These cogitations must have made
her late, for she merely called good-by,
without entering her sisters room, and
evidently failed to hear Il request that
she bring the new bonnet in to keep
Miss Miranda company. On her re-
turn, it seemed to the invalid that she
delayed long in taking off her wraps,
while her description of Ems bonnet
wns of the vaguest.
II suppose Job Carter was more in
teresting than mere bonnet" re-
marked Miss Miranda, scornfully.
And Camilla replied, almost boldly:
"He walked home with me, anyhow, and
he's coming to take me to Wednesday

after her own bonnet had been duly adj

''Never until to-day" En- replied, de-
murely. "Why did you have them alike,

With gasp, Miss Miranda held her
treasure closer to the light. There,
clear to her scrutinizing gaze, were two
tiny perforations made by unauthorized

"What then?
"a thousand million people, sons of

their minds To-day, on the contrary,

The observance of Easter Sunday
throughout Christendom is not only a
memorial of the central fact in the
Christian religion, but gives occasion
for variety of beautiful customs.
With the earth bursting forth in it's
glories of budding plant life, and the
heavens glowing with a warmer sun,
and all nature smiling through the
fresh fragrance and subtle warmth, it
is a fitting season for the chief festival
of the Christian year. "The Bright
Day in the East" is the bright day in
the west, and wherever the sun shines
the ancient rites of the Saxon goddess,
Eastre, born in paganism, have been as
simulated and given new meaning in
the Christian civilization of this later
day.
The gaudy decorations of the heather
races, which were the tangible express
sion of their festival delights, have an
ample suggestion in the personal dis
play that is now one of the attributes
of the Paschal feast. No pagan god
dess could address herself more direct
ly to the preparation of her Eastre
raiment than the woman of to-day to
the selection of her Easter costume
But no idle variety mars the delights
of the present custom. BY most de.
sirable consensus this day is reserved
for the first appearance in the gar.
ments of spring, and as if swayed by a
magic Christian wand the dark and
heavy attire of winter falls away an6
there stand revealed the bewilderine
beauties of new life.
From the rising of the sun, the frs
symbolic event of the day, there is {
series of events that complement eacf
other in testifying to the more seriou:
import. No memory is more lively il
after years than that furnished by TIL,
various egg customs of Easter handed
down from ages gone by, and no Gus
tom is more directly suggestive of thu
new life it typifies. But through then
all, says the Chicago Tribune, runs thu
central idea of JOY and reverent happi
ness, a day to rejoice in, a day for ligh
hearts, a day for the renewal of all thu
forces that contribute to the better lif
of the world, in fact, Easter day.

"No, not now, Dora. Be quiet, like

''Dora," said the mother, very Grossly,
"if you do not be still shall punish you
when we get home"
But, mamma" said the child, "his
head amt blue like my eggs is goin' to
be, is it?"
Without word the mother lifted the
little girl down from the pew, and talk
ing her by the hand, led her from the
church. Her face was rather red, but
not entirely vexed, for she knew every
one was looking at her, and she was
conscious of having the most expensive
hat in the congregation. And the last
| thing heard the little girl say was:
81 guess they hain't got any chickens
| in this church, has they, mammal"

only apparent. CHANGING out of the
window as she spoke, she saw Job Car

lasting shades. Mighty was the adj
vance from the tristful wall of the
Hebrew poet, when he sang the despair.
ing threnody: Man is like the beast
which goeth downward" and the sub
lime, triumphant prose-hymn of Paul:
"Now is Christ risen from the dead
and become the first fruits of them that
sleep"
The church in all its ages of existence
las logically maintained that Easter
is the brightest and best of all the holy
days of the year, properly interpreting
those words of the great apostle to the
Gentiles: For If Christ be not risen
from the dead, then our preaching is
vain and our hope is vain" Moses met
death on Nebo's cloud-girt peak, while
angels only made his burial sure;
Elijah was borne heavenward in a char
lot of flame. Jacob, his head on a stony
pillow, saw the pure spirits of Heaven
ascending and descending, from the
celestial to the terrestrial sphere;
Enoch walked with God and was not.
Adam, Noah, Isaiah and other worthless
heard the voice of God and felt the
benison of His blessing in their souls.
But no responsive call had ever come
up out of the illimitable depths to the
anxious inquiry: ''If man die shall he
live again?" The Hebrew theology and
literature were saturated with mate
rialism and one of the most influential
of the Jewish sects denied the doctrine
of the resurrection. 1t is true that job
saw through the gloom the glints of
the promise when He said: II know
that my Redeemep2ive and that He
earth; and though after this life worms
destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall
I see God" Yet the Uzzite cursed the
hour in which He was born and the
womb which gave Him birth.
Christ had overridden death in the
calling back to life the daughter of
Jairus, the son of the widow of Main,
and the brother of Mary and Martha
But these miracles were regarded moro
as evidences of His personal power than
as precedent for the calling back Of
others to life. The grave was the pit
of everlasting silence. Man went down
to it mourned by his fellows, who
thought the farewell eternal.
Bethlehem is forever sacred as the
spot of His divine nativity; Golgotha is
precious as the scene of the sublime and
awful tragedy, but the tomb of the
Arinlathean is the climax of Christian
hope, the diapason of His faith. What
boots the life that is, with it's load of
cares, its floods of tears, it's signs and
groans, its sins and disappointments,
if the dead rise not and they that sleep
in Him shall not be raised? Better the
stroke of the death-angel in childhood's
| first hours of unconscious suffering,
sooner the fatal breath of the pesti-
lence or the sure blow of the electric
bolt in the flush of young manhood,
| than that one should toll on and suffer
on to senile age, only that he may fall
finally into a pit that may not be
reached by the ringing blasts of Ga
briefs horn.
Bless God for that dear old word, I'm
mortality! Praises for the witness OF
the tomb and the final triumph of the
Nazarene. Hail the resurrection morn
with its glorious assurances that they
who sleep in Christ shall finally rise
with Him.

of Italy play upon instruments and sing
before the shrines of the Virgin Mother
of Christ with the poetic idea of assuag-
ing her grief for the death of her be-
loved son. Italy pays great attention
to the decoration of her churches, and
the decoration in Italy is probably more
elaborate than in any other country.

II am the head of this family and the
head Of the family is The one to wear the
new bonnet!'
Her speech was trifle ambiguous.
but her meaning was clear; Miss Mi
randa seldom mentioned her numer,
GUS years-when she did she meant to
take advantage of every one of them.
"It's no use,' said Camilla, to herr
self. eff she intends to have new bon
net she willard we must diet for It'll
I sha'n't tell Luke about it yet" She
added.
And she knew of what she spoke, for
genteel poverty was the family fate,
and Miss Miranda was a housewife who
made one egg do duty for three, and
who had difficulty in finding either
the butcher or his assistant at leisure
to wait upon her when she happened
to do her own marketing. She was a
morsel of a woman with a will of steel
and mild blue eyes which made people
who did not know her fancy that she
was easily imposed on-until they tried
1t. The why hair was always decorous-
ly curled, her own sister knew not how,
but sundry twisted bits Of paper,
found in sweeping, caused her to draw,
her own conclusions.
It was the second Sunday in Lent be-
fore the ostensible head of the family
knew what was before him. He was
seated at the breakfast table, and,
glancing at the dish before him, he,
said, in coaxing tone:
Don't you think, Randy, that liver
and bacon sort of pail on the appetite
after you have eaten them for eleven
consecutive mornings?"
Luke Harrison" cried his elder sis
ter, "you have no appetite, and, now
that notice it, you look sallow, too.
Go right upstairs to bed and pile on
plenty covers while mix you good
hot dose of Grandma Todd's tea. Luck
lily have all the ingredients at hand"
Luke llesitated, looked into her eye
nnd-helped himself for the second
time to liver and bacon.
"What is it this time, Cammilla?" he
Whispered, after Miss Miranda had gone
to dress for church. SIS it home mis-
sions or plush album for the parlor?'
"Worse. An Easter bonnet" she re
turned, dolefully. Then, turning on
her ally, she added: Its because of
En- Gassoway's Dragging, too. And why
En- Gassoway comes here so often is for
you to know!" which was especially
unfair since Luke, timid bachelor, took

and came home in good time, and not
even a more substantial tea than usual
prevented the iron from entering Cam
milla's soul.
Fate, however, is prone to trip us
by the heels, and so it tripped Miss
Miranda on the Thursday before Easter,
as she was coming downstairs in the
dusk, after peep at her new bonnet,
hidden in the spare room" closet.
And the instrument of fate was her
sisters "Dutch blue" apron, dropped by
her in a guilty flight after an unauthor-
lied glimpse at the same object of art.
The result was a sprained ankle, a
sprain of such gravity that Luke and
Camilla, though conscious that by in
curing a bill they cut the ground
from under their feet, sent hastily for
the doctor.
Remember, doctor, that / must go
