Triumph II Millinery.
But The great triumph of this Easter

past showing that fashion as well as
history repeats itself From the gay
DAYS OF Louis the Grand many of the

during good and bad fortune. This
same princess introduced the Gainsbor-
ough in France and after that vogue
waned. the hat which is now on sale
in Salt Lake stores as ''the Louis
XVI. bat' became popular 1t is small
er than the recent large hats and as
adaptable. Some Of the other modish
millinery styles which will be exhibited

spicuous buckle Many of the fair

Important Day in Churches.
In the churches Easter is one of the
most important days of the year. An
thcms and paeans CT praise, signifying
Joy over the resurrection of Christ, will
be sung aud special sermons will be
given. The spirit of the day is one of
great rejoicing marking the end of the
Lenten period of sackcloth and ashes.
Easter always occurs between March
81 and April %. II falls on the Sun
day next following the fourteenth day
of the paschal moon, or within fourteen
days after the vcrnal equinox. The
name Easter is derived from Eostra, the
Anglo-Saxon Goddess of Spring and The;
fourth month corresponding to April
was called the Easter month, Socrates
recorded the fact that the apostles did
not celebrate Easter or any other fes-
tival. He says they were too busy pro
noting lives of blamclessness and piety
TO pay any attention TO festivals,
Observance Ancient Custom.
The observance of the old Jewish
paschal festival became Il rule early
in ;hc Christian church, but so many
misunderstanding occurred concerning
the precise date that Emperor Constan-
line decided to summon the council of
Nice which was TO fix a date. The as
sembled prcutes agreed that Easter
should be observed on the same day
throughout the world, but left the mat
ter to the Bishop Of Alexandria, who
was to announce the day annually to all
the churches under his jurisdiction
Then arose controversy as to how The
full moon, on which Easter depended
was to be predicted. 1t was then es-
tablished as a rule that Easter must be
kept on Sunday, but various churches
selected different Sundays until the
English archbishop, Theodore, adopted
the Roman rule III 669. A fresh dis
crepancy arose nine centuries later
when England refused to adopt the
Gregorian calendar. This lasted from
1852 to 1752 when Pope Gregory s cal
endaI was adopted in the United King
dom. Ever since then tho rule given
in the foregoing has governed the Sc,
