the Occasion.
MUCH GOOD MUSIC.

Because the Easter lilies are so
abundant this year, and therefore
easy to obtain, the Topeka churches,
IN the main, will be fairly robed in the
beautiful white of this flower tomor-
row. Easter Sunday. seldom in re-
cent years has so much attention been
given towards decorating the places
of worship as has been bestowed upon
them this year. Rather than elabo-
rate effects however, the floral orna-
mentations viii consist of immense
masses and banks of lilies this year on
pulpit, chancel rail and choir loft
Florists when asked today said that
their orders for lilies this year from
churches have never precedented
at any previous Easter. Three of the
largest dealers in town stated that the
houses of worship here in town fairly
flooded them with orders for the beau
tiful white blossom.
At seven of the churches have ex-
tensive plans been laid for the musical
programmes. OF course all of the
churches will have extra music At
