Pretty Booklet Which Can Be Made
by Any Girl for a Friend at Very
Little Cost.

A pretty Easter remembrance can

booklet, containing an appropriate or
helpful poem for your friend, These
booklets may be made in two ways.
The leaves and cover may be made
twice the size Of the page desired,
then folded and stitched with silk
cord or narrow ribbon, and tied in a
knot at the back. Or they may be cut
into pages instead OF leaves. holes
punched at the back about an inch
from the edge and a ribbon run
through and tied. Cut sheets OF the
tinted paper to the shape and size
you wish your book. Unruled tinted
note paper, wholly out Of place for
correspondence. may be used to ad-
vantage. as 1t is already Of a suitable
size. Other paper may be cut in long.
narrow sheets. to be fastened at ono
end. The poem Is to be written or
typewriter. using as many pages az
desired. but only n side OF the pa.
per. The booklets sold at the stores

little to put on a page. Select a pic
ture, or several OF them. suitable to
the poem. and mount them on pages
OF the same size. From fancy board
cut a cover a little larger than the
pages. On the front OF the cover put
a picture or ar Easter greeting. Bind
with ribbon-Florence Marian Critch.

EASTER ~ECC-ROLLINC.
Annual Carnival Enjoyed by Wash
jngton Children on the White
House Lawn.

Ten thousand children, varied in age
and size and color. perhaps 100. 600 vivid
hued eggs. and upward OF 1000 grown
folks watching this strange amalgama-
ton OF color, is the essence Of the Easter
egg-rolling carnival in the presidents
back yard. This monste egg rolling
fete Is a custom which has been handed
down from one generation of children
to another. Where and when It origi-
mated no person In this age has been
able to determine, but all Washington
combines to guard It as a privilege in
violate. This great "play-time" Is not
devoted exclusively to the pastimes
wherein the colored eggs are an all-im-
portarft adjunct, for many Of the little
visitors who have come unprovided
with baskets of the fragile playthings
spend the entire day skipping the rope
playing with dolls, sailing miniature
boats in the great fountain basins, or
indulging In some other diversion dear
to the childish heart. or course, g &
decorated In many bright colors, en-
ployed In any one of a dozen ways. con-

White House lawn usually indulge In

stock OF eggs. or egg picking" which

Another game of the same order may
be played by two youngsters seated
upon h ground several feet apart.
Each selects an egg from the basket at
her side and simultaneously they roll
forward the bright-colored ovals. with
the hope, OF course. that a collision will
result and the relative strength OF the
two Eggs be determined. Every year
