three colored eggs, on one of which
was written;
tin God put thy confidence and thou
shalt receive assistance.
The boy, whose name was Fridolin,
set out for his home, across the noun
tain, and lad not gone far when he
saw horse standing near rayine,
but without a rider. The boy looked
into the ravine and saw that a man in
the dress of a cavalier lay there, who
looked as if dead. He examined the
man and found thathe was badly hurt,
but not dead. He got some water for
the knight, who asked if he could give
him anything to eat. Fridolin said
that he had eaten all the provisions
given him for the journey and only had
the three colored eggs for his father,
mother and sister. The man said,
"Give me the eggs and I will give you
some gold" and Fridolin gavehim the
eggs and he ate two and told Fridolin
to keep the third. When, however,
the man looked at the writing on the
I, third egg, he was greatly surprised,
for he recognized it as that of his wife.
He had been obliged to leave his
family and 60 to war at the command
of his king, and an enemy, taking ad-
vantage of his absence, had attacked
his castle, driven his wife and children
from home and burned the house to
the ground. When he returned from
the war and found his home in ruins
he at once went in search of his wife,
whom he feared was in the power of his
enemy. Helearned through Fridolin
that she was safe and where she was
staying, and determined to go to her
at once He travelled as pilgrim, for
fear that his enemy might hear of him,
and reached the little village in a short
time. His children met him, became
very friendly with him, but their
mother, fearing that the pilgrim might
be an enemy in disguise, was fright
ened until her husband threw off the
pilgrims long cloak and discovered
himself to her. He told how he had
been able, through her kindness and
charity to the poor little Fridolin, to
find her, and she. in turn, told how
the brave Kuno had taken herself and
the children from the castle by secret
passage.
The Chevalier Arno, for such was
the name of the father of Edmund and
Blanche, was touched by the story of

Another useful toilettride is hang

and hat pins. The standing basket is
made of basket, of cream or white
shade, in which an egg shaped cush-
ion, stuffed with curled hair and Gov
cred by yelling or other net, is placed.
This basket is improved by a little
shot pad, to weight it and make it
stand more firmly. II a hanging cush;.

lived in the village. She had now
many hens and consequently num-
Der of eggs which she gave to the sick,
showing the women of the village
many ways Of cooking the eggs which
they found delicious. The hens were
source of great amusement to the
childl en-.
The poor people in the village were
so obliging that the lady determined
to give them some pleasure and as
they worked every day with the ex-
ception Of Sunday, she selected the
festival OF Easter and prepared feast
for that day. With the assistance Of
Marie she made a quantity of good
things to eat and then colored large
number Of eggs. These were colored
red, blue, gre en-, orange, lilac, and in
fact all the colors of the rainbow and
were intended as a surprise for the
children of the village.
Edmund and Blanche took charge
of the village children and brought
them to little woods at the back of
the house where they were shown a
number of little nests of moss--one
for each child. When they opened
them they saw five colored eggs In
each nest. On each egg was sentence
or two of writing, containing some
good advice for the children and they
came and showed their treasures with
much JOY to their parents. When all
had said goodby poor little boy, a
stranger, came to the door and said
that he was very tired and hungry,
and was on his way to visit his mother,
who was very sick. He had little
money which he was trying to save
for his mother who was poor as well
as sick. The lady invited him into
the house and after giving him good
supper prepared some provisions for
him to eat on the way home, gave him
C piece OF gold for his mother and also

Egg. Rolling on the White House Lawn.
Christendom has three great fes-
rivals, Thanksgiving OF harvest home,
Christmas, and Easter. Easter is a
survival in the Christian Church Of
the Jewish Feast of the Passover
still observed by orthodox Hebrews
throughout the world. The Anglo
Saxons had goddess of spring, Os-
tara, and they marked tho fourth
month, Ostara's month, with feast,
and song, and pagan rite of worship.
In fact, all the old heather mytbol-
ogies show that the awakening OF ma
ture in bursting blossoms and song
of birds was greeted with joyous re-
ligious ritual by these blind peoples
feeling after the true God and the
truth. They celebrated the awaken
ing of the earth; Christianity celc-
brates the resurrection of man.
