A MERRY EASTER WEEK.

The lesson underlying the general JOY
fulness which ,characterizes what Is
known as Easter week is a very beauu-
full one. II the pervading brightness,
the glow and color, signify nothing more
vital and abiding than the vulgar super
ficiality Of a mitth-loving set Of idle peo-
ple,then indeed are they worthless, foolish,
vain. But it seems to me that they
are but radations from a light which
sprang into existence from the interior
OF tomb which represents 10 all ages
the perfection OF sacrifice; the infnity
of love. For this is the season or re-
newed life; the budding trees attest it
and the springing grass. II is but fitting
that my lady" should weave into the
grace OF her gown some of the beauty
md brightness that is smiling all round
her, and that the social music should
harmonic with the gladness of which
the underlying Easter truth sounds the
external keynote. 1t IS only when the
lovely Easter gown means 10 her nothing
have a minister to her vanity, and the
keynote cannot be discerned beneath
the music that the one is ungraceful
and the other frivolous.
