Go to bed at 10 o'clock for forty nights IN

Let the candy and the sweets and all the

But about the Easter Offering. You
want to make one, do you noti And you
haven't decided just how TO GO about it.
Well, here is a very pretty way:
Getting from any Of the fancy goods
stores dear little sqnatty vase with as
narrow a neck as you can find. Have the
neck just large enough to slip a nickel
through and no larger. Buy yard Of rib
bon just the color Of the vase, and then
when you get home set the lit vase upon
your mantel and tie the ribbon around its
neck.

ing In black and gold upon the front of the
vase. IL so. outline in your pretties fashion
the words My Easter Offering.n
Or, If you prefer something else, you
might write, "In Tokenof Self-denial," or
"My Offering" or IAN for Easter or any.
thing else that might come into your mind
aud seem appropriate TO you.
And now for the work of filing the vase
hope you have not selected very large
one. because the virtue of the Easter offer
ing does not depend upon the quantity of
money that is put in 1t. but rather upon
the quality. The Easter vase should be
filled with pennies and nickels, each one of
| which means a real self-sacrifice
| SuPpose-you dear little girl for whom
this article is being written. suppose you
have been in the habit of stopping
each afternoon for glass of your
favorite soda Soda may be dignified
by the name OF champagne fizz, or it may
be called any of the dozen fancifu
things which are given to the little sweet
drinks dealt out to women over the marble
counters, but which are really, after all
| just the plain soda water that we knew in
childhood, with perhaps drop or two Of
new flavor.
Perhaps you know way down in your
heart of hearts OF some other little extravar
gance of which you must plead guilty, aud
perhaps-just once in a while-you will
| give IL up and put the money which it
would have cost in the little jar for
Easter
When it comes Easter you will have a
| grand time disposing Of the little fund. II
you like. you can give it all in grand
little lump to the church where 1t is sure TO
be put to good USE Or, better still, you

| work on your own account. And all dur
ing the beautiful, quiet Lenteu season you
| may be looking around OF some chance 10
do touching act Of charity.
| Now. suppose you have heen in the habit
of stopping in for glass of this little sweet
drink every dayl And now suppose that,
| just for the sake Of the Easter offering, You
Quit 1t once IN awhile and put the 10 cents
which It would have cost you in the chubby
little vase which is upon your mantel at
! homel
You won't be sorry when you hear the
money falling with righteous little chink
into the little bowl, and you won't be sorry
next lay when you reflect upon what you
have done. nor will you be sorry at Easter
when you take out the pennies and count
them and find that they have grown into
dollars.
Perhaps your Faster offering may find it's
way into some home where there are many
| little mouths to feed and very little with
which TO feed them. Perhaps your Easter
| Offering may 60 as u helping hand to some
Woodworking girl who needs TO be helped a
little to get upon her feet. Perhaps your
Easter Offering will buy lessons in stenog-

| counter, but who is capable of doing better
things. Perhaps your Easter offering will
take some poor girl away for a little holt
| das and will build her up so that she can
stand the heat and the burden of the sum-
mer's oppression.
Perhaps your Easter offering will buy
but perhaps better not say iB-perhaps
better not suggest that the helpful Easter
Offering might be spent in getting few
singing lessons for the chorus girl who could
| become soloist and concert singer il she
were only taught how TO use her voice.
| Perhaps your Easter offering-but surely 1t
| will do good, however it is spent.
And now let mo tell you some old and
| eautiful forms OF charity which have been
spied out and thought out by women whose
hearts are pure gold, who are the salt of the
earth, aud OF whom 1t shall one day be said
well done"
One of these dear, helpful women. she
was Kings Daughter by the way, took a
bright active young girl and had her taught
| all the new dances by the very best dancing
teacher IN town. Then this dear, good
woman introduced the young girl to some
women OF her acquaintance and assisted her
| in organizing very nice and very select
| dancing class. Forty little boys and girls
| joined the class, and the young girl was able
to earn very nice, comfortable living for
| herself.
Another woman sent young girl to a
kindergarten training school, and had her
taught all the little plays and games that
| undergraduates should know. Then she
| introduced the girl TO the guests of a well-
known Saratoga hotel, and In three DAYS
there was a little class organized to re-
ceive morning lessons in kindergarten work
he parents were delighted to have the lit
| tie ones so beautifully amused, and as for
the little ones themselves, they were de-
lighted with their work and with their
| gentle teacher

| planet took a sweet voiced girl and had her
taught what is known as the Desarte sys-
