God made the rich and He made the
 poor,
 But I never could quite understand Why the paths of some He strews
 with flowers,
 And others He fills with sand"
 It takes all kinds of people to make world and all do not find content ment in the same kind of an exist ence. A spinster said to me the other day: T don't see what people find in going away in summer that they make such an ado over vacations. It. just a fad which the rich set up and the poor people have striven madly to copy. A woman with family will shut up good, roomy, comfortable home to vacation in stuffy country inn where the whole family is herded in a couple of rooms. A working girl will spend all she has saved up for a year on summer vacation of month or so. If had my way, I'd stamp out this fool notion about vacations being necessary"
 ''Oh, but they are necessary ex- postulated. "A change of air and scene for at least week or two of each year is tonic toe the heart and dropping spirits. Women who can af- ford it should thank their stars for the privilege. It's the girls who can- not afford it who have my sympathy. But why bemoan the fact? Why not face the condition, making the best of it? If the heart is kept light and free from discontent the summer at home will not be found unbearable. There are always others who have not been able to get away and acquaintances at home are formed more readily than if the two had been brought together while off on their vacations"
 E A young girl cashier in restaurant confided to me that she was soon to to wed. The beauty of the solitaire engagement ring on her finger sur prised me. He is very wealthy" she murmured, following my glance. Tt happened in this way: My employer refused me a vacation this summer, saying If went I might stay away altogether. I couldn't have afforded more than a week at a very cheap place anyhow, so I made the best of giving up the vacation notion One day when I was feeling the bluest and lonesomest along came a young man, the son of a wealthy manufacturer, to engage table board for the summer while his folks were away on their va- cation. We'll, that was the beginning of our romance. He is going in Sep- tember and am getting my wedding clothes ready to accompany him. I can tell you I am mighty glad that I couldn't afford a vacation. Had I gone would have missed hi--, for af- ter few days of takin., his meals here friends persuaded him to 20 to their club. He went to the club. but he couldn't forget me. One day he dropped in and proposed abruptly"
 Women who cannot afford a vaca- tiom shouldn't worry. but take it for granted that everything happens for the best Those who must stay at home are very apt to meet through mutual friends lonely men glad of

ish materials of the season. The fro.I Wnlcn features the overdress arranoe. ment bids fair to be the dominant fea. ture of early Fall. A splendid tvns of the new style is pictured here Tbs costume has a sleeveless underbody ana three-piece foundation skirt The overdress is in one piece, closing at the center front with a round coi. lar to finish the V-shaped neck. The fuliness of the overskirt is held in bv 8 straight belt of self-material.
 In medium size the costume re. quires yards 54-inch material with 1W yard S6-inch lining 36 inches wide for the underbody and foundation gores.
 The serge and the lining are both folded before the .,us sect;ons of the pattern are placed into position. The front and back gores of. the over dress are laid directly on the length wise fold of serge, as is also the founce for the piecinp. The fiounce comes next to the front gore and if the cutting guide is carefully noted 1t will be seen how the collar and fac ing also can be sandwiched in alonp the lengthwise fold of material, The sleeve, sleeveband, pocket and vest are placed on lengthwise thread of the goods.
 The back of the lining and the front gore of the foundation skirt are placed on lengthwise fold of the lin ing material, while the front of tho waist and the back gore of the fouu dation are laid on a lengthwise thread.
 If the overdress is desired closed at the center front, cut off the upper edge of front on double "oo'' per foratiops. If desired with open front, cut out along indicating small "o1 perforations. Perforations are also made for shortening the sleeves and the skirt, if preferred.
 Buttons add much to the effective ness of the dress, being used to trim the front and the pockets. No dec oration is more fashionable this sea-

KE1P BEDS VALUABLE.

The kelp beds of British Columbia are said to be capable of furnishing annually 235.000 tons of potash, which figured at $50 ton. would amount to $11. .7t0,000. The iodine ob- tained.. at the rate of $3,S75 ton, would amount to 3,6s0, 900. The to- tai calculated value of these two by- products of kelp at pre-war prices) would thus amount to $15.00o,00o per annum.

| be those who are going directly to
Tampa from their homes. Under
this classification are Archer, Laven-
| der, label, Schultz and a flock of
| sOutherners. These fellows are al
ways in condition when they report,
as each has had a few days of pre-
hminary work on the old home place.
Today the musical instruments and
billiard table were installed in the spe-
cial train, and all is ready for the bell.
George StoVaII says the settlement
he made with the Federal league was
possible only because of the good
treatment he received from Charley
Weeghman and Harry Sinclair. He
gives these two men fulsome praise
for their fairness in taking care of
him, and says organized baseball
overlooked a bet when it refused to
make a place in the ranks for the
Tulsa oil magnate.
Reports from Toledo are to the eff
feet that Roger Bresnahan will Sc
cure control of the Cleveland fran
chise of the American assn in a coll
pie OF days and move the team to To-
Iedo.
Benny Kauff is still a hold-out and
says he won't join the Giants until

Tomorrow morning the Cubs hop
the RATHER for the training camp at
Tampa, Fla. But all the athletes who
it is hoped are to wear Weeghman
cOlOrs this summer-WiI not be aboard
the train.
Tom Seaton is still in New York
and says he will not go near Tampa
unless his contract is materially
changed. There is no argument over
salary, but Tom wants several. side
issues embodied in the agreement,
such as payment of his wife's railroad
fare on all the teams trips. That
was a clause in his contract with the
Brooklyn Feds, but it was taken out
Of the paper sent him by the Cubs.
Eventually agreement with Seaton
will be reached, but it is imperative
that Tom get to the training camp
as soon as possible if he is to be VaIU-
able to the North Siders at the start
of the season. Last year Tom lost
some of his effectiveness and it was
understood he was not in good shape.
He must do better work this season
than last to be an asset.
Max FIack is still holding out, but
the little outfielder will fix his affairs
before morning and will be among
those departing. Max has made his
reputation in the Federal league.
When he joined the Chifeds he was
not highly regarded. In fact, he only
came into his own last year, and now |
wants an increase in salary.
While the terms of his contract are
not known, it is not believed he gets |
great deal of coin, compared to some |
of his mates, and Tinker and Weegh-
man win probably agree to a boost. |
Flack is not only a good mechanical
baIIplayer, but he puts his heart in
his work, and that counts for whole
lot.
Cub headquarters today were busy.

The review. [volume] (High Point, N.C.) 1908-19??, 1916-04-20

1t is not enough to explain it as an
. old tradition, handed down from gen
GRAFTON to generation. If the expert
ence of the apostles and the three
Marys and the five hundred brethren
to whom he made himself known were
| the only reason for keeping Easter, it
is not probable that Easter would still
be kept. Faith that is only handed
on does not survive as this faith has
survived. There must be another rea-
| son.
The other reason is that there never
has been an age since the first Chris
tan age until now when there were
not among the people of the earth
those to whom Christ had become liv-
ing person. The healing of the seam
less dress has been by beds Of pain,
In the midst of the storm and the
stress of life, despairing men and
women have reached out to touch him,
and they have touched him and been
made whole again. Martyrs, stretched
on the agonizing rack, have heard him.
Other martyrs, bound among the burn
ing fagots, have seen him in the fire.
tempted men have sought him in the
hour of their temptation, and his arm
has sustained them. Such as they do
not need to be told that long ago, on
a Sunday morning in the spring. the
grave released him. They know that
ne is released, for he has become the
living power of their lives.
When the eleven, after the tragic
death of Judas, chose twelfth apostle,
they did so that he might become
witness with them of the resurrection.
Since then, from all nations and tribes,
great company whom God alone can
number has been added to the chain
OF witnesses. Daily their number is
increased. Easter is Easter, not be-
cause Jesus rose long ago, but be-
cause Jesus still lives, and because
there are among us those who know
tnat he lives.-Youth's Companion.
The review. [volume] (High Point, N.C.) 1908-19??, 1916-04-20

sionaries persuaded the Saxons to &C
cept the feast of the paschal lamb and
simply change the name to that of the
feast of Ostara, which later was angli.
c1zed to Easter.
The Easter egg also had it's origin
among non-Christians. The people of
northern Europe hunted eggs in the
springtime, believing that it was good
luck to find them and eat them Of
course wild birds laid eggs only in the
spring of the year. The Christian
missionaries to our ancestors saw an
opportunity to win men to a belief in
Christianity by adopting the gg-hunt-
ing day and combining it with Easter.
The egg was shown to typify life. AS
the chick lies imprisoned in the egg
only to burst forth, so will our bodies
lie in the tomb only to be resurrected
at the call of God
The hunting and eating of eggs is
observed today in Persia and in other
