even to buy dollar lily?"

chased her Easter outfit a few days
in advance, and was giving 1t an air
ing, entered the car and sat down be-
side him, he gave her looking over
and then said in fatherly tones:
Madam. will you allow me to express
my sympathy"
She was Of the timid kind, but not
too timid, and after looking at him in
surprise, she replied:
j Were you speaking to me, sir?''
II was" he replied II was express
ing my sympathy for you"
But why?"
Because there will be women who
can't afford even a new hat, to say
nothing Of whole outfit. for the
Easter season, and probably you are
one OF them. / Do not be cast down.
however, the blessings Of Heaven will
fall upon you just the same as upon

Lilies and Easter-Easter and
