When he had signed his name on
one of the blanks Molly bent over him
and stuck a Liberty Loan button on
the lapel of his coat
Whether ii was because Molly. IN
attaching the button, had been forced
to come very close to him. or whether
his surrender to her opportunities had
brought him a t1eeting sensation OF
satisfaction, he did not know. But
somehow, after Molly left, and he
looked down at the button, he felt less
guilty But he knew he had not sub,
scribed through patriotic motives, or
because he had felt il was a duty he
owed to his country; he had merely
bought the bonds because Molly had
seemed to insist-because there had
seemed to be no way Of denying her.
His convictions were the same they
would not change.

Fresh garlands OF eloquent bloomr'
a IL the churches are decorated
~ for the festival after Resur-
a n rectlon; and the lily, emblem
of purity, sweetness, and grace com
bined. is the favOrite flower for deco
ration.
Flowers voice the essential feeling
Of Easter. Each fragrant blossom is
the fulhllment Of a divine promise.
For the perennial miracle Of an awak-
pned earth is in full harmony with the
aspiring note of religion reiternting its
faith in the promise Of new life.
Flowers, like music, speak the Ian
guage of the heart. They are capable
Of conveying the most personal and In
dividual ideals while yet appealing TO
common universal vision and imagi-
pation.
This Characteristic of flowers fits
them especially both to express the
private affections of the giver and en-
rich the symbolism Of the altar. A
basket or a cross of flowers can say all
the heart wishes to say and say IL
without Obtruding personal feeling.
In medieval times flowers spoke "a
definite language, the Interpretation az
which seems almost lost for a season.
The palm, the classical Symbol OF
victory, was early taken as the symbol
Of martyrdOm. 1t was outlined on the
tOmbs of the early martyrs, and it was
placed In the hands of those who suf-
fered in the cause Of truth, to express
their final victory over the powers of
sin and death.
Roses white and red voice innocence
and love. The Madonna was the "ROse
of Sharon" A wreath of roses is
placed upon the brow of st. Cecilia.
Roses and fruit are borne by st. Doro-
thea. A white anchor of camelias, with
its top cross, expresses faith and
hope.
The lily has long been regarded us
expressive of purity. In Bermuda, In"
home of our Easier lily, all the roads
are full of people. white and black.
carrying lilies to the churches ut dawn
on Easter day. With them the door
ways, affairs and pulpits are decorated,
and the graves are completely covered.
Each lily and each Easter flower thus
bestowed is vocal. like one of those
Old Iitanies that have descended to
us from time immemOrial, full OF
wholesome piety and Charity-cGm-
mon prayer to all devout souls. The
flowers are of yet older birth than the
ancient prayers-primeval litanies be
for ever music was.
Their elOQuence is growing on us
from year TO year, as we bring roses,
lilies and other Easter flowers to deck
the affairs of God, to hallow with their
perfume and beauty the resting places
Of the departed and to dedicate oar
homes to Christ with our bright,
sweet, sacred emblems.
Christ is risen with glad lips we utter,
And far up the infinite height
ArChangels the paean re-cChO
And crown him with lilies Of light"

CUrwin entered his office in a cold
rage. He felt Molly King watching
him covertly-at least 1t seemed to
him that she debut he did not look
in her direction.
At noon he heard Molly rise from
her chair. She got her hat and coat,
stood before the glass in the alcove
for an instant, and then moved toward
him. He felt her presence at his
side and looked up, TO see her smiling
at him. In one hand she held pencil.

One Famous Easter Eaa.

The record in the size and cost of
Easter eggs was broken by one given
some time ago TO famous Partisan
actress by one of her admirers. ON
Easter morning an immense van rolled
into the courtyard of the house in
habited by the actress and on the van
rested o gigantic egg made OF wood
and decked with velvet. At the first
moment the astOnished lady did not
know what to do with this amiabIo
gift but soon she noticed in the egg
a door, and, upon opening II her eye
fell upon a carriage with two hne
horses and coachman sitting motioR-
less on the box.

ground in salt water is often bored
by a pile worm near the surface, but
is preserved by driving in nails with
very large heads, SO as to give the

then transformed by the water into a
layer of rust, which protects the wood

solution Of the world-diff1culty was the
adoption Of the doctrine Of "the broth
erhood Of man." A draft was imml-
nent, the orator said; and he advised
all men to resist ito the point Of
revolution, IL necessary.
Also, the orator had something to
say about bonds. They, too, we're
evil. There could be no war IL the
people refused to finance 1t. The rich
men Of the country were behind II all
the poor did not want war-they
would not have 1t.
At this point in the orators speech
there came an interruption. A sin

Corwin raised his voice sneeringly:
BAH" he yelled at the orator;
how much does the Kaiser pay you
for shooting off your MOUTH"
There was a laugh, some Kisses, and
some applause for the interrupter
Then suddenly, the crowd began to
move. There we're shouts. hoarse i'm
precautions, blows.
In an instant turmoil reigned. The
crowd became a huge blot animated
by swinging arms, and articulate with
curses and Infatuated yells. Corwin
saw the interrupter, grim smile on
his face, drive into the press, swing
ing his arms like fails. He saw men
go down under the mans blows; and
as Corwin ran for a position of safety
he mentally remarked that the express
sion of the mans face was much like
that which had been upon the face Of
his stenograpber when she had told
him. "Recause America Is America"

He OWNED that the fighting instinct in
the stenographer was as strong as
that which had driven the strong
faced man to grimly attack the friends
of the orator.
However this incident strengthened
Corwins conviction that the country
did not want war. And when from his
position of safety he saw policemen
fighting their way into the crowd, dis
persing it, and arresting some of the
disturbers, he cynically remarked to
bystander that the incident proved
that the workers Of the world had no
