The EASTER LILY

"HE lily is regarded as a saint
amoag flowers. and the reason
FL lilies are so largely used in the
decoration of churches is not
only because they are the most perfect
of floral types. but because of their
symbolic meaning.
One beautiful old belief about the
lily relates that the candidates for the
Virgin Mary's hand after having
sought the Lords blessing each left
his own staff in the temple in the
evening. The next morning the dry
rod of Joseph was found green and
blossomed with lily flowers.
Another pretty legend is that Mary
on her way to the temple plucked a
lily, and upon pressing it to her breast
1t became white. Lilly of the Virgin
madonna flower and several other
mystical names were given to the lily
and have reference to this legend.
A German belief points to the Harz
mountains as the birthplace of the
white lily. A beautiful girl named
Alice was carried off by a wicked
lord. Just as he reached his castle
the guardian spirit of the place wrest-
ed the girl from his arms. On the place
touched by the feet of this innocent
maid sprang the white lily. This story
is believed by the peasants of the
Harz mountains, and every year hun
dreds of them make a pilgrimage to
the castle to behold the dazzling beau
ty of the flower that lourishes there.
Another German legend runs this
way and relates to the 'red" lily:
Once the garden of Gethsemane was
full of flowers of all kinds and among
them none so lovely as the splendid
lily, with her clustering bells proudly
upright. 1t was evening, and the
Lord came to walk in his garden. As
he passed along each flower bowed
before him, but when he came to the
lily her naughty head remained erect.
defiant in her conscious beauty. The
Lord paused and looked at her for a
second. She braved the mild eye of
reproof, then slowly bent her head.
while bushes swept over her. Still
the Lords gaze rested on her. Lower

FIRST CoLORED EGGS.
How and Where This Charming Gus
tom Originated.

III
During the crusades a lady living in
a castle along the line of march re-
ceived some chickens from a nan re-
turning from the east. They were a
great curiosity and highly priced by
their gentle owner.
The men of her family were cru
saders. and their absence was taken
advantage of by some lawless neigh
bors, who commanded her TO abandon
her home and seek refuge in the Black
forest. There she received protection
and kind treatment and lived several
years among very poor peasants. She

time to their instruction. She made a
rule to give a present to each child
at Easter. but each year she had few
err possessions.
This necessity suggested to her the
novel idea of decorating some eggs
with bright colors, and to make them
still more interesting she concealed
them among the dry leaves in the for
est. The children were sent to hunt
them and were greatly astonished and
delighted to find the colored eggs.

M|LLICENT'S LILY

- II. Row beautiful they were,
those Easter lilies! The store
window was full of them, and
not the window only, but the
counter, the shelves that sloped up to
the walls and the floor, so that you
were afraid to walk lest your skirts
should brush against the radiant, per-
fumed Wilderness. Everywhere you
saw tall stems crowned with the
pearly, glistening glory of flowers
whose perfume made you want to
breathe with every part of you.
Millicent stood outside and looked
till her dark eyes seemed tn burn in
her little pale face. She vas about
ten years old, and today was her first

The ragged Millicent started and

lady's face.
"Was you-was you-speaking to

The words faltered from her lips.
Her face clouded sadly as the woman
stared at her, apparently without see
