This year many summer cottagers are
already established, and the Casino is to
be opened May lst-a month earlier than
usual. Some Boston syndicates have been
organized for the purchase of some large
tracts of land aud the building of several

suggested to call the new settlement

fond of this region in Newport. Easter tiow-

nets and gowns. The flowers were those
of the earliest spring bulbs forced to antlcl-
pate theirnormal blossoming from one month
to three. Daffodils, jonquils, snowdrops,
tulips, and showers of lilies of the valley, are
the favorites of the hour. A punch. bowl

green leaves of the lily of the valley is

the Easter cards were many that are real
works of art. Among the finest are ivory
cards, beautifully painted with Easter sub
jects. These will serve their fortunate
recipients as covers to prayer books, poems
and card cases. As for eggs, Boston might
be one of those northern islan0s-the
breeding places of elder ducks, auks, and
so on, amid whose rocky ledges and shelves
one can hardly step without crushing into

Vaterland. The Easter morning hunt is
quite simple. Very early basket of eggs
