Miss Lillian, aftcrnard Sister Mary ~.;agdalcn, like her sister, Marie, professed as a religious and bocamo a Nun of the Holy Cross. She was aftcrrmrd Dean of St. Mary's College, Notre Dame, and for tho past three years has been Superior of tho Sacred Heart Academy at Ogden, Utah- She has shoTTn tho greatest devotion to her religious life and uork, and is capable and efficient therein. TTith a delightfully attractive personality, she gracefully adorns the order to TThich she belongs, and is a most valued mc:11bor thoreof. Miss Ilene TTas educated at St. Mary's College, as wore h0r sisters, and became a member of St. Joseph's fine corps of school-teachers than which there is none bettor.

But thoro is o.nothor ossontial olomont ,-:-i thout nhich good seed, good soil and sunshine aro incapable of acting to bring about tho grOi:,·th of a single plant. It is chlorophyl, a mysterious substance that gives to all plant lifo its groan color. It is chlorophyl uhich onnb1os a plant to take t~1c simple clements of nature-carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and others, and make them into the complex substances of Tihich it and its fruit is composed.
