On Sunday morning there will be a parade at 9 o’clock, in which the queen and her maids of honor will ap pear, also the U. P. E. C. drill team; girls dressed to represent the allied na tions; Boy Scout companies and mem bers of twelve lodges of the I. D. E. S. order. The procession will end at St. Leander’s Church, where high mass will be celebrated.

She was a professing _ Christian and a member of a certain denomination in her home city, and was fortunate in having left behind her. Christian friends who did not cease to be interested in her welfare.
