Ask ten friends about Easter, when it
comes, and what governs it and nine will
cast around in their minds for an answer.
Why yes, let me see, 1 did know, but why
In the world don't you provide yourself
with calender and not bore your friends
with such stupid questions, they will
at last ask, if their acquaintance and
friendship will warrant such candor, If it
won't they will think it, and politely say,
I'm sorry but I've forgotten" or some
thing like that. The tenth, the wise man
who, knows everything-and more, will
tell you all about it, and probably in
such a way that you will feel very ignor-
ant. Indeed, since we have so many tab
let's and fancy calendars to consult I
think that almanac lore is Cd the waDe.
..The time has almost passed when farm
ers planted their potatoes and garden
truck in the moon, and when the signs
of the Zodiac ruled the plans OF the
season. The allegiance has been trans-
serred to the alliance. But, the Easter
question. II we could only 60 over and
ask grandmother we'd have no need OF
alliances, but since this is impossible and
no alliance is at hand, it takes so much
reading to enable us to pose as the tenth,
the wise man. But I have read little
what / had access to-and have reroem-
bered great deal more. not that may
take the tenth role, but for your sakes.

Die Oster Haas, or The Easter
Rabbit.

Besides the many ancient mythologies
which deal with April gods and goddesses
there is the German myth. or fairy story
of the Easter Rabbit. The white rabbit
which comes little after the manner of
Santa Claus and brings to the good child
rem Easter gifts. And these gifts, in the
country of quaint little Goetchen and
Hans are not always fancy colored eggs.
They are often times men and animals
made from pastry, odd shaped cakes and
any other unique gift that the fairy
fingers of mother-love may fashion.
The Santa Claus story We all have
known always, but remember distinctly
the first time ever heard of Oster Haas
the Rabbit Goddess. A little German
boy in mixture of broken English and
'PennsylvanIa Dutch told me the story,
while his mother would interrupt him
with bursts of merry laughter, much to
Harvey's disgust and vexation. He final
1y exclaimed "you told me it mutter, you
know you did," and was sorry for Har-
ruthlessly spoiled his pretty story. 1
thought she did it because she wanted
to save herself the trouble of making the
nest for the white rabbit.
And great many people will profess
to think these pretty myths, fables and
fairy stories SO dear to the childish heart
are wrong, and it's all because they don't
want the trouble of carrying out their
part of the play. But they ought to feel
differently about it. Help the children
to keep the feast, and keep it merrily.
Prepare the nest or let the children
prepare it on Easter eve then you have
the gifts ready to be found in the morn
ing. Much fun is caused by telling the
children that the white rabbit has moved
the nest, has hidden it away as do the
turkeys and the guinea fowl, then let the
little ones search for it.

many more if the third one could put his
questions into words, I will try to tell
you something of Easter.
An old book tells us that Easter is
a solemn festival which commentaries
the resurrection of Christ.
The Christian OF to-day is not so
solemn an individual as was the old time
Christian, so We have it merry festival
concentrating the resurrection of the
Christ. Aud isn't that us it should be:
Has not the world cause fol- JOY? Should
not the Easter anthems be the merriest,
the most joyful hymns that we're ever set
to music? Luke gives the first words of
the risen Christ, peace be unto you," q
beautiful refrain for an anthem, and I.
Corinthians, chapter Is, contains the
hope of the christian. How many funer-
al sermons are preached from that chap.
ter every year, and the doctrine of the
Easter feast? But you'll hear this all on
Easter Sunday, and you will get sermon
from that very prettiest of all easter texts.
Therefore let US keep the feast, not with
old leaven, neither with the leaven of
malice and wickedness, but with the un-
leavened bread of sincerity and truth"
Yes, let us keep the feast. Did you ever
keep it by listening to Catholic song
service? If you have not you have
missed something very grand, indeed. It
seems little strange to think that so
many nations who knew nothing of the
Christ kept this April feast. The
ancients had period of purity and
flower offerings to the goddess Pales, her
feast was called Parilia, and which cor
responds not little to Lent. The Lat
ms had feast called Pascha. correspond
ing to the Jewish Passover. And right
here comes in pretty remembrance:
at one time ] kept the Passover in this
wise, and to the extent, only, of partak-
ing OF their blessed bread. A sweet little
Jewess, with the loveliest black curls,
black eyes to match and the rosiest of
cheeks and reddest of lips, typical jew
ish face, brought me, one April morning,
a neat little package, saying, Il presume
that you have never seen any of our un-
bread. We have no synagogue
but we observe the Passover. The Rabbi
at Cincinnati sent the bread and mamma
gave me some to bring to you"
And thus does the school teacher get
her share of every thing rare AMI novel.
The first flowers, the first fruits and the
first offerings of the child's heart. At
least if she doesn't ii is her own fault.
The council of Nice fixed the date of
Easter to be the Sunday which falls up
on, or Immediately after the full moon,
which occurs next after the 21st of March.
And right here is most interesting lit
tie story. Get your teacher to tell it to
you. The story of the calenders, the
Julian and the Gregorian calendars.
The 4th day OF the moon is by calendar
called full moon.
So you see Easter is what is termed a
feast. and it controls the date of
many other feasts.

the brutal murder OF Mrs. Noah Gregory
has recently been traced.
The "Whyo' gang was long famous in
the old Five Points region of New York
city. 1t was supposed that the last re-
mains of 1t were rooted out, but all the de-
tails of 1t were recently brought freshly to
the public mind by a singular and, II the
word be correct, romantic murder. On "A

1t seems like a ludicrous ending TO a
bloody contest that france should pay
tribute to that sa~nguinary old wretch, the
king of Dahomey. Yet such is the fact
and considerable difficulty was experienced
the other day when payment was made Of
the first annual pension" Thu savage
monarch is suspicious and can count only
as high as 100. Eventually the silver, in
which the pension was paid, wa done up
in packages of twenty ive-franc pieces
each and these packages were delivered
one by one to the forty chieftains whom the
king had summoned to see that he was not
swindled. Upon the delivery OF each pack

a shell. When forty shells had been laid
aside, the bookkeeper indicated to the other
chieftains that the payment was complete,

The Bedford cord bids fair for success
for second best, but ladies' cloth is be-
yond all means the favorite. 1t is very
closely woven and has a satinlike sur.
a which throws trimming up into
prominence, so that the simplest garni-
ture makes it elegant.
Two beautiful new promenade toilets
which l send you are made Of this su-
perb material, which costs twenty francs
a yard and even more. One is elephante
girls, and the tablier is draped upon the
left side, which shows a plastron of
white drap braided with black soutache
and gold. A very narrow Topped braid
ing in black soutache outlines the red
ingote sides. Around the bottom is a
narrow band Of Astrakhan, which ex-
tends up the side breadths and also gar
nishes the cuffs and collar. The back is
princess form. The front opens in a
novel name at the waist and is faced
with brown chocolate faille. The hat is
plateau shape and is trimmed with tips
and pale pink ribbon.
The other costume is of biscuit col
ored cloth simply bound with Astra-
khan. The belt is of green velvet and
buttons with our green velvet buttons.
The corsage falls away in a berthe, leav-
ing q green velvet guimpe, and the
berthe, which forms revers in front,
reaches the waist line in the back in
brelette style. Down the right side is a
gold and green passementerie ornament.
The hat is a plateau of felt with green
velvet crown, ornamented with shaded
ostrich plumes from cream to orange.
Gray suede glovest
These two gownsform the keynote to
all of the promenade toilets for early

When attired in the artistic white gown
designed by her brother, Frederic Shaw,
the sculptor, which falls in graceful
folds from her cleaning white shoulders
and reveals the entire length of her beau
tifully nodded arms and her perfect
hands, and seated at her exquisite Pari-
sian harp. she makes a picture which
the eye loves to dwell upon. This pic.
ture is varied by the different surround,
ing entertainers vieing with one another
to make it more effective. Nowhere is
Miss Shaw seen to better advantage than
in her own tapestry hung music room at
her home on Marlboro street, Boston.
There she is surrounded by every lux.
ury. Rare and beautiful things picked
up in her foreign travels make the room
interesting as well as attractive.
In her musical education she has had
every advantage that England and the
Continent of Europe can give. John
Thomas, harpist to Queen Victoria, was
one of her instructors. Last year she
was paid the honor of being invited to
play before her majesty, but owing to
the critical condition of her fathers
health at the time she refused.
Miss Shaw comes of a talented family,
both in literature and art. Her brother,
to whose work has beer given a prsmi-
nent place in the Paris salon, is that rare
combination, a business man and an art
list. During his fathers failing health
the young man laid aside his own work
and managed the fathers business.
Miss Shaw's charm lies in her entire
self Inconsistencies, her frank, unaffect-
ed and her generous, kindly ma
ture. There is that in the very clasp OF
her hand which impresses one with the
depth of her character. She is devoted
to her art and to her brother. She cares
little for other masculine society.
Though her circle of acquaintance and
admirers is large, she has comparatively
few intimate friends. To those few she
Is leal and true. Her hand is ever
stretched forth in sympathy and aid to
those less fortunate than herself. To-
ward all men, except her brother, she is
rather cynical.
