treasures, but the little vandals think
differently. Sometimes the battle be-
gins at home at the traditional Easter
lunch of currant bread and hard-boiled
eggs. Every member of the family
arms himself with the hardest egg he
can pick out and then the fun is to
beat your egg against that of your
neighbor and try which is the harder
of the two. The egg that breaks is
forfeited to the one who breaks it.
Be sure you will see no wooden
shoes; it must be very poor mother
indeed, who does not give a pair of
real" shoes to her little ones on
Easter day. Often there is a band
playing on the Easter meadow and a
Punch's show to amuse the children,
or a merry-go-round inviting you to
get seasick at the shortest possible
notice. They don't heed that, the lit
tie ones! They sit on the wooden
horses or in the little sleighs and en-
joy being driven round in circle to
the tune of the barrel organ and the
merry little bell that rings at every
oil lamps are lighted the merry-go-
round is gorgeous sight with its
horses, sleighs, bright copper styles
and draperies of red velvet and white
lace. And the grown-up boys and girls
take the places of the little ones, and
their laughter sounds merrily over the
field where the evening dew is falling.
At The End Of the Day.
Then when darkness comes and the
glorious sun is gone, suddenly on all
sides of the horizon other lights ap-
pear. the Easter bonfires sending their
flames on high as symbol of light
triumphing over darkness, soaring up
ward unto the source of all light and
all purity.
Mystic symbols and quaint old Gus
toms, how far away can we trace
them! Through the darkness of the
ages, far away even to before the time
of Christ, whose resurrection Is cele-
brated in them with reverence and joy.
Far away to the times of our an
cestors, the ancient German and Saxon
races. whose religion was one with the
veneration of nature, in communion
with which they lived their simple,
strenuous lives.
And so from generation to genera
ton, through all the changes of re-
ligious and political life, the cherished
customs of olden times are held in
reverence in this little corner of Eu-
rope and will be held so In spite of the
leveling influence of modern civiliza-
ton, for immortal through all out
ward change is the soul of nation.-

Iuen IOllOW lHe merry ploecosiohs
in white nightgowns with the gay
Easter palms, gladdened by the dear
old song that does not cease till bed
time:
Palm, palm of Easter
Ell koerei.
After one more Sunday we shall have
an egg.
One egg is no egg.
Two eggs is half ar egg.
Three eggs is file Easter egg!
never could find out what was
meant by the joyous "Ei koerei." 1t
might be a corruption of some Old
Greek psalm or song but must leave
the explanation to classical scholars.
All know is that we used to sing
orr palm song until we went to bed
quite hoarse with the singing and rath-
er the worse for the different bites of
'swan" we had enjoyed in the course
of the day. That glorious prediction
of the "good Easter egg" is largely full
filled, you may be sure.
The soft-eyed, downy Easter hare
does not lay its eggs for us, as it does
for our little German neighbors. Our
eggs are laid by ordinary hens, but
they are wonderful just the same.
Grandmothers, aunts and sisters
amuse themselves by knitting many
colored little nets to hold the Easter
treasures and, on Saturday, mother
hangs up big kettle of some mysteri-
GUS stuff to dye the eggs with. Some
are colored green with spinach leaves,
others red with beet juice. The more
elegant ones are painted by some art
ist friend and provided with names
and dates. flowers and even pictures.
The many-colored nets are filled with
eggs and oranges and kept in store to
be given out on Easter morning.

First the wheel must be attached to

placed upright, each with twig of fir

chains of raisins, prunes and many
coipred sugar plums are hung between
