ON EASTER SUNDAY
SHORT REVIEW OF ETIQUETTE
FOR THE DAY.
Proper Conduct for the Holy and Di-
tinely Beautiful Sabbath-Undue
Display Of New Finery Not
Appropriate for Occasion.

You have helped me before, and
now I 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 a sweet girlish let
ter from a maid of II, and take up
my pen, as the old fashioned writer's
used to say, to answer it 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.
Etiquette for Easter Sunday? All
me, how many sermons might be writ
ten on the subject, for when is there
a moment for more scrupulous be-
havior? The book of mere politeness
/ am sorry to say, cut and dried po-
likeness rarely touch upon the holier
things. But upon the four walls of
the church which is so solemnly and
jubilantly chanting its praises to God
for everlasting life is written in let
tiers of deathless fire all the sublime
meaning of Easter. To the heart and
mind, too, that can see at all there
Is all the world rejoicing for the one
thing-that the tomb of Joseph of
Arimathea has given up it's dead Ell
quette for Easter Sunday? All, it be-
gins with some faith in this great
story; or else in beautiful, even rev.
erential respect for all those who
have it. It continues with gratitude
for the new life that is shown in field
and tree, in freshened heart for all
earth; in love that strives to forget
self in all the little dealings, at home
and abroad, with mere existence.
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
bor's 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 it's sub
lime beauty after two thousand years.
So much for the conduct of the
heart and mind on Easter Sunday.
But If we cannot tune our spirits to
the diviner appeal, let us at least con-
slider the common decencies.
1t 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 a ridiculous displayal of
new finery comes into the question,
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 it is proper
for members to offer the stranger q
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-
ton will signify only one thing to the
scandalized onlooker-the stranger Is
too stingy to pay God anything for the
radiant moment that they have en-
joyed. AS to the Easter collection, it
is generally taken up for a church
debt, and as the stranger has drunk
in some of that burdened temples
dearest sweetness why not pay for it
just as he or she would for the the
alter or opera? Don't be mean then
with your 1.-THE when the plate comes
round on Easter Sunday, for if you do
nothing else you will at least pay your
way
Again, if 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
afforded, it would be the right and
sweet thing to enclose bill comfort
ably big for the good gentleman's
poor. After the service the non-mem-
Der should Immediately leave the
church, for the little while that inter-
venes between the benediction and
the communion service is spent gen.
orally by the devout in prayer, and so
lettering and talking with friends in
the vestibule would be a very great
nuisance.
Concerning any talk and other So

costs as much abroad as at home, al
though over there they do not clamor

Shackleton in the Saturday Evening

buy meat or meat bones for as low as
four cents or even two cents a pound.
And, too, there are often poor qualities
In good cuts; and the British, with
characteristic impertinenee, refer TO the
worst qualities AS "American,' quite
regardless Of their origin.
