For a Large
easter Party

HILDREN are so fond of the
Easter rabbit and chickens
~ that the giving of IN Easter
party for children is a simple
matter for the hostess who is willing
to accept the assistance of these anna
BILE animals, says the New York Trib-
une. Such affairs range from the sim
pie hunt for Easter eggs to the elabo-
rate dancing parties with fancy dress
and cotillons. One which is being
planned this season by a woman to
whom expense is nothing will provide
simple games for the youngsters in
quite an elaborate stage setting. One
hundred children are to be invited
A good old fashioned Punch and Judy
show will be the first number on the
program, and then will come dancing
to lively music, as children have to be
kept active. The musicians will not be

~OR luncheon and dinner on EaS-
ter Monday and Tuesday the
decorations should express the
Easter spirit. Rabbits, chickens
and eggs must appear in one form or
aanother. The shops are filed with
lovely place cards and favors.
One effect which is charming for a
luncheon table has yellow and white
for its color scheme. In the center Of
the table is a mound of daffodils sur
rounding a big white egg, from which
a little white chicken peeps. From the
center streamers of yellow ribbon lead
to the four corners and finish in a bow.
At each place is found a little candy
filed rabbit standing on its hind legs
with the front feet extended.
On the feet is placed the little card
with the name of the guest whose
place it is. The upper half of the rab-
bit comes off, and the body is filed
with tiny bonbons. These serve as
both place cards and favors.
At such a luncheon the colors must
be preserved throughout, starting with
grapefruit and a golden chicken bouil-
Ion, followed by salmon or eggs in one
fashion or another. Chicken may be
served as the meat, or IL chops are pre-
ferred little yellow ruf1ets can be put
on their stems. Orange salad keeps up
the color scheme and a banana or deep
yellow vanilla cream finishes it. Little
egg candies are appropriate and attrac-
tive.
For a children's party there is a
larger field for variety. A new version
of an old game may be rung in very
neatly. A couple Of hundred little egg
candies may be concealed in every
imaginable corner of the house. These
are to be sought by all the little ones.
The child finding the most should re-
ceive the prize Of a fuzzy chicken filed
with candy, the second prize being a
smaller rabbit, and the BOBBY prize
should be a cardboard rabbit drawing
a cardboard egg, on which should be
inscribed "booby."
For prizes in other games the choco-
late or nut eggs make delicious and
acceptable gifts. There are so many
old fashioned games in which prizes
may be given, and this always adds a
zest to the games.
A costume party for the children af-
fords a great deal of amusement and
plenty of room for originality. The in
vitations should direct each guest to
come in Easter costume. One of the
best costumes along these lines seen in
a long time was invented by a small
miss of ten years.
1t was made of cardboard to repre-
sent an egg and tied in the back. 1t
was a perfect oval from head to foot.
1t was very narrow at the bottom,
where her feet c..me through, and on
her head she wore a white oval cap
made like a sou'wester, which had an
opening for the face, but Joined the
rest of the costume at the neck. Round
holes We're made in the cardboard at
the shoulders for the arms to come
through. When she was in this cos
tune it was really remarkably like an
egg.-New York Evening Telegram.

In uniform, as many tots who have an
unfortunate fear of policemen have
been known in times past to be fright
ened by the bandsmen in blue and
brass buttons. A picturesque darky,
with a banjo, will eliminate all danger
of bowls at this party.
After the dancing Going to Jerusa-
lem will be played for a short time,
ending with a cakewalk, the children
In pairs, headed toward the dining
room. Judges at the door will be on
the watch for the cleyerest performers,
to whom, of course, prizes will have to
be awarded later.
The supper's the thing, always, at a
child's party, and will be here also.
There are to be five tables, each seat
ing twenty children, and the spaces be-
tween the tables will be transformed
into green fields and barnyards. Large
toy horses will be pastured there, as
well as real live goats borrowed from
the farms in the neighborhood of this
country house. Milking stools will be
placed for seats around the low tables,
which are to be built especially for the
party. The enormous glass inclosed
piazza adjoining the dining room Will
be used for some of the tables, so that
they need not be too close together. In
far corners under small cedar trees
will be coops with real hens and tiny
chickens. Real ducks will be swim
ming in the basin of the fountain at
the ~conservatory's end. Canary birds
will be let loose, and it is hoped they
will fly about and sing. The only ami
mails not real will be the toy horses
and a make believe COW cleverly manu-
featured from rugs and a horn rack.
The five tables will be decorated
with Easter animals, though here no
attempt is to be made TO have them
alive. At the center of one table a
large papier mache rabbit will hold a
large pink candy egg filed with pres
ents for every child at the party, and
at each plate will be a wee rabbit to
match, with a chocolate egg to eat.
The second table will have a lovely
fat hen in a big sugar nest, with wee
candy chickens In groups near her and
also one at each child's plate, standing
on a place card. The third will have a
duck on a mirror, edged around with
green spun sugar and looking just like
a tiny pool of water. Twenty small
candy ducks will be In the pool, and
each one will be tied to a spoon in front
of a child's place, so that it will sail
toward him when the string is pulled.
A spun sugar nest containing candy
eggs will be at each place. The fourth
table will have another mirror lake
with sugar grass at the edges and
candy frogs and japanese dragon flies
disporting themselves upon it. A pep
permint snake will be at each plate to
feed the candy frogs with. The fifth
table will have an Uncle Remus group.
There will be a tar baby, with Brer
Rabbit and Brer Fox, and at each plate
will be chocolate turtles.
The supper itself will be simple, in
Guiding creamed chicken, sandwiches
and ices. The latter will be in the
shape of little chickens, and the cakes
will be egg shaped, with frosting In
different colors. After supper a little
more dancing will be allowed, prizes
awarded and animal souvenirs distrtb-
uted. A feature of the party will be
the bringing in Of a basketful of Easter
eggs to be distributed.

widely spread and most gen
" orally believed in the olden
time is as follows:
Adam, having lived to a great age
and feeling that death was not far
distant, babe his son, Seth, bring to
him either the fruit of life which grew
in the garden of Eden or the oil Of
mercy which flowed there and which
had been promised to Adam upon his
expulsion from the garden. Seth made
his way to paradise by the footprints
of Adam and Eve, Yer which no grass
had ever grown.
The angel to whom Seth made known
his errand gave him three seeds from
the fruit of the tree of which Adam
had eaten and directed that they be
placed under Adams tongue just be-
Adam died, and the angels instruc-
tons were carried out.
Soon there sprang from Adams grave
in Hebron three trees-a cedar, a cy-
press and a pine tree. These long
grew together, forming one trunk,
which came to be regarded as a sym
Dol of the holy trinity. This tree,
transplanted by Moses and later by
David, grew to be very beautiful.
But even its beauty did not prevent
Solomon from cutting 1t down in order
to complete his temple, for which a
beam of enormous size was lacking.
But each time that the beam cut from
Tho trao was fitted II wou1d he either
too large or too small, and such a
strange circumstance was taken as a
sign that it should not be used.
Some time afterward, most versions
agree, the beam was buried where the
pool Of Bethesda was at a later time
discovered During passion week the
wood rose and f1oated on the surface of
the pool and was used for the cruel
fxon cross.

no time except at Christmas
81 Is the world so happy as at
IN Easter. The universal OBJ
servanee of these two festi-
walls is a witness to the vitality and
power of the truths for which they
stand. The Christmas truth is that
God has revealed himself in human
life; Easter expresses our assurance
of Immortality.
These truths in combination and the
consequences that follow from their
acceptance may be said to equal the
sum total of human happiness. Ban
ish brotherhood and the result Is So
cial chaos. Conceive of death as the
end-all and we are of all creatures the
most miserable.
1t is true that here and there a brave
man marches breast forward, doubling
whether, after all, there is a here
after, yet grimly determined to play
at all hazards a noble part. All honor
to him, but his philosophy will not
suffice for the rest of us.
"If the dead rise not most Of us
will say, 'let US eat and drink, for to-
morrow we die" We crave certainty
as to the future, and nothing but such
a certainty can influence u present
conduct. In the search for certainty
some of us are able to find In the
voice of authority the assurance that
we need.
Some of us can hope so intensely for
immortality that we give substance to
the thing we hope for, and this be-
comes our faith. Others of US, how
ever, cannot believe merely because
we are hidden to believe OF because
we wish to do so. We are eager of as
surance, but to be satisfying 1t must
be a reasonable assurance.
