Parish Revels at Lawn Fete.
Five hundred people thronged the
grounds around St. Cecilia's pro-ca-thcdrat
last evening at the opening of
two-night lawn fete for the benefit
of the cathedral. Dozens of electric
lights made the cene bright and
lighted the gay booths where the
young wonjen's sodality and the mar
ried women of the church sold every
thing from candy to handkerchiefs.
The young women conducted a
- country store, where they sold gro
ceries, coffee and all kinds of provi
sions. Mr. thomas Swift became the
fortunate possessor of a package of
hardtack from this flourishing store.

tained every sort of dainty needle
work, aprons, camisoles, guest tow-
. els, handkerchiefs, knitting bags and
a number of handsome articles such
as a cutglass water set and a large
flower vase ,or urn, ' contributed by
Mrs. B. A. McDermott and Mrs. M.
Shirley. The articles which caught
the eye of most -of the young ladies,
however, were the beautiful hat boxes
which the women had made. Large
round boxes of gaily-colored paper,
some with beribboned tops and some
without, were the cynosure of all fem
inine eyes. Miss Claire Helen VVood
ard had her eyes set on a specially
pretty hat box.
Miss Catherine Cartan was shop
ping at the bazar for a bride-to-be
friend. Her purchase was a very novel
laundry bag of pink and white cre
tonne, l he , nag was shirred on a
coat hanger covered with pink and
white ribbons and opened at the side,
so that it could be hung on the wall
or in any convenient spot without in
terfering with its usefulness.
The little folks and some big folks,
too, were buying dolls right and left.
Little Miss Margaret Dugdale carried
home a big red-haired doll larger than

over.

"FOR THE
LADIES"
What ib Your Ideal?
Ey BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Just what are you making of life?
Peace ofmind? Happiness? Suc
cess? A chance to serve? It may
be that yy are trying to secure them
all and that you find all of them
eluding you.
We have the highest authority for
stating that "No man can serve two
masters: for either he, will hate te
one and love the other, r else he w ill
hold to the one. and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
Peace of mind demands a clear con
science, an assurance of honest deal
ings, the certainty of effort made in
the right direction. But none of these
things guarantee worldly success, or
achievement, or the applause of the
multitude.
The "durable satisfactions" of life
are not necessarily those which arc
accepted by the general public in
this money-mad and mercenary ape
of ours. But the really happy people
are the people who have peace of
mind, who have possessed the durable
satisfaction of service and generous
love and honesty and kindness and
cle?n striving toward a worthy 'goal.
Idealism is likely to be sneerH at
by two out of three neonle. "That
r'nesn't sret you anything," says the
Practical Man, when he sees some
one sop to lead a timid and hesitat
ing old woman across the crowded
rtrerts. Of course such a .kindness
would not be done by anvone who
stopped to reckon up what it would
"get him." But the sort of man who
instinctively offers cotirtesv and con
sideration "to those who need it has
"oten" something out of his own at
titude. Fineness, serene sweetness,
responsiveness to the gentle beauty
of service are his.
Thi is a subject on which it is all
too easy to be poetical and imnrac
tical, and it" is the sort of, subject
about which no one can write very
usefully unless she is willing to "come
down to brass tack's."
And so I am going to be mercenary
and co'd-bloode'd and calculating
about the thincs which peon'r who
are habitually so have to miss! Monev

It feeds the body, dresses it in
luxury and buys for it expensive
playthings, hut it cannot purchase
real friendship or love or freedom
from sickness and suffering, or secur
ity from any of the problems which
rise inside ot the human being.
Success bring admiration, applause,
flattery, the distinction of being point
ed out as a person who has accom
plished something big. But it brings
envy, too and deceit and publicity
when the one wants peace and quiet
and the need of living up to what the
public expects.
"The tumult and the shouting dies;
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice.
, An humble and a contrite heart,"
wrote Kudyard Kipling. And in those
lines we find the secret suggestion of
the utter vanity of pomp and cere
mony, of riches and position, of
achievement and adulation as com
pared with the rich beauty of feeling
which can well up in the human heart.
The "durable satisfaction" of life
are the things which a man who longs
for happiness must idealize. The man
who visions himself, not as a success
ful engineer, but as the man who
ftives to his fellow men a road for
traffic through hitherto unpicrced
mountains, has an ideal which can
bring him happiness.
The money his calculations .may
earn for him, the praise and position
his achievements can win, arc only
stimulating to pride and sell-esteem.
They are brilliant and beautiful to
look at. But the engineer cannot warm
an emptv heart with them or satisfy
any of his natural human longings for
love and companionship.
I often wonder whether the life of
the great "K of K" was a success or
a failure! Did Kitchener want to he
a great soldier, a leader of ,meu so
that his pride might bo satisfied and
so that he might experience the joy
of standing alone on the summits?
Or did he want to help his country
and his countrymen?
If he was working for himself, the
great English soldier was a failure,
even though he was a hero. If he was
