THE EASTER PARADE.


We're smiling once more at the Easter parade
The charming young things in fresh costumes
arrayed!
Pert bonnets and tresses
And dazzling new dresses
Make nature wonderful thing as displayed!
There's Add-a-Line, Anna and dainty Marie.
In rich 1imsy stuff, just as chic as can be!
In corals and pearls
This trio of girls
Remind you of mermaids fresh from the seal
There's the daughter of Erin, the merry Kath-
leen,
Bewitching in tunic Of soft crepe de chine,
Her corsage bouquet
Is of lilies today,
Her veil and her stockings OF emerald green!
!:
Lauras hat Is of roses and sweet mignonette
While Mrs. X. US is trimmed with an aigrette;
But Aye Gees new bonnet
Oh, how could she don It?
Not rim, just crown, covered over with jet!

THE FACE WITH THE SMILE.


The world has no use for the face
with frown,
We pass them and shun them each
day;
The world loves the skies with the sun
smiling down
And never the dull clouds of gray
And the meadows and hills where the
violets bloom
Are smiling in Natures own style;
So seek not the face that's a mirror
of bloom,
But the face with a wide-open smile.
IL shop men would frown when we
go in TO buy
We would never go there again;
And the miller who smiles when the
farmers pass by
Is sure to grind double the grain.
And even the blacker of boots who
can jest
And keep a bright face all the while
We always call first, for the world
loves the best
The face with the wide-cpen smile.
So rub off that frown from your fore
head, my friend,
'Tis worse than the soot-sweeper's
CRIME:
For SCOT needs but soap. but frowns,
in the end
Leave burrows far deeper than Time.
The face full OF sunshine will never
grow old.
Though Trouble may try every vile.
And the richest of treasurer. more
precious than COLL
Is the face with the wide-open smile.
