Last Friday evening the Junior
English classes presented "The Riv-
ais" by Sheridan. The auditorium
was filled to its capacity and the
play was enjoyed by every one.
Those who took part showed their
dramatic ability and their careful
preparation. The English instruc-
tors, Miss Wolf and Miss Harger,
coached the play, and the success
of the play was largely due to their
work.

the students most are the story

A Favorite Easter Trip.

The schoolteachers and public school
pupils throughout the country seem to
have by common consent adopted East
er week as the ideal interval for a
sightseeing trip to Washington. They
have been going by the thousands each
Easter these past few. years, and they
besiege the White House office building
in throngs-for the chief aim and pur-
pose of this class of visitors is to ac-
tually shake hands with the president
instead of merely inspecting his house
and gazing at his estate, as do most
s~ightseers. And, moreover, the presi-
dent, being good natured and imbued
with something of the Easter spirit,
usually grants the requests of these
Easter pilgrims who clamor for an
audience.

Caster Guests

- HE president of the United
States fittingly enough has per-
~ haps the largest and certainly
the most attractive back yard
OF any resident of this republic. Ordi-
narily this back yard at the White
House is about as quiet and deserted a
place as one could imagine. 1t Is only
at rare intervals that any member of
the presidential household 6or whose
use it is reserved is seen walking
about the parklike expanse, and it isn't
often that this stretch of lawn is made
to serve as a playground-that~ function
of 80 many less conspicuous black
yards up and down the land.
However, there is one day at this
smiling season of the year when the
presidents big back yard is anything
but deserted. 1t is on a Monday, too

know Monday is wash day." and In

How to Dye the EGGS.

The best method is to dye your eggs
Just before breakfast or before you
want to serve them. If your dyes are
all ready and you have read over your
directions beforehand you need allow
only ten or fifteen minutes for the
task. Have your dyes ready in old
teacups. Green, light blue, orange,
rose red, purple, pink, yellow and scar
let are the usual colors. Cook your
eggs to the desired degree of hardness
and then quickly drop them from the
boiling water into the hot dye and as
soon as they have taken the desired
hue remove them from the dye and
place In the dish from which they are
to be served.

day of the week when If the weather is
nice mother needs the back yard and
Johnny and Susie and all the rest are
admonished that for the time being
they must find some other place to
play. Not SO at the White House,
however. AS a matter Of fact, the
family wash at the executive mansion
Is hung to dry In a lattice screened In
closure that occupies only the smallest
corner of the big back yard, but even
at that the colored "mammies'' In the
presidential laundry could scarcely be
induced to do the washing on this par
ticular Monday, for Easter Monday has
been from time out of mind the occa-
sion of the great annual egg rolling
festival on the White House grounds
and is in consequence regarded as
something of a holiday throughout the
capital city.
On the day following Easter the pres
ident's back yard not only assumes the
normal and rightful function Of all
back yards as a playground for young
people, but it does it in no half hearted
fashion. 1t Is the one occasion Of the
year when during an entire day these
private grounds are open to the public,
and the democratic invitation is uni
versal. Any child Is free to come and
go at will, without any card of admis-
sion, and they do come insswarms that
cover the greensward and have been
variously estimated at from 10000 to
10000 in different years - dependent
somewhat upon the state of the weather.
During the past few years an impor-
tant change has been made in the man.
agement of the presidents back yard
on Easter Monday, with a view to re-
serving it for the children who are its
tenants for seven or eight blissful
hours. Before this change vas made
1t was found that the crowds attracted
by this annual spectacle were assuming
such proportions that they were not
only difficult to handle; but, worse yet,
they seriously hampered the youngsters
in their egg rolling. In the old days
everybody who came, young or old, was
admitted to the egg rolling. But the
odd antics of the little folks at their
unique pastime proved a magnet for
sightseers, who come not merely from
Washington, but from towns far and
wide. Particularly in the afternoon,
when there is'a band concert on the
lawn, did the crowds become so dense
that it was impossible for the juvenile
visitors to romp freely, much less roll
eggs in the traditional fashion. Ac-
cordingly there was put into force the
new rule, which reserves the big yard
primarily for children and stipulates
that no adults shall be admitted unless
accompanied by children. This allows
the attendance of the little tots who re-
quire the presence of mother or nurse
to look after them.

ing Post mention was made Of
the curious ceremony of blessing
the fire in the famous church of st.
John Lateran.
All lights having been extinguished
on Thursday evening, new fire is struck
on Saturday by mean of a flint and a
colossal brazier filed with charcoal.
After this is done the bishop, accompa-
MED by his ministers with the cross,
holy water and incense, in his inter
and magnificent yestments, blesses the
new fire and the five grains of incense
that are to be fixed III the paschal can
die.
Two long lines are formed of young
deacons, students and monks waiting
for ordination. They stand face to face
with the bishop, looking down the line
and stationed at the church door.
After sprinkling the five grains of in
cense, which are large silvered cones,
and Tuning them with the censor, n
of the deacons puts on a white dal-
matte and, taking the rod with a light
ed candle fixed at the top, the Official
tors fall into procession and return TO
the tribune.
The lighting of this new fire repre-
sents the rising CT Christ and his vic
tory over sin. From the spark obtained
the pasehal candle is lighted, and this,
according to st. Anselm, signifies three
things: The virgin wax typiies the
body of our Lord, the wick the soul.
while the flame is the symbol of divin-
ity. The use OF the Easter taper is
very ancient in the Roman church, dat
ing back as far as Pope st. Zosimus.
who at the beginning of the fifth GEN.
fury ordered that it should be made in
the shape of a column, on which the
order of office was incised. The dimen-
sions of the Easter candle were enor-
nous at the beginning; the largest one
of the kind is now the papal candle,
measuring four inches in diameter and
about two yards and a half in height.
After the return of the procession to
the chancel the blessing of the candle
takes place. and it is decorated by the
deacon with the five balls of gilded
and silvered incense, which he thrusts
into the wax in the form of a cross.
These are symbols of the wounds and
perfumes with which the body Of our
Lord was covered; it is lighted as q
symbol of the resurrection and burns
during high mass and vespers until
Ascension, forty dGys after Easter.
