sent the triumph of the Sun of Nature
and used 1t as their New Year cele-
bration. They believed that the world
was Matched from AN egg at the vernal
equinox. Hindus, many Eastern peo-
pies, and Romans, had it typify the
universe, the work of the Supreme De-
ity; the Teutonic tribes used it at
their celebration in honor of Ostara-
really Ashtorath, the Egyptian God
dess of the Moon-whom they called
Goddess of Spring, and from whom we
get the name now applied to our feast.
Our use cf it is that of symbol for
a symbolic idea.
The egg, at all times a symbol,
serves three-fod purpose--food,
plaything. and gift. Everywhere the
prescribed manner of use is to boil 1t
hard in some non-poisOnous stain, pref
erably red, the color of Christ's blood,
and decorate it with notices, land
scapes or symbols of the resurrection.
Accounts of the use of Easter eggs
made interesting many pages of re-
ligious history.
Italian Easter Customs.
Emilianne gives the following de-
scription OF an Italian practice: "On
Easter eve and Easter day all the
heads of families send great chargers
full of hard-boiled eggs TO the church,
to get them blessed, which the priests
perform by making several appointed
prayers and making great signs of
the cross over them, and sprinkling
them with holy water. These blessed
eggs have the virtue of sanctifying the
entrails of the body and are the first
fat or fleshy nourishment they take
after the abstinence of Lent. AS soon
as the eggs are blessed everyone car
ries his portion home and causeth a
large table to be set in the best room
in the house, which they cover with
their best linen bestrewn with flow
ers, and place round about 1t dozen
dishes of meat and the great charger
Of eggs in the midst. TITS very pleas

EASTER SYMBOLS
THROUGH AGES
Egg and Hare Have Always Been
Connected-FeaSt of ReSur-
reCtion a Mingling of Gel
ebrationS Common to
Many Peoples.
(Bv MARY RIG.

tBy MARY RICHARDS GRAY)
~ o YOU ever wonder why we
use the egg and the hare as
J symbols of Easter? Why we
connect the two? They are
symbols as old as man himself East
err, apparently solar festival CON
nected with the equinox, is in reality
moon festival. The hare Is the SYM
Dol of the moon, the measurer of
time, and the egg with its buried germ
represents the revival of life. In the
mythology and religion of the most an
cient peoples both are used. Mod
ern people have Joined them in curious
fashion.
Our Feast of the Resurrection is a
HIingllng of the many feasts of many
Peoples. 1t had its direct origin in the
Festival OF the Jewish Passover which
Christians continued to observe ac-
cording to established traditions. At
on appointed time in a certain lunar
month the Lord commanded the Jews
to make prescribed sacrifices and to
cut NCi t"ih ipouS io"SN 'oihp' uiiSaN-
ened bread, and bitter herbs-saying,
sit is the sacrifice of the Lords Pass
over, who passed over the houses of
the children of Israel in Egypt when
he smOte the Egyptians and delivered
our houses" Later "to suit the cir
cumstance of their history as type of
their departure from the land of Egypt
the egg was made a part of the fur
nishing of the table with the Paschal
Lamb"

that is rich and curious, in honor of
the Easter feast"
In the roll Of expenses for the royal
household of King Edward /, there oc-
ours this item for a certain Easter
Sunday: -Four hundred and a half
eggs, IS pence. These were stained
in boiling or covered with gold leaf and
afterwards distributed to the royal
household"
In early days all Christians greeted
each other at the Easter time with
the words "Surrexit" Christ has ris-
en) and the response, "Surrexit
we're" Christ has, indeed, risen).
Even now in Russia, where Easter Is
set apart as time for paying visits
as well as for going to church, friends
greet each other with the old form
of salutation, the kiss Of peace, and
n gift of hard-boiled egg.
Originated With Persans.
The idea of the egg as an Easter
gift comes from the Magians or Per-
slams, and bears illusion to the mum
dane egg from which the world was
Matched, for which egg Ormuzd, the
Angel of Good, and Ahriman, the An
gel of Evil, were to contend until the
consummation of the world. Prob
ably because easier to handle IL and
more artistic in appearance, candy
eggs have of recent years been substi-
tuted for the real article, particularly
in cities. AS the ultimate use of the
egg Is food, it may be questioned
whether this is happy change.
The Romans were the first people to
use the Easter egg as a plaything, I'M
less we call the breaking of eggs TO
symbolic bursting into new life play.
AT their springtime games they made
the rings in which youths ran oval
in form and gave eggs for priA.s.
Later, the games deteriorated into con
tests in which boys rolled eggs down
the hills of Rome. In the days when
the Easter celebration attracted the
entire world these contests took on
spectacular proportions and even In
our own country we have contests on
the lawn of the White House In Wash
lngton on Easter day.
Easter Hare Everywhere.
Everywhere along with the candy
and hard-boiled eggs In confectloners'
windows we see the rabbit, or more
correctly, the hare. He trUndles
wheelbarrow filed with eggs, or else
drags single egg. Children are told
hares lay Easter eggs and are sent to
the fields TO look for them. They are
also told that "babies" come In the
form of hares. The hare, the same
as the rabbit, In symbolism Is, in fact,
"the type of the moon itself across
whose disk endless numbers of Hindus
have painted the little animal" "Buhh.
ha took the shape of the hare that he
might feed his hungry fellow creatures
and was translated into the form of
the moon and in that form evermore
abldes."
indian mythology says Indra, dis.
guised as a furnished pilgrim, was
praying for food when the hare. hav-
ing nothing but himself to give, threw
himself into the fire that he might be
roasted for his benefit. Out of graf
itude Indra translated him to the

Celebrating the Passover.

Through the centuries the fundamen-
tai ideas of why and when to cele-
brate the Passover have not changed
AS a moon festival we still give thanks
for salvation through rebirth. In de-
tcrminlng the time of the festival the
Jews and the eastern church follow
the old lunar reckoning which some
times brings it before the vernal equi-
nox. The western church. though it
adopted the sun reckonings-th Gregg
rlan correction of the calendar-for
other things yet clings to moon reck-
onng for Easter and makes it "the
first Sunday after the full moon which
happens upon or next after the Dist
of March. If the full moon comes on
Sunday. Easter is the next Sunday
thereafter" This fixes the date be-
tween the 22nd of March and the 25th
of April. Twice in the nineteenth
century Jews and Christians cele-
brated on the same day and three
times during this century the dates
will coincide. That the holiday pc

PROUD DAY WHEN
BOYS GET CROSSES

WITH AMERICAN ARMY, at the
FRONT, June 24.-"Belieye me, your
blood just wouldn't keep quiet in your
veins as you stood on that hill and
watched the boys marching by il
waves with the band playing good old
American music. and the Stars and
Stripes waving over them. Believe
me. it's the best flag in this world,
boys. / don't know why, but my
throat was throbbing and / felt like

men for their bravery in repelling the

and led the boys to the field They'd

and the fellows who were going to get
the Croix de Guerre lined up across
the open space in it, when Heinie lets
go over Siecheprey way with lot of
his heavies. Course we didn't get
anything but the booming. It mixed
well with the band, especially when
our fellows slammed them back two
and three to Heinie's one.
They didn't slow up the doings
bit, and it made EN- all the more ap-
propriate. They played the Star
Spangled Banner and the way their
chests stuck out, and don't blame
them. Who wouldn't like one of thosel

Cheer up, it's nothing against you!
Most of the boys needed that kind of
advice, for they took it awfully seri-
ously, even the two chaplains who
were decorated for carrying fellows in
under shell-fire.
After thee rosses were all pinned
up, the generals with their stats and
