With one accord they vanished from

The Easter Window.

Twas Eastertide, and Easter gowns
Approached the window space,
Where each was told in accents mild
To occupy her place.
With maiden joy the Organdie
ESsayed to take her stand
Just where she thought the morning
sun
Could slyly kiss her hand.
And then the Grenadne walked up
With lace and frills galore
And crowded to the foremost place
Upon that showroom floor,
Unmindful of the modest Cloth,
With military braid
Or dainty Lawn or dotted Swiss
Or natty Tailor made.
But all her grace began to place
When, with a naughty stride,
The Brocade Silk moved in apace
And babe them all aside.
Eve held the leading place." she said
I'm yonder gay Pahree.
My Louis Fourteenth neck must show
My birth of high degree.
''At every ball enter first,
At drawing rooms and teas
Keep off my train. you Linen Miss
What country pumpkins these!''
With that the Purple Velvet frowned,
The Breakfast Gown turned green,
While one by one the passersby
Looked in upon the scene.

The Easter Cherub.

She had been to Easter service,
This sweet, grave maiden of four.
The lilies were set in perfumed aisles
From the altar down to the door.
Fragrance and light were about her,
Anthems ecstatic were sung,
While tho air was full of the Ginning
From bells In the tower hung.
The light from a violet window
Fell over picture there.
1t lit the tall cross beside it
With a glory radiant, fair,
A picture of the Lord Jesus
Coming away from the tomb,
With cherub faces above him
And angels forms in the gloom.
The children bore away lilies,
Each in tightly shut hand,
Bore them to homes rich or humble,
A sweet. happy Easter band.
And baby was shown a new sister,
Come on the glad Easter morn,
A child Of lilies and chimes and hope,
A child on the Easter day born.
A fond smile came to her features,
A glad light shone in her eyes.
"Is glad for dat baby angel.

day.
Lucy Grant went straight home from
the tea party, and, evading the curious
questions of the bedridden aunt with
whom she lived, she made her way to
the cellar and from a dim corner
brought forth five 1owerpots.
These pots contained five Easter lily
bulbs which Lucy had been surrep-
titiously forcing for the decoration of
Mr.. Cranes reading desk. Planted
and watered in secrecy, she had not
known how she was to attain the
pleasure of having her plants grace the
pulpit on Easter Sunday. Now all was
clear. AS member of the flower com
mittee she would come forward at the
last minute with her offering-Easter
lilies were rare in Montbank village.

The friendship which bound the
three spinsters together before the adj

Happily Easter sped on apace, and
all too soon came the Saturday before
the sacred day, to the real meaning OF

given much thought.

I know the sting of death-its victory
Since one more dear than mine own life
is dead,
And 1 can nevermore be comforted,
Whatever love may come in years to be-
Till God give back what death has
wrenched from me.
Yet We may Stay my hope. Who was it
said:
There is no resurrection for such dead.
What thou hast lost has persisted utterly?"
False seer! My dead shall live again, l
know.
Those eyes-once, oh. so kind!-shall smile
again,
And the dear hands that wrought but
good to me
Hold mine in warm, close clasp l can
forego
Life's solace and be patient with its pain
Until the daybreak and the shadows flee
Katherine E. Conway.
Rejoice, happy JUDAH Thy sorrow is
done.
Thy King is assembled and victory won
His kingdom is love; he is waiting to
save,
And life is victorious DER death and the
grave.
Look up and rejoice, all We children of
men.
Beyond the night shade shines the morn
ing again.
With saints, priests and prophets our
voices we raise
In the blessing of hope and the beauty of
praise.
No ear may hear his coming
But in this world of SIM
Where meek souls will receive him still

Melinda's Easter Hat.

Melinda Waters went to town,
And in a milliner'S shop
She saw a turban with a plume
OF whiskbroom shape on top.
She bought a frame untrimmed, and
home
She hied, and down she sat.
With Jeremiahs shaving brush
She decked that Easter hat.
Melinda Waters set the style.
She went to church, and, 10,
Now every man for miles around
Must let his whiskers grow,
For all her friends beheld her hat
And marked the plume upon it.
And each one took a shaving bush
To trim her Easter bonnet.

Lies in Bessie's bonnet.
Yet, though 1 have sung the spell

Who would care to con it?

port, which drew forth MitcbelPs speech
and which was adopted by the conven-
tion, among other things declared:
ave say that when your cause Is just
and every other remedy has been en-
ployed without result, boycott; We say
that when the employer has determined
to exploit not only adult male labor, but
our women and children, and our reason
ing and appeal to bis fairness and his
conscience will not sway him, boycott;
We cav that when labor has been op.
pressed, browoeaten, and tyrannizsd,
boycott; We say that when social and
political conditions become so bad that
ordiusry remedial measures are fruitless,
boycott; and, finally, we say we have q
right to boycott, and we propose to ex.
erciss that right. In the application Of
this right OF boycott to pafGphrase the
