ROMANCE OF 5IFFR 1.-THE RIVAL NEW WORKERS

waves were tossing him hither and
thither, and that only by keeping his
gaze fastened on something tangible
could he find his bearings. F-elen's an.
swer. putting him On probation. as It
were. was a blow that he had no wise
anticipated. Resolutely for the past
four days he had kept Louise Prebie out
OF his mind, had as persiste1tiy put it
upon Helen. and when he met the latter
be had felt that he could carry out hts
mothers wishes with all his heart But
this hesitation of Helen's puzzled and
troubled him. What did it mean2 II she
had refused him outright he would not
have been so greatly surprised
Could she possibly suspect an attach
ment OF his that had kept him in New
York? With the thought OF this came
a rush Of recoilectioRs to his mind OF
Louise's face as he had talked TO her
of music at the concert. how heF eyes
/ had followed him when they had met
at Manhattan, of the pressure Of her
hand when he had parted from her only
last Saturday night in the street car
/ This is what I want EeIen TO save
me from" he groaned inwardly. And
she would have done it II things had
gone otherwise. With the conscious
ness that she loved me this other hope
less love would have been driven out"
Helen returned now and announced
herself ready for the drive She was
her old gay self while they were out,
setting Penrhyn &n example of the way
in which she wished him to comport
himself And so it was for the two
weeks Of his stay in Newport They
drove, read. walked. and danced togeth-
eT; people remarked how well suited
they were to each other, and some of
their friends even began to plan among
themselves what their Wedding gifts
should be-
! 1t was a gay season at the famous
watering place. PenThyn was in much
demand to lead germans and manage
, amateur entertainments. he threw
himself into them all with an abandon
that of late years had not characterized
! him.

EASTER TRADE.
Business Generally Prosperous
and People Happy.

New York, March 29.-The big stores
in the metropolis are in gala attire and
similar conditions prevail in all the
great shopping centers of the United
States.
Everywhere there is stir, life, activity
and the thousand and one minor evil
denceS of prosperity.
There has never before been, in this
country, such a profuse display of pres
ents for Easter. The great vernal feast
really seems to have assumed a new
significance.
While Easter has always been the
time for display of new garments and
the interchange of small presents or
tokens, it never before became such an
important event in the social chronol-
ogy.
In the shops they say that the growth
of Easter observance has been gradual
and that the people are being gradually
educated into the old European style of
observing it.
AT a leading jewellers on Broadway
it was stated that the business this
year would approximate double that
done by the firm last year I'VE attrib-
ute the increase largely" said the man
ager, Ito the increased prosperity of the
country. Jewellers are the first to feel
an expansion of the money-bags. will
warrant that this Easter there is dou-
BILE the value in gems displayed in re-
tail stores than there was last and it is
only prepared to meet carefully cal
culated demand"
a large dry goods merchant prince
says: THE people of this country are
getting into the habit of doing the bulk
of their shopping at certain periods. For
instance: six weeks before Christmas
we commence to do the heaviest part of
our winter trade and the spring busi-
ness is now getting concentrated on
Easter. Those who do not get some
thing new to wear then, often become
Indifferent and N AXE out without spend
ing much.
Labor troubles are silenced by arbi-
tration almost as soon as they are
voiced, so that there should be no in
terruption of the steady stream of
good fortune which is coming this way.
The profits made out of the manu-
facture of iron and steel have been
phenomenal, stockholders in some cases
having drawn out in dividends during
the past year the actual sum they orig
inally invested in the stock. This pros
perity continues unabated, the prin-
cipal concern in the steel industry al
ready having orders in hand to the
limit of its capacity for year to come.
There is unusual activity and a re-
markable average of profitable buyers
in the textile industry, the demand for
cheap and Improbable goods being on
the wane. Farmers are prosperous,
mining is in a highly successful condi-
tion in most states, while railroads,
which are at all times a guide to gen.
eral business conditions, are piling UP
surplus profits to be applied to inn
provements and the opening up of new
branches in various sections of the
country.

the Resurrection of Christ, have feast
approxfmating very nearly to our East
er in date: viz the PaSchal Sacrifice
The chief difference is that the Semi
tic branch of the human family has Civ
en- n more serious color to their celebra-
ton, preceding the feast of the Passover
and the sacrifice of the Pascha1 lamb
with term of fasting quite foreign to
the pagan expression of the occasion.
Our modern celebration, therefore,
while based upon the Resurrection OF
Christ and the Interpretation of spirit
ual Immortality derived therefron, is
continuation of Jewish and Pagan fes-
tai celebrations. The earliest Christians
being themselves Jews continued the
Paschal celebration with a new signif-
icance added, the death of Christ mean
ing to them the sacrifice of the Paschal
lamb, typified in the earlier Biblical
feast, but whose blood was shed for the
benefit of all humanity.
Incur modern celebration we there
fore follow, by our floral displays and
personal adornment. a custom which
reaches back to the beginning of the
race embodying many of the traditions
and sentiments of those who have pre-
ceded us.

OUR OLDEST FEAST.
Easter Justly Claims Seniority
on the Calendar.

New York March 9.-Notwithstand-
ing the sumptuousness of the Easter
religious celebration, the great spring
festival becomes more and more con-
sidered the proper time for the display
of sartorial novelties by the smart
dressing set.
1t has long been a nip and tuck race
between the tailor and the florist. but
with the constantly accelerated taste
for expensive dressing which we inn
port from abroad, the tailor seems to
be gradually getting the best of the
contest.
New York alone will spend two mil
lion dollars for flowers this Easter, but
her clothing bill will foot up to a much
larger total.
With the growth of wealth and the
development of a leisure class. our
number of exquisiteS is constantly on
the increase and the average club man
is an embryo Beau Brummel in nine
instances out of ten. The magnificence
of our temples of worship keeps pace
with the skill of the costumer and coat
cutter. and it is a long bark back to
those early casters when our uncouth
ancestors, the Teutonic, Scandinavian
and Anglo Saxon peoples, celebrated
their Easter under the green trees of
the forest. clad in their robes of animal
or siceep skins. and bowling their heads
to the goddess Eostre, the northern
edition of the Greek goddess of dawn,
Aurora.
But even those direct ancestors of
ours were only keeping up customs
which had been perpetuated from the
very dawn of history.
Flowers and birds formed great fea-
ture of pagan feasts, for they occurred
just at the time when the earth was
again carpeted with blossoms and the
birds were building their nests in the
budding trees. Thus flowers and eggs
became the natural symbols of Easter.
The merry mood of the sun at or about
the vernal equinox was thoroughly be-
Iieved in, and one may find in the Gel
tic portions of the British Islands, in
Cornwall and Devonshire, as in Ireland,
Scotland and Wales, traces of the old
belief that the sun dances on Easter
morning, vigorously sustained to this
day.
Easter would therefore seem to be the
Oldest of our festivals, for back of the
Aryan customs pertaining to it's cele-
bration here are evidences that the Chi
nese had a festival at this period of
the year, which was one of the chief
events in their calendar.
Even the Jews, who do not recognize
the celebration of Easter on account OF
