first placed il small dish; roll a
warm egg over and over in it and
when it is evenly dyed place it upon
paper to dry. When all the yellow
eggs that are wanted are secured, use
another dye in the same manner.
Pretty baskets for the eggs are made
by covering pasteboard shapes with
white cotton batting and tying with
narrow ribbon bows. The light
colored eggs may be finished with in
scriptions in darker colors or orna-
mented with bronze or gold powder.
The baskets may be sprinkled with
metallic filter, which adds to their
effectiveness.

q beautiful new dress" Thereupon
the little one was contented. AS soon,
however, as they returned home the
mother would clasp her little daugh.
ter in her arms, kiss her again and
again aud say: "You sweet little angel,
what would become Of you if l were
to die? No one, not even your father,
knows what dear little angel you
are!''
Some time afterward the mother be-
came suddenly sick and she died on
the ninth day. Thereupon the father
of the little girl threw himself in de-
buried with his wife. His friends,
however, spoke to him and comforted
him, and so he left his wife's body,
and year later he took unto himself
another wife, who was lovelier, young
er and richer than his first wife, but
by no means as good.
And from the day that her mother
died the little girl spent her whole
time from morning till evening seated
at the window sill in the sitting room,
since there was no one who woulc
take her out for a walk. She had be-
come even paler than before and she
had not grown at all during the latter
years.
When her new mother came to the
house she said to herself: "Now I will
| go out walking again in the city and
on the beautiful promenades where
the sun shines SO brightly, where
there are so many lovely shrubs and
| flowers and where there is such a
crowd of handsomely dressed people. :"
For she lived in narrow little alley,
in which the sun seldom shone, and
when she sat on the window sill she
saw only little bit Of the blue sky
q bit not larger than pocket hand
| kerchief. Her new mother went out
nearly every day in the forenoon and
afternoon, and each time she wore q
very beautiful dress, much more
beautiful than any dress the first
mother had ever owned. But she
never took the little girl with her.
Finally the child took heart, and
one day she earnestly begged her new
mother to take her out with her. The
mother, however, refused bluntiy
saying: "You are not smart enough
What would the people think if they
were to see me with you? You are {

dren never 60 walking, but always
stay OF home"
Thereupon the little girl became yer,
quiet, and as soon as her new mother
had left the house she got on a chat
and looked in mirror and say
that indeed she was humpbacked, badl,
humpbacked. Then she sat again o,
the window sill and looked out int
the street and thought of her good oil,
mother, who, in spite Of her hump
back, had taken her out walking ever,

"What il inside of it, I wonder!

CUBAN HOSPITALITY


We quote the closing paragraphs or
an account, in the Century. by II.
Phelps Whitmarsh, author Of The
Worlds Rough Hand" Of a hot mid
winter tramp from Santiago to Ha-
vana:
Although the entering Of a city at
night and on foot was no new thing for
either of us, yet at that time. after for
ty-six days on the road, and after hav-
ing walked seven hundred and fifty
miles with that particular city as cur
goal, we looked at the mysterious arc
of light In the heavens before us with
q strange pleasure not unmixed with
eXultation; for not only had we accom-
plished what we had set out to do
We also had that peculiar masculine
satisfaction Of knowing that we were
the first white men to travel through
Cuba on foot.
AS soon as we crossed the bridge at
Guanabacoa we saw the electric lights
of Havana in circles, squares, and
seemingly endless rows. The whole
city was ablazc. The placid waters of
the harbor over which we looked We're
shot with siivery streamers. For the
remaining four miles we forgot our
sore feet our WEAKNESS, even our hun
ger, and stepped along at gait in
keeping with our lively spirits. At
every turn we found evidence that we
were again entering civilization: first
great, white-walled fort guarding the
road; then brightly lighted carriages;
later a paved street, and at last a
gloom we suddenly emerged into 4
| busy thoroughfare. We had made for
ty miles that day, and We're in Havana.
But alas! our rejoicings We're quickly
nipped in the bud. Before we had gone
block small man with large wills
| tie appeared at Balaam's head. He
| looked at US suspiciously for mo-
! ment, then whistled twice. As if by
! magic four policemen appeared. In
vain we protested, threatened, and
flourished handfuls of papers under the
| little mans nose. Our looks were

crowd surrounding us. we were march

but the distinctive celebrations do not
begin until Holy Thursday. On that
day high mass is broken off in the

carries an image of the Christine

the image, life size and robed In white,

This is really the most striking of all

of the church in singular costume, all
