 show your ignorance by accusing her of vanity. She, no doubt, has delved deep in old-time lore and puts full faith in the ancient belief that one must wear some ar ucie of dress for the first time on Easter Sunday to insure good fortune in love affairs through the year. Also, young women with Easter hats have been known to weep because of rain on Easter Sunday. However. the cause of this phenomenon has ab- solutely nothing to do with the effect of rain upon ribbons and feathers. These maidens believe, no doubt, with the good folk of Sussex that the crops are sure to fail if 1t rains on Easter Sunday, for rain on that day portends rain for every day in the following year.
 So you see there are good and suffi- cient reasons for the annual fuss and trouble over the Easter hat As an outward and visible symbol of the in- ner joyousness it Is almost as Chris tianity. Of course the connection be-
 
 strosity that looks like an old wooden chopping bowl sprouting forth S small truck garden may not be ap- parent to all. We must leave that point to the owners of the hats who, Prof. Munsterberg tells us, are not so intellectual as men but are more subtle in reasoning powers. It is to be hoped that the professor knows what this means.
 After the Easter bonnet, the most widely known Easter symbol Is the colorcd egg Tho presence of the egg in our Easter celebration has been accounted for in a variety of ways. With it's wonderful dormant germ of life it is truly marvellous thing. It is found in every oriental cosmogony and it is not a. all surprising that the early Christians adopted it as a sa- cred symbol, for it is perfect and apt emblem of the resurrection. At first the eggs were colored only red in allusion to the blood of the redemp- tion.
 This custom of coioring eggs is older than Christianity, for it is known to have been common among all ancient people. The Parsees dis tributed red eggs at their spring fes- tival, and among the Egyptians, Per sians and Gauls the egg was the en- blem of universal life. We find En Aryan myth which typifies the spring season by an egg painted red or gold.
 The Persians, even to the present day, on, a certain festival in March, present one another with colored eggs, in memory of the two brothers who in ancient times broxe together two eggs. one containing good and the other evil spirits. thus mixing the good and evil in the world.
 The Romans had a spring festival during which they ran races on egg sAaped tracks and received eggs as 1Sises. These games were in honor .ne Castor aaA Pollux, the twin sons Of

Il had been troubled some time

was until a friend suggested that per-
haps it might be caused by coffee
drinking. l tried leaving off the coffee
and began drinking Postum. The
change came quickly. I am now glad
to say that am entirely well of the
heart trouble and attribute the relief
to leaving off coffee and the use of
Postum.

doned the old fashioned coffee and

Recognizing the great truth of this
crue to our commonwealth through

these lands have not gone to actual
settlers, but have been disposed of to

q provision that the voters at the time

In order to make the choice of the
