dren in the Beginners and Primary
departments land their Easter offer,
ing. These were followed by repre-
sentatives from each class in every
department of the school. bearing the
united gifts of their respective classes.
The presence of the little people of
ments, with their songs and recita-
tiOns; the beautiful song service, the
orchestra and Quartette, the fine at
tendance and the large Offering all
combined to make this a memorable
Easter service for the school.
Seven hundred and twelve members
OF the school were present and the
offering was $1,000.
The Easter concert, The Holy
City" given by the choir on Sunday
evening, was great success. The
cantatas given by this choir on pre-
viOus occasions, at the Christmas
and Easter seasons have always met
with popular tribute, but never be-
fore was there a larger audience pres
ent than that which filed to overflow
ing the auditorium on Sunday evening.
The program was published with the
libretto, so that the audience could
readily follow the work of the choir
and this innovation was thoroughly
appreciated by all. The chorus work
was all that could be desired and they
were quick in response and entered
into their work with an enthusiasm
that was commendable. The various
solo parts were taken by Mrs. Roy II.
Kemble, Mrs Harry f. Douglas, Miss
Mabel Ware; Roy II. Kemble and Mr..
Gordon. The quartette work was well
balanced and was hearty and sincere.
An interesting feature was the respon-
sive work of the quartette in echo
during the solo of Mr.. Gordon, Mrs.
Roy II. Kemble, Mrs. Claire ID. Gordon

accompanying the quartette.

Easter At The Churches
Special Services and Exercises Concentrating the Great
Annual Feast Day.

Easter, for Oskaloosa, was a splen-
did day. almost ideal as to weather
conditions. Not a drop of rain fell
during the day and aside from a north
west wind that blew a little cold at
times, the day was all that could be
desired. Elaborate services were
held at most OF the churches of the
city where special attention had been
paid to floral decorations. Elaborate
musical programs marked the wor-
ship and both morning and evening
ceremonies were witnessed and heard
by record breaking attendance. Sun
day school services were also special
in character with attendance nj top
notch figures. Collections were larg'
er than usual and the day may be
counted as one of the successful Eas-
tiers known locally in many years.
Aside from the religious signiti.
canoe of the day, Easter is made a
time for a personal awakening in the
direction OF adornment and Sunday
was no exception to the rule. New
gowns and new millinery were to be
seen on all sides. Men We're nattily
attired in new suits and new hats
neCkwear, shoes. etc. Women were
handsome and girls sweet and pretty
in new gowns, new millinery, new
rlOaks and wraps and pretty shoes
all the way from purest white to
blacklist velvet. Many people were
on the streets during the afternoon
and early evening. The crowds We're
in happy and cheerful mood and the
celebration of the day was more
elaborate than ever before.
Neither were the kddis forgotten
and there were egg decorations, Eas
ter eggs and Dummies, special contec
tions, little chickens and a host OI
other things that please the children
Easter souvenirs were more largely
INDUCED between friends than il
previous seasons and everywhere was
manifest a holiday spirit, even in the
business relations of the day proceed
ing, that was something akin tC
Christmas activity.

even a hope, but a deep seated con-

was the presence of this conviction

effect differs in each type. Once

This year Miss Fry had given much
time to the preparation of her part
of the programs which was not with,
out its reward in the appreciation OF
the audiences. Miss Williams had
added few voices to the usual choir
and the anthems and solo work were
up to her usual high standard of eX,
cellence. The program of recitations
and music given by the Sunday school
at 4:30 was enjoyed by every one
present. All who took part acquitted

A Washington woman has been
imprisoned for threatening to kill a

and admission to a certain elect social
circle. The announcement indicates
that burglar methods are also break

Americans have always been noted
for wanting what they want when they
want it-and just because a lady lives
on Dupont Circle and has lots of
money she cannot cease being human.
In the days Of the ave-dwellers it
was customary to kill the fellow who
got in the way-and as the female Of
the species is still deadlier than the
