Bird SuperStitlons.

In many parts of England there are
curious superstitions about birds. The
stonechat, for instance, is believed to
be continually chatting with the evil
one, so it is held in bad repute, and as
the raven commonly impersonates his
sable majesty it is ranked in the same
category OF evil birds. Sometimes.
however, the ravens appearance, so it
ia held, forebodes a death.

An association born of the desire to
trace relationship and hallow the MEM
ory of an honored ancestry is the Rob-
inson Family Genealogical and Histor-
ical Association.
Since it's foundation, it has collected,
compiled and published much interest
ing data.

country are William Robinson, who
settled in Dorchester, Mass, and George
who established himself in the

Abraham settled also in Massachusetts,,

Easter Raiment on the InstaIImen+
Plan.
A big trade is done by the instalment
houses just before Easter. and many
complete Easter costume is worn on
which only a few dollars have been
paid. Therefore, it's owner must Law
aside a couple of dollars weekly until
the full amount is paid, but this fact
does not mar her pleasure in joining in
the Easter morning parade.
In the poorer districts, dealers who
hire out costumes, and more particular
ly mems suits, do a rushing trade. The
young chap who would take his sweet
heart to church on this gala day, but
who lacks the spring raiment which he
considers essential, hires a light SUIT

too diplomatic, according to her own

those who send flowers as Easter
gifts Naturally. cut flowers must
be purchased at the last moment, but
a, shopper will save money by buying
growing plants, such as lilies, azaleas
and hyacinths, a week or ten days in
advance. The plant selected should
have buds, rather than blossoms, and
by Easter Sunday it will be a mass
of bloom.
A feature of the flower trade, which
has developed only in the past few
years, is the temporary shop. A
fashionable downtown florist will Sc
cure any store space he finds vacant
in good residence neighborhood and
put in a gool-sized stock of flowers
for few days preceding Easter Sum
day. He more than doubles the addi-
tional expenditure by Kidding himself
of all surplus stock which he could
not sell at a single establishment.
Many shoppers imagine that, by
waiting until late Saturday night or
early Sunday morning, they can get
cut prices on flowers. This is a mis-
