for many years. The sun appeared for
a short time. Saturday afternoon. for
the first time in many days and great

that Sunday would be fair as Easter
Is always expected to be. Every one
was doomed to disappointment. for
Sunday morning. it was raining as
hard as it has at any time during the
past week and continued without letup
all day. All the Easter bonnets and
Easter gowns had to remain unmolest-

rubber boots and rainy day skirts were
the prevailing style. The attendance at
all the churches was small. and not at
all suitable for the fine special pro-
grams which had been prepared with
