how were We to stay when there seemed

While cogitating this problem one
sunny day in January strollod into q

the southern shore Of a little ialot. Like

Tho length of spring wraps can be

Black and white laco combined form

are combination Of bolero and cape
and velvet moire chiffon and jet are the
materials employed. A jacket for theatel
wear in brocaded gray silk has cuffs anc
an odd collar of black, with an edgine
of silver cord and rhinestone embroidery,
Spring jackets arc as varied as th'
wraps and como in three differen
lengths, with both high and low collars
so it is impossible to decide yet which
will DO tho leading style. They arc made
of ladies' cloth, serge and melton il
both dark and light shades. and the pail

cate shade of satin is considered yer,
elegant. The Russian style of coat has
place ON the list, and the French jacket
display quite a little decoration beside
buttons and stitching, according to TIN

tional decoration, always satisfying and
suitable to all occasions, says Art Anna

service in New York reports all of her
largest orders as coming in this direc-
ton. They are executed in the highly
glazed tints applied by busting" tho
powder colors upon the surface Of the

of graceful, irregular design ON each
dish. Elaborate scrolls of raised gold or
white enamel or both furnish the orna-
mentation and sometimes bands or IT.
regular spaces filed entirely with dots
of paste and then covered solidly with
gold are added with excellent effect.
For example, ON pretty, quaint

gold band Of very rich appearance,

bowl Is tinted in plain color.

Another piece of exceedingly decorative
nature is a wicker settee, which is low

there arc Easter sports and games quite
unknown TO us.
The Easter festival of our forofathers
covered period of 10 days. The week
beginning with Easter Sunday was al
most entirely given over to sport and
games and general morrymalSing. An
odd feature of tho old time celebration
was that of hcaving or lifting, the
"hoavcd" sitting in a chair decorated
with white ribbons. Easter Monday and
Easter Thursday were known ms hoav-
ing days, the women sitting in n chair
on Monday and the mon on Tuesday.
Those heaSing or lifting the chair were
expected to life IL three times and then
kiss the occupant, who, in turn, kissed
them. To the regret of the lads and las
sizes in the districts where the novel cere-
mony was once performed, the custom
has long since died out.
Handball was formerly one of the
most common Of Easter games, and at
one time a sort of water fitting contest
was much in vogue. Young men would
drift about in boats without oars and
allow the craft to drift against shield
suspended in midstream, striking it
as with lance. If the lance was broken
against the shield, IL was considered a
good stroke and won applause, but If tho
shield was missed or the spear remained
intact the owner of the lance invariably
lost has balance and tumbled into the
water.
In Switzerland q peculiar game is
played at Easter. Large baskets filled
with bran arc placed in a circle some
where on free field or public place.
Then as many rows of 100 eggs as there
are competitors are laid, each egg foot
or so apart from the next the rows
radiafing from the baskets to an equal
distance. The task is 10 put the 100
eggs, one by one, into the basket with
out breaking any, and who does it IN
the shortest space Of time is the winner.
In Moscow, st. Petersburg and other
Russian cities swings and merry sc
rounds are erected for the festival season

BY the time another five years had
passed, in the spring of 1881, fashion
was eager for another change, and the
"Bernhardt poke" had appeared. Being
named for the great actress, the style
was necessarily chic, but, compared with
the creations that are now being made
in her name, it is tame in the extreme.
Chip appears to have still held first
place, and flowers, combined with feath-
ers, to have been combination much
In vogue. A typical hat Of the period,
shown in the illustration, is described as
brown chip, trimmed with yellow
poppies and ostrich tips shading from
jonquil yellow to pale brown" II Is
noticeable that face trimmings had dis
appeared. Bigger hats-hats that were
head coverings-had come in, and the
trimming was placed upon the outside
