of Florence.The children were al-; ways deeply interested in these festi-: vais in which flowers and prayers ! formed a prominent part.At thin festival the boy, Dante, met a little girl and was immediately ravished i by her angelic beauty.It is said by J the writer of this story that the j beauty of Beatrice, or as she was oft-[ ener called, \u201cBice.\u201d was strikingly .spiritual and the sentiments it pro-: duced in the heart of Dante were of the purest kind, untainted by even i the remotest suggestion of any sen-j sual affection.It appears that Dan-| te only saw Beatrice a few times afterwards and then only for brief moments, but so deep had been her sweetness and purity that her Image never left his mind, and he early resolved to make her immortal in a manner never before attempted.In this, as we ail know, he succeeded.Beatrice has become the embodiment end symbol of pure and uplifting womanhood to all who have ever in the course of the centuries heard of the poem.Beatrice died at the age of twenty-four in 1290.and it was then that the.plan of Dante to immortalize her took definite shape.-4- CM>CR>OOOOOOC-OOÇf^^ 8\tTH 5 HATH 8.81 o o\to o\t\u2014\t0 9\tLOCAL FORECAST.9 o\to.ft Fair and cold.Wednesday.§ 0 easterly winds, cold;
