shown the belt, cuff and collar cyt. from
material SO inches wide which is the mar
rowest that will cut the belt without
piecing and, in the third are shown the
shield and collar on material IS inches
wide, which is the accepted width for
all-over embroidery tucking and the
like. The skirt is only straight piece and
therefore, it is not shown in the diagram.
Before placing the blouse portion of the
pattern on the material. il will be neces-
sary only to cut off two widths of the
44-inch goods for the skirt. The pattern
gives the skirt without hem: therefore
you must cut each OF these widths three
inches deeper than the pattern to allow
a hem Of the usual width. If. for any
reason. you desire a wider hem. then
you must allow more. but three inches is
the width usually chosen.

EARLY EASTER
THIS YEAR
NEXT EASTER THE EARLIEST
FOR YEARS--WILL NOT OCCUR
AGAIN IN CENTURY

AS the result of peculiar astro-
nomical situation, next Easter day
will be the earliest for years, and it
will not be so early again for hum
dred years. 1t comes this time on
March 23rd The fixing Of the date
each year is based upon the changing
phases of the moon. Easter is almost
the first Sunday after the full
moon, upon or next after the 21st of
March. If the full moon happens on
Sunday, then Easter day is the first
Sunday following. Next year there
is full moon on Saturday, March
%. Sunday the next day, is therefore
Easter. Astronomy also foretells Of
no less than five eclipses next year.
There are total eclipses Of the moon
early in the morning of March 23rd
and September 18th and three partial
eclipses of the sun on April 9Th, Aug
ust 31st and September Goth, but none
of the latter eclipses will be visible
