yiano practice, and asked so many
questions that an old sea captain VINO
lived near her home gave her the name
of Little Conundrum.
Some days before Easter she went
with her governess into the city ana
saw a woman attired in a black gown,
a black bonnet and black veil. Inside
the bonnet she wore a closely fitting
cap, not at all like widows cap.
OH exclaimed Ethel, Selling the
arm of her governess. Who is that,
Miss Mary? What makes her dress
so? She has a chain al her side,
too!'
That is a Sister of Mercy" answer
ed Miss Mary.
d. Whose sister," asked Ethel.
= "A Sister Of Mercy-a sister to all
who need her"
"A sister to everybody" echoed
Ethel, looking puzzled.
Yes. She spends her life in acts of
mercy to the poor and the rich, too, if
they need her"
Does everybody love herr" asked
Ethel, looking after the black gown.
'Oh, yes. People send for her when
they are in distress. A Sister of Mer-
ey nursed your Uncle Frank when he
was i'll of yellow fever"

"Oh, l wish l was Sister of Mer-
cy" said Ethel, as they left the car
riage and entered a shop, but
wouldn't like to wear that dress"
You need not wear it to be a good
Nurse"
We'll, but l want to be a sure
enough Sister Of Mercy. Cant l have
mark so people will know it,"
ooh, yes" said Miss Mary, laughing,
IF you insist upon a mark, you can
wear badge on your sleeve. l can
easily make one for you"
On Easter morning Ethel put on the
badge which Miss Mary had made for
her of beautiful white ribbon. AS she
returned from church she found bird
with a broken leg, which she BAN
daged. Then she put the little invalid
in a box, which Tom called the hos
pital. Easter Monday her first act
OF mercy was to carry a dinner to
old Uncle Ebenezer, who was a cripple
from rheumatism. He had been her
grandfather's slave, and now lived with
her father at the old homestead, the
Naples.
Look here, Uncle Ebby," said she,
pointing to her shoulder. You can't
guess what that is, can you?"
mo, honey" answered Uncle Ebby,
already beginning to eat.

piled Ethel II began this Easter.
That is my Easter resolution"
Dat, indeed" said Uncle Ebby, abb
sorbed in his dinner. rs you gwine

FavOrite Easter Drink.
ZITELLA COOKE.

In 1899 it has been found necessary
to Stake the Easter thirst with a par
ticular drink invented for the occasion
The one that bios fair to be the most
popular is the liqueur creme de rose,
which comes from Belgium. This is
to be the drink par excellence at the
Easter luncheons. 1t can only be served
at luncheon where all the table dec
orations are pink, for 1t is a rule Of
fashion that colors must harmonic.
The creme de rose Is to be offered at
these luncheons in pale pink glasses
of the general shape of claret glasses,
but somewhat smaller. Several fresh
rose leaves must be floating on the top
of each glass as they are brought in.
More strictly of an Easter idea is a
new drink of creme de menthe and
crystallized sugar-"spun glass;" as it
is better known. This is for a green
orchid luncheon. The green mint" Is
made frappe, and the spun glass" rests
upon it's top, shaped in the semblance
of tiny lily. In this lily. to further
increase the resemblance, is the grated
rind of lemon, sprinkled with gran
ulated sugar. If carefully made this
peculiarly appropriate Easter beverage
is remarkably effective. The spun
glass" and the grated lemon rind at
once dissolve in the mouth as the IL
| quid pours over it upon the glass be-
ing tipped.

An amusing story, illustrative Of the
difference between eyes and no eyes,
is told by the New Orleans Times
Democrat: 81 noticed such sweet dec
oratiye idea on this street yesterday"
said a lady visitor to a New Orleans
friend. while taking trolley ride near
the French market. at was a house"
she continued, hung at all the second
and third story windows with pale yell
low bamboo curtains. They were per-
fectly plain and all of the same shade.
but you have no idea how they set off
the old place. Why, they simply glori-
fed itw "Hu-m-m," unused her friend,
81 don't recall the house. Just point
it out as we go by, will you?" Pres
emily the visitor uttered an exclama-
ton. There it isl" she cried. "The
house of the bamboo curtains! I'm

her friend, grimly. That's not BAN

| Her brother Tom ridiculed it, but
mamma said Sisters of Mercy must be

Every night Ethel hung her cloak
near her bedside, ready to rush out
at the sound of the bell. One night
Tom played a practical joke by ring
ing the bell, but papa's sharp repri-
mand prevented a repetition of his
mischief.
Suddenly one night the bell did ring,
long and loud. Ethel jumped out Of
bed and in a few minutes stood at
Uncle Ebbys bedside. The moonlight
fell on the black face and white head
Shaking his arm with all her might,
she called out, Uncle Ebby, wake up"'
The old man opened his eyes and
sat up in bed.
Didn't you ring the bell? What is

And so it was. Uncle Ebby screamed

will pay for it. In fact. the hat seems
to be in direct ratio to its traditional
bill. Humility has way OF showing
itself in bushes that cost $14 bunch.
Clever French roses they are, with
such natural look that the Fifth
avenue bee pauses to sip of their
painted honey. The price of a single
hat. to be really swell, must be at least
$35. After that, anywhere into the
hundreds. Fifty dollars Is by no means
an uncommon price for a New York
woman to pay for hat that takes her
fancy.

DIDN'T YOU RING THE BELL?"
old Brindle's horns were seen strug-
CLING with the string, which. in order
to reach up to Ethel's chamber, had
been passed through the COW shed. The
smoke had driven her to the open door,
and in making her way she had caught
her horns in the string. Fortunately
nothing was burned except the corner
OF the shed.
Next morning at breakfast Tom,
who had been very brave in putting
out the fire, said, We'll, Ethel, which
is the Sister of Mercy. you or old Brin-
dle?"
But papa said IF she had not been
a Sister of Mercy there is no telling
what a fire we might have had, and
perhaps poor old Uncle Ebby would
have been burned in his bed. Etheps
Easter resolution was noble one, and
l hope it will last until next Easter"
Tom looked at his sister with ad-
miring eyes, and Ethel still wears her
badge.
