THE CELEBRATION OF EASTER

tDame Curtsey in Record Herald
The celebration of Easter is almost
as universal as Christmas, and how
children love ii. All the symbols are
so beautiful and even the smallest
child may be taught the wonderful
significance of The resurrection as IT
comes to us with every return of
spring
Ihere are many charming devices
FOR entertainment to be given during
Easter week, but the time-bonored egg
hunt is best loved by boys and girls.
Let me tell of this original way of
varying the hunt" Have all kinds of
eggs, of candy, china, favor eggs and
the real fruit of the hen. gilded, sill
Vered and colored Then make n big
score card and put up where it NAV
easily be consulted. Place a value on
the different eggs, a gold one TO count
lWeiity; silver, ten; blue ones. five;
candy ones, four; the very smallest
one etc. Then for every special prize
raFof eggs, fifty will be the score Give
the guests baskets or silk bags for the
spoils and have plenty of assistants
10 help the children add up their eggs
correctly, each one to keep what he
on she finds and besides, have rewards
ior the best scores. This will add zest
10 the hunt and take fully an hour
II the weather is fine some of the eggs
might be hidden out doors. The cen.
tefpiece for this party may be a huge
ess IN a nest of tinsel and imitation
grass; on cracking the egg it will be
FOUND to contain an egg or Easter
favor for each guest.
A sport almost as old as Easter n.
selt Is what is called "faire bee" or

nouncement:
Three years ago a great injustice
was done a student of this university.
Elmer Ward. member of the present
senior class, after being in college but
a few months, was expelled for enter

Recently a man who much resembled
Ward has been convicted of another
offense and confessed that Ward had
been mistaken for him. The party
that entered the store were not stu
dents, as was supposed. Mr.. Ward,
who has continued his studies with tu-
tors, has been again received among
US and will henceforth be considered
member of his Glass;
Then it was known that Ward and

son. 1t was also soon known that he
was the betrothed of Miss Trevor and
that she had inspired him to gain q
