In the way of gifts Easter is fast be-
coming a miniature edition of Christ

full holders represent the most popular
presents, and city florists and confec-
TONERS reap an immense harvest from
this custom of Eastertide. Any fresh
growing thing, from pot of hyaclnths
TO a stately Easter lily or handsome
blooming shrub, may be given and ac-
cepted as an appropriate present, says

is in bonbon holders, however, to
great extent that the typical Easter
gift is most apt to be found, and very
costly they are despite the airy unsub

Last DEGREES.

MADRID, May IL. - The brilliant
weather encouraged the crowds to pour
out into the streets of the city yester-
day. and every thoroughfare was filled
with melTymakers who were apparent
ly in the happiest humOr.
The appearance of the streets was in
strong contrast to the scene which at
the same time was being enacted with
in the palace. Here the festivity gave
place TO Il drama. The queen regent of
Spain was sorrowfully taking leave Of
her ministers and practically relin-
gushing to the hands of her son the
solemn charge which she has so faith
fully fulfilled for the past sixteen and
a half years.
Premier Sagasta and his colleagues
proceeded to the palace at II o'clock in
the morning for formal leave taking
of the queen regent and to present for
her majesty's signature the last de-

ever be affixed as regent of Spain.
When the queen regent withdrew her
pen from the parchment comforting the
order of the Golden Fleece upon the
Duke of Cumberland, her majestys
eyes We're moist Her regency really
terminated at this time, although until
the king takes the oath in the presence
of the combined chambers May Il his
mother remains officially the queen re-
gent.
1t was n pathetic scene when the
ministers We're ushered into the queen
regents cabinet. She received them
with the young king at her side. Pre-
mier Sagasta in an eloquent address of
leave taking delivered in behalf of him
self and his colleagues recalled the day
when the queen regent. fresh from the
grief of her WidoWhood. hOnOred him
with her confidence, although she
scarcely knew him.
Premier Sagasta said also that he
hoped the new reign would be preg
nant with greater achievements and
greater blessings to the nation than the
preceding reign had been.
The queen regent listened to Senior
Sagasta with increasing emotion.
Finally, with tears running down her
checks, she responded and thanked the
premier for his words.

The streets could hardly be traced.
Here and there amid the ruins were

setting forth the magnitude of the ca

The president proceeded with the
greatest energy to give shape to the re-
