EASTER EGG HUNT.
An Old but Amusing Game Imported
From Germany.


An old Easter custom. imported from
Germany. is the egg hunt" equally
enjoyed by the children Of royalty
and those OF American parents any
where. For this it is obvious that can
dy eggs should BE selected and that the
hiding places should not be unreach-
able by short legs and arms. None
should be hidden higher than the little
heads of the hunters.
Provide dainty small baskets to hold
the finds" and caution the children
that there is to be no climbing. Small
boys have a h~ahit-Or. let us say, they
are often unfOrtunate-in the breaking
of valuable bric-a-brac. Give them no
chance in this game.
Suitable prizes for the one whose
basket is the fullest when the hunt
ends may be had at any stores selling
such things in the shape of a big egg
with hOnbOnS in it or perhaps M with
a set of jackStrawS. always Il delight
to children. Have the hunt last just
long enough to leave them all eager.
count the eggs in each basket and have
some small 'conSolation' prize for each
and every one.
Sometimes the tiny. downy yellow
chicks or the equally tiny rabbits are
substituted for the eggs, and the fun
is he same.

Outside Curtains In Summer.
So much for the curtains over the

the window and brings it into harmony

lest sort in summer

outside curtains should be OF plain
material. Denim, heavy scrim, thin

are all satisfactory for this use.

CURTAINS FOR WARM DAYS

Window curtains have two missions
in their short lives One is TO protect
the rooms where they hang from too
strong light, from the gaze OF passers-
by ana from unattractive outIooks The
other is to provide Il suitable frame

windows.
A change, indeed, is this from the
DAY when lace curtains We're consid-
cred synonymous with prosperity.
One reason for the change is that
many architects insist that, the facade
of house they design shall not be
broken by numerous ovcr-ela borate ly

hang in straight folds ut the sides of

is we'll to have the curtains so hung
that they can be pulled over the glass

suitable for the curtain directly over

therefore more of the view, is made

There is a new novelty net on the

good finish for any cotton curtain, and
