Sammy and Jane were astonished.

on Easter morning, there had been Il

Moreover, the regular price for the

But Helen didn't want her to; she
wished to select the plant herself,
thinking that in hat way, somehow,
it would make the gift all the more
her very W and Mary's.
So, holding fast to her little pocket
book, in which were seventy-three
cents, the total of their savings, Helen
set out for the florists. leading Mary
by the hand and telling her how care
full they must be to look at every lily
plant for sale and be sure to select the
very prettiest one for Mamma.
And, goodness me, what a beeuti-
full lot of flowers the florist had. In
side the store. Easter flowers were
banked in profusion; and he had even
put up wooden stand right outside
his shop and had lilies and pansies
and hyacinths and asters and violet,

distributed TO all parts of the land.
But to return to the stately lily
on its native heath. There have al
ways been lilies in Bermuda, it
seems. When Bcrmudcz landed on
The island in 1922 he found the lily
there in profusion, but, OF curse, in
a wild state. Now the cultivation of
the lily is one of the chief occupa-
lions Of Bermuda.
The celebration Of Easter there
would indeed be no celebration with
out the lily. 1t sheds its perfume and
smiles its golden smile on all sides.
The affairs, chancels and walls of the
churches are literally buried in the
fragrant blooms. And even the
houses. both inside and out, are load
ed with them.
There is a pretty legend about the
lily and love in Bermuda hat is in
teresting. Way. way back in the
long ago, it runs, a young man was
passing through a field of lilies. .Ac-
cidentally, he stepped upon one and
bruised it. Now the young man was
in love with II maid and feared that
his love was not returned. He looked
down at the broker plant and it
seemed to him to be symbolic of his
own heart.
SO. tenderly, he dug up the plant,
bound the broken stem to a splint
and re-planted 1t in the yard Of his
own home, where he nursed it care
fully until it bloomed again. And
it put forth an eXquisitely beautiful
flower.

UST as Christmas without gifts
and Santa Claus would seem q
very doleful occasion, SO Easter
without the gorgeous lily-frag-
rant, pure and boautiful-would seem
not Easter at all. Now little Helen
had not put it in precisely those
words; but she had wondered how
strange Easter would seem If there
were no pretty lilies around the house.
And suppose-oh. just suppose-that
on Sunday when all the children gath
cred in the big church TO sing their
Easter carols, suppose then that the
altar was not a mass of Easter lilies!
why, it wouldn't be Easter, it just
couldn't be Easter!
Always, at Helen's house on Easter,
they had flowers. And there was a
lily for each member of the family.
Two big ones-in their big pots which
were carefully wrapped with green
crepe paper so hat the ugly brown
was hid-were for Papa and Mamma.
And then a smaller ono for Helen,
and a very small one for Mary, five
years old but. if you please, quite the
most important member of the family.
And even old Aunt Dinah. tho cook,
wasn't forgotten, for she, too, had her
Easter lily.
Now. for many many weeks, Helen
and Mary had been saving their pen
MES and their nickels, for this Easter
was to be a very especial one. Many
were the times the two conspirators
had put their little heads together and
talked in whispers of their plan, their
great Surprise" You see, Helen had
thought it would be oh, so nice for
them to buy an Easter lily for Mamma
and to give it to her on Easter
Morn as a gift of love from her two
children.
And now-on the day before Easter
when the two little girls went Out
for their afternoon walk, they were tc
buy Mammals plant. At the last min
ute Helen had seen that old Aunt
Dinah would have to be old about it
for the lily had to be purchased that
afternoon, since the florists shop or
the corner would be closed on Easter
Sunday; and. besides, some one had tC
keep the lily and hide 1t all during
Saturday night so that il would indeed
be a surprise for Mamma the mex
day.
