Homemade Easter Novelties

Easter is always the season of novelties
for exchange between friends. Though
the giving of gifts is not as customary
as at Christmas time, many people feel
that unless they are remembered by
friends there is something lacking. The
postcards bearing Easter greetings, are
in such common use that any inexpensive
novelty which may be substituted for
them is, indeed, welcome.
Many such novelties can be made at
home at a comparatively low cost. An
egg-shaped bag of very light green or yell
low ribbon can be made with hole in
the larger end and a loop of ribbon at the
smaller. Into this a ball of Irvine is placed
SO that the Irvine may be drawn out
through the hole This is, indeed, useful
household article. To make 1t more of an
Easter gift, Easter flowers may be painted
or stamped on the ribbon.

Easter chimes were pealing far and
wide DER the great city in the sunny
March air, calling together the ransomed
to sing 'Hesanna in the Highest, Christ
is Risen''
For the first time since her childhood
Isabel Hathaway was not going to
church.
Her new Easter gown was modishly
fashioned, her Easter ohapeau was in
the latest style, immediately gloved, her
pretty feet shod with the newest of
spring pumps, her prayer book tightly
held in her nervous, fingers, she was
making her way toward the silent woods
rather than the crowded edifiee.
What queer IMPULSE had come upon her
not to attend church?
| She, the daughter OF the rector of the
most fashionable parish In the city. whose
life had been lived according to the most
conservative and clrcumspect methods, all
these 80 years, now suddenly felt this
| insistent impulse to reject the service on
this most important day of the year and
spend her Easter morning among the

to give up what to her might have been

Arriving at the end of the car line,

city's dust and smoke, she walked slowly

She turned from the lake and start

a step behind her among the dead
oak leaves. She heard someone hum

she had selected for the choir to sing
that day and her heart stood still.
DAYS grow longer, sunbeams stronger

She trembled like a leaf and her lit

It Is Easter Now

You may know by the crimson fire
On the tips of the briar,
BY the creeping green that scales
All the upland wales,
BY the faint, soft fiutterings
AS of fedgeling wings
BY the flush on the evenings brow
That it's Easter now.
You may know by the voice of the rills
On the climbing hills,
BY the sound of the robins flute
And the stir at the root
or the frost-sere reed and rush
In the high noon hush,
By the pulse in the poplar bough
That it's Easter now.
You may know by the radiant stir
When the stars confer
In the heart OF the night, by the light
On the mountain height,
BY subtle inner sense
That filings off pretense-
BY your own low-spoken VOW,
That it's Easter nowl

Yes, it's real clock, but the mouse

trained, and, unlike it's frisky sisters
and brothers in real life, moves very
slowly-the barest fraction of an inch a

brass figures one side and the white
mouse patiently climbing up a narrow

brass figures the clock strikes. But when
1t reaches No. 1 at the top, true to the
nursery rhyme, the mouse falls to the
bottom of the groove and has to begin
its weary climb all over again. Don't
think this is a cheap novelty. 1t costs
$40, beautifully finished in mission or ma
