The Atlanta Journal says: In the
years whole calendar of happiness
there is no lDeelier festival, and, with
the exceptions of Santa Claus day,
none merrier than the Easter egg hunt
Falling as UT does in the first leaf
and bloom OF spring time, when all
the earth is; growing young again.
when skies arc blue and the woods put
on their enclnntment of green, this
holiday becomes the symbol of youth
itself and Of reorient life. And where
was there ever youth without it's at
tendant spirit of quest and adventure? I?
The very winds are gypSieS, the bees
are pirates; forth come the violets like
bue-boused eNporers seeking the
suns scattered gold and the lily comes
forth as a SpOtleSs knight of the holy
grail
Within the heart of men, too, fresh
thoughts and hopes bestir themselves
and go travelling to find the old joys
that were lost in the souls gray win
terrible. Somewhere they are beckon-
ing again in the mystic land of daffo-
= dilis.
This is Easter, 1hetime Of guest and
discovery.

rem of Atlanta gather by thousand to

atioIs have been made this year to

lives. Tomorrow afternoon, provided
the sun is good humored, they will go
forth to their magic search We hope
that every boy and &irl and wee mite
of tot will find all his heart desires

logize the Easter hunt and the birth
of spring and wish joy and success to
