Easter Day."
Good Friday was the great of the fast
year. The custom of hallowing rings and
oftheir distribution by the king long held
sway, and the sale Of cross buns on that
day is still feature Of English town
life: The hallowed rings were supposed
to shield the wearers of them from the
failing sickness" and from cramps; !;
hence the name "cramp rings'' some
times given them. The old pagan
SaXOns, who wandered about the be-
logged island, used to exchange buns in
honor OF the feast of their deity. EOstre.
The Christian missionaries, though they
managed to change the life of the early
English people in many respects, could
not persuade them to do away with
their Eostre buns. So, in accordance
with universal practice, the priests
sanctified the pagan custom by arrang-
ing to have a crossmark placed upon
the buns and thus gave to England
'.hot cross buns" Among the supersti-
tlons connected with Good Friday were
the belief that bread baked on that day
possessed some indefinable charm which
would benefit the housewife who pre-
served the bread during the year, and
that children born then possessed the
inbOrn power of curing themselves of
any sickness. Saturday, or Shut-in-Sat-
urday, was a sort of off day for English
local sports or customs, and the people
prepared themselves cfor the hundred
different ways in which Easter week
was welcomed.

ST. VALENTINES DAY.

Never was the day set apart for st.
Valentine more gracefully devoted to
him than it was last Tuesday by society
In this city. In the afternoon Mrs. +.
b. Clarke threw open her elegant home
on Summit avenue to her lady friends
and entertained between 800 to 400 from
3 to o'clock. The floral decorations of
the rooms on the lower floor added to
the charms of a scene that must have
made any man tantaliZed by a glimpse
of 1t wish TO goodness he had never
been obliged to take off his dresses. The
day has come when a woman can
go out with the girls and enjoy herself
every bit as much as ever her husband
did, having little finn with the boys"
1t Is presumable that saints can see, if
they are above eating. The Offering
which Mrs. Clarke'S refreshment table
made to the eye was doubtless planned
with careful consideration for the pc
cullar needs of saints, as well as those
Of-angels, commonly called women.
In the center of the table was mirror,
which reflected a huge bowlful of
1onQuilS and was bOrdered with yellow
tulle. Bouquets of jOnquils in dainty
holders were irregularly placed, and,
with the soft light of yellow candles
shining from beneath yellow shades,
was pretty enough to suit the
taste of the most exacting.
Mrs. Clarke was assisted in receiving by
Mesdames Morton, Barnum, Bates,
Selmes. Furness, Perrin, Jilson, Flagg,
Peet and Misses Perrin, Smith, Gordon,
Bend.
The toilettes of the ladies were partic-
ularly fine. Mrs. Clarke wore a gown
of violet velvet and pink brocaded satin,
nc.
striped gauZe and satin; Mrs. Bates
wore an effective gown of black lace
over white silk, black moire sash and
diamond ornaments; Mrs. Selmes was
charming in white tulle, unrelieyed by
any color; Mrs. Furness' dress was a
combination of Nile green silk and
black lace with jet trimmings; Mrs.
Jilson wore purple moire; Mrs. Thomas
Cochran, black velvet and jet, diamond
ornaments: Mesdames Peet, Perrin and
Fiagg, black toilettes, diamond orna-
ments; Miss Smith, pale blue tulle and
satin; Miss Bend, silver tissue and
white brocaded satin; Miss Gordon,
heliotrOpe tlOwered silk and tulle, pearl
ornaments.
AN EVENING OF VALENTINES.
Judging saints above hy saints below.
perhaps, and so concluding one can not
do too much for them, Mrs. Clarke sup.
plemcnted her afternoon entertainment
by one in the evening, which was dis
tinctly in honor of St. Ealentine--and
Misses Tighe and Furncss. In addition
TO the usual formula, the invitation
cars read: ''You are requested to write
and bring at least two valentines" AS
the guests laid aside their wraps they
deposited their valentines in boxes,
which, IS soon as filled, were carried

That organ-grinders din:
Most dismal sound in all creation,
A music that's sin!
But when went with spirit groaning,
And accents wild. though sad,
Beseeching him to stop that droning,
Or he would have me mad,
He stayed his crank and stared in wondel
Indignant cap-a pie;
ut makes yoII crazy docs it! Thunder.
What dye think of me?"
