It is difficult to ascertain the precise
origin Of the graceful custom so uni
versal in France and Germany and
more or less prevalent throughout the
world of offering eggs at the festival
of Easter. The Persians give each
other eggs at the new year, the Rus
SLAMS and the Firms at the festival of
Easter. Among the Romans the year
opened at Easter, as it did among the
Franks under the Capets. Mutual
presents were bestowed; and as the
egg is the emblem Of the beginning of
all things, nothing better could be
found as an offering. The symbolic
meaning is striking; eggs are the germs
of fecundity and abundance, and we
wish our friends all the blessings con-

the younger members Of the family.
There are many ways of colOring the

IS impossible to say the exact quantity
of chips required, depending on the
quantity of water used, but it can easily
be ascertained when the LIQUID is suffi-

spoon before putting In the egg. For
brown eggs, boil them In coffee; for
yellow eggs, in onion Feelings. Cochi-
neal viii make eggs any shade, from
deep crimson to a lovely pink, accord

of colOring eggs Is to wrap the eggs in
pieces Of silk of different shades, place
them carefully in q saucepan contain

been dissolved a lump of common
washing soda, and boil for an hour
then remove the silk covering and
allow the eggs to cool gradually.

making it unfit to eat. Eggs may be
made to assume a sort of marble ap-
pearance by boiling them In a piece Of
tartan silk or in several pieces of
coIored silk sewn together and tightly
wrapped around the eggs. Bought
dyes, such as Judson's, may be used as

The SimneI Cake.
ginning

A very curious old Easter custom in
Shropshire and HerefOrdshire, Eng
land, is to make a rich and expensive
cake called a simnel cake. The cakes
are raised and the crust is made of
fine flour and water with enough SAT
from to give 1t a deep yellow color. The
interior is filed with materials Of a
very rich plum cake, with plenty Of
candied lemon peel and other good
things. They are made up very stiff,
tied. up In q cloth and boiled for several
hours. after which they are brushed
over with an egg and then baked.
When ready for sale the crust is as
hard as If made Of wood, a circum-
stance which has given rise to various
stories of the manner in which they
have at times been treated by persons
to whom they We're sent as presents,
and who had never seen one before,
one ordering his simnel to be boiled to
soften It, and q lady taking hers Tor a
footstcol. They are made of different
sizes

bonnet. "He didn't inclose any card
to mel" she commented, bitterly!
ooh, no! just sent me this ugly old
thing"
When Philemon, radiant at the pros
pect of his reception, entered his home
that night he was confronted by a red
eyed, irresponsible, and resentful little
lady.
"W-what is it, dearest? Didn't you
get the-the hat ?"
"NO, I didn't get the hat, retOrted
his wife, with a singing emphasis on
the pronoun, which was quite lost on
her innocent spouse. 81 got a hideOus
little bonnet.
Wasn't it the one you described ?"
queried Philemon, aghast.
A look of crushing scOrn was the
only answer he received. That very

She stopped to pick up the card which
had fallen on the rug. In blank as
constituent she read the line thereon.
In Wild suspicion she re-read it. In an
agony of doubt. bewilderment, misery,
she perused it again. Her husband
had sent Dora the very hat she had de-
scribed to him! Hadn't she heard
rumors of his having been attentive to
Dora long ago? But now that was
his writing-and his name! with his
dear lOve-Oh! But Dora would be

Mrs. Kesterson restored the hat and
card to their places in the box and
tied up the latter. Then she drew

the house, and hurried home. There

When the two gentlemen entered
Palmer's, Mr.. KestersOn explained to
the saleslady who waited upon them
the particular features of the partic-
ular chapeau his wife desired. At
least, he endeavored to describe them.
"The color had two names, he said,

"Has it tips? She said the one she

"Dear me, yes" replied the sales

Every florists window noy shows q
mass of Easter lilies, a popular
name applied unfortunately at this
season to several differing varieties.
The original Easter lily" is LiIium
candidum, q native of the Levant, and
one of the oldest known species. 1t
displays a panicle of snowy flowers,
usually from four to eight in number,
buds and blossoms together. This
is the lily usually represented
in devotional pictures. Two other
varieties often referred to by the
same popular name as the preceding
are the trumpet and Bermuda lilies.
The first IS noticeable not only for the
length Of its blooms but also for It's
firm texture and lasting qualities.
However, the Bermuda lily, which IS
very similar to i. candidum, is now
grown more extensively than all the
other sorts put together, in spite Of
being rather lacking in substance.
The bulbs are inexpensive, being i'm
ported from the West Indies, and the
flowers are very readily forced. They
may be lowered by Christmas, while
other varieties are much later. For
forcing, the bulbs are potted in the
autumn or early winter, being kept in
a cool PLACE until the pots are filed
with roots; they are then brought into
a warm hOase and treated to a gen
erous diet. They flower from eight to
ten weeks after the change in tenn
perature. A house full Of Bermuda
lilies is a glorious sight In the bitter
winter weather; everywhere straight,
shining foliage and proudly held stems
with crown Of buds and blossoms.
As soon as the bud unfOlds the florist
removes the anthers from the stamens,
lest the Immaculate purity Of the calyx
should be sOiled by the fairy gOld-dust
| of its pollen.
Another Easter lily is the familiar
Gala. 1t is not lily at all, being an
arum. Our familiar jack-in-the-pulpit
is one of its poor relations. The large
whi>3 bract which apparently forms
the flower is h reality the spath which
protects the true infOrescence, the
yellow spike in the center. This spike
is close mass of tiny flowers. The
stately habit and fine foliage of the
caTa make it so decorative that it
never really goes out of fashion, like
many of its peers, for, alas! tickle
fsshiOn, like many of it's peers, invades
sven the realms Of nature, and the
flower Of one season is relegated to
oblivion during the next.
While the lily typifes the glories of
the resurrection, passion-fowers are a
symbol of the pain and sorrow of the
three great days. A devOut fancy
makes every part of the flower en-
bIematic of the Passion; the stigmas
represent the three nails, the anthers
the five wounds, and the curious rays
of the corona the crown of thOrns; the
ten petals represent the ten faithful
apostles, the digitate leaves the hands
of the prosecutors, and the curling ten
drills their scourges. 1t is a beautiful
fancy, more suggestive of Gerarde or
Tradescant than of our modern bOtan-
lists, though they do 8ot all belong to
the Gradgrind school.

"You are i'll, Augusta, or you are

Mrs. Kesterson rolled between her

quite pathetic tremble in her voice.
"Weu?" queried her lord.

Mrs. kestersOn.
Philemon stared.
"Why, my dear Augusta, it is only

Il know, darling; but I saw such
lovely faille selling at an absurdly low
price 1 thought it would be swind-
ling you not to buy it. You'd have to
pay so much more, if 1 should happen
to need some in the future. Don't you
see, love?"
Mr.. KestersOn put his hands in his
pockets and leaned back in his chair
He had not been married long enough
to make him either callous or irritable
regarding requests for money.
well, no, my dear; L can't exactly
say do. What is it you need ?"

4 don't want a bonnet, corrected
Mrs. Kesterson. 81 want a hat. A
bonnet makes one look so old"
Philemon smiled benignantly on the
edimpled wild-rOse face across the
table, and thought it would be pecul-
lar head-dress which could impart to
its curves and color an appearance of
age.
"Well, hat, then. How much?"
81 don't know, but did see lust the
very one J want. It was in Palmer's
window-the loveiest hat, all sage
green velvet and surah, and the cum
ningest little curly tips"
Mr.. KestersOn smiled more broadly.
He rose. He kissed his wife.
Money is very scarce, my dear, but
I'll see-Ill seel" And he shrugged
himself into his light spring overcoat
and betOok himself downtown.
If not exactly an old mans darling,
Mrs. KestersOn was the adored wife of
a man considerably older than herself.
