last date is the very latest on which Eas-
ter can come, and it will not fall again on
that date until the year 1913. Easter has
a range of So days on which it can fall.
The earliest date is March 22d, and the

it was the first time it had been SO late
since 1886 Easter will fall on April %
in 1916, and again in the year 1000.
