Interesting Easter Items.

Among the Gregorian Armenians the
periodical "blessing of the house"
takes place at Easter. This consists
Of the repetition OF prayer by the
priest. accompanied by the burning OF
incense and the sprinklng with holy
water In the "sala," or central room Of
the house.
On Easter eve In the Albanian high
lands the young men assemble with
lighted torches. which they wave
about as they walk in procession
through the village. Arriving at the
nearest stream. they throw them In.

torches; so mayest thou never re-

to bless the house on Easter day the
women throw hot einbers after him as
he leaves In order that he may take
away all danger f'O:n fire.

These pots contained five Easter lily
bulbs which Lucy had been surrep-

and watered in secrecy, she had not

pleasure Of having her plants grace the
