint, since, for
reasons based on fact, st. Patrick
means more to them, and has for CEN
turtles meant more to ireland, than
any other patron saint in the calen-
dar has meant, to the land that re-
veres his name. INDEED. he is the only
one who can be said to have been as
ISOLATED with his country to such a
degree as to shape its destiny and to
dominate all its subsequent history.
Some of the most famous patron
saints have had only the most shad-
owy and legendary relations to the
countries which adopted them. Such
conspicuously is the case with ST.
George, who never was In England
nor had anything to do with 1t. If we
are to believe Gibbon, he was most
undesirable and discreditable person,
a CRATER, a tyrant and hereto, who
richly deserved the killing which was
administered to him; and he was
adopted as patron by Richard Occur
de Lion because he saw him in
dream, before the Battle of Acre, as
a precursor of victory. Butler, the
Catholic historian, makes him an en-
tirely different person, Of sanity life,
who suffered martyrdom under Do
cletian, but was never near England.
Finally, the erudite and reverent
Sabine Barring Gould doubts if there
ever was such a person, outside Of a
sun god myth.
st. Andrew was a real enough per.
son, the brother of Simon Peter, of
Bethsaida, In Galilee. But all that we
know of him Is in the New Testament,
and there is only the most legendary
foundation for the story that his body
was taken to Scotland and inferred
where now stand the city and cathe-
dral which bear his name. David, or.
Ddewl. was real person, too, arch
bishop of Caerleon and primate of
Wales. But he had no lasting infu-
ence over the life of the Welsh people,
and, indeed, he was regarded as be-
longing more to England than to
Wales especially since he was re-
puted to have wrought the miracle
which created the thermal waters at
BATH
Denis, or Dionysius, was an early
by no means the first-missionary to
the Gauls, and was the first bishop of
Paris; but his mark in French history
is so slight as to be almost negligible
perhaps most remembered through
the epigram of the irreverently witty
lady of the old regime who, being re-
minded that after his martyrdom by
decapitation the saint walked two
miles with his head under his arm, be-
fore he died, observed: 'The distance
doesn't matter; it's the first step that
counts |"
AS for James the Elder, brother of
John, and son of zebedee, he ap-
pears to have suffered martyrdom I'M
der Herod Agrippa in A D. a, and
there is only legendary authority for
the story that he preached In Spain
and that after his death Spanish con-
yerts bore his body back to their coun-
try, where In the year 841 he rose
from his tomb, mounted white horse,
led the army of King Ramiro of Leon
against the Moors at Ulavijo, and with
his sword slew sixty thousand OF the

wonder today in old Ireland
If someone is thinking of me.
I wonder If thoughts are a-turning
To a wanderer over the sea?
wonder, as shamrocks they gather,
II they're picking one for me-
And when the peat fires burn in the
hush of the night
If my face in the glow light they see?

For ship TO come sailing the seas.
Or II someone is trying a message to

At the Eagle Theatre. on Saturday
at 2:15 o'clock, will be shown 1.-THE
Babes in the Woods a film fantasy
that has made many children happy.
This Fox production has in its cast
some of the most delightful child ac-
tors who appear on the screen. 1t is
wholesomely entertaining to view
these little folks as they carry their
parts with the most exact attention to
detail, while presenting the vivid, en-
trancing story. More of this sort of
films are always welcome.
Two youngsters who play star roles
are Virginia Lee Corbin and Francis
Wilburn Carpenter. At the time the
picture was made the girl was four
and a half years old and the boy a
year older. They portray very inter-
esting tale that should long be re-
membered by the tots of this city
The acting art of the children in the
cast is astonishing, making it difficult
to believe ones eyes. Here is a spright
" colc1ful story that grownups as
well as children will appreciate.
