A Misunderstanding Over Theater Results
in Matrimony.

A misunderstanding over theater
engagement caused one marriage and
second engagement lately.
Michael Wessek, society leader of
Bedford, Ind. is the lucky man who
was benefited by the fortunate blunder
of the young woman who is now his
fianCee.
Miss Craig went to Bedford several
weeks ago to the home of an aunt,
where she had frequently been visitor.
The vivacions young woman soon be-
came a society favorite in the little city.
At several social events she met Harry
Worries, cashier of the Bedford bank,
and one of the most popular young men
of the town. The young people APP

some carelessness a misunderstanding

her aunt's home. while she had planned
to join several other members of the

out the continent of Europe, but all, and
all alike, go back to that first Eastern
morn for the seed thought.
The setting apart of one day in seven
for relief from the drudgery of ordinary
occupation was powerful factor in
the betterment Of the conditions of the
masses. The workaday world may we'll
join in the Easter gladness, for ever
since the Christian religion became
general, and in consequence of its
adoption, the first day in the week has
been an oasis in the desert of toll. The
slave. the peasant, the wage Garner, all
who live by the sweat of their brOWs,
have found and still find life made per-
ceptibly less wearisome by the Christ
ian Sabbath. 1t is as if the Arab could
always see the palms of some spring
before him. reckoning him on and bid
ding him to endure the sun and sand in
the assured hope of enjoying the lux
ury of an oasis one-seventh of the time.
Be the journey long or short, the desert
narrow or wide, one day in seven is TO
be spent under those palms
In the old countries some of the Gus
toms that have come down from gen
Grafton to generation resemble school
boy fun more than religious festivities.
In the northern countries of England
every woman met is lifted off her feet
and kissed by the men, who parade the
streets on osculatory expeditions bent
The following day the women have
their innings and the men pose as I'M
willing victims.
How eggs came to be such a feature
of Easter celebrations is said to be that
owing to this variety of food being
barred from the list of these things
which might be eaten during the fast
days of Lent, a large stock was usually
left on hand when Easter came to re-
move the restriction. The accumula-
ton of eggs had to be disposed of in
some way and, there being too many
eggs to be eaten, the surplus was given
to the children to play with and so
arose the custom of coloring the eggs
that has survived to the present day.

The celebration of Easter is con-
Quoted on magnificent scale wherever
the Christian religion flourishes. 1t is
the greatest day of the year in
ChristendOm, greater even than Christ
mas, for the resurrection of Christ is of
deeper moment to the church than his
birth or death. For what purpose
would Christ have lived and died had
he not risen again from the dead? Spe-
cial musical programmes will be rem

Bedford society had hardly recovered
from the shock of the sudden wedding
of the bank cashier when it was noticed
that Michael Wessek. the brother of
the bride, was becoming most attentive
to Miss Craig, who had been supposed
to be in disconsolate frame of mind
over the turn things had taken.
If Miss Craig needed consolation it
was furnished her and rumors which
soon began to be circulated in Bedford

by the young woman to her mother in

that Mrs. George Law of New York and

women may follow their example. Sarah

FEAST|NC SOON TO FOLLOW FASTING

The days of penitence are nearly
over. Bright dawn next Sunday takes
the place of the dark night of Lenten
solemnity and somber garments are
exchanged for the gay garb of Easter
Instead of gloom, we have flowers,
songs of rejoicing, pealng organs
bright anthems, praise and thanksgiv-
ing. Also the beginning of welcome
spring. 1t is well to bear in mind what
it all means. To many it matters little
that the festivities have a deep under
lying purpose, but it does no harm to
be remindful of the fact that the Chris
tan world unites next Sunday in cele-
brating the resurrection of Christ and
pours out its wealth of flowers and
song in grateful remembrance of the
all important event in the Christian
era.
1t is interesting to note how the name
came to be given to the festivity. 1t
was 800 years after the death of Christ
that the date of the celebration of His
resurrection was definitely settled by
the church. The name was taken from
the ancient Anglo-SaXon goddess of
spring-Ostern or Eostre-whose festi-
val was celebrated about the time of
the Christian Easter. No celebration
was arranged by the Jewish Christians
at all, but on the 18th day of the month
Immediately following the vernal equi-
noX. which was the day ON which
the old Jewish feast of the Passover
was celebrated. the Jewish Christians
celebrated the death Of Christ, to them
the Paschal lamb Christ having died
according to their chronology. on the
date of the celebration of the Jewish
PassoVer). The celebration of the Jew
ish Christians was therefore for the
death and not the resurrection Of
Christ.
The Gentle Christians, however. were
not bound by any of the Jewish tradi~
tons. Sunday being the Lords day
to them, they therefore celebrated the
resurrection of Christ on the Sunday
following the 14th day of the moon of
March, the day on which Christ died.
The Jewish Christians thus celebrated
the 14th day of the month, irrespective

spective of the day of the month. If
this confusion had not been resolved
by the proper ecclesiastical authorities
we might have been celebrating the
day, at the present time. according to
our individual religious predictions.
The early church was torn with bit
ter discussions regarding this conflict
of custom as to the celebration of F,as-
ter. Various attempts were made TO
fix stable day which would he OBJ

Every sort of ingenuity has been
brought to bear on the materials re-
quired for neck bows and stocks, and
some of the softer makes of silk have
been prepared with colored borders, and
worked all over with pea spots in silk

with spots, and many of the wholesale
