A large gathering Of society YOUNG
folk gathered at the bOspitable home
Of Hon. w. ~. Holloway last Wednes-
day evening IN answer TO invitations
previously sent out by Miss OmeiFa,
the SuperinteDdent's charming young
daughter.
Flowers, electricity and Japanese
lanterns combined, with the lovely
toilets Of the young ladies, TO give the
occasion an air Of brilliant feetivity, 70
which the guests responded with the de-
hghtful spontaneity Of youth.
Progressive and other games were
played, Of which one Is especially
worthy Of mention, it being original
with the young hostess. A story Of
her own composition was read aloud,
in which occasional blanks occurred,
which the guests were expected TO Gil
IN with the name Of a game Of cards.
II was very ingeniOusly devised, and
furnished great deal of amusement.
Miss Mary Reynolds was the fortunate
recipient Of the prize, dainty paper
cutter, for appropriately supplying the
largest number of missing words, while
Mr.. Dale Mabry was rewarded for
ranking highest in the various games
Of progression. His souvenir was a
handsome box Of writing paper. The
prizes were presented by Mr.. Terrell,
principal Of the high school at Fernan-
dina, now one of the teachers at the
normal department at the Woman's
College.
Delicious refreshments were served,
and at a late hour the party broke up,
after having passed one of the most
delightful evenings of the season.

and eagerly searched for by all the
excited youngsters of the family. In
the Bristol museum. there is Ger
man print representing three hens up.
holding a basket with three eggs
bearing the emblems Faith. Hope and
Charity. with this legend in German:
"All good things are three.
Therefore present you three Easter
eggs,
Faith and Hope. together with Char
ity.
Never lose from the heart.
Faith to the church; Hope in God
And love Him to thy death"
In Russia. Easter eggs are ex.
changed even by the dear dignified
grown-ups. Easter morning. a man
goes to his friends house and greets
him with: Jesus Christ Is risen."
The friend answers: Yes. He is
risen indeed" Then they kiss each
other on both cheeks. exchange eggs,
and drink brandy.
OF course. everyone knows that the
Easter sun. the world over. dances in
the heavens II sleepy-heads will only
get UP early enough to see 1t. In some
places in Ireland. there is great
clapping of hands at midnight. Easter
even, happy laughter: and the cry:
"Out with Lent" Then all is mer-
riment for a little while. until the
members of the tired household go
to bed-only to rise at four O'Clock
that they may see the sun dance. In
Scotland. the sun whirls like wind
mill and then gives three leaps.
One OF the prettiest traditions is
that of the Easter hare. The hare has
long been the symbol of the moon.
1t is nocturnal animal, feeding at
night. The female carries her young
for month, representing the lunar
