Eggs and Easter Water.

Eggs and Easter Water.
If young people want to try their
fortunes on Easter morning, the fol-
lowing superstitions are CLEANED from
an old French seeress, who vouches for
the infallibility of each:
The most powerful cosmetic and love
potion, she asserts, is Easter water
and while to procure it requires a great
amount of courage, yet if the love that
Is to live always is only to be secured
In that way we give the young people
chance by unfolding these mysteries.
Easter water is the water that is TAX
en- from the river on Easter morning
before the sun has risen. The person
wishing to test it's efficacy must rise
while it is quite dark, walk to the riv-
er, fill her vial or pitcher and return
home in perfect silence and without
looking back even once. She may then
return to bed and finish the interrupted
nap.
The water thus obtained, so runs the
legend, will keep sweet throughout the
year and is considered invaluable as a
remedy for diseases of the eye. Battle
your face with it every year, and you
will never have wrinkles. The dew
gathered at sunrise from crocuses is
also a preventive against wrinkles.
If you stand silent ana alone and
watch the sun rise, fixing your eyes on
the radiance until dazzled; then. clos
Ing the eyes. say three times:
| Beautiful sun, oh, show to me
The face of my love that is to be!'
then let Imagination do the rest, you
will see the face of your future hus'
band.
Yellow garters worn on Easter day
every woman knows bring luck, and
the maiden must get up at midnight
and put them on; then she must &C
back to bed, and she will dream of her
future husband. A widow must put q
purple and a yellow pansy on with
hers to dream significantly, and the
woman who is either separated or di
vorced may wear purple carriers with
yellow pansies. If she dreams of hel
former husband, they will be reunited
and live happily, but if she dreams Of
another she Wiz very likely marry
again.
If small spider is found near yol
at any time on Easter day, it will
the year.
If you shed tears on that day, it fore
tells misfortunes and unhappiness o
all kinds.
, A present on Easter is good omen
Always wear something new-a dres
. or bonnet. if procurable; if not, som
article worn next to the person.
To prepare a love potion gather i
silence while the full moon is in tn
heavens three white rose leaves, thre
red rose leaves, three forgetmenots an
five blossoms of veronica. Place ther
in a vessel and drop upon them SO
drops of Easter water. Place the ve'
sci over a fire or spirit lamp and DO
exactly the sixteenth part of an hou
then remove and pour into vial. corl
ing it tightly. 1t will keep for yeal
without losing it's power. Three drol

you desire will make him your slave.
Eat an apple on Easter morning ;

Then count the seeds, and if they a
