INTERESTING DECISION.
Man Can BE n Citizsn of the United States
and II British Subject Too.

The Master-in-C Chambers at Toronto, Cam
ada. handed out decision In which Ii was
stated that man can be both citizen OF
the United States and subject of Great
Britain at the same time.
The case was that in which the agent OF
the New York Life Insurance Company in
Paris. France, was sued by G. II. Bolton on
IL promissory note for $1,000. Tho defendant
sought 10 set aside the writ on the grounds
that he was Il citizen of the United States.
and that she service Of the writ should have
been made on him personally instead Of on
his solicitors. The plaintiffs solicitor, how
over, contended that LanSmuir was both a
British subject and an American citizen, he
never having abjured his allegiance to the
English crown. The Master so decided and
LanSmuir must appear on the writ of sum-
mons, which. according to the decision, was
properly served. The decision established u
precedent.

EASTER FLOWERS.
Madonna Lilies, ACCaciaS and
White rIather Among the
Leading Novelties.

Easter. although coming when the world
is just waking from her long winter sleep, To
deck herself with flowers, is a some what
less joyful festival than Christmas and in
stead or the sturdy hopefulness OF the holly.
it finds its sympathy in the pale and chast-
ened beauty OF tie lily. And this is il
should be. Easter does not celebrate ne w
birth but that resurrection before which
came the sharpness of death; and nature in
the wonders offspring repeats the same lesson
wear by year. 1t is not q new birth, but q
resurrection which She shows us, and the
radiance and lOveliness are permcated oft
times by a subtle sadness. the conscious
ness of the death from which il has arisen.
Instead, therefore, of costly jewels, beau
tiful books, or rare pictures, the Easter
spirit seems 10 express itself most APP
propriately and beautifully in gifts OF
flowers, and so general has this custom be
come that with florists this season has
evolved into the pivotal point Of the
whole year. and they crowd into two or
three days the ordinary business OF months.
Flowers are kept back or forced forward,
beautiful specimens are import ed. ana
many wakeful nights are spent invenilng
new and artistic schemes OF decoration.
Growing plants are still first in favor,
their popularity constantly increasing, al
though cut flowers win be used i'll enormous
quantities. especially for dcbutanteS.
Naturally, the Easter lily is as ever the
faVOTite of faVoritcS. This season, how
ever, the real Madonna lily is also coming
back having bGenrathcr thrust intothc shade
for a few years by the modern blossoms,
from which it differs in having somewhat
shorter trumpet, and only one flower on a
spike.
Accacas are one OF the distinctly new
features in the Easter offerings OF 90.
Some OF them. like the box tree, are trim
med in the form of pyramid or a round
ball. These can be had all the way from
81 to $50, fine specimen ofan unfrimmed
one that the florist pointed out to me sell
ing for $50.
The hyacnths this year come in large
shallow pans instead of the usual pots,
and with a yard OF paper, and two
yards OF ribbon, complete a most dainty and
charming gift.
One is also delighted to find at the
florists this season quite a new variety
of that tender, delicate flower, the spirea-
larger, more exuberant, and less fragile
than its predecessor. This is always one
of the most satisfactory OF Easter offer
ings, and a beautiful specimen Of it eau
he had for $1.5O.
Another quite new and popular plant
is the heather, in white, pale pink ana vio-
| let, and is particularly effective with
| decorations OF silver gray.
Florists are also trying to Introduce an
| entirely new flower called the Andro-
media. 1t is originally an American pro-
| duction, but is sent to Belgium to be
grated and grown, then sent back here
| to flower. 1t is too early yet to prophecy
| as to its popularity.

AS Casters sun brings out the flowers all
over the civilized world, Easter bells bring
out the people. Around ChristeBdom the
the Easter day parade is a recognizetk oe-
curreuce, as well patronized as the Easter
day services. One is a thankfulness to the
Almighty in His earthly temples. The
other is a tribute TO him in His own sunlit
world.
The good garb OF people and trees show
that the day is honored and favored above
all other days OF the year.
ON THE AVENUES.
Easter all round the world is known for
its assembIages of people upon the principal
avenue of the city. There they meet one
another, praise the sunshine, bask in smiles
aud good words and go home when the sun
is cooling TO thank God that Easter comes
every year.
In New York the most picturesque sight
of the year is shown upon Fifth avenue after
the church bells have done their ringing.
During the hours OF service the avenue is
still, with a festive hush lying over it. Here
aud there hurry along beIdted church-goers,
lifting their skirts around them and be-
slowing q last touch upon new coat and
gloves, and glancing furtiYely the while at
the skies above.
In The windows lining the streets stand
forth the Easter fowers-great fair white
things, lying out of tall vases and PeeTing
with upturned faces to the sky above.
They arc messengers OF Easter, as much a
part OF the day ~ the sunshine that brought
them forth for this time
The church hour Is suppressed excite
ment for the avenue. On each kiGe the
street stand the row OF carriages. with
drivers i'll new uniform and horses in new
array, waiting for the honor of bearing
their exquisiteIy fine Easter burdens home.
And down the side streets lingeF other beau
tiful eguipages, the drivers OF which know
we'll that my lady and her escort will take
i walk up the avenue and back again be-
fore stepping into The newl yrobed barouche,
got ready for Easter day.
Soon the churches are out. And the
bells begin the Ginning, which says as
plainly as though chorused:
1t is Easter day-EaSter day
To deck the earth is Gods own play"
And then the tells clang out tie changes
again, sometimes forgetting harmony in
their frantic effort to wake the world to
their o wn degree OF Easter joyousness-
By l O'Clock after noonday the avenue IS
full, literally full, packed and jammed with
people From above YOU see 4 steady
moving mass, passing up one side OF the
street and down he other, each mass sep
arated by ranks on the Inside anil outside as
the sidewalk divides itself in half for pedes-
trlaus passing each other. Keep 10 the
right is the laughing reminder 10 pedes-
trians who. forgetting the smiling, gayiy
dressed crowd moving up behind them,
stop 20 lingeF a minute with friends And
Keep To the right IS the reply that comes
from the phaIaux moving down to meet the
others.
