WHY WE HAVE EGGS EASTER.

Washington GLADDEN., writing abot
the history of Easter in the March
Woman's Home Companion, shows
how eggs have been connected with
Easter from the earliest days. DR..
Gladden's explanation of the origin
of the custom of using eggs on Eas
ter follows:
Probably the fact that the egg
holds, shut up in itself, the ele-
ments of future life-a life which
may long be dormant and then come
forth into vigor and beauty. into
consciousness and activity-made 1t
a proper symbol of the resurrection.
But of all the millions who have dec
grated eggs at the Easter season or
played with them as a pretty toy, or
fed upon them as a delicacy. very
few have ever stopped to reflect up
on the profound meaning Of the en-
blem. In my own boyhood break
fast of eggs was one of the unwrit-
ten 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

their returning to their favorite
food, after SO long an abstinence
from them during Lent. This is not
impossible, for the egg was form

Lenten season."
