nests, which they mark with their
names, and then skillfully hide these be-

go and see what the hare has brought.
No one knows exactly why the hare
has been associated with Easter. though
there are many pretty legends giving
reasons. which are as fully believed by
the little German people as the stories
Of the good Kris Kringle. The only diff.
