of hosannas The Bitter Cup is passed.
Death is swallowed up in Victory.
But Easter is more than this. Named
for the Goddess of Spring, it is the season
for love-song and hope-song. All Nature
is glad. 1t feels the touch of klndlleT
Light. The bare, brown arms OF the
trees. kissed by Spring, have put on cos
tunes of buds and blossoms and leaves.
Flowering plants and shrubs are every
where; the grass is green and abunaahi,
and Easter lilies and tulips hold theif
white and red faces up toward inc
skies. -,
Men-and the women, too, If they IKE
-canuot he blamed for also decking
themselves in their finest raiment.
With Nature smiling its sweetest ana
Earth covering her barrenness WIN now
ers and verdure is It any wonder that hu-
man beings should desire to appear IN
the most favorable light? They will don
their finest raiment to-day. Spring fash
ions will be shown for the first time.
Every woman thinks her hat dream
though her neighbor may think 1t
nightmare. And they are all
now meditating on the impression
they will make on this the first Sunday
mon which Dame Fashion says Spring
