C0LORING EASTER EGGS.
Many Pretty Designs Can Be Had
From Different Cloths.

The old fashioned method Of sewing
eggs up in figured calico and boiling
them until the design was imprinted
varicolored dyes. when all that is need
ed is to drop the eggs into a cOlored
liquid.
But egg for Easter are much pref
tier when decorated than when only
colored. One way Of pleasing the lit
! tie folks of the family is to cut designs
of cats, dogs. birds, etc, out of paper.
| Wrap them around the eggs and tie in
place with cotton string, then drop the
eggs into the dye. When paper and
string are removed the designs will re-
main. Names are easily transferred
this way by writing them, cutting out
and tying on. They appear as if writ
ten on the colored egg.
Wrap a geranium or a leaf tightly
around an egg and drop into the dye;
the blossoms will be perfect when tax

transferred this way or in another way
by placing the blossoms arranged care

F., bit of old linen that has been dipped
in vinegar, tie a dry cloth around this,
and after a couple Of hours the bios
som will be found reproduced in colors
on the egg, the brighter the colors the
prettier the effect.
For those who care to take the trou-

from the throat Of some monster, such
as n reads Of in ancient, lore.
Then when there came no more
strokes every one in the castle turned
out into the court, and there was q
babel Of voices discussing from whence
the sounds could have come. An ole
man, whose youth had been passed In
superstitious times. ventured to assert
that either angel or devil had resusc1
tated the old clock and some mo.
m%entous event had been foretold. A
younger person maintained that the
sound had come from the sky and was
a voice from heaven calling sinners t.
repentance. There were many the
cries, but it was generally believed
that the sounds were from some ordi-
nary cause and their Importance had
been magntfed by the imagination.
The only person who did not com.
out to discuss the phenomenon wai
the duke. He was a bachelor, and,
having no family to minister to him IL
his old age, no O. knew whether .ol
not he had heard the strokes OF the
bell Of what Interpretation he put
upon them. The door of his chambe,
remained closed and oil was quiet
within. A woman who attended him,
followed by some M who loved thu
old man, listened near the door, but,
hearing nothing, told the others to 60
to bed. The duke had slept through
the changing, and it would be a shame
to awaken him.
When it was light enough to see
clearly the townspeople went to the old
tower and looked up. A support had
given way during the night, and the
clock was tilted on it's side.
II told you So" said one. 1T was
the clock that struck by being tilted"
"Fool!" replied another. "How could

Have a care!!' cried a third as a
gust Of wind swept through the ruin.
Scarcely had the last words been
spoken when the old clock came tum.
bling down and lay a heap Of rotted
wood and rusty iron at the bottom.
"The duke is dead" came a voice
from another part of the castle. All
turned and went toward the speaker.
The dukes door had been opened.
and by the pallor on his face it was
known that something had happened.
A surgeon was called, who declared
that the old man had been dead some
hours. Then it came to be believed
that the old clock tolled his knell a.
he was dying as we'll as its own.
After the dukes death the inhabit
ants Of the castle scattered. It was
never again occupied and soon fell into
complete ruin.

n AndaluSia, Spain, stands a ruin
in which there are the remains OF

beginning Of the fifteen century.
At hat time clocks began to be used,
and this old tower held one Of the then
new devices for marking time. The
timepiece that "a set up in the top
Of this ancient fortress was cumber-

There was a great deal Of heavy iron
and oaken supports, but these con-

For 300 years it struck the hour, but
after the expiration of the third cen

and was not repaired. For half a
century longer it remained in its perch.
and those inhabiting the castle dared
not go under it, fearing that at any
time it might come down.
The last person to inhabit this An

dukes Of Neragua, q descendant Of
Columbus, the discoverer Of America.
1t had been given him by one Of the
kings of Spain as a reward for the
services Of his distinguished ancestor.
The clock had struck for the last time
on the day the duke was born. 1t was

The new ribbons used for bows on
Easter hats are very wide and Of a
particularly heavy quality. especially
rich faille, but there are also moires,
which are not confined to the greater
widths. Ribbons are often placed
very high on the hat. Flower and
feather trimmings Of various sorts are
used with them. Some of the smart
est hats are made entirely of ribbon
or of all over silk.
The use of ornaments in the new
millinery is very pronounced. and no
ribbon, tulle or lace trimming seems
complete without a buckle. dagger
motif or some such sort of adornment.
jet is much used and an imitation call
ed "cOlOreu jet" The latter material
comes in exquisite iridescent tones of
blue, rose, green and gold and is used
for innu1nerable smart and effective
ornamental motifs. The use of rather
large headed hatpins with short points
is a new idea. These hatpins are Or
namentS in themselves and are made
of various sorts of jet spangles, beads,
fruits and feathers.
Velvet. satin and taffeta are all to
be used in combination with straw,
The straw may form the outside of

Aeroplanes Are TT"
"Aeropanes are almost as useful at
night as the daytime. Once at night
/ saw 80 aerOplanes aloft at the same
time. They carried eolored lights and
when they located a masked battery
they dropped lights SO our guns could
get the range.
"The Germans were hampered be-
cause they lost most of their aero
planes Their Zeppelin fleet, however,
is intact. Undoubtedly the aeroplane
is the greatest single factor in the war
General Sir John French, no mat
ter how hard he had fought during the
day, tried always to spend a little
time in the hospitals at night. He
strOlled in, alone or accompanied by an
aide, and cOnversed with the wounded
men. If a soldier were wounded in
the leg he would slap him ON the back
and say: Fine busines, old boy. You II
get him next time. How soon will you
be back with us!
Sometimes General French stayed
in the hospitals too long and was un-
able to return to headquarters. When
this happened he would wrap himself
in blanket and lay down on a cot or
the floor beside wounded Tommy
and sleep. Every British soldier is
strong for General French. ~
