WATCH FLIGHT OF
DOVE AT EASTER
Florentines Have an Odd Custom
Which Is Said to Commence
rate the Deeds Of a Knight in
the Days Of the Crusades.

A CURIOUS custom prevails in
~ Florence at Easter In the flight
II Of the Dove. Its origin Is OBJ
scure, but the Rev. s. Barring
Gould, who has well described it in
his In Troubadour Land" says that
it Is alleged by some to commemorate
the deeds of a Florentine knight, who.
in the crusade led by Godfrey de
Bouillon, was the first to climb the
walls Of Jerusalem and set upon them
the banner of the Cross. This knight
then sent back the news of the re-
covery Of the Holy Sepulcher to Flor
ence by q carrier pigeon. and so it was
the first city in Europe to hear the
good tidings.
The CARO-, a huge black structure
on wheels, is garlanded with flowers,
and covered with fireworks. It Is
drawn into the Cathedral square by
white oxen, also decked out with flow
ers. Then the following ceremony
takes place. A rope Is extended from
the caro- to q pole which is set up in
the choir Of the Duomo, before the
high altar, right up the whole length
OF the nave. Upon the rope, close to
the pole, Is perched a white plaster
dove. At the stroke OF twelve, while
the Easter eve Mass is in progress, "a
match Is applied to q fusee, and in
stantly the white dove flies along the
rope, pouring forth a tail Of fire, down
the nave, out at the west gate, over
the heads of the crowd, reaches the
CARO-, ignites a fusee there, turns, and,
still propelled by its fiery tail. whizzes
along the cord again till 1t has reach
ed its perch on the pole in the choir,
when the fire goes out and 1t remains
stationary. But In the meantime the
match ignited by the dove has COM
municated with the squibs and crack
ers attached to the CARO-, and the
whole mass of painted wood and flow
ers is enveloped in fire and smoke.
from which issue sheets OF flame and
loud d~etonations. Meanwhile Mass Is
being sung composedly within the
choir as though nothing were happen
ing without. The fireworks continue
to explode for about q quarter Of an
hour, and then the great garlanded
oxen, white. with huge horns, are re-
yoked to the CARO-, and II is drawn
away"
The flight Of the dove Is watched
with keen attention and interest by
the peasants. for from its STYLE Of
flight they augur a variety OF future
happenings. Thus, II the bird sails
along easily, without jerks they say
the summer will be fine; while II 1t
goes sluggishly. and makes frequent
halts, they presage storms, late frosts,
hail, and, as a consequence, bad crops.

EASTER FESTIVALS
IN SPANISH CITIES
Fontarabia Always Gay With
Professions and Festivities
Gorgeous Celebrations in Sc.
vile the Order for Centuries.

CPAIN, lying at peace In the heart
of war, need not be disturbed in
the celebrating Of holy week, and
so will continue to be first among
the nations honoring Christ in realistic
ceremonial. The little town Of Fon-
tarabia, a stones throw from French
soil, is almost al old as the present
government Of Spain. Religion and
war have been the greatest forces in
its ancient streets, and a fortress with
many battles to its credit yet guards
the quiet people whose greatest time
Of the year is that which Is close upon
Easter Sunday.
PROFESSIONS are the chief feature,
and the images OF Christ and the
saints, which figure in these process
sions, are the treasures of the small
city. The gay city OF Seville has the
most gorgeous celebration Of Easter
perhaps In the world, in the matter Of
symbolic ceremonies In the streets,
and as the most beloved city Of the
Spaniards its practices have had a
wonderful influence over the little
towns, so many Of which nestle against
the mountains or sun themselves along
the sea.
Rome. Petrograd and Venice have
caught the a Of the world with the
music Of their services during the
week Of the Passion, but in the COM
bined gravity and colorful symbolism
with which the little towns Of the
Spanish peninsula go about observing
Easter there Is no superseding. The
images Of st. Anne. the mother of the
Virgin; Of Mary Magdalene and the
Savior are the most popular and the
most revered, and those which are
most adored in the procession. The
figure Of the Christ In Fontarabia is
very old.
Poland and her Easter feasts are
heralded widely. blessing the food"
at Easter time IL fully as ancient a
custom and Is more familiar. It Is
now spoken Of as purely a Slavic
feature. In the houses Of the prosper
Gus, before the war, the tables fairly
groaned with viands for the Easter
dinner that followed close upon many
days Of very abstemious fasting. Be
fore the meal was prepared In any
household, great or small, the food was
brought In baskets to the churches,
where priests sprinkled It with holy
water and gave 1t their blessing. A
lamb cooked whole formed the center
piece Of the table, as much as a goose
In Germany Or a turkey in the United
States at a Christmas dinner.

They were coming to palaver with
the sheik.
The old Arab met them at the en-

wickedly when they had appraised the
newcomers. They stopped before him,
exchanging greetings. They had come
to trade for ivory, they said.
The sheik grunted. He had no ivory.
Neriem gasped. She knew that in Z

farther forward to get a better view Of

Suddenly one Of them turned his
eyes in her direction. She tried to
dodge back out Of sight. for she feared
all men, but he saw her. Meriem saw

He stepped from his tent and almost

direction Of the gates. They demurred,
and then the sheik threatened. It
would have been suicide to have dis
obeyed, SO the two men turned and
left the village, making their way i'm
mediately to their M camp.

S MART ATTIRE
ECONOMICAL,
SENSIBLE

Becoming clothes are never an, ex-
travagance and now is the time for
individual economy.
Every woman must adopt as a war
measure sane and sensible buying
without extravaganza.
While frilly, lace frocks will soon
be holding the centre of fashions
stage, still just now we feel most conf
Portable clad in something not quite
so summary, and more often than not
that something takes the form of
one-piece dress of satin or silk.
In spite of the fact that the shops
hive their lamps all trimmed and
burning and ready for the arrival
of the summer season, they still have
an eye to the present and are offering
most attractive garments for imme-
diate needs.
And the best of it is that the gown
purchased now will be almost like
new and ready to serve its mistress
in the early fall.
Because, undoubtedly, of the late
ness of the season a galaxy of beau
ties are being offered at extremely
moderate prices and wise is the
woman who takes advantage of. the
late May offerings.
Madame la Mode has made her
many admirers happy this year by her
delightful combinations of materials
and of colors.
Sometimes it is only a touch of
something different, but ever the re-
suit is most effective.
Both of the gowns shown above
are developed in soft satin.
A girdle and back panel which falls
from the neck half way tosthe bot
tom of the skirt exploit Powered rib
bon in rich Persian colorings and add
a striking note of contrast to what
might otherwise be a rather demure
dress of smoke gray.
Drapery plays an important part
on this model Gas indeed it does on
many, and the rather unique drap-
ing of both bodice and skirt does its
bit to give distinction and it must be
in justice confessed that it has gone
far toward assuring the desired sue
cess.
Black and Copenhagen blue form
a happy union in the other gown,
which is named Nippon because of
decidedly Japanesy embroidery,
which appears upon the front of the
bodice.
The touch of gold which seems to
be in most things celestial, strikes 4
brilliant note upon it's dark back
ground.
Both hats show the tendency of the
day toward size. One, a Leghorn, is
| trimmed with a huge bow of black
velvet, and the other bears two clev-
| erlv placed p1umes.

LAND AIR MAIL
IN NEWARK PARK

New York, May S1.-Plans to
change the landing place of the air
planes in the air mail service between
New York and Washington, from Bel
mont Park on Long Island to Branch
Brook Park in Newark, are being con-
sidered by. Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General Otto Praeger. Officials OF
the Railway Mail Service, who were
a site for the landing place
n Newark, said that one reason for
the change was the heavy fogs over
New York Bay and Long Island that
hampered the aviators in seeking their
landing place at BelmontPark. The
air mail service was discontinued for
two days recently because of the heavy
mists over Long Island, and it is
hoped that this difficulty will be elm
mated when the mail is landed at
Newark.

FALL FR1Ur1NG STRAWBERRIES

There are now several varieties of
fall-fruiting or ever-bearing straw
berries that are decidedly worth cul-
tivating, so there should be a small
patch of them in your garden. Plant
them out this spring-it is not too
late to set them now if you get at
the job immediately-they will bear
this fall They should be given or
binary methods of culture and any
flower stalks that form upto the mid
die of July, or first of August should
be pinched out. Besides this falls
crop the plants will bear again next
spring and then fruit again in the
fall, although of course to get the
largest fall crop the plants should
not be allowed to exhaust themselves
by fruiting to heavily in the early
summer.
Progressive and Suberb are best
varieties so far developed
The only disease likely to cause
trouble with the. Strawberries is rust
or blight. It occurs first as pots on
the leaves, which turns a reddish or
brownish color and finally die. When
there is reason to fear it, spray four
or five times during the first season
with Bordeaux mixture; spray early
in the spring of the second season
| just before the blossoms open, and
again just after poisoning. Be care
full to set out only clean, healthy
plants.

Nothing wrong buty our nerves"
is a saying that is fast dying out in
this country. While nerve trouble is
no organic disease, one of our leading
nerve specialists remarked: "a man

Overwork and worry drains the
nerve cells of their reserve strength
and food, and then follows the sleep
less night, indigestion, poor appetite,
impure blood and general nervous
breakdown.
The thing to do in such cases no
longer troubles doctors and their pa
tients who know from their own ex-
perience the value of Phosphated

regular use of this nerve food and
