did ring a bell just over Ethels bed.
Her brother Tom ridiculed it. but

Every night Ethel hung her cloak

Tom played a practical joke by ring

AN EASTER GARTER.

garter-must not be forgotten. In
pairs for real use, singly, in yellow, for
luck, the garter is perennial. This year
it is most gorgeous, being covered with
pufings Of chiffon or ribbon in Easter
colors and further decorated with bows
composed of chiffon, satin ribbon an
inch or more wide, baby ribbon in sa-
tin or velvet and narrow lace, the
latter also being intermingled.
Buckles are also added to many of
the bows. with puffings covering the
elastic. This sounds elaborate, and
the garter thus decorated looks it, but
. short study Of the arrangement and
a bit of mental arithmetic proves that
the method is really simple, the ex-
pense inconsiderable, and the effect a
fat contradiction of both deductions.
The single garter is presented for
luck. 1t will call Cupid to aid the
spinster. young or old, in attaining
within the year that "other half ever
and eagerly expected. Three condi-
tions are necessary, however. It must
be yellow, it must be worn on the left
leg and it must be-well, the third con-
dition is only traditional, anyway, and
is better not mentioned.
Aluminium is made up into all sorts
of boxes. trays, cups, baskets, crosses,
frames. ETC.. and these may be prettily
hand painted. Sheets of aluminium,
like those of celluloid, may be cut in
to cards, bookmarks. crosses and other
articles and similarly decorated.
A rich-looking gift, costing really
very little, is a work bag Of brocaded
satin, decorated with painted clusters
Of violets. It is lined with plain satin
of the same color and is supplied with
an encircling row Of small pockets.
A souvenir book for the use of the
amateur photographer is easily made
as follows: Through one end of each
of twelve of the cards upon which
photographs are mounted punch two
holes. In one end of each of two Sec
tions of heavy water color paper cut
half an inch larger each way than
the cards. punch two corresponding
holes. lay the cards between these COW
e1s and fasten all Of the parts together
with ribbon drawn through the holes
and tied in a pretty bow. On the front

HISTORY OF THE EASTER LILY.

Island OF Bermuda the Home Of the
Beautiful Flower.
The Easter lily as we now know it
was brought from Japan and China by
an American named Harris and intro
duced into Bermuda in 1872. and from
the beautiful British colony in the At
lantic come most of the Easter lilies
In use in our eastern states. Califor-
MIA supplies the western states, and in
Chicago both varieties may be found.
In Bermuda the Chinese lily received
the name "Lilium Hsrrisii." which 1t
retains to this day. Its common names
are the Trumpet lily" Bermuda
lily" and Easter lily"
Because of the fact that Bermuda
supplies the leading cities ON both con-
tinents with the Easter lily bulbs there
Is a popular impression that the lily
is a native Of this island, but old
growers there have no difficulty in
proving this and in proving the his
tory as given above.
In order to become marketable q
bulb must measure at least five inches
in circumference, and, starting from
tho SCALE" the technical name for
one Of the folds or petals Of matured
bulb. three years Of training and care
is required before it attains this size.
There are nearly 200 farms in Ber-
muda which are devoted exclusively to
the cultivation of the lily. At Sunny
lands tho 1arUoSt NJ tho hiv farms
Just outside of Hamilton. it is a COM
mon sight to see 100000 or more of the
lilies in full bloom in single 6eld.
The field retains its beautiful effect of
snow-white purity for nearly a month
and longer. Then the stalk dries and
the nourishment goes back to the
bulb. During the latter part Of June

well, I must tell you, Bourgeuil,
that you have . heart Of stone"
And tell you. old lady. you are

Saying this the master mason went
out, slamming the door after him.
Then. sitting down alone by the even
ing lamp, the old mother softly cried
over her knitting. Bourgeuil. who
could not endure the sight Of her sad
face, took refuge in a neighboring cafe.
where he passed his evenings at cards.
In the pauses of the game he bemoaned
tho degeneracy Of the times. when the
authority Of parents was despised by
their children. and when every day
saw family respect grow less. He, at
least. would set a good example and
would be severe to the last with the
dis0bedient son. AS this was his sole
topic of conversation. in spite Of the
prestige given him by his fortune. his
companions did not hesitate to call
him behind his back bore" and an
old ''miser." In his presence. however.
they praised his firmness One, whose
pipe was especially offensive. invari-
ably responded to the old mans i'm
precautions with the remark:
Bravo. Father Bourgeuil. You de-
serve to be Roman
Now. Father Bourgeuil possessed
very confused notions concerning an
tiQuity. Still. he had a vague knowl-
edge Of the story of old Brutus. and
the thought that he was man Of that
stamp dattered his vanity exceedingly.
For all that, when he left the cafe and
found himself alone in the darkness he
said to himself-very softly-that that
same Brutus had a hard heart. and

Practice Stiu Prevails and . Very
Pretty Custom.
The old habit of gift-giving at Easter
is still alive and it is the correct thing
that such gifts should be made by the
hands of the donor. Some of these are
pretty and comparatively inexpen-
sive.
Book and magazine covers made OF
water color paper or art linen are
among the pretty and useful gifts. A
cover for dictionary will serve as
model. 1t was made of white water
color paper of light grade and used
on peper covered edition that was
about five inches wide by six long. The
paper was first fitted to the covers OF
the dictionary and folded and creased
SO that the surface to be decorated WIS
plainly indicated. On one side was
painted full cluster of forget-me-
nots. On the other was a smaller
spray, which occupied two-thirds Of
the space; the remaining third-just
in front of the back-was tinted del
icate gray, on which, in gilt, in fancy
lettering, was the word Dictionary"
Then the cover was again folded over
the volume and this time secured
with mucilage or photographers paste.
Violets or any other blossom pre-
ferred could be used in place of the
forget-me-nOts as a decoration. When
linen is used in making book or maga-
zine covers embroidery is better more
satisfactory condition than painting.
Book marks are favOrite Easter gifts
and generally hand painted on water
color paper, celluloid or ribbon. A
pretty one of the first material is COM
posed of two strips of the paper cut
exactly alike-about an inch and three
quarters wide and five long. On the
center of the under one is dainty lit
tie wash drawing; in the center of the
upper one is cut an oblong opening to
fit the drawing, and on the uncut sur
face is delicately painted bit of rcd
and yellow foliage, such as appears in
early spring n some varieties Of trees
and shrubs. From between the ends
of the pasted strips extend bits of
fringed ribbon in either of the Easter
colors-white, yellow or lavender.

The meeting of landowners and
potato growers, to be held 1T Keller
to day, merits the attention of every
farmer on the Eastern Shore OF Nir-
ginia, should be largely attended,
and it is to be hoped will not end in
meeting, passing resolutions and the
like With the present prices of
potatoes, it is important for them not
only to meet and confer with each
other but TO do something to Stimu-
late prices on their staple product
and to work together to maintain
them; and it is folly to say that moth
ing can be done. The exercise OF
little common sense will teach them
that many of them are at fault i'll
preparing their stuff for market,
which must be relnedied, and that
they should not be so willing in the
future to put themselves in the hands
of few as they have done in the
past, that they will take anything
for their produce which is offered
them. Their potatoes already have
been sold too long to the lowest bid
der, and it is time that those of our
farmers who are not willing to get
together and to demand what their
potatoes are worth, whatever the
temporary sacrifice to them, that
they get out of the business and try
something else to which they are
better adapted.
We are not advised as to the plans
TO be submitted to the farmers for
the betterment of their condition to
day, but whatever they may be, it is
the duty of every farmer, who can.
to be present to hear them and if he
has nothing better to suggest, to
stand by and work to carry out those
which may be adopted. Any moves
ment, at the present low prices OF
potatoes, can hardly fail to result III
good to the growers.
