battle from the Vosges to the sea, are
other crosses. Some are pathetically
aslant and numbered with the mud of
Flanders and the curious red clays Of
the hill countries. But all, all bear
the names of fresh young boys and
the more sober man from the English
Midlands, the cockney who told you
of the derring-do of Lunnon blokes,
and the lads who made these shores
from "the States"
The names on the crosses would fur
nish forth an atlas of the world. From
the bush of Australia, from the rolling
prairies of our own great West; from
the hills of Wales and the gray scat
tered fellsides of Yorkshire dales;
from Scotland and Ireland; from the
fields of Flanders they have come.
And there are men of strange and
unpronounceable names who knew the
golden days Of Indio, and men from
the deserts Of Africa.
A little apart, like regulations I'M
der a shadow, are h graves of a few
Germans. A mound covers an "un-
known Chinese soldier" and, s%trangest
of all, perhaps, painted on a board
among the thickly strewn crosses of
Christ, are the Star n Crescent of
the Prophet over the dust of a Mo-
hammedan soldier. One woman lies
there-an English nurse who died on
active service.
Natures Kindly Work.
Some of the graves seem very new.
But already, in a c~onfounding growth
of pale blue flowers, each of the older
graves is losing, save for its little
cross, its individual identity.
Nature Is at her task of smoothing
out and toning down. She seems to
be uttering a fatalistic call to forget
the past. Yet, standing in this little
garden, in the austere presence of
the multitudinous dead, n says that
when so much urges us to remember
our hate, 1t may be well to listen to
other voices which plead with us not
to forget our charity.
And Gairmans are nae doot the same:
The lads ye're stickin' in the wame
Fechts no fer deevilment or fame,
But julst for pride
In his bit dacent canty hame
By some burnside.
In the community Of death there Is
something terrible and august in
whose presence hate seems a mean
and miserable thing and, like a shad-
ow, melts away. In he same mo-
ment one thinks of the boy who, at the
bend of the road on a faint September
morning, looked back and waved fare
well to some girl at a gate, and of
some lad, not less dearly loved, who,
at another's call, left his pleasant
Rhineland valley to go back no more.
Easterl And the boys, with their
r~ejuvenescent Christ, fertilize the lit
tie plots with Christian blOod-pale
blue flowers, in n shy profusion.
Chamber up the crosses and wander
listlessly around the little mounds.
If any, being dead, yet speak, surely
they are not volceless who lie here In
this fiat little piece Of land, skirted by
the great high road which huns all
day with the intense stream of traffic.

no meat whatever was eaten and on
Good Friday no food at all was per-

The custom of using eggs is sup
posed to have originated with the an
Client Greeks and Romans, who col
ored them to use in their pagan fes-
tival. Marvellous stories may be
found of bewitched eggs, said to be
able to fly straight toward the sun,
and one famous variety was said to
have been laid by a rabbit. The story
of the origin of the Easter egg seems
to be a mixture Of the Christian and
Pagan legend, and is as follows:
There fell from the heavens, long.
long ago, an egg of immense size; 1t
rested on the E%uphrates, when a dove
descended and Matched 1t. and out of 1t

The cemetery is a t~umble-down

long since lost their gilt; the iron

Beyond this old portion of the GENE

In row upon row, the new white

Here, In this fiat piece of ground,
skirtcd by a great high road which
huns all day with the intense traffic

There's a wreath of posies on 1t,

"a bit of twentieth century democracy

Mawr College this afternoon.
The Governor was as light and airy
in his remarks as the maypole
dancers were on their toes. The only
serious twist to his address came when
he brought out the purpose of the
revels - the Bryn Mawr endowment
fund with which to raise the salaries
of the teachers.
The long green dollars are among the
tAings that aren't as they used to be-"
he said, 'and We all have trouble to
foster enough of them to make life
agreeable.

PARIS, May 7.-American food, as
served in restaurants in that country,
did not tavorably impress the Duchess
Of Clermont-Tonnerre, who visited the
United States last autumn. The only
American foods that appear to have
made an appeal to the Duchess were
red bananas, California apples and
oranges and 'hams of Virginia."
"One must admit" she says, chat
food in America is not good The
necessity of eating seems to have be-
come for Americans q sort Of mon
otonous and obligatory annoyance, and
they are bending all endeavors toward
simplifying the performance.
american butter is poor and Amer
lean cheese cannot be eaten. American
chickens are emaciated and scrawny,
and one has the feeling 1t is a cruelty
to put a knife to them. All Ameri-
can dishes have passed through cold
storage and are insipid."
