Chapter From the Lives of Margaret of
 Austria and the Duke of Savoy.
 Margaret of Austria. on pilgrimage in the early part of the sixteenth cen tury, stopped for a few days at the castle of Bron. set in the midst of the forests that surrounded the little viii lage of Bresse. Not only did all the nobles and stately danes from nearby castles ride to the castle of Bron to pay homage to the beautiful daughter of the Emperor Maximilian. but the peasant folk as well planned extra games and festivities in her honor for the Easter Monday. which the prin- cess was to pass with them.
 Margaret was gracious and lovely and, with her train \of nobles, danes and maidens. came from the great cas- tie to the village common and watched the simple games and happy dancing on that Easter Monday long ago with little thought in her heart of what it was all to mean to her Soon the royal party, imbued with the happy hearted mirth and jollity of the occasion. be- gan to do more than look on and took part in the gaines as gayly as the lowliest peasant lass In the village
 Just as the eggs had been strewn over the fresh laid sand and all was in readiness for the egg dance horn was heard blowing from the nearby forests, and forth from its depths is- sued a gallant troop of men at run. led by the knightly figure of Philibert the Fair, duke of Savoy.
 The years had not been many since Margaret of Austria, a slim slip of child. had played in these same old forest wilds with a sturdy boy whom years of warfare and turmoil had changed into the soldier prince who was now before her. Margaret had not forgotten those early days of childish love and courtship, and her heart was throbbing with a sweet. wild joy as in answer to the entreaties of Philibert the Fair she joined with him the happy couples gliding and cir cling through the mazes of the egg dance.
 Loud rang the cries of the peasantry as the princely couple without mishap stood breathless and flushed at the end of the dance.
 Austria and Savoy forever!' rang clear the cry, and as simply as a peas ant lass might have accepted her rus tic lover did the stately Margaret lay her hand in that of her princely suitor in answer to his words:
 'Let us. too. follow the custom of Bresse."

STORY OF THE
 CLEARER VlSION
AN EASTER INCIDENT.

WT was Easter Sunday. The streets
 were thronged with we'll dressed E people on their way to church,
 and the spring air was full of the joyous sound of bells.
 "What a hollow mockeryr' thought one sad faced woman as she stood amid the worshipers in the crowded transept. The sun shone duly through the painted windows, and, the lilies sprang away from the pillars they en- wreathed as though they yearned to- ward its warmth and radiance. The organ tones trembled through the scented gloom and then rose to q crescendo of glad. triumphant strains.
 The pastor stretched out his hands toward the kneeling flock and spoke of the butterfly and the chrysalis, the marvel of revivifled and blossoming earth. Yet his words were meaning less, cold and empty in the ears of the sad, black robed woman who sought in vain for consolation. She looked ,longingly at the happy. prosperous people about her.
 Were they indeed those mansions of SOu OI WHICH tue EeGiOE Spohtf hha these people found them7 Why, then. were they barred to herr Ah. in her bitterness she doubted if she really cared for such joys. All she yearned for was the one tender. human smile which they told her was forever ban- ished. Her heart rose up in a spasm of rebellion. It could not be true that anything so good was irrevocably gone.
 Christ is risen--is risen from the dead" sang the choir. But the sad and lonely woman turned and left the church.
 That afternoon she walked along country roads. through the delicious odors of tic spring filled air. As she trod the brown meadows the sky was aglow with the dulling gold of the sunshine, and the wind bore to her the scent of fresh hyacinths.
 Still she wandered on. unheeding, ab- sorbed in the bitterness of her own

Easter Eggs In Egypt.

Back in old Egypt. long before the Christian era, eggs were worshiped as the symbol of nature rousing from the sleep of the winter months, and in accordance with this worship each spring Egyptian artists would vie with each other in embellishing ostrich eggs with rare designs. gorgeous in color and unique in design. So decorated the eggs were fitting gifts for royalty itself

WHITE SERCES ARE
POPULAR AS EVER
Styles Are Simple and Braid
the Chief Decoration.

For the spring days and for cool
summer hours there is something In
describable in the comfort and style
OF a white serge dress. The new
models are more attractive than ever.
They are made quite simply and de-
pend largely upon the fine quality OF
serge and upon a simple decoration
OF braid or patch embroidery.
The styles are many. The one piece
idea is the most general and not with
out just cause, for every woman who
has enjoyed the ease and neatness of
this kind of frock will insist upon q
continuance OF the comfortable style.
Braid is perhaps the dominant note
of decoration on white serge dresses.
Wide silk braid is used to outline sail
or collars and deep cuffs and to form
the new deep yokes. 1t is In white
generally or In red or blue and 10 COM
bined with silk or thick thread to dec
crate the dress.
The simple kimono blouse IL used on
many OF these frocks. and LA some
cases n yoke effect OF conventional
embroidery 10 given by wool or yarn.
Buttons, too, are quite the effective
trlnming for these frocks. These can
be OF black velvet or silver or 6flt
Tiny ones are arranged I'm straight
tines on the sleeves and bodice. They.
OF course, should be removed before
the cleaning.
White serge dresses for little ones
or for grownups are practical. They
are washed easily, they are good look
ing, and they dye with great success.
And they are more popular than ever.
