EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

Christ, the Lord, is risen, and
therefore 1 must get me a new hat
and gown with which to celebrate this
great anniversary.
Sounds terrible, doesn't it?
Makes you positively shudder at it's
bald irreVerence.
And yet that is substantially what
thousands of American women are
saying by their manner of celebrating
Easter day.
What are you going to have new
for Eastern" Nearly everywhere in
the last few weeks of Lent you hear
that question.
And in the dressmaker's little back
shops and in the millinery work
rooms, overwrought nerves, tired
fingers, and throbbing eyes are kept at
their tasks twelve and fifteen hours a
day to answer that question.
Truly we are doing almost as well
with Easter as we have with Christ
mas.
know girl who stayed home from
church last Easter because ST didn't
have a single new thing to wear and I
felt too shabby"
1 know two other girls who went to
church on Easter for the first time in
two or three months to wear their
Easter suits and hats.
Just think for a moment of what
Easter means.
Easter is the day above all Christian
holy days-even above Christmas. it
seems to me-Which should hold the
fullest significance for Christians.
1t celebrates the greatest belief of
mankind, the belief in Immortality.
Easter is the day which gives its
meaning and its right to be to that
magnificent chant of st. Pauls which
sums up the greatest outcome of the
Greatest Mans life -
"O death, where is thy sting?
o, grave, where is thy victory?"
And we are making this wonderful
of wonderful days, a day dedicated to
clothes, a day when we stay at home
from worship because we are shabby,
or go because we have new garments
to show off, day to prepare for
which we let our less fortunate sisters
suffer the agonies of oyerwork.
No, there is nothing wrong in liking
beautiful things. There is nothing un-
seemly in discarding ones dark winter
garments and trying to make oneself
more in harmony with the beautiful
spring things about one.
But it seems to me there IS great
harm in allowing the clothes interest
to obscure the meaning of Easter as
much as we American women are in
danger of doing.
Don't you agree with me?

NOW A WORD ABOUT THE
BREAD YOU EAT

You must have bread, some kind,
either make it at home or buy It
from some bakery or grocer.
You have doubtless tried many
kinds of bread, you have heard Of
Weston Bread. If you have not
tried a loaf of Weston bread, you
have missed an opportunity. Once
you sample the solid nutritious loaf,
you will be constant user of Wes-
ton.
1t is the loaf. wrapped in a dust
proof. germ proof wrapper. The
bread is worth the dime, but the
wrapper has value as we'll Save
them and for your effort, as an in
ducement to visit our store. we will
give you valuable premiums, dainty,
exclusive and which you will be
proud to own. There is no bread
which will so universally please its
users. There is no loaf larger for
the same money. The value of the
wrapper or the cash register checks
do not deminish the excellency of
the loaf. ~
