wsz AM AW TH Wee TOTO PULCHRH ES! Ala, bar smile makes Heavln rejoice, Eyes of Saints t0 glistm Even angels at l??? voice H uslo their barps to listen, And tlae liglot 0f Maryls eyes Adds a bliss to Paradise. VERY girl endeavors to form in her mind an image of MaryeMary, the Ch the beautiful, the glory of Jerusalem, the joy of Israel, the honor of our people.,, She pictures her as the epitome of feminine loveliness, the aggre- gate embodiment of all that is most beautiful, precious and sacred in woman. In vain she seeks for help from the master artiste creationethe poet,s eloquent verseethe sculptofs like-like marble. Each image falls far short of her expectation; it proves dis- appointing because it is not as beautiful as the beautiful Mary she endeavors to create in her mind. Of this she is certain-Mary is beautiful, beautiful beyond compare. More beautiful than . . . The contemplation of this incomprehensible loveliness finds her repeating a line from a favorite hymn, When Jesus looks upon thy face His heart with rapture The very words challenge her, evoke the seemingly unanswerable question, I glows? Wherein lies the all-conquering fascination of Maryls beauty? To What should she be compared? To what likened? To what equalled? Words are too meager to express Maryls exquisite charms; glowing colors are far too faint to depict her incomparable fairness; chiselled marble is much too weak to portray her peerless beauty. At last happy chance brings to her hand a unique old manuscript whose description of Mary not only confirms the inspired writefs: uAll the beauty of the Kings daughter is Within? but tells in quaint fashion the natural endowments that make Mary beautiful beyond com- pare. It invites appreciation of Mary,s surpassing loveliness. Mary was in everything modest and earnest; she spoke little, and then only about necessaries; she was very courteous and rendered to all honor and respect. She was of middle stature, though some assert her to have been somewhat taller. She had a pale tint, light hair, piercing eyes with yellowish olive-colored pupils. Her brows were arched and moderately black, her nose moderately long, her lips fresh and full of amiability when speaking; her face was round, not pointed, but longish; hands and fingers fairly long. Finally, she was without pride, simple without guile; she had no insipidity about her, but was unassuming; in short, there was in all her ways divine grace? Beauty itself is Hay 8011, and we now, Know float immaculate heauty art thou! MARY LOUISE JUNO
