ON EASTER SUNDAY
SHORT REVIEW OF ETIQUETTE

Proper Conduct for the Holy and d.
vineIy Beautiful Sabbath-Undue

Appropriate for Occasion.

you have helped me before. and
now want to ask you something that
you may think very funny. Is there
any sort of etiquette for Easter Sun
day: how to behave at church and
home. you know. because 1t is Easter.
! am not regular In church-going. but
1t seems to me everybody ought to
do the right and polite thing on this
lovely day"
So runs part of sweet girlish let
ter from maid of IT, and take up
my pen. as the old fashioned writer's
used to say. to answer 1t with print
There may be some other girls. and
some very big boys. as well. who
would like to know of proper conduct
on this holy and divinely beautiful
Sabbath
The disgruntled heart and sour
countenance. then. have no place with
Easter joy any more than has the
willful conduct that mocks at a neigh
boris piety. Granted we are sometimes
denied faith. common sense. the mere
fire of spring, will tell us that we have
much to rejoice for. The garment of
the winter-locked earth has been made
over-bud and leaf are near to tell us.
too. that old fears may pass. And
lovely music and Respondent flowers
of the churches are telling us more;
that there must be something in a
story that loses no whit of its sub
lime beauty after two thousand years.
So much for the conduct of the
heart and mind on Easter Sunday.
But II we cannot tune our spirits to
the diviner appeal, let us at least con-
slider the common decencies.
II is the height of bad taste to allow
the tinkling of profane piano tunes
as all music not sacred is-in a
church-going neighborhood on Easter
Sunday. And the man or woman who
goes to divine service only on this
day. and entirely for the purpose OF
hearing the fine music and seeing the
flowers and fashions. must be very
careful of his or her conduct In the
house of prayer. 1t is customary for
non-church members to wait until an
usher comes forward to seat them: for
If they assume the right to seat them
selves. they may be obnoxious to con
sentative pew-holders. This resent
ment may seem Incompatible with
piety on the part of the church mem
bers. but these persons may have in
vited friends to their pews. and the
presence of strangers coming ahead OF
these would doubtless cause consid
cradle embarrassment later on.
Likewise ridiculous displayal OF
new finery comes into the question.

sit is the rendezvous of fashion at this period
Newport and Bar Harbor in midsummer
all that the influx at Easter does not equal that
when the summer excursion business Is at Hood
tide. almost all OF Atlantic Citys one thousand
hotels and boarding houses are open to receive
the spring merrymakers who pour in at the rate
Of 300 carloads n day for several days before
Easter. What the Easter invaders lack in num-
bers they make up in spending power and this
insures them double welcome on the great
amusement highway where the opportunities of
retail trade such that much as $4,000 a
year rental is charged for tiny store room
That the Easter rush seaward means such a
golden harvest for the hotel keepers and mer-
chants at the Brighton of America is all the more
significant when 1t is taken into consideration
that many Of the Easter visitors come only for
the week end"-that Is for the interval from
Friday afternoon to Monday morning.
Atlantic City at Eastertide is the board walk
and the board walk Is Atlantic City In the sum-
mer the great bathing beach is. Of course. the
prime attraction for many of the visitors, but
nobody to indulge in a dip in old ocean at
Easter unless mayhap. 1t be some venturesome
individual in quest of notoriety. This being the
case the board walk becomes the center of attrac-
ton and right well does 1t meet the responsible
ity. Following the example of Atlantic City. al
most every seaside community has erected q
board walk. but the one at Atlantic City is in q
class by ITSELF 1t is upward Of five miles long. is
40 feet wide throughout its main section and cost
more than quarter Of a million dollars.
On the one hand this board walk affords prom
enaders unobstructed view of the sea- while
the other the marine espanade is lined with
hundreds Of restaurants. amusement places of
every imaginable kind and the most fascinating
shops in America. Interspersed at frequent inter
walls art auction rooms large proportion
Of the visitors to Atlantic City women and
of course no woman can resist the temptation of
real bargains-a fact Of which the willy Japs who
conduct these auction emporiums are manifestly
well aware Aside from the never-ending process
sion of variegated humanity, unlimited free
amusement is provided by the picturesque bark
ers. the fakirs. the street musicians and the sand
sculptors who line the board walk Finally great
amusement piers of steel construction-each. in
effect, an annex of the board walk-extend sea-
ward from the beach third of a mile more
and AFFORD visitors all the sensations of life on

piers are the great music halls and concert audi
forums, where held the popular dances for
which Atlantic City is famous.

SILVER ORNAMENTS IN STYLE
Jeweiry Fashion That Has Much te
Recommend II Has Met with
Much Favor.

Silver jewelry has been raised to an
important place in the collection OF
ornaments possessed by the well
dressed woman.
The picturesque costumes of dull.
harmonized tones. or those upon
which the dark, metallic laces are
used are much enhanced by silver
ornaments that do not clash with the
colors of the metal trimmings.
Silver forms beautiful setting for
all semi-precious stones, which give
richness without appalling expense
The filigree and ancient Bohemian
ornaments are now being worn. and
the barbaric Russian designs occupy a
conspicuous place in the jewel casket.
With rich velyets or with airy eve
ming gowns silver jewelry is beautiful
ly combined, lending just a required
touch Of artistic ornament to complete
the picturesque. for which SO many
strive.

Let us plead In favor of the book
plate for all collectors OF library. no
matter how limited in size. No one
can tell to what proportion his book
shelves may expand under the care
and protection that the bookplate i'm
plies.
Given a name in every book-a
pasted-in plate with name and date
the volume is necessarily regarded
with more fondness by Its owner. and
is less likely to remain in some Dor
rower's bookcase.
The bookplate at its simplest is
within the reach of all. The elaborate
and altogether artistic effect-the
finished probationary be an impossi-
bility to many. Don't wait for this.
Consider 1t II you know an artist; one
of the younger illustrators will do the
work at a comparatively low rate
a few dollars. The cut and first
500 pastors will not be exorbitant at
some small printery.

Proper Bookplates

The bookplate is final. 1t goes into
all Of your books for all time. 1t is
seen by you and by many. ard it's by
far more satisfactory to make your
self a tracing of some simple scroll
or book or shield than to own the
feeble effort of a dubious craftsman.
Many are the designs to be cop
led from interesting volumes on illus
trations. There are wreaths, books,
candles. torches, lanterns. old lamps.
each with Its own significance. There
is also the knocker. which is good;
and the doorway. which is better.
Suggestions are here shown for the
design you may choose. The circular
scroll or shield needs no line about it
The leaf and the scroll requires a
square Enclosure as a definite size for
the plate. and the owl and book (sym.
Dol of wisdom and knowledge) is vast
ly improved by the oval lines, which
were drawn around the edge of q
cup.
The bookplate should always pro-
vide ample space for printed or writ
ten name and smaller space for date,
otherwise 1t will have defeated Its
own end.
The plainest bookplate you have sue
ceeded in tracing or drawing may be
taken through the regular process Of
cut-making and printing. or you may
trace each one upon the small piece
of parchment which you have cut the
desired shape and size and ink 1t in.
The actual handmade bookplate Is
not to be despised. although 1t In
wolves a considerable amount of time.

and SO to those who fancy that Easter
Sunday is only for the display of fine
millinery, let me say that persons OF
good taste make point OF rather quiet
church gowns on this day. There
may be something new-indeed. the
moment seems to call for it-but no
hats which obstruct the view of 9TH
ers are worn. while the general get
up suggests rather a quiet richness
than the latest mode.
In the Episcopal church 1t is proper
for members to offer the stranger a
prayer book open at the service, and
for the recipient to endeavor to follow
the readings and prayers with the
proper responses In Catholic
church the stranger must kneel with
all the others with the elevation of
the host. and likewise try to follow
the rest of the service.
To wait only for the musical part
of the service and rush from the
church Immediately before the collec-
tion will signify only one thing to the
scandalized onlooker-the stranger is
too stingy to pay God anything for the

debt, and as the stranger has drunk

Just as he or she would for the tho

Again, II the stranger has received
dear comfort from the service. 1t Is
quite in the books to write the offici-
ating clergyman letter of thanks aft
erwards, when, If the charity can be

sweet thing to enclose bill comfort

Der should Immediately leave the
church, for the little while that inter-

the communion service is spent gen.

lettering and talking with friends in
the vestibule would be very great
nuisance.
