 BALCONY ICE CREAM-The la dies of the Central M. F. church south, will serve ice cream this after noon on the balcony in the Jones Dry Goods Store, the management having rendered the ladies that privilege.

OBJECTS TO NEW STYLE HATS
An Episcopal Rector Calls Them In
verted Baskets.

Detroit, Mich, April Girls who
have the new spring hats like in
,verted baskets, with wide, dropping
brims that come down over their
faces, had better not go to communion
i'll them, at least not to st. George
Episcopal church, where the Rev. Jo-
seph Sheern administers the rite.
For the minister has found the lat
est headgear a great handicap in ad-
ministering the sacrament. When a
row, topped with the flower bedecked
baskets, kneels at the chancel rail and
leans forward slightly in the attitude
of prayer, the minister, standing OH
the other side, cannot see the faces.
That in itself is misfortune, but
it is nothing to the discontinue that
results when the rector has to offer
the chalice to a pair of dainty lips
he cannot see. As he explained to mis-
Pensioners, he has to guess where the
girls mouths are, and he doesn't know
whether he is getting the cup within
two or three inches of the right place
1t is most annoying.
My experience leads me to object
most decidedly to the wearing of the
new Easter bonnets at communion, -
he told his parishioners.

of various people to books along their
special line of work.
Through the courtesy of Superln-
tendent Mcconnell and Rev. A f.
Winter the children of the public
schools and the Lutheran school from
the kindergarten to the seventh grade
were permitted to visit the library,
one grade at a time. A brief illus
trated talk was given each group on
the care of books, the arrangement
of the books in the children's room,
and the general tidiness of the room
itself Judging from the excellent re-
suits of these visits as observed by
teachers and librarians, both the
schools and the library may profit
greatly by an occasional repetition of
the plan The attitude of the school
children of Mankato towards institu-
tons is most pleasing.

Easter Suggestions

The idea of serving eggs at Easter
is custom which one must follow if
one wishes to keep strictly to the
Easter ideals Not only are they sup
posed to symbolic the resurrection,
but they were used to typify the re-
turn of spring and the resurrection of
nature more than thousand years be-
fore the birth of Christ; so if the
day is to be begun in the proper spirit,
eggs and some Appropriate cake must
be served at the Easter breakfast. In
the selection of cakes, there is no
special rule for any one kind, but usu-
ally the hot cross bun is the popular
cake both in America and England, UNI
less other cakes, the recipes for which
have been handed down through gen
erations of old country housewives are
used. There is no set rule for the
menu of any meal on Easter, with the
exception that as many fresh vege-
tables as are obtainable should be
served, and, if it is within the means
of the hostess, hot mouse lamb. 1t ia,
however, the fault of the hostess if
all her guests and members of her
family do not retire with the feeling
that Easter has indeed been a JOYOUS
forerunner of the bright spring days
to come.

Easter eggs in pink, blue, green yellow,
scarlet, or i'll fact, in any desired
shade, may be served in edible form as
part of the Easter luncheon. To make
them one perforates an eggshell re-
moving the contents, according to a
time honored method with which everv
one is familiar. A liquid custard is
then made of gelatne, to which the
coloring is added in confectioner's
sugar, which can be had in all these
colors. and even includes violet This
is poured into the eggshell by means
of tiny funnel, and allowed to hard
ell. When set" the she'll is care
fully removed and the colored eggs
heaped up in a center dish upon a
pretty dolly of fringed white paper.
An appetizing centerpiece for Eas-
ter function is an egg salad in tie
semblance of half gigantic egg. One
dozen, or even two according to the
number of persons to be served, are
boiled hard and peeled before cooling
The yolks and white are chopped up
fine separately OF ground in a mortar
as one prefers. Both are blended with
salad dressing, care being taken not
to make them too moist. The yOlks
are then placed in the center of the
serving platter and moulded as nearly
as possible into the form of the gold
Ell half ball that appears when an egg
is divided lengthwise. Around this is
heaped the white to carry out the re-
semblance. A fringe of green lettuce
leaves about the edge carries out still
further the idea of vernal freshness,
which should be feature of spring
time luncheon.
A most satisfactory way to color
Easter eggs, for the children:
Nothing pleases children SO much
as to color eggs for Easter and way
that is new to many is to use the
outer peeling of dry onions. Wrap
enough of the peel around SO as to
completely cover it and confine the
peel by putting "a soft thin cloth
around the egg. Next place the eggs
in pan of boiling water and let boil
from ten to fifteen minutes The re-
suit is a pretty iridescent effect that
is quite an improvement on the strong
coloring that comes from using the
dyes that are bought, and besides are
much less injurious to childrens frocks
hands. and in fact everything that
gets in the way when there is a sea
son of egg dyeing.

tried to draw herself back into the
saddle. 1t was almost beyond her.

self up into the saddle.
