." HERE is an amazing variety In
the hats that have been made
for wear at the winter resorts,
perhaps because so many people are
journeyng to them and because these
people demand individuality In the
millinery they wear. Out of the great
mass of new things for spring that
have their try-outs in the winter re-
sorts, some things survive their brief
season in the South and become es-
tablished styles for spring.
In the group of three hats shown
above, hat and parasol to match, of
cretonne, is selected from number
of such matched sets, a good many
of them made of cretonne. Taffeta
silk, hemstitched in rows, and other
materials are featured In matched sets
also. Those of cretonne usually have
the figures outlined with yarn in black
or in a solid color. Bands of black
appear ON the parasol and on the
small hat pictured here.
The pretty sailor hat at the right
of the group is among those that are
likely to outlive the resort season, and
appear with the survival of the fttest
when Easter challenges millinery de-
sIgners to display their triumphs. II

One of them ends in length of satin
that trails some inches on the floor,
having for its companion the chou and
end of wide moire ribbon which bears
it company to the last. Either kings
blue or Jade green make the best
choice of color for this ribbon; both
are beautiful with black, and fashion
able. Very wide chantilly serves to
veil the shoulders and to add further
graceful drapery to the design, falling
nearly to the bottom of the skirt at
one side.
A wde-brimmed, droopy velvet hat,

awakening OF the earth in the spring
and then she sent them out into the
woods, telling them each to make

and to leave the nest under the trees.
The children were curious, but they
did what they were told without oues-

they hurried back to the cottage for

pared. When the meal was over, they

Ia ANY are the explanations of
the connection of the egg with
the Easter festival, but per-
- haps the prettiest story OF ali
is that which was written many years
ago. Many many hundreds of years
ago there lived in a great city a beau
tiful lady with her husband and two
children. This lady was as good as
she was beautiful and much of her
the happiness of others. At one time
war was waged upon the city and
the good lady was forced to fee from
her home and with her two children
seek shelter in the mountains near
small mining village. Here the peo-
pie were very poor and simple, but
they were contented with their hum
Bile lots and tried to make Lady Rosi-
linda feel as comfortable as was pos
sible. They gave the best OF their
lodgings to the great lady and brought
offerings of food. scanty though these
offerings were. In spite of all the ef-
forts of the poor miners to make their
noble guests happy very often the lady
and her children went hungry. for no
meat was there to be found, and such
q thing as an egg had never been seen
You will wonder why this was SO. and
when I tell you there was not single
hen in the whole village, you will won
der still more. But remember this all
happened many hundreds OF years
ago. when hens were found only at
the courts OF the rich. and many poor
people did not know that such bird
existed. Lady Rosilinda saw the faces
of her little ones grow pale. and as
she looked upon the ptnched cheeks
Of the miners children she realized
that II it were only possible to bring
good food to them. they might grow
sturdy and strong.
She had with her an old servant
who went each week back to the city
to get news OF his master, and the
next time Lady Rosilinda sent the old
man back to her home she told him
to bring with him a coop full of fowls.
Imagine the surprise OF the simple
folk when they saw the strange birds.
and picture the excitement of the
children when a few weeks later they
saw new brood of fluffy chicks run
ming about the proud mother hen. But
still greater surprise was In store for
them all, for the good lady. saved up
eggs for some time and then she In
vted all the village mothers to come
to an egg feast, These people had
never eaten an egg before. so Lady
Rosihnda showed them how TO cook
the eggs and how to open them and
how to eat them with salt and pepper
and then she gave each guest num-
Der of fowls and sent then home with
instructions TO feed their children the
eggs and watch them grow strong.
AS Easter time approached Lady
Rosilinda wished 10 arrange a sur
prise for the village children. The
war was still waging and she could

each child's nest lay five beautifully
colored eggs.
Great was the children's surprlst
and JOY. They wondered how the egg
had been put there. Some suggested
that maybe a rabbit had placed them
there and all began TO speculate upor
that theory. It proved such a happy
treat for the children. that when theif
mothers heard Of 1t they determined
that every year on Easter Sunday they
should have similar party, and grad.
ually the idea spread so that now al

THE STRANGE EASTER MAGICIAN

And they waited. The first week
went by very slowly, 1t seemed TO
George. He looked at the eggs from
time to time. and there seemed to be
no change in them whatsoever. Dur
ing the second week he began to get
excited and when the fatefu! day ar
rived he could hardly sit still--so ex-
cited was ne.
Then one evening George and his
mother stood around the nest and
they listened TO the eggs There
sounded a strange noise. a peep"
from within each egg.

Mother. Give her time and she will

George watched.
In minute he heard a crack. a
snip and then-such q surprise!
A little baby chicken appeared

the feathers of Biddy's wing. Then
another and another. In couple of
minutes mother took one of them out
and held it in her hand.

Biddy's Easter present TO him was
a wonderful one. He loved the little
