faith and happiness There are thousands of these long-drawn-out courtships
in which youth changes to middle e. IN chances of motherhood dwinde to

ness with another
They allow themselves to BIZ monopohzed without the warrant of a betrothal
and they submit to endhsse engagements when a change Of tactics might bring
matters to a crisis
1 knew one handsome girl who wasted ten years oil er life on a man who
could not bring himself to the point of giving up his freedom till he a n

That is the change of tactics som men need.
There's are plenty of men who call SO steadily upon young wome that other

of compensating her by a bit of amusement now an then-a play, a concert

I'm the same stores l see rabbits

information. What have rabbits to
do with Easter? Were there rabbits
running around when the day first
dawned? Should we eat fried, baked
or broiled rabbit on that day? I have
read all that history has to say of
Easter, and / cannot find that it is
connected with hens, eggs and rabbits.
Then, why these things? Why?'
Everybody was still staring and no
body trying to explain when the con-
ductor came in and whispered a few
words in the mans ear.
"All right replied the latter, with a
smile. as he passed out and dropped
off.
What did you say to him ?" asked a
fat man in a hoarse whisper. s

THE MAN THAT INQUIRED.

There were thirty-four passengers on
the trolley car as it gaily bounded
along, and each and every one seemed
happy and contented when a mar near
the front door rose up n said;
Ladies and Gentlemen-Easter is at
hand again, and I want to ask a ques-
tion. 1 see Easter eggs of three or four
oolors in the groceries. What have
eggs got to do with Easter? Why
hard-boiled eggs instead of fried or
scrambled ?'
Everybody looked his way and some
faces took on a puzzled expression, but
nobody answered.
I'm the confectionery stores l see toy

have chickens to do with Easter more
than with Valentine Day? l ask for in
formation"
One man cleared his throat as If
about to speak, but then changed his

Can you give me something of the
legend of the Holy Grail referred to in
James Russell Lowell's Vision of Sir
Launfal?" NEW READER.
lin medieval legend the Holy Grail
Is a cup or chalice supposed to have
been,of emerald, used by Christ at the
Last Supper. In this vessel Joseph of
Arimathea caught the last drops of
Christ's blood as He was taken from
the cross. BY Joseph, according to one
account, it was carried to Britain.
Other accounts affirm that it was
brought by angels from heaven and en-
trusted to a body of knights, who
guarded it on the top of a mountain;
when approached by any one not per
fectly pure, it vanished from sight. The
grail having been lost it became the
