plWl : $ ; A Betrayed by a Flower. To the monastery of the Grand Char­ treuse women, as a rule, are inexorably refused admittance, only a very few having had the ^rivilege of seeing the Carthusians (monks of the order) at home. A story is told of a French daughter of Eve, blessed with even a greater share of curiosity than that pos­ sessed by the generality of her sex, who, having heard from her husband and brother of their late interesting visit to the monastery, tried by every means in her power to effect an entrance there, but all to no avail. Determined, however, by hook or crook, to suoceed, she at last hit upon the happy idea,of presenting herself there dressed as a man, managing to persuade her husband to allow her to do so, and to take her with him on his next visit On arriving at the gates of the mon­ astery she entered unchallenged with the remainder of the party, but while in the gardon the conducting monk, leaving her side, gathered an exquisite rose, which he brought and presented to her with a courtly bow, proving that he at least was Jiot deceived by her dis­ guise." She, too, foolishly betrayed her­ self by her ready grace and charm of manner in accepting the rose, which she did most willingly. Needless to say that after this, incident she never pene­ trated into the interior of the building nor saw what she was dying to see, but returned unsatisfied, a sadder and a wiser woman, with a high appreciation, however, of the keen discernment of the cloistered ones.
