NEW FADs IN EASTER EGGS.
What are your Easter eggs? Golden ones, l
hope We used to be satisfied to have them of
sugar or of flowers, but nowadays there is a
golden egg just the size of that laid by real
hen, and which, when it is opened, allows in its
downy nest little ring, brooch or a trinket
of some sort to repose. Less expensive eggs are
those Of sivered bronze that may be used as
paper-weghts, or be one among the little trifes
that form the bric-a-brac on your table. I'm
doubtedly the most suitable of all the eggsis the
big sugar one filled and overhowing with sweets.
The very general custom of sending flowers on
Easter Day continues, the prettiest mode being
to send growing plants in full bloom. An or
child, wonderful rose-tree, great, tall lily, or
a huge box of forget-me-nots are all counted in
good taste, and certainly cannot fail to be ac-
ceptable. On the sugar eggs very costly spoons
are frequently tied, but
THE wELL-BRED GIRL OF NEW YORK
Soon makes known to the sender of such gift
that it has been a mistake, and that from him
she only take the sweets themselves. An
ordinary silver-gilt tongs cannot, of course, be
objected to, and yards of ribbon--your favorite
color-may be used to tie pthe parcel. An egg
that is going to a newly-engaged girl from her
betrothed is of plain white candy filled with the
finest of bonbons, that rest, however, on a
square of mousseline de sole, edged with very
fine old-rose point. This is arranged exactly as
would be the paper lace, but the giver, knowing
his sweethesrt's liking for fine lace, took this
pretty and seasonable way of sending it to her.
Another Easter box is fiat, square one covered
with mauve satin and filled with the regulation
sweets, and having on top half-opened point
lace fan, tied securely in place, in and out the
pearl sticks, with mauve ribbon. This also goes
to one of the Easter brides.
THE ART OF GIVING.
Isn't it lovely to have money enough to give
whatever you want? But, then, of course, it
isn't always money that is required-there is the
knowing how to give we'll
You want to give with a loving heart.
You want to give something that is adapted to
| the person to whom it is sent.
You want to give gift that will be in season.
You want to give generously, which doesn't
mean prodigally.
You want to give so that there will come to
you as much pleasure as does to him who receiv-
eth the gift.
You want to give ''heartful, pressed down,
shaken together, and running over'' with Joy
and gladness.
You want to give with no expectation of gift
in return. You are giving, not buying or sell
ing.
You want to give with no thought of the
thanks; the graciousness will come to you from
your own heart if you have done kindly deed
You want to give, not because it shall be given
unto you, but because it will bring happiness
some place else.
You want to give as the flowers do of their
perfume, as the sun does of its rays-almost in
voluntarily, and when you get up this Easter
morning to see the sun dance give of your goot
thoughts, of your joyful words as generously a
do the blossoms of their sweetness as they deco
rate the altar of Him who has arisen and pro
claimed that Death is no more.n BAB.
