1t will be very aptly seen by any
one who peruses this article carefully
that the present price of oil of the diff
TENT grades is not what it should be-
Taking the average cost of drilling
each we'll Of say $500 to $4,000, and it
will be seen that there is no money in
the business at the present price of
the oleaginous commodity.
Taking everything into consideration
as narrated above in regard to the sup
ply and demand is it not a fact that
one is perfectly safe in saying that the
price of oil will advance in very
short time, if, as the Standard Oil Co.
people claim, the price is regulated by
supply and demand in the markets Of
the world? The operators seem to
think SO, and until the price of oil
goes much higher than it is at present
there will be very little work done in
the fields in any section.

tractive from the standpoint of economic
beauty in summer dress, than those in
solid colors. Against a white or blue
corded ground the gayest OF field flowers,
in all bright colors, are printed in
wreaths. single sprays or ornate rows.
Such piques trim TO perfection with white
or colored embroidery and lend them
selves most gracefully to the simple
styles of home dressmakng.
Even the smart modistes make these
cotton fabrics up in the form of sailor
blouses with hip tails flaring below the
belt, the wide collar faced with white and
the inner vest topped by a high stitched
neckband. One and all these duck and
dimity, print and bingham suits blouse

The stuff and silk suits demand more
formal front decoration, but no check is
laid upon the fullness of the cotton waist.
Their sleeves moreover have shoulder
flaps that do d.ty where the puff once
was and in the majority of cases the
skirts have gored rufiles set on the foot,
so shaped as To run high up at the back
or merely flaring out all about.
A great many pretty duck coats and
blouse bodies have their great white wide
sailor collars barred closely with black
scarlet or blue soutache braid of silk or
cotton, and deep white cuffs turn back
similarly treated. Down the pouched
fronts are set ornamental buttons Of
white or smoked pearl, and the collar
does not roll away from the short pointed
sailor vest. Instead the vest is visible
down TO the waist line and is either left

should certainly serve as a valuable
thank or peace-offering this Easter at
any feminine shrine.
A good many of the fruits and such
vegetable candy boxes as tomatoes egg
plants, potatoes and squash, are made up
in rough earthenware and colored by
hand where tinting was necessary. The
fat, red tomatoes boast no more delicate
material than the rich red pottery of
which cheap flower pots are composed.
Egg plants are in the same rough, pic

The most expensive method of giving
sugar plumes is delighting the heart of
many a belle this morning. The choco-
lates, etc, are packed in a crystal pow
der box with silver top, or in a bon
bonniere in the form of little open sill
yer umbrella, turned with the handle in
the air. The ferrule end of the stick is
of course topped off between the ribs
and high about the long handle candies
are piled, and the whole effect is pretty
in the extreme. Again their are cana

size of a dinner plate, but not more than
two inches thick. Their decorations con-

THE FIRST ALTAR FLOWERS.

II would indeed have been hold nrri-
tan maiden that would have ventured 70
hasten a nosegay in her gown on Easter
day as she was going TO church Bur
sometimes, for months before. hidden
away in the darkness of closet. she
would cherish few, or perhaps only one
bulb. that toward Easter woi.Id he
brought out and shown To her friends ~
the spring lily" The puritan maiden
excused this weakness to bar na;s,b
bors. The bulb had been given
to her she said; she couldn't let rbe
thing die. Probably she would have
blushed herself at the thought of bring
ing it out in its fulIness exactly on Easter
day. For while Easter shoaId be known
about, it certainly was NOT to be cele-
brated
But as the strain of the puritan's rigid
ness relaxed and with the influence of
the English church il gradually became
the custom all over the country 10 grow

joicing."
The high festival of Easter is as an
clent as the event il Is designed 10 com
nemorate; and as long as il has been
celebrated the custom has prevailed of
removing all signs of mourning from the
church, reHghting the candles and unvelI-
ing the statues and crosses The use of
flowers as decorations is Il much more
recent custom. In England il is first
mentioned by a writer in The C;entlemen's
Magazine, July, 1888 who cGniectures
that: The flowers with which many
churches are ornamented on Easter dav
are most probably intended as enbIeDs
of the resurrection. having lust risen
again from the earth in which during the
severity of the winter they seem TO have
been buried.
In the early days of our country flow
ers were seldom seen as decorations. and
IL is only within the last quarter of a
century that they have been used with
such reckless extravaganza. In fact the
irst attempt to decorate old Trinity
church in New York city for Easter is
still within the memory OF those living

of blossoms, that had been carefully
chosen. was placed in the font on Easter
morning. 1t thought little of sowing dis
cord. But such a furore was raised by
the members of the church against the
innovation that it was thought best TO
remove the intruder before the afternoon
service.
Today flowers are in great measure
the feature of the service. In no country
in the world are they used in the same
abundance at Easter as in America.

EASTER At FUEsTARABIA

At Fuestarabia small town on the
frontier of Spain, the celebrating of
Good Friday and Easter is kept I'D with
much of the ceremony of medieval times.

During the three hours that the Christ

reading Of the seven last words from the

spread handkerchiefs on the stone floor
to protect themselves from the moIdy

AT the completion of the third hour
the figure is taken down from the cross
in most crude fashion Ropes and pu1-
leys are used. The nails are taken ont
the side is pierced and the garments are
divided among the soldiers with every
attention to detail. Finally the figure is
placed In q glass tomb and sealed. The
tomb is then borne on the shoulders of
the guards around the church while. the
people sing in lamentation.
BY this time large procession has
formed itself outside the church in
which only the grandees of Fuestara-
bia take part. It is considered a great
honor. and passes from parent 10 child
This procession escorts the tomb when

A BIRDLEss EASTER.
THE BONNET BoNBoNNIERE.
Pretty Designs Used for offerings of
Easter sweets.


Easter sweets.
The prettiest bonbonuieres, exchanged
today for Easter greeting. are in the
form of abnormalfy big PAPER mache
fruit. There are others quite as inter-
esting that take the shape of prize coun-
ty fair vegetables. An astute dealer in
sweets invented these himself. not only
peaches, pears, apples, apricots, ba-
nanas and oranges of quite monstrous
girth but stately beets. carrots, rad
ishes. tomatoes, potatoes and cabbage
heads, so big and so perfect in imita-
ton of the genuine article that a farmer
himself would take them for the best
garden truck
The cabbage and lettuce heads are
made of green silk. The large artfully
tinted leaves fold close about the capa-
cious but hollow heart. which, for a
consideration. plus the price of the head
itself, the confectioner will fill with
choice Jumps of delight.
The beet, carrot and radish candy
boxes are made complete with green
leafed tops. and it is at first puzzle to
know just how best to arrive at their
desirable contents. A slight twist on
the turf of green leaves growing from
out a beets broad head lifts off a lid
and within lie the seductive bonbons. A
pretty combination this willy sugar plum
merchant has made is a very practical
looking soup bunch-a carrot, a beet,
turnip. one onion and a radish, each one
holding a different species OF sweetmeat
