It's Sunday at all, much less Easter

This distinction between the hare

important, and chiefly because the
rabbit burrows in the ground, while
the hare makes forms of grass for his

that you never sought hare in a

understand. And when you reflect how
impossible it would be to find the
Easter eggs if the hare hid them in a
deep hole. it's perfectly plain that the

To the learned men who go grub
bling in kitchen middens, and who can
tell without stopping to count, just
how many sausages it takes to reach
the moon, it's as plain as the noon
day sun why the hare is here at
Easter with wheelbarrow full OF
eggs. But for you and me, who
couldn't build up dinosaur from a
decayed tooth in another million
years, and who mix up history with
historical novels, little time is re-
quired to disentangle the truth from
the tradition.
There's no doubt that the Easter
hare has arrived. You have seen him
in nearly all the confectioners Win
dows for some time past, either trund-
ling a wheelbarrow full of eggs or
proudly drawing huge egg set up
on wheels.
Now, be sure not to pronounce that
"aigs and "aig," as they do in the
South, for if you dc, you will be fall
ing into the same unscientific error as
the confectioners have made in repre-
senting the sacred hare as his humble

rabbit is all well enough in his way,

people would have to take out acct
