Decorating Easter Eggs.

from the Baltimore News.
las Easter draws near the coloring and deco
rating OF Easter eggs is beginning to occupy
the attention of young people," remarked an
elderly lady, noted for her many ingenious lit
tie devices for home decoration. Prettily dec
grated eggs make nice Easter favor to send a
friend instead of the more common card, and
the custom is likely to grow in favor. The
decoration of eggs allows a great exercise of
taste and ingenuity, and beautiful and really
artistic results can be achieved with little
money and the exercise of care, taste and
patience. The first step is usually to boil the
eggs hard. They should be put on in cold
water, which should be allowed to come to a
boil gradually; then the eggs must be removed.
Another way is to make small hole in each
end of the egg with a slender darning needle
and blow the contents out. These egg
shells are much more delicate and easily broken
than the aforementioned Still another method
IS to remove the contents and fill the shell with
liquid plaster of Paris. which soon hardens and
makes a very substantial egg. IT, after some
plaster is run in the shell, few shot are added
the egg will always maintain an upright position.
The most simple way to color eggs is to sew
ribbon or calico that will fade around them
and boil few minutes The skins of the dark
red onions will color beautiful shades of yellow
browns. Tuci will give shades of crimson,
light or dark, according to ehe length of time
the eggs are left in the dye. Indigo dissolved

proportion OF a teaspoonful to quart of the
dye gives pretty blue. Names, dates and
figures can be put on eggs after they are dyed
by tracing the letters or figures with a fine
brush or pen dipped in oxalic acid To
tint eggs any shade, use oil paints Of various
hues. Roll piece of soft cotton cloth into
wad and with this rub the oil paint on the
eggs, being careful to take only a small guam
| tity at a time on the dauber Any one who
knows how to paint can decorate these tinted
eggs very handsomely by putting on each some
appropriate design or motto. For blue egg a
cluster Of lilies of the valley or snow-drops are
charming. Another very suggestive design is q
leatless branch with chrysalis attached and
the released butterfly lowering near. 1t is wise
to choose irregular letters for the motto: gold
or bronze paint can be used effectively in put

factory. variety can be made by selecting
light and dark colored eggs and different sizes

''There is another class of cases." continued
Agent O'Neill, (which there is no law to cover.
There are hundreds of children, both white and
colored, who have parents and who are not
sent to school. They are permitted to hang
about the streets at all hours of the day and
night, instead of being sent to school Such
children grow up to be ragamuffns, and the boys
often turn out to be thieves and many of the
girls begin a life of shame at an early age II
there was a law requiring children to attend
school until they are at least fourteen years old
many of these unfortunates might become val
liable citizens instead of becoming charge
upon the community. In many of the states
all these evils are provided against, and in such
jurisdictions there are fewer criminals and

Some months ago French-looking nursemaid

to her maid, to whom she had given instrnc.
tions, and she trusted that the firm would see
that the girl received proper attention. An
especially elaborate outfit of ladies' underwear
was desired, and the manager took the girl to
the proper department and turned her over to
capable saleswoman. Half an hour later the
saleswoman sent for him. Some $500 worth OF
goods had been selected by the maid who had
paid for them, and was now elsewhere in the
store. The goods were not yet wrapped up
There were sets of Undertaking of elaborate
