The Chicago Record-Herald gives
some very pretty ideas for Easter
The custom Of giving gifts at Easter
| is becoming more and more in vogue
Merchants recognize this fact and the
shops are filled with charming novel
ties to suit all purses and persons.
For the children nothing takes the
place of the time-honored colored egg,
and the specially prepared dyes, with
the directions closely followed, will
give very satisfactory results. To
produce pretty luster, after the
eggs are cool enough to handle, rub
them with slice of raw bacon, then
with a soft cloth.
To write the name or date on the
eggs, dip pointed stick in melted
lard and then trace the letters be-
fore putting 1t in the dye and the
writing will remain white.
Dainty nests may be made from in
expensive baskets with fringe made
by cutting yellow and white tissue pa
per into strip to resemble straw; a
little cotton peeping between the col
ored eggs adds to the effect.
Gifts of flowers. especially potted
plants. such as tulips. hyacinths and
lilies, are appropriate at this season,
tied with white and yellow. Boxes
come in shape of rabbits, chickens and
eggs of all sizes and these filled with
bonbons make an acceptable gift
Small articles. such as a ring, thin
BILE, stick pin or sleeve links may
be concealed in a real egg shell. Sc
lect large egg, carefully remove the
contents, then with a pair of sharp
scissors cut the shell in lengthwise
halves. Baby ribbon or gold paper
may be used to bind the edges, and
a hinge made at the back. Put this
in little nest and it will make most
attractive remembrance.

increased tenfold when they are ac-
compaE.ed by note or a quotation
apropos of the day. The following
verse is suitable for anyone and con
veys the message of the season in
most beautiful language:
Twas blue bird told the story
On his way from heaven this morn
1t was starlight soft and tender,
Yet the east was flushed with rose
And the weary world was waking
From the calm of its repose.
This the message, sweet and holy,
"Tired souls forget your pain,
Christ the Lord for you is risen;
Doubling hearts He lives again!'
