And now she had to acknowledge
to herself that she knew little more
of his private life or of his personal af-
fairs than she knew then. She was
unusually silent as she and Brunette
descended the steps and walked to-
gether to the lawyers office. Her err
rand there attended to. Mary Vane
went with Brunette to see about the
latter's Easter hat Then the two
walked down State street just as the
matinee-goers were flocking from the
theaters.
Brunette paused suddenly before a
florists window.
20, had almost forgotten! Mamma
told me to order some flowers for to-
morrow. Will you come in with me?"
They stood a few minutes admiring
the display in the window. the golden
daffodils, and shy blue crocuses. pure
lilies of the valley, Haunting tulips,
starry jasmine, and cool green ferns
forming a tender background for them
all. The attendants were busy when
they entered. The girls stood back of
a high rubber tree admiring some rare
chrysanthemums when the door was
flung open and a gentleman came in.
He was of medium height and had a
kind, brown-bearded, thoughtful face.
Not noticing any one in the store he
went directly to the counter. To a
man at that instant disengaged he
gave his order.

lie would think of such a thing. She

There! That is Mr.. Charlie now!"
A step crossed the hall. Looking
pale and worn, Charlie Everett came
into the room. His face lighted up at
sight of his sweetheart
'You-Mary!" he cried.
"Hush!" she begged. She broke
down, crying bitterly. Don't look at

They passed out together into the
brilliance of the Sabbath morning.

lifting" and "f1eaving"

The practice of lifting" once great
ly in vogue and still to be found here
and there in England, is one of the
most curious of the Easter customs. 1t
was observed on Easter Monday and
Easter Tuesday, the men lifting" or
"heaving" the women on the former
occasion, and the women returning the
compliment the next day. The process
consisted in placing the person to be
lifted on the crossed hands of two or
three others. and raising him high of
the ground three times. At the end of
the ceremony the lifters expected a
fee of kiss or a silver siXpence, and
sometimes both. Occasionally a chair
was used for the lifting. A traveller
in England many years ago, who was
entirely unacquainted with this Easter
custom, leaves a pathetic account of
his bewilderment one Easter Tuesday
upon being seized by several vigorous
young women. placed in spite Of his
troubles in a gayly decorated chair,
and raised aloft three times to the full
height to which these Amazons could
reach. Then he was in still greater

heart through all the sleepless night
that followed. But her rigid will si-
fenced that assailing protest So the
morning of the beautiful day that
followed found her at the gate of a
cosey cottage set back amid a group of
bare-branched naples. There were
drifts of snow in the little garden, but
the air was warm with the effulgent
prescience of spring. So peaceful was
the place, the hour, her courage almost
failed her. All the blinds were down.
The entrance she chose brought her
to a side door. She rang the bell. A
maid appeared.

Mary Vane, a tall, pretty girl, who
was adjusting her fur collarette be-
fore the mirror, turned quickly. her
soft cheeks flushing scarlet.

'how can you expect me to answer
such a question:"
Brunette. who was small and stout,
and attired in the height of the pre-
vailing mode, sank down in a chair

Il didn't expect you to answer it.
There is no necessity you should do so.
Mr.. Patton told Tom last night that
you had thrown him over. l don't see
how your conscience allowed you to
act so. He is such catch-young and
good-looking. Best of all, he is enor-
mously wealthy"
Mary smiled as she speared a crown
of her demure little turban with long
pin. She was thinking of a man who
was no longer young-near forty, per-
haps-who was handsomer in her eyes
than all other men, and who was by no
means wealthy.

Mary's smile became quizzical.

devoted to you, but not one of your

The smile faded from Mary's lips.

We'll, there really is reason why he

THE EASTER BIRTH

Again the fiower-shoot cleaves the clod /;
Again the grass-spear greens the sod:
Again buds dot the willow-rod.

And mounteth upward buoyantly.

The tender-voiced, enamored stream
Unto the rush renews its theme.
How packed with meaning this new birth
OF all the growing things of earth
Life springing after death and dearthi
