Why We Have Eggs at Easter.

In writing about the history of East
er in the March Womans Home Com
panion, DR.. Washington GLADDEN. gives
the following explanation of the origin
of the CUSTOM of using eggs at Easter:
Probably the fact that the egg
holds, shut up in itself, the elements
Of future life,-a life which may long
be dormant and then come forth into
vigor and beauty, into consciousness
ard activity,-made it proper SYM
Dol of the resurrection. But of all the
millions who have decorated eggs at
the Easter season or played With them
as pretty toy, or fed upon them as
q delicacy, very few have ever stopped
to reflect upon the profound meaning
of the emblem. In my own boyhood a
breakfast of eggs was one of the I'M
written regulations of Easter Sunday;
the main question with the boys was
the number per capita that could be
consumed. Among us there was none
of that dainty decoration with dyes
and pigments which has given so much
pleasure in old times and new This
fashion, in the opinion of an old writ
err, arose among the Christians from
the 10y occasioned by their returning
to their favorite food, after so long an
abstinence from them during Lent
This is not impossible. for the egg was
formerly counted as flesh and denied
to good Christians during the Lenten
season."
