Easter Egg Hunt

No Easter tide is complete for the chl- dren without an egg hunt. If the weather permits this should be out of doors. Hide eggs of all sizes and colors, hard boiled and candy ones, in every conceivable place. If the party is large one there should be four prizes. one to the child getting the golden egg (gilded}. one for finding the silver egg, one for finding the most and one for the child who finds the egg marked .third prize" The prizes should be some of the many Easter novel; ties. or candy boxes filled with candy eggs. A pot of jonquils or hyacinths Is a suitable prize if the winner is about or 10 years old. Serve ice cream. rabbit shaped cookies and bon-bons There is a very old game called "egg pick that the children could play after the hunt. Use only hard boiled eggs: child strikes out with his egg at one held by another child and whose egg breaks or cracks first wins the other egg. If there is a hill conren- fentlyS placed or even a slight slant 10 the ground, there may be an egg rolling on small scale. such as the children had in Washington at the Whitx House for many yearA

1 Fairy Prince; she could never have the lovely clothes like the Beautiful Lady, but she could have the same pretty nails and | glossy hair and gentle voice and sweet | slmplicity--that was within her power at | least.
 The next evening when she came home | from the store our little Cinderella found a lovely Easter lily in a pot, all done up in gaily colored tissue paper and ribbons. and note pinned on it. l She read 1t.
 | It was from the Beautiful Lady.
 'I have found" she wrote that an Easter Lily Is the incest sort of a com panion. You can grow so confidential with it, and It's such a human sort of flower The only thing I fear Is that It will grow lonely while you are at work, so m sending along a bird to keep 1t company"
 Our little Cinderella looked around and there was the dear little feathered thing in a lovely cage. She began to cry.
 Just at that moment MaudIe the Mani cure Girl. passed our little Cindereiia.s room and knocked at the door.
 Receiving no answer she pushed the door open and went in.
 ''Whateven are you crying for? Amt you had no supper?"
 T don't want any," she sniffled. Come and do my nails, please--quick."

 i. selves hail not only from the land of the Mikado but have many unusually attrac- tive American and European limitations, among them one in the form of a huge mink poppy, which mods at you dreamlly from the wall. It is a beautiful bit or pottery, poppy leaves and buds adding to the naturalness.
 A lovely slender white vase, simply dec orated with a lily of the valley, has its ions stalk incased in long, sheathlike leaves. Of course, one would follow the Japanese custom and put but single per feet bloom in vase of this kind. Another this one an American adaptation-is of pottery in a cool, grateful green. If you are looking for distinctly odd ef- fects. perhaps you would like glazed vase that resembles a gourd. rms IS not attached to the wall, but is intended 10 hang free. Even quainter than this IS a changing tar'' that resembles a string of fish. There are three of them-two gold and one siIver-and it is In their open mouths that the stems of flowers are in- serted. There is also a big fat white fish with bulgy eyes that is very unique.
 From flowers to candlesticks is not a very big jump, and truly the candle pyra- mids are charmingly artistic and very suitable for Easter. They are taller and elenderer than great Cheops, and on each of the four sides in relief cypress points skyward The pyramids are ivory colored, with darker tipts to bring out the relef' but they can be had in several other unts.

 These flowers with nicely covered pots made up the stock in trade of the lily sale and were sold at regular market prices. A few remaining over toward the close of the evening were auctloned off to the highest bidder Meanwhile in the adjoin- ing amusement hall an appropriate pro- gramme was being given.

The Easter Parade

Kate Masterson, in the Columbian. An echoing drift of organ rolls
 Through gothic churchly arches Where saints in marble aureoles
 Smile as the column marches. Fresh from the fiower-hung chancel railI Comes scent of Springtine's greening, Gathered in valley and in dale
 To whisper Aprirs meaning. Across the sky the steeples chime
 A message of rejoicing; Sounding the song of Eastertime,
 Our hearts new gladness voicing. Blossom ye fiowers-chime on, ye bells, Sing out your chant of glory, Till every pink and pansy tells.
 Once more the sweet old storyl Daisies and daffodils devout,
 Gather your fragrance nearer, Leave not a bird or bluebell out
 That makes the music clearer. And down the stately Avenue
 City scared sons and daughters; Forward-our souls Tn proud review

HISTORIC CRAFT WRECKED
ON THE SOUTHERN COAST

/ SAN DIEGO, Jan. 15.-Wrecked on
the rocks Of Punta Maria, $50 miles
south Of San Quintin, Lower Califor-
MIA. the old schooner, Carmencita, no
torious years ago as smuggling and
poaching vessel in the North Pacific,
has found her last resting place.
News of the disaster was received
in San Diego by Alfredo Sandoval, who
held the charter for the boat, from
LOTeto MatOs, master of the schooner
1t also stated that the crew Of the
schooner, which was known in San
Diego as the Jennie Thelin" and the
Ramona, consisting Of three seamen
.and four fishermen, had walked from
the scene Of the wreck to San Quin-
tin, and were i'll and destitute Relief
is to be sent to the crew by SandOval
at once
The career of the Carmencita has
been preserved in song and story on
the Pacific coast. Built many years
ago, it vas noted for its heetness, and
achieved an unpleasant reputation
along the North Pacific coast, Puget
sound and the BeTing sea as a seal
poacher first, and then as smuggler
Of contraband, mostly Chinese.
The Ghost written by Jack Lon
don, was based on the exploits of the
Carmencita and its daring skipper in
the seal poaching business in the Ber-
ing sea.
1t changed owners many times and
finally fell into the possession of J.
Taylor of this city. He IN turn char
tered it 10 Alfredo Sandoval. The
schooner, which was then known as
the Jennie Thelin,' was rechristened
the Ramona and placed in the fish
ing and guano trade along the Lower
California coast.
Many reports Of disaster to the old
schooner have been received in San
Diego in the past six months. Once
her sails were blown away and the
crew was found with the boat in "
lonely cove, without water or supplies.
That was two months ago. Fresh sup
plies and sails were sent to the schoon-
er and an effort was made to get her
back to San Diego.
The report received by Sandoval
says that the schooner ran into a
heavy gale about two weeks ago, and
in spite of everything done by the
crew was driven on the rocks Of Punto
Maria, where it is said to be a total
wreck. Sandoval stated that he did
not believe the boat could ever be
flOated again.
