EASTER STYLES.

Iwonde7 il the majority of the crowds
which win fill the churches this Easter morn
so 20 show their new bonnets )r to really re-
joice that the Lord Is risen. l fear the newly
bonneted crowd will prevail. and the minor.
ity of true worshipers VIII be relegated to
the back seats. Not but what person can
worship and wear a new hat also, but it is
dtfcHlL for one can't help wanting TO know
if the girl in front has two or only one
feather upon her Easter creation. how many
capes her coat has, and if her gloves are new;
all of V ch rather distraets your attention
from ,Ae sermon.
hardly dare predict what orr unfortunate
heads will | ok like this spring. If tho e
awful purple wells are fashionable for any
length of Time the June marriages will be
few and far between, and we will wonder
what has become of all our pretty girls We
can stand hoops, crinoline or such trlles,
but oh. dear MessrS. Worth and Redfern,
spare us purple wells Last week met two
girls who are supposed to possess the aver
age amount of beauty; but where, oh where
had ii escaped to? One had on Il light blue
and the other Il scarlet hat but both were
covered with purple wells. Ye shades of our
ancestors. imagine the combination! l
haven't felt as well since saw them.

How angefic the dear little choir boys will
look this morning and we will think. Can it
be possible that only yesterday they were
dropping hot pennies OH the sidewalk and
pinning kick me- 10 the coat tails ofthe he
nign old gentleman who now occupies the
front pew?" And how harmless he looks
and yet maybe those same little angels will
ohar !, iol- for ha
was mean enough TO stand over the pennies
until they cooled and then carefully pocketed
them.
When the young lady with the new spring
coat OF spies these same angels she will think
of her humiiating experience of the day be-
fore. How can young lady of sixteen sum-
mers be expected to remember anything as
childish as April Fools day. When she saw
that daintily embroidered handkerchief on
the walk her eyes glittered greedily, and
without thought of cOmmiseration for the
unfortunate owner she had STOPPED to pick
il up, when pop! it disappeared down a
knot-hOle. AS she was trying to solve the
problem whether il was q snake or Il mouse
beneath the sidewalk the street suddenly
seemed full of dancing, grinning little imps,
who followed her for a block, all yelling.
Hi there. Miss April Fool" and as she fed
she remembered the by-gone DAYS, when she
used to tie string TO handkerchief; but
why hadn't she recollected it aud saved her
self this embarrassment.

Although they look like angels in their sur
plices, she can't help wondering what little
boys were made for Why rot shut them up
in big tower until they are old enough TO
get married? In that way we would succeed
in having sensible female person TO look
after them and keep them out of mischief as
much as possible. Can't this legislature help
us to some practical law of this nature:
Without them l suppose this wicked world
would be altogether too peaceful and we
would be only too willing to stay on this
planet. Now we have a longing to soar away
to q better and youngsterless world, after
sitting OH a tack, seeing brothers dress suit
put on a broom to brighten the hired girl, or
finding our love letters pasted wide open on
the front fence ''that he who runs may
read
The cherub with eyes solemnly upliftea is
the very one that yesterday offered his
cousin that delicious looking candy; then he
rolled upon the floor-just out OF her reach
in ecstacies of delight, when she bit into an
onion. He knew she intended going to
party that evening She spent the afternoon
in her private apartments stufing herself
with parsley, coffee, and all the other known
remedies for raw onions All to no purpose.
You may crush it. you may do what you will;
but the scent of the onion (?) will cling to it

Perhaps the boys would sing better if
Easter hadn't been on April 3 Too much
must not be expected of boy who has been
screaming April Fool" until he has only an
apology for a lung, and the remains of very
dilapidated throat left And il you had
eaten two green. one yellow and four candy
eggs before church, perhaps you couldn't
sing as well as usual. And the thoughts of
how many more must be eaten before reach
ing Frankie Jones record, weighs as heavily
on their minds as the eggs already eaten do
on their stomachs.
How the small boy does enjoy April Fools
day. / doubt if the glorious Fourth is con-
templated with more delight. Isn't he al
ways happy if he can make some one else
miserable? If he can catch a spider and
swing in front of some poor frightened
female, or drop frog amongst crowd OF
women, heis happy for week afterwards.
April Fools day opens visa of forbidden
pleasure that fairly intoxicates him until a
circus appears and quite overshadows pre-
vious Joys His chums are RECALLED with tales
of how he put pepper in Billy's apple. or
told his sisters beau she was out, when she
Was waiting TO receive him in the parlor
dressed i'll her Sunday best, and you oughter
have seen her when she waited and waited.
