rings; without that much extra room, such skirts as were worn by Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Lincoln, for example, at Lin coln's second inaugural would be death to rapid transit and various other things.
 One feeler in behalf of the crinoline has been put out this spring-the long skirt hustle, which is not inconsistent with narrow draperies; it is even re- quired, when all the fullness of skirt IS massed at the back, to bring order out of confusion and to make walking possible.
 Another feeler, to which most people Will think it fanciful to attach any sig nlfeance, is a certain effort to revive long earrings. It works in this way: Many women own fine old pendant ear rlngs that belong with valuable sets of coral or other jewelry. These things are never remodeled because they are helrlooms; few of them could be adapt ea to modernapattenrs. Their posses sors think the time has come to bring them out when paniers and flounces are getting an airing. Thus one more item is added to a list of things that somehow go together and go with crinoline. There is, however, an off setting force in the fact that, while great gold hooa earrings and the like are suited to just few folks whose per sonallty is uncommon or picturesque, the average woman looks particularly absurd when decorated with them.
 But these are long shots of the fash lon forecasters. For the immediate fu- lure the sweeping skirt $ becoming narrower and more sweeping, and its shape is accentuated and dwelt upon oy the long lines of trimming which decorate it from waist to knee.
 The princess dress, which a year ago was pronounced the most trying pos sloie for any but a woman of perfect figure, is now declared to lend grace and dignity to thick and thin alike. I believe it -measurably. One Of the best forms of it is that which crosses upon the hip, easing the diff cut front opening.

is a French fashion that prevents the strained look that many people get in glaring sun when the hat shows it's scorn of the use it was built for. Some of the new hats are expected to be worn over one eye; these are a snare to the woman who doesn't know the right angle.
 Lace-lile blue and brown straws are noticeable. A novelty is the piece straw out of which the milliner makes a hat to suit the face of her customer. The prettiest millinery ribbons are Tn pale tints striped with white eoras.

ITS SIGNIFICANCE.
Why the Great Rejoicing on Easter
 DRN.

'
 Day.
 What is the significance of Easter2 Why is this day observed with greater unctien and rejoicing by Christians than any other day in the calendar, save, perhaps, the one which commem- crates the Saviour's birth? The ex- planation is simple enough. Easter commemorates the resurrection of Christ from the dead and the complete fu1fIlment of His earthly mission. Had He merely languished upon the cross without rising from the dead again on the third day His work would have been unfinished, and, save for the spotless example of heroic living which He gave the world, mankind would have been but little better off. But since He burst asunder the bands of the tomb and came forth again in the purple twilight of the worlds first Easter morning there is given to every Christian the joyful hope of like triumph through Him who is ''the resurrection and the life"
 In the coming of Easter at this sea- son of the year there IS most ex- quisite harmony. Nature herself in symbolic fashion renews the mystery of the first century as shemerges again into the full-blown loveliness of spring! As the Christ light of this hallowed day dawns upon the world, may it soften every heart into gratitude and touch every lip into praise of the worlds risen and glorifed Saviour!- Atlanta Constitution

-- hAFst A-httf~tA- RtNl f-A N4O liz Ill-Fated Heir to the French Throne
 Befriends a Lost American Girl.
 One winter when l was small child at school in Florence, Italy, an incident occurred that 1 have cherished ever since with an especial degree of pleas ure. The morning of which I wro4s was a sunny and beautiful one during Lent, and I accompanied my mothev to II o'clock service at Santa Crooe church.
 Dropping my mothers hand I stopped in front of group of marble angels, and when I turned away I did not see my mother anywhere and I began to look for her in eager haste, and as the thought came to me that I was lost the tears sprang to my eyes and sob came up in my throat.
 I turned into the great central nave and ran against boyish-lool1ing young fellow dressed in a black suit A bunch of violets I held in my hand fell to the floor i'll the encounter, and he stopped quickly and picked them up, returning them to me, with an apology in French. Seeing the tears on my cheeks, he bent his head and asked me what was the trouble. His voice was so kind and sympathetic, 1 broke down at once and with an audible sob, 1 told him ! had lost my mother. Then 1 looked up in his face and asked him in French if he would help me find her.
 !, LII me how she looks and where you left her. And do not cry. We will be sure to find her.
 Feeling much comforted, I slipped my hand III his and we began the tour of the church. But we could not find my mother, and my companion said: We will go to the entrance and wait by the large door until she comes out. That will be the best way to find her, for she will think that you may try to leave the church, and she will know she can ste you best there. She may be waiting there for you, now. Cheer up, petite"
 We slowly made our way to the door, and on reaching it, the first person l saw was my mother. watching for me.
 "There she is!" l cried, ieyfully, hur- rying to her and still elasping the hand of my new-found friend "Oh, mamma! l was lost, and # it had not been for monsieur, l would never have found YOU! was crying when he saw me. And while I threw my arms about her, sshe turned to the young stranger, and asked him 10 let her know to whom she was indebted for the kindness to her little daughter The young man took out his card case and, with 3 smile, handed my mother one of his cards. On it was engraved Prince Louis Ma poleon.'
 Then he said his mother was at mass in one of the chapels and would be waiting for him, and with a bow to my mother and pat on my cheek he left us and reentered the church.
 A few minutes later he appeared with ex=Empress Eugenie leaning on his arm. She was dressed in deepest black, and 1 remember her wonderfully sad, sweet face.
 Among my dearest treasures in Q cabinet at home is a little satin box, i'll which there is small bunch of with cred yiolets. With them is the card on which is engraved the name of Prince Louis Napoleon"-a name that, at one time, was one of the proudest in the world, belonging to the heir of the i'm. perial throne of France.-Chieago h. ter Ocean.
