OyerstOcked Homes.

lone of the most frequent mistakes
made by young wives" said a matron
known for her sensible advice on
topics of the household, sis that of
filling the house with furniture at the
outset of their married life.
'They like to feel that their friends
find nothing wanting and they forget
that. starting out with too full an
equipment, they must necessarily keep
that unchanged for several years.
There is no room to add new things,
and to dispose of old furniture which
is not worn out is a serious loss. The
proper thing to do is to start out with
just enough to be comfortable.
From time to time little things may
be added as they are found necessary.
In that way one never feels like a
back number. At the same time, one
does not have to turn everything topsy-
turvy in order to be up to date. An
other important thing in this connec-
ton is to resist the temptation, fire.
quent when a young woman has every
thing she needs in furniture, to spend
on entertainment money and time she
can i'll afford. Many young matrons
have become broken in health from
that"

The Lesson.

Easter Is to Christmas as the flower
to the bud. Between the two great holy
days there stretches the whole of the
Christ-life on the earth-the healing OF
the sick, the giving of sight to the blind,
the going about on the hills and through
the wales of Galilee, the words he spoke,
the deeds he did, from the hour that his
ministry began until he cried, ut is fin
ished," upon Calvary. The most amaz-
ing period in the story of time, those
three years il which God tabernacled in
human flesh, is commemorated in two
small places, Bethlehem and Easter-the
one with the starbeam, the other with the
day-dawn, the one with those who wor-
SHIPPED at the cradle, the other with those
who sought the garden tomb and both
with the help of the song of the angelic
visitors who came to serve their Lord.
Easter, even more than Christmas, speaks
very tenderly to those who follow Christ
in lowly dependence and unfaltsring trust.
Its gladness strikes a deeper note. Its
light seems brought from the very inmost
radiance of heaven. We are dull of vision,
but at Easter we catch glimpse of that
world of fullest brightness which is just
beyond this sphere of strife and this
schoo! in which we are taught the lore Of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS e. Sangster.

Easter Qufps.

An Easter egg is seldom as fresh as it
is painted.
Uneasy lies the head that wears no
new Easter bonnet.
The shower that ruins a woman's new
bonnet is a rain of terror.
There is no peace on earth when the
heirs try to break the good will
new spring gown naturally causes a
woman to walk with an elastic step.
One touch of the milliner's fingers
makes the whole feminine world akin.
Fine clothes may not make the woman,
but they sometimes break her husband.
A pretty bonnet may not effect wom-
ans brain, but it always goes to her head
A woman raves over her new bonnet
and her husband raves over the bill for it.
Probably Lots wife passed some other
woman and looked back to see what she
had on.
Every woman who wears new bonnet
to church to-day will wonder why the ser
mon is SO short.
At the presen. writing woman's
crowning glory looks suspiciously like an
expensive creation of the millinsTs art.

Honor and Frfen dshfD,

Robert Louis Stevenson says: "The
salary in any business under heaven is
not only, nor, indeed the first ques-
ton. That you should continue to ex-
list is matter for your own consd-
Grafton; but that your business should
be first honOst, and second useful, are
points in which honor and morality
are concerned.
ITO be honest, to be kind-to earn
a little and to spend a little less, to
make upon the whole a family happier
for his presence; to renOunce when
that shall be Necessary ard not to be
embittered, to keep a few friends, but
these without capitulation-above all,
on the same grim conditions to keep
friends with himself-here is a task
for all that a man has Of fortitude
and delicacy."

Woman's Sense of Loyalty.

Women sometimes get SO angry they
stutter when their husbands or some
man with equal brutal frankness de-
clares that there is an element of ma
tive dishonesty in even the best of
women, but l do not, says Lillian Bell.
L am fair specimen of the garden
variety of woman which grows wild
or tame according to the gardener S
planting, and when l look within l
find that l really don't know right
from wrong when it Is a question of
some one l love.
So there you have it.
The difference between men and wo-
men Is that most women are born
mothers. That Is TO say, that whether
they ever have any children of their
own or not they are born with the
mother instinct which drives them to
love something or somebody materially,
which also includes foraging for and
protecting it by word and deed. That
is why women's testimony. even under
oath, sometimes has purple streaks In
it. which no one seems to understand.
The DelineatOr.

The combination of gray and DARK
blue, inaugurated first with success last
season, proved such d success that fidel-
ity to the mode continues. striking
example being this tailored costume in
pale gray wolfe striped with cadet blue.
The skirt is quite plain, except about
the waistliHe where the fullness is
taken up in tiny plaits. and at the
front and back is stitched with two
bias folds, the stripes of which meet
in odd effect.
The little hip-coat has a vest and
collar Of blue rajah silk and Is rather
deliberately stitched with folds Of its
own material, alternating with tiny
straps of gray taffetas. The voile folds
outline yoke front and back, while
the taffetas straps run across the yoke
transversely from the collar to the
edges of the folds under which they
disappear. The hat is a gray chip with
blue flowers and ribbon of the same
color, but in a darker shade.
There is no denying the fact that
stripes gain in number and Importance
as the season advances and new fabrics
are introduced. In wolfe and the lead
ing sheer Stuffs there are many one
tone stripe designs with stripes of va
rying widths achieved in the weaving,
or often with satin finished stripes,
and the effect is very stunning indeed.

Separate skirts of linen poplin,
washable and we'll shaped, are useful
for shirtwaist wear.
Ribbon bows are having a great pop
ularity. They are going yeoman serv-
ice in the way of trimming.
A blue velvet skirt is worn with
excellent effect with a three-quarter
empire coat of dark-blue broadcloth.
Many of the hand-embroidered ba.
tistes have inserted bands and pat.
terms of pale-colored batiste laid in
tucks.
Of great height are the combs and
one of the most striking, of amber,
has a butterfly of brilliants inserted
in the top.
Wool and silk yoiles are to be worn
again and are trimmed with quillings
of ribbon or embroideries and lace
insertions.
The feature of the present blouse Is
it's trig shapeliness and small waist
line. The pouch which gave it its
name is a mere memory.
Shoulder scarfs will become a still
more important part of the toilet since
dropping shoulder lines are insisted
upon in all spring models.
Any one fortunate enough to possess
an old lace scarf had best hunt it
I'D at once and put it into service, for
never will it be more really fashion
able than to-day.
Fur Is used both inside and out on
evening wraps. Wraps should be as
soft and clinging as possible and the
various fabrics used admit Of much
originality of treatment.
One of the alriest new wells for
spring millinery is of point d'esprit
with a border of lace bands appliqued
by hand Sage green,' leaf brown and
elephant gray are the colors in which
it exploits itself.
To accentuate the dainty waist
which Is the pride of every slim wo-
man, the wearing of a chain girdle has
come again into fashion. On the chain
are suspended trinkets and the effect
is highly attractive.
Princess frocks of black velvet, each
seam outlined with jet, worn by the
young contingent, assume a Gibson
girl air. Such a gown is usually ac-
companied by big black picture hat
and a white feather boa.

Nine Bernhard She Is full of 1T.
She sees the slightest fling; there Is
no bit too subtle for her to seize. And
then how she enjoys it! Her sense of
the ridiculous is most keen. She por-
trays life's tragedies, but not one of
its comedies escapes her. Her smile,
her laughter, they are ever ready to
break out. They cannot be suppressed.
She feels the mirthfulness of the world,
and that makes her only more keenly
alive to its sorrows."

LEGEND OF THE LILY.

Once, when this grand old earth was young
An angel thought to bring
sgrom earth's fair fields a blossom sweet,
To offer to his king.
He wandered Ger the fertile fields,
He gaZed on blossoms bright
Too bright they seemed for his desire,
Too gay to please his sight.
Oh !. for a pure white flower" he sighed
Fit for my King 70 wear
Enough long he sought, no flower of white
Was blooming anywhere.
So worn and weary. he sat down
10 weep that none were found;
ahls crystal tears flowed Ger bis rope
And sank into the ground
At once a lily white sprang up,
All pure, his gaze 10 meet;
Singing. he gathered it and few
And laid it at Gods feet
Pleased was his King. This flower" He
said.
Because of this shall grow,
Henceforth. a sign to sinful man,
Ger all the earth below
Thus came the lily. pure and fair;
Who looks may read this sign
In its white cup. the angels tears,
The purity divine.
