Time was when there were only new hats for Easter Sunday It the rule to dress in clothing from the inside out-shoes. gloves and underwear as welr suits and bonnets were prescribed for the gor ious day
 There patchwork about spring clothes then with furs and arctcs were never heard of One waited and accumulated all ones things spent hours wondering about the weather of the atefu day, and then wore them all together to church, distract the beauty of the service, according the elderly ladies who hold tradition bu, quite the contrary
 We shouldn't have thought of wearing thinc in Lent my dear" says one of them We waited un. til Easter and put pretty bounets and dresses to help make the church beautiful in honor Of the risen Lord"
 A pretty idea, wasrt it? Rather pity that it has alen into disuse-hat waiting preparation during the dreary windy rainy of early spring, and the sudden bursting forth and bright garments making the Easter hats matter of vanity but the outward visible sign of an inward spiritual grace" in honor of the religious festival
 Most Of us are too apt to dissociate the worldly from the spiritual things to life into pigeon holes to regard the new rather subtraction from re- giou than an addition it. Most Of us have smiled at the saying that Not even consolatons Of religion can equal to woman the satisfaction of being well dressed" as if there were something mutually exclusive to the ideas Of religion and good clothes.
 Why should there be? ReIison If it means any thing means an attitude towards life, ability to keep ones soul in tune with the beauty of the universe Isn't the effort to be beautifully and becomingIy Eowned reachingout in the same direction? Especially at East er time when the dscardng of Che old and shabby fo tbe lovely and new is in tune with the new birth in nature and when the Christian fah in the Resurrection makes an appropriate centre the surgmg up of ali spiritual and natural joy?
 The poets are the wise who try to teach us the oneness of life and eaortthe unity of nature and tho soul Browning sings, as Rabbi Ben Ezra
 As the bird wings and sings let us cry all good
 things
 Are ours; nor soul helps flesh more now than
 flesh helps soul"
 It's a good time to read poetry. The poets because bey see deeper than ordinary mortals, give life glow like that which comes the earth with the new gras >ses It's particularly good time read Browning, who thrills one to out fear to ind hope aud joy and glory in common life And if lives in cities and i. lied down by the bonds of daily living to one iitu' round it's a good time read tine outdoor poets pre- emnenty svinburne is than any other the in spred poet of spring.
 For winters rains and ruins are oyer
 And an the season of snows and sins
 The days dividing lover and lover
 The light that loses, the night that wind
 And time remembered is grief lorgoten'
 ,lnd in green underwood anil cover
 Blossom by blossom the spring begins,
 It's above all good time to try to put the parts O on,,s life togother-to gather them up and make then into whole. in harmony with tho great fcrces of na ture and thc universe.
 This is the time when spring bonnots and poetry an religion may an take their places n contributing 10 lp freshness joy and spiritual force of l'le'
