When Caudles We're Used.

In domestic lighting for nearly the first
half of the present century candles held
almost undisputed sway. Old stagers may
yet recall the dimlyighted paTlor, the fire
burning softly in the twilight, where the
elders kept blind-man's holiday. The bell is
rung. and Mary brings in candles, pair or
molds in tall brass eandlestieks. brightly
polished, with snurfers on tray, sharp
beaked sHuffers of steel, with jaws that
opened and shut with snap, and something
sinister in their appearance.
There were plated candlesticks and snuf-
fers, too. for occasions of state, with silver
branches that suggested the spoils OF Jerusa-
lem But there was also a lamp-a stately
edifice OF bronze that lowered over the fam
lily circle at times, and shed a generous and
genial light when so inclined But what q

After the forty days of penance, severe
or not, according to conscience's die
tates, Easter week is always filled with
dinners, dances and luncbeons. This
season il will be featured by the usual ar
ray of novelties spring time is sure to
bring forth
The second fall of Napoleonic power is
promised TO take place at Easter-tide, for
the fashions of the first empire are al
ready relegated to obscurity in Paris, and
the modes of Marie Antoinette are adyanc
ing rapidly into vogue.
On this side of the water the change is
first to be noted in the new coiffure. In
stead of the Sans-Gene and 1872 head
dress, smaI. women, for Easter dances
and dinners, will comb their locks more
nearly after the style of the Princess de
Lamballe and the Duchess de Bourbon
Cont, small colored prints of whose por-
traits are now sold in oval gilt frames,
to hang on either side ones dressing table
and serve as models.
NEW SHADES AND SCREENS.
Other signs of the revolution are made
manifest in lamp shades and candle
screens. The new shade is built of deli
cately flowered erinkled silks stretched
on a frame in the form of four squares,
with a crown-like top and decorated with
crisp little quilted ruffies. The candle
shades are in the shape of Marie Antoin-
cite court fans, or section of Louis Sieze

lamp shades alike are ornamented with
the Inevitable cupids and shepherd girls

TRADITIONS OF GOOD FRIDAY.

The nineteenth century ear has never I'M
dersotod why the name of that most awful
of days should be prefixed by Tie adjective
good" The day represents the tragedy of
Christian history and the qualifying word
seems to mock instead OF define.
However, one has to go hack TO former
centuries TO find that the name is a colrup-
ton. Gods Friday is its probable deriva-
ton, although the Saxons called 1t Long
Friday, on account OF the hours CT service
and fasting done. Its celebration ranks in
point of age before the observance OF Chris
tians.
Americans who seem so lamentahly free
from all traditions, never instil INTO the re-
ligious observance of the day the supersti-
tious customs retained by foreign countries.
AS Christmas is ushered in here by the
shouting at dawn of numerous small boys,
