The herald., 1894-03-25

This ID the day OF the year when air
seems bright and every body throws dull
care to the winds for the "a hours and
proceed to enjoy themselves.
To the society people Easter is better
known by the bonnet than anything
else, except, perhaps. the colored eggs.
The ladies are especially happy, as their
dreams Of the past three weeks have
been realized and they can appear in
their new bonnets. The children, too,
are joyous, and the Rladsome pecking OF
eggs with companions is welcome music
to their ears.
The services in the church are espec-
Tally elaborate. A special feature is
generally made OF the decorations. This
year, however, they will not he so ex.
tensive as formerly as flowers have been
very scarce on account OF the day COM
ing earlier than usual. However, the
artintic taste OF the ladies has, as 1t
always does come to the rescue to sup
ply the deficiency in quantity by
clever arrangement OF the mite of the
flower season.
