The cases for holding Easter bon
bons are as pretty as they are novel.
In addition to the eggs, great and
small filed with candles. there are
realistic rabbits, and there are charm
ing little flower maidens whose heads
lift off to show the pretty sweets con-
cealed beneath.
There are swans with wings that
unfold SO that the French comita.
which they hold may be gotten at;
there are nower-cascs with candies
tucked away in their petals, and there
are all kinds of devices that the mag :
tnation can conceive of in chocolates,
from swans and hares down to smooth
brown and speckled chocolate eggs.
Downy little GOLDEN eathered chick

is GLAD DAY
I'M SCHOOL S.
Holiday Celebrated With Many
Interesting Ceremonies
BY Pupils.

Easter is always a welcome holiday in
the schools, coming as 1t does in the
budding season Of the year and giving.
to students and school children an oppor-
tunity for brief relaxation and enjoyment
before they enter upon the homestretch5
preceding tho final examinations.
The holiday as a holiday, has always
been one celebrated with due regard to
Its meaning and importance in Virginia
schools. Class work is suspended son
Thursday so that students so desiring
may attend Good Friday services. The
holiday extends through Easter Monday.
and, rs that falls on April FOOLS Day
this year. any amount of merrymaking
may be expected on the part Of the young!
people.
Westminster School, Miss Ealett's
School and Miss Morris School for young
girls and children closed Thursday, as
did Woman's College and tho other
private schools in tho city.
The High School and tho grammar
schools Of Richmond also. dismissed their
students and scholars on Thursday to
the JOY Of these young people and their
teachers, to whom tho holiday is much
of q relief as to the youngsters.
A teachers difference will be held In
Lynchburg on Easter Monday and many
~ lHG lSdCuelS .lIlIOusuOu[EL Inc SoCaGO Will
attend It. School girls who 60 bone from
boarding school for tho holidays will take
guests with them, and many house parties
are consequently projected throughout
Virginia.
In the boarding schools Of the State
q generation ago Easter holiday was
thought Of and prepared for weeks be-
forehand Immediately after the girls
who spent the holidays at home re-
turned, the Easter play, for which nu-
merous Invitations had been sent out
was presented. Sometimes tableaux
took the place of the Easter play, with
elaborate costuming and all the pref
test girls Of tho school In tho principal
parts. Il
After tho program had been duly gone
through with, there was an Easter dance
with icc-cream and cake at the last
Judged by present-day standards tho
plays might not seem so suporfine as far
as hlstrionic talent comes into consldera-
ton, and the tableaux might be adjudged
too sentimental. But then they were
raptlrously applauded and, MS they
served their purpose and were then
thought to be quite perfect 1t seems
hardly fair to assume at this date II
I critical attitude.

Among The Easter novelties designed
for this Year for the convenience Of
.hostesses and children alike are elabo-
rate and beautiful Easter pies that
will divide honors with Easter flowers
for table decorations. ,5sya
These pies are Scunningly constructed
of crinkly paper, and hnve their tops
covered with fluffy masses Of Easter
lilies and ribbons, the latter being at
Jtached to- the gifts and serving very
excellent purpose when the time comes
for plums to be pulled out.
Almost equally popular is largo
flower pot, within which blooms a
short-stemned hnlf-blown pink cab
bag % rose, q quaint receptacle for
Easter souvenirs, hidden within Its
petals and dispensed at a luncheon
dinner or supper party. Crouched on
the rim OF tho tloWer-pot, an Easter
bunny holds the white and green rib
bons to BIO used In drawing tho souvo-
Mrs from their place OF 5concealment.
Easter eggs this season arc enor-
nous. and have a pretty lining Of
crepe or fringod paper. A woman
who is going to serve these mann
moth eggs at her Easter break
fast has filled one with q regiment OF
tin soldiers and another with a baby
doll and her wardrobe. a hen and
chickens, miniature Teddy Roosevelt
bears. dnd toy piano arc some other
souvenirs selected. Tho table will be
lighted with a huge electric egg in
the centre of the table.
In so far as tho table service to be
used, there arc many new and nttrac-
tive designs. A salad bowl IS shaped
like a large lettuce head, the plates
representing n single lettuce leaf and
both having tho ubiquitous bunny
pcrchcd perl<ily on the rim.

Miss Ida Romig, librarian, makes
this report Of the public library's
work:
During January 1907 the public
library issued l,767 books and had
2,624 callers.

Total number OF callers during 1906,

The above does not include books
used for reference in the library, as
the open shelf system, together with
