This war, so far from indicating the

the fooIishness Of Christian idealism, Is
demonstrating that the methods Of brute
force, ard of inconsiderable egotism. are
as unintelligent and inefficient as they
are un-Christian. We are witnessing the

EASTER EGGS WITHOUT DYES.
How to Color Them by Grandma's Old
Time Methods.


There are various ways of coIoring
eggs il you are far removed from the
shops where dyes are to be obtained
They come under the head of things
primitive, but are for that reason most
desirable now. The quaint methods of
our grandmothers are being revived un.
der the present tendency toward the
simple life. Even our Easter eggs de-
mand the old time attention which was
given them before the days Of the
hasty dip in dye.
The calico egg is charming to behold.

ma. who learned it in the days Of her
youth.
The calico is cut like the cover of a
baseball and is wrapped round the egg
In the same way The right side of
the material is turned toward the egg.
and the seams are turned upon the
outside so that smooth calico lies
against the egg.
But here is point most moderns do
not realize. Only those brown and red
calicoes are chosen which do not fade,
but whose colors gradually transfer
their patterned surface TO the egg
when it is put raw into cold water,
allowed to come slowly to a boil and
boiled slowly for half an hour or
longer.
Old fashioned children valued the
calico eggs more than all the others.
and great care was taken in their
proper distribution among the larger
families Of a generation or two ago.
Onion skins convey rich notified
brown or paler tone. according to the
time the eggs are boiled in them. and
they invariably produce a fern pattern
resembling the jungle on frost touch
