THE CRUCIFIXION Continned ACCORDINGLY, MARY MAGDALENE went and told the Disciples that she had seen Christ, and what He had said to her; and with them she found the other women whom she had left at the sepulchre when she had gone to call those two Disciples, Peter and John. These women told her and the rest that they had (J seen at the tomb two men in shin ing garments, at sight of whom they had been' afraid, and had bent down, but who had told them that the Lord was risen; and also that as they came to tell this, they had seen Christ, on the way, and had held Him by the feet, and wor-s i Him. But these accounts seemed to the Apostles at that time, as idle tales, and they did not believe them. The soldiers of the guard, too, when they recovered from their fainting fit, and went to the 4b 'JT chief priests to tell them what they had seen, were silenced with large sums of money, and were told by them to say that the Disciples had ft stolen the body THE RESURRECTION: SCHOOL OF away while they CARVAGGIO Were asleep.

Continued from first paye and above their heads, on the top of each pillar, arrangements of branches and baby's breath, painted white and tinselled, sparkled as if filled with stars. These exquisite arrangements of branches and flowers, each with its complement of gold and silver decorations and string of lights twinkling, were repeated all around the ballroom, fastened to the balcony railing. Domi nating the airy extravaganza was a tall Christmas tree "montage of white branches and lights which was placed above the orchestra stand opposite the ballroom entrance. The bandstand was banked with snow covered" fir trees and draped with white satin. Small white Christmas trees trimmed with gold balls added sparkle to the supper tables, both in the ballroom and in the Normandy lounge, where another- orchestra played for the overflow crowd.

Enter in Two Columns The debutantes stint in the re ceiving line was ended as eacn was approached by her father or other male family escort to take their places for the grand march. The ballroom balcony was well filled by then, and the bars along the corridor opposite the Normandy lounge lost their; customers as guests assembled to see the start of the presentation of debutantes and the cotilion. Led by Miss Joan Peterkin and her father, Daniel Peterkin and by Miss Judy Hargrave and her father, Homer P. Hargrave, the buds and their fathers entered the ballroom in two columns along the east and west sides of the dance floor, stopping as the leaders reached the bandstand. Mr.

Peterkin and his daughter stepped forward to the center of the platform. Lights flashed on them. Miss Peterkin's name was announced to the assemblage of distinguished families. There was just time to observe the debutante's radiant blonde beauty and her exquisite strapless gown of tulle, made on extremely bouffant lines, before she and her father moved on to the back of their line. Then Mr.

Hargrave and his dark haired daughter, in an equally stunning, specially designed gown of satin-and net, stepped forward to the center of the floor. Ribbon Dance Is First When each debutante had had. her moment in the limelight in this manner, a grand march was held, after which the fathers left their daughters in chairs along side the dance floor and the younger cotilion partners took over. First in the series of dances which made up the cotilion was a ribbon dance, in which each bud and her partner, holding a white ribbon between them, engaged in a sort of gigantic London Bridge Is Falling Down maneuver. Next came a fetching parasol dance, in which the escorts took ruffled white nylon parasols from the favor table, presented them to the debutantes, and moved off to form a revolving circle while the buds twirled the parasols, adding fur ther motion to the effect.

The parasols, incidentally, were theirs to keep, gifts from the gen erous sponsor, which also pre sented gold link bracelets with an initialed gold disk to each debu tante, to remember Chicago's first debutante cotilion. Their escorts received black pin seal cigaret cases, stamped with their names in gold. Buds Ride in Sleigh In gay contrast was the next figure. To a lively "Jingle a white satin lined sleigh was pulled into the room by. six of the escorts "First time I ever saw a sleigh pulled by wolves," quipped one of the fathers, with Debu tantes Peggy Dushane, Helen Studebaker, Betty Jean McGregor and Ann McArthur riding in style and Debutantes Jane Haggerty, Barbara Brown, Gloria Green, Betty MacFarland, Margaret Mary Barry and Jill Miller following be hind.

The buds threw snowballs toward the sidelines, and the lucky escorts who caught them claimed the throwers for a dance. The spectacular climax found the Marshall Field carolers, out of their usual Dickensian costumes and into dinner jackets, spotlighted on the balcony, while the debutantes, led by Miss Peterkin and Miss Hargrave, took wands from the favor table and went to their places on steps at the bandstand to form a Christmas tree. As the carolers- began a merry chorus of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," the buds started flicking on and off the lights in the ends of their wands, and a many faceted ball reflector suspended from the center of the ceiling began revolving, flashing "snow-flakes" thru the room in as pretty a snowstorm as can be weathered in perfect comfort anywhere. First Dance with Fathers A waltz then rang out, and the debutantes were claimed by their fathers for the first dance. After that members of the older generation started thinking of early supper and younger guests began taking to the floor, the colorful gowns of the post-debs and young marrieds' adding to the brilliant scene.

There was a pause while Mrs. Bryan S. Reid, cotilitfn chairman-. These are the 37 debutantes who bowed at Chicago's first Debutante Cotilion and Christmas ball last night in the Stevens hotel: Margaret Mary Barry. Deborah Bissell.

At $12 each, and with all major expenses paid for, this should chalk up the tidy sum of $30,000 from ticket sales to add to the $450 niinimum donation to the hospital required of the parents of each debutante who accepted her- invitation to participate. The net proceeds will depend on the generosity of the parents, as some may have given larger amounts, and upon the results of other money raising means, including the bar tab. In addition to the hospital donation and buying tickets for themselves, their daughter and her escorts, the parents had no expense beyond obtaining a white gown for the bud. But of course a new gown for daughter generally means one for mother, who would not want to turn up in last year's dinner gown at this year's most important ball. Also, there was the matter of outfitting father properly for his duties in the grand march, whether it meant merely buying a new white tie or waistcoat, letting out the old tail coat or going in for a complete new ensemble.

Most Have Debut Parties Long gloves, a corsage for mother and grandmother, perhaps a dinner party beforehand for parents friends, and rooms in a hotel for the night for country dwellers could run individual expenses as high as a Christmas season pocket book permitted. Yet the majority of the 37 buds were having debut parties of their own, some during the holidays, some held last summer. Not every dress was fabulous. The mother of one bud made her own and her daughter's dress as well. Another bud managed to outfit herself with a new dress, slippers, and gloves on slightly more than the $75 budget established by her mother.

Many of the dress suits undoubtedly were rented for the occasion. Lester Armour was one of those who had two tales to tell of his white tie costume. "I rented it, he said to one friend. "The coat is 1926, the trousers are 1949," he told another. Sisters' Gowns Distinctive Sisters who arrived in distin tive and contrasting gowns were Miss Alice Hooper, in terra-cotta brocaded satin, and Miss Anne Hooper, in bouffant green net.

Mrs. David B. Peck wore a so- fisticated gown of black crepe made with a tight skirt, a shocking pink ribbon bodice, a shocking pink narrow ruffle around the hem and a knee high slit in the skirt. Her costume was completed by a cape lined with-the shocking pink and a bag covered with silk flowers and banded in a black net ruffle to match her James Sheldon admitted he pur chased his white kid gloves in Paris in 1931. Mrs.

James Ward Thome's plane to Arizona was grounded, so she appeared at the ball to the surprise of her friends. Her sister, Mrs. Alden B. Swift, president of the woman's board of the hospital, was among the first to arrive. Her handsome gown was of burgundy satin.

She pinned a corsage of green orchids to one shoulder, and was able, in clee? conscience, to breathe a svgs utter relief" after the ball va over.

And having chosen a new apostle, named Matthias, to replace the wicked Judas, they wandered into all countries, telling the people of Christ's Life and Death and of His Crucifixion and Resurrection and of the lessons He had taught and baptizing them in Christ's name. And Peter, being thrown into prison, was delivered from it, in the dead of night, by an Angel; and once his words before God caused a man named Ananias, and his wife Sapphira, who had told a lie, to be struck down dead, upon the earth. Wherever they went, they were persecuted and cruelly treated; and one man named Saul, who had held the clothes of some barbarous persons, who pelted one of the Christians, named Stephen, to death with stones, was always active in doing them harm. But God turned Saul's heart afterward; for as he was traveling to Damascus to find out some Christians who were there, and drag them to prison, there shone about him a great light from Heaven; and a voice cried, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me! and he was struck down from his horse, by an invisible hand, in sight of all the guards and soldiers who were riding with him. When they raised him, they found that he was blind; and so he remained for three days, neither eating nor drinking, until one of the Christians sent to him by an Angel for that purpose restored his sight in the name of Jesus Christ.

After which, he became a Christian, and preached. They took the name of Christians from Our Saviour Christ, and carried crosses as their sign, because upon a cross He had suffered death. The religions that were then in the world were -false and brutal, and encouraged men to violence. Yet. for all this, and tho the Christian religion was such a true, and kind, and good one, the priests of the old religions long persuaded the people to do all possible hurt.

to the Christians; and Christians were hanged, beheaded, burnt, buried alive, and devoured in theaters by wild beasts. Nothing would srlence them, or terrify them, tho; for they knew that if they did their duty, they would go to Heaven. So thousands upon thousands of Christians sprung up and taught the people and were cruelly killed, and were succeeded by other Christians, until the religion gradually be came the great religion of the world. Remember! It is Christianity to do good, always even to those who do evil to us. It is Christianity to love our neighbors as our-self, and to do to air men as we would have them do to vs.

It is Christianity to be gentle, merciful, and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in our own hearts, and never make a boast of them, or of our prayers or of our love of God, but always to show that we love Him by humbly trying to do right in everything. If we do this, and remember the life and lessons of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and try to act up to them, we may confidently hope that God will forgive us our sins and mis-' takes, and enable us to live and die in peace.

When they all three sat down to supper. He took some bread, and blessed it, and broke it as Christ had done at the Last Supper.

Looking on Him in wonder they found that His face was changed before them, and that it was Christ himself; and as they looked on Him, He "disappeared. They instantly rose- up, and returned to Jerusalem, and finding the Disciples sitting together, told them what they had seen. While they were speaking, Jesus suddenly stood in the midst of all the company, and said, "Peace be unto ye! Seeing that they were greatly frightened, He showed them His hands and feet, and invited them to touch Him; and, to encourage them and give them time to recover themselves, He ate a piece of broiled fish and a piece of honeycomb before them all. But Thomas, one of the 12 Apostles, was not there, at that time; and when the rest said to him afterward. We have seen the Lord! he answered, Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe! At that moment, tho the doors were au snut, jesus again appeared, standing among them, and said, Peace be unto you! Then He said to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold nay hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing." And Thomas answered, and said to Him, My Lord and my uoa: Then said Jesus, "Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed.

Blessed are they that have not seen me, and yet have believed." After that time, Jesus Christ was seen by 500 of His followers at once, and He remained with others of them 40 days, teaching them, and instructing them to go forth into the world, and preach His gospel and religion; not mind-ine what wicked men might do to them. And conducting His Disciples at last out of Jerusalem as far as Bethany, He blessed them, and ascended in a cloud to Heaven, and took His place at the right hand of God. And while they gazed into the bright blue sky where He had vanished, two white robed Angels appeared among them, and told them that as they had seen Qirist ascend to Heaven, so He would, one day, come descending from it, to judge the world.
