THE SOLEMN EASTER.

This is Easter, Wc might write seasonal
editorial. aud get away with it, Nobody would
read 1t, and We would be ashamed to have writ
ten it. But~-this is Easter. What does that
nlean 10 you Does it penetrate anything be
yond your outer consciousness? Does II make
appeal to anything other than the shell of habit
within which you live? Have you stopped for
= moment TO think what this day, chosen in
this latitude for the time of natural resnrrec
tion which ii breaches, means practically ana
sincerely In your life?
Nothing is easier TO be sentimental about
than Easter II is the day which the World
has elected to mark as the coming back to life
Of the Lord who suffered death. II is attuned

We cannot escape H. II is in the blood and in
the life Of human kind.
But We resist both revery and the inclination
TO rhapsody. That Is In the air and In the
blood What would do is to ask you what
you have done for Easter, and what you intend
- do. Presumably you have ransacked your
wardrobe to it's repleuishment We imagine
that to you the universal day will be more
or less respondent, The danger is that with
you ii will be also, a tri1e proud. The danger
+ that when you drop your contribution into
the plate you may look elsewhere; that in OBJ
serving this Day you observe not the day. but

This is TO make travesty of Easter 1t Is a
time Of rejoicing. Also, it is time of atone

dangerous. the most difficult. of all days. II is
tie hardest day TO celebrate fttngly. the easiest
"a observe specifically. The only--and the
hardest--thing TO say about Easter is to de-
nounce the frvolity for which IT is made the
occasion.
There win be after the season Of Lent the
Easter license. Humankind will welcome the
Spring, much after the fashion of lambs. with
famboling and other physical exercises. These
things are natural--to the season. We have
nothing to say against them. But we have this

Kate Langley Bosher. Published by

BY the multitude OF people who
have laughed with and loved Mary
Cary and Miss Gibbie Gault, the APP
pearance Of another volume by their
creator has been eagerly awaited. The
Man In Lonely Land will find cor
dial welcome in the authors home
city, and Richmond people as a whole
will read the book with enjoyment
and pleasure. 1t is a story OF grown
ups. chiefly Of a winning girl and a
bachelor. and hence 1t deals largely
with love and man and a maid.
Perhaps IL amounts to verbosity to
state that the man who inhabits

the hand is lonely because 1t IL a
land without love. Impervious TO the
attentions and entreaties Of hostesses
in search of eligible men for their
functions, whose emptiness and mock
cry he has deyined from experience.
Winthrop Lame leads quiet life
with his dog and his books for best
friends. He is sensible to his lone
iiness. but mystified as to its cause.
Not until Claudia Keith. cousin OF
his brother in-law. visits her relatives
in New York and cures the man from

plicity and the two have had real
