FADS IN JEwELRY.

For the woman who cannot afford
luxurious jewelry there is only one re-
venge-to wear none and affect sim
plicity.
New jewelry for the hair is most
striking. There are designs made to
fit the couture almost like an open
work helmet, if such an expression
could be used, all in diamonds or ru-
bies or other precious stones. The
tiaras now being made in Paris for the
coronation are superb and there is a
great rivalry among women c. the
aristocracy of England in the matter.

clasped in his arms pot of herchoicest
lilies; she could see him as he touched
the flowers with his lips, laid his thin
cheeks against them, and Rugged them
in an ecstasy of enjoyment. She
thought, too, of Auntie Cooper, bed
ridden for many years, and of how the
tears had run down the old woman's
cheeks as she clasped the lilies in her
arms. And as she thought of these
things she closed her eyes and muir
mured
81 thank Thee, Lord, not alone for
these lilies, the emblem of His resur-
rection, but also that 1, Olivia, have at
last come out of the grave of selfish
ness, where I have lain buried by pride
and stubbornness."
The sermon was ended and the bene
diction spoken, yet not one of the con-
gregation moved; they stood, almost
breathlessly watching Olivia until the
minister stepped from the pulpit and
walked toward her pew; then old
friends surged around her, with kind
faces and CHEEKY voices. She met
them with outstretched hand and
friendly smile and led them to the Ill
les.
81 have never before had so many
nor so fine lilies. want to give them
to you" The hardness and GOODNESS
had left her face; instead there shone
a warmth of tenderness and glow of
kindness.
"You see I have considered the Ill
ies,'" she said, as she handed a pot of
them to Mrs. Barr.
Seems as if you an the lilies must
be related, 'Livy, you look so much
alike" said old Mrs. Price, as she
looked first at Olivia and then at the
lilies.
A flash of color swept over Olivia's
face, leaving it deadly pale. Philip
Eustis had once told her that she was
like the pale, slender lilies, and that
he loved them for the likeness!
Reaction from her excited feelings
was fast taking place, fatigue and de-
preston of spirits settled upon her.
With weary smile she said good-by.
AS she stepped into the church vesti-
bule man came forward to greet her,
"Olivia!" he said, and held out his
hand.
Pale, trembling, bewildered, she put
her hand in his and looked into his
face.
''Philip!"
BOLIVIA, came back here just to get
glimpse of you; didn't expect that
you would care to see me after a II this
time; but something in your face this
morning, while I watched you giving
away your lilies, gave me courage to
wait and speak to YOU"
You did right" she said, as tnev
turned together and walked slowly
down the path from the church.
II have come to ask your forgive
ness"

the happiness that comes from doing
and giving"
Olivia gave no sign of interest, and
Mrs. Barr did not have the courage to
pursue such one-sided conversation.
She looked toward the large bay win
dow filled with blooming plants; con-
spicuous among them was a tier of
Easter lilies, mass of snowy, fragrant
bloom.
"'Consider the lilies,'" quoted Mrs.
Barr. reverently. "Do you consider
them"
Il have taken all the care of them
since put the bulbs into the soil, so
| suppose that I have considered them
more or less every day."
81 do not mean their manner of
growth alone, nor the beautiful raj
ment; have you thought of the pleas
ure that the sight of them would give
to those who never see a flower during
the long, cold winter?"
81 suppose you mean that ought to
send them to the church tomorrow"
said Olivia, contemptuously.
eve certainly would like them there,
but you can do good with them by
sending them to other places. You can
put them into the homes of the poor
and sick, and every lily-bell will ring
out message of love and gladness."
There was another long silence; and
finally the discouraged Mrs. Barr rose
and took her leave.
AS soon as she had gone Olivia took
up book and read page or two me-
chanically; but the only words that
she saw were: Consider the lilies;
consider the lilies" And the air of the
room was heavy with their perfume.
''I've been staying in the house too
closely" she thought. "Pll go to the
woods and get rid of this mental fuzz. "
On her ny she passed little cot
tage; at the window was crippled
boy caressing the leaves of sickly
fowerless geranium.
Consider the lilies; consider the
lilies" The words rang in her ears,
whistled through the leafless branches
and vibrated in the air.
She filled her hands with twigs of
budding willows, partridge vine and
princess pine, and hurried nervously
home. When she opened the door the

sickening force; she sank into chair,

~1L-G ly sang it, bending
"((I9lV Dove e lilies
Wv there,
With the sunlight dancing, glarcing' rest
ing on her silv'ry hair;
And her voice still sweet, though quay ring
mingling with the bells clear chime,
Is a memory most precious Of our earnest
Easter time!
Jesus Christ is risen to-day,
Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day.
Alleluia!
Who did once upon the Cross,
Allelua!
Suffer to redeem our loss.
Alleluia.'
And at church one Easter morning, re-
member how she sang,
In her pew so feebly sitting, loudly the re-
sponses rang!
Hymn-book grasped by trembling fingers,
dim blue eyes appraised in prayer,
Every word so long consoling, rounded out
with tender care:
Hymns of praise then let us sing,
Alleluia!
Unto Christ our Heavenly King,
AleIuia!
Who endured the Cross and Grave
Alleluia,
Sinners to redeem and save.
Aleluia!''
How we children loved to listen, while she
sung for us alone,
Sitting in the Easter twilight, even when
far older grown!
She would speak of Chrst's great suff' ring,
death. and resurrection too.
Ending with these Easter hymn-wordS,
all so wonderful and true:
But the pain which He endured,
Alleluia,
Our salvation hath procured.
Alleluia,
Now above the sky He's King.
Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing.
Alleluiau
Long she's sung with myriad angels,
round the shining throne above
Seeing too the risen Saviour, whom she
ever knew to love;
And perhaps this hymn inspiring, she so
treasured here below
Is repeated in remembrance of their
dear Lords earthly woe:
Jesus Christ is risen to-day,
Alleluia,
Our triumphant holy day,
Alleluia,
Who did once upon the Cross,
Alleluia!
