Mrs Dubbs hadn't lived with Mr.
Dubbs twenty-five years without know
ing his peculiarities. He never made
Christmas presents; he never observed
birthdays; he did not regard Easter as
the proper day to bring out new head
gear. Mrs. Dubbs had always rebelled
about the latter, and the time had final
ly come when she meant TO break out
in open defiance. She began long
weeks ahead to cut nickels and dimes
Off the household expenses and lay
them aside for another purpose, and
when at last Easter drew near she
counted up her savings and found the
sum sufficient to buy what her soul
craved for She didn't expect that
Dubbs would be pleased, but if she
got out of it without solemn lecture
she would be more than satisfied.
Queerly enough, Mr.. Dubbs had not
only come TO the conclusion that he
needed Il new hat, after wearing his
old one for five years, but he so far
went back on his record as to decide
to bring it out Easter Sunday. 1t took
considerable scheming on his part to
buy Il new plug" and get it home and
deposit the box on the spare bed up
stairs the day before Easter. and. al
though he was home when his wife's
new bonnet arrived in its bandboX, it
was sneaked up stairs into the spare
room and left beside his hat without
his being any the wiser.
That evening as Mr.. Dubbs was re-
turning home from the store he found
a puppy on the doorstep shivering with
the cold, and in the goodness of his
heart, for he was good in streaks, he
picked up the pup and carried it in
side. In the goodness of her heart
Mrs. Dubbs welcomed and fed the
stranger, and, instead of turning it out
fin the cold world, she let it remain and
make itself at home. Shortly before
bedtime Mrs. Dubbs smiled to herself
as she looked over at her husband and
said:
John, 1 do wish had a new bonnet
for tomorrow"
yes, and wish had 4 new hat"
he mumbled in reply.
There was silence for n time as she
patched pair of trousers and he read
his paper, and then he suddenly start
ed up and remarked:

"He must be up stairsr' she gasped
as she looked around.

personified the opening of the spring.
The early church, with its habit of
adopting as many of the popular reli-
giouS rites as possible into the new
faith, found it an easy matter to trans
Form the feast of the earth's awaken
ing from the sleep of winter to the re-
joicing that Christ should initiate the
resurrection of the souls of men from
the sleep of the grave.
Before the Christian era throughout
Europe blossoms bore the names of the
pagan deities, but with the revolutions
of religious ideas the plants had to be
rechristened and the legends attached
to them reconstructed to conform to
the new faith.
Perhaps from Il feeling of reverence
but few We're named for Christ or any
member of the trinity. We still have

have furnished the material for the
crown of torture.
