vary and of the grave. The lighting
of the new fires symbolized the resur-
rection.
1t seems incongruous, at first
thought, that Easter-the principal
| festival of the Christian church-and
All Fools Day-a day of practical
jokes and horseplay-should fall on
the same day-and on Sunday at that.
On second thought, however, there
is nothing homogeneous about 1t, ex-
cepting the fact that All Fools Day
should fall on Sunday-and that Is the
fault of our fearful and wonderful
calendar.
Both Easter and All Fools Day had
their origin. away back In the begin
nlngs of the race, In delight at the
approach of spring. 1t may be easily
understood that the winter was a
hard season for many oe the primeval
peoples and that the increasing
warmth Of the sun and the springlng
up of vegetable life meant literally
a renewal of life. So the yernal
equinox celebration of primeval peo-
pies was largely expressed In actions
of exuberant JOY.
Even after the coming of Christian
ity Easter was celebrated with games,
songs. dances and dramatic shows. In
the Middle Ages 1t was the custom at
Easter for the people to listen to
amusing tales from the pulpits of the
churches. Special cakes were baked
our modern equivalents are hot-cross
buns and simnel cakes. Brightly
painted eggs were presented to friends.
So there was originally little diff
ference In the celebration of the two
days. In fact, the modern celebration
of All Fools Day is probably a sur
vival of the less serious features of
Easter day.
Anyway, All FOOLS Da.- is apparent
ly just as old as Easter. The Scotch
call the victim of an All Fools Day
Joke "gowk" or Cuckoo" The
French name for him Is "un poisson
d'Avril"-April fish. The Romans eel
ebrated the Feast of Fools on Febru-
AIRY IT, The Hindus have their Hull
festival on March 81.
So 1t is likely that the popular cele-
bration In this country of april Fool
Day" is the survival of some pagan
festival of the ancient world largely
devoted to horse play and the playing
of JOKES In sheer exuberanee of spirit
because of the coming of spring.
The pictures show three phases of
the celebration of April 1. 1893. One
shows crowd of worshipers going
into st. Thomas church on Fifth ave
nue.. New York city. Another shows
survival of prehistoric days-the
egg-rolllng on the White House lawn
by children on Easter Monday. The
third suggests the pranks of All Fools
Day.

giving and Christmas, for instance,
that thousands of people In turkey
states like Texas and Missouri and
Kansas bend all their energies to have
their turkeys ready for the market at
the psychological moment.
And when everybody wants turkey
the general public eats less meat.
Hence the butchers and market men
have to keep watchful eye open.
Now, as everyone knows, Easter is
preceded by the Lenten season of 40
days. During Lent the American
people eat less meat than usual and
more fish and oysters and more eggs
So 1t makes lot of difference to a
lot of producers whether Lent begins
In February or In March.
Then there's the climax of the de
mand for eggs at Easter. Besides, the
demand for baby chicks Is so great at
Easter for advertising. display and
gift purposes that many incubators
the country over have to set their
hatchings with Easter Day In mind.
In short, 1t seems a trulsm that
holidays, whether of festivity or fast
Ing, patriotism or prayer, are reflected
In the busy marts of the country. And
one of the most far-reaching In infiu-
ence Is Easter, with Its month-long
variation In dates.
Easter Is the principal festival of
the Christian church, commemorative
the resurrection of Jesus Christ from
the dead.
Nevertheless, Easter has an origin
far antedatlng the resurrection of
Christ-one that goes back to the
early days of man.
Casters original significance was
the celebration at or near the vernal
equinox of the beginning of a new
year. 1t celebrated the end of win
ter and the approach of spring-the
coming of light and heat-and life.
At Rome the sacred fire In the tenn

spending ceremony is still common in
various parts of Europe. Bonfires are
lighted from flame originated by
the priests on Easter eve. These
fires are kindled every year on the
same hill, which usually is given the
name of easter Mountain" The sig
nifleance Is this: As far as the light
of the bonfire reaches the fields will
be fruitful and the houses safe from
fire and disease. As the flames die
down, men, women and children leap
through them as protection against
disease.
When Christianity came to the
front II adopted the pagan holiday of
Easter. 1t explained that the extinc-

tween March % and April %.
At first the Christian Easter syn
chronlzed exactly with the Jewish
Passover. This was rejected In the
Western Church on the ground that
the resurrection took place on the
first day OF the week after the Pass
over and should therefore be COM
memorated on Sunday. After much
controversy the particular Sunday was
definitely fixed In the Sixth century
to be the Sunday between the fifteenth
and twenty-first days of the moon In
the first month of the Jewish lunar
year, the computation to be made ac-
cording to the tables of victorius of
Aquitalne which were introduced in
475 A. d. Followed another century
of controversy. Then the matter of
the date of Easter was finally dis
posed of at the synod held at Whitby,
England, In 1864. After this date the
clergy of the British Isles conformed
TO the general practice of the West
ern Church.
So now both Protestant and Roman
Catholic churches observe Easter on
the first Sunday after the full moon
on or next after March 81. Thus
Easter cannot fall earlier than March
% or later than April 25.
Easter seldom comes rs early as
March %. In fact II WAS away back
In 1918, more than century ago, that
Easter last fell on this early date
The nearest approach was March %
in 1856 and 1913. Between now and
1850 its earliest date viii be March
"a In 1910.
Thus Easter may fall more than a
whole month later some years than
other years. For example. 1t fell on
April %, the latest possible date. In
1886. 1t will fall on the same date In
1943. 1t fell on April "a In 1850 and
on April % In 1905 and 1910.
Easter and All Fools Day only oc-
casionally fall on the same date. They
coincide in the century 1S5O-1o5O, but

THE BUSINESS OF BEING A CHILD
"RED-STRAPPED OVERALLS"
BY Josephine Weyman

A man who, by the general world,
is accounted a successful man, once
said to me: a never had a chance to
play"
That statement was, in some way,
the most appealing, the most pathetic
remark that this man ever made in
my hearing. Successful as he is in
the business world, this mar misses
(and the pity of it-knows that he
misses) some of the joyous careless
comradeship which makes life sweet.
Others may sometimes taste the sugar
icing of the cake; for him, life is
merely %breadstuff, substantial but
rather tasteless. He misses the thrill
of the unexpected nuts and raisins
in the cake, the hearty slap on the
shoulder, the easy joi de vivre which
is the heritage of those who learned
to play when they were children. Now
that he is grown, this mar is too
"grown-up" to play. He has been
"%grown-up" for a long, long time, and
1 am afraid now that he will never
know the utter joy and relaxation to
be found in playing.
But he knows-this man who "never
had a chance to play'-he knows that
he has missed something, and some
thing infinitely precious for l heard
him say not long ago in speaking of
his infant SON.:
'That kid is going to have a pair of
red-strapped overalls, and I'm going
to send him out every morning to get
his hands dirty! If he doesn't find
a mud-puddle or a sand pile inside of
five minutes l won't think him worth
very much!"
What an extraordinary remark, some
people might think! Indeed, sending
a child deliberately out to get his
hands all dirtied up!
But the mans wife turned to me
and said:
"You know my husband always said
that when he was a child they kept
him too dressed up to play; Lord
Fauntleroy suits and Buster Brown
collars!"
The explanation was not necessary
for me, for l had never forgotten that
previous remark of his: 81 never had
a chance to play" and to me this
mans sand pile and m~ud-puddle were
wildly real. l saw him, a pale lonely
child, wistfully watching other chill
dren burrow deep into the clean white
sand. l saw him standing far off so
that no spatters might bespeck the
Buster Brown collar, while other boys
joyously explored the wonders which
