DAWSON TO HAVE A
GORGEOUS EASTER
DATE FALLS ON APRIL 10Th
THE LATEST EASTER
IN MANY YEARS.

Dawson Is anticipating an Easter re-
plete with flowers, both natures and
the milliners, for Easter will fall upon
April 20, which is the latest date in
many years, though the occasion has
come as late as April Is.
The explanation lies in the tact
that Easter is always the first Sunday
after the full moon on or before March
p. Easter was celebrated on the
first day of April in 1923, and the date
on which it may fall ranges from
March q to April Is, although it
rarely occurs on either Of those dates.
AS Easter falls on April 20 this year.
Ash Wednesday will be on March l.
The luna month is used in reckon
ing the date on which Easter tails,
and it is therefore, not set by the real
or astronomical moon. his Gus
tom is in accordance with an ancient
ecclesiastical ruling bat seldom makes
anv difference in the date, as the astron-
omical moon nearly always accordS
with the luna month. ~
The 1ateness OF the date this year Will
indubitablv find a profusion OF flowers,
and ali nature is expected to be in tull
bloom to make the date set aside Tor
Christ. one Of the most Impressive
OF the entire year.

will receive the verdict of the court
as to whether she is entitled to one
half Of Mr.. Gould's wealth. This was
decided by the court yesterday, after
she presented her claim on the
ground that as there was no settle
ment at the time of the marriage she
is entitled to one-half of Mr.. Gould's
property. She bases her action on
French law, contending that as this
law was qualified to divorce her it
should also serve to settle her status
as wife.
Her counsel asked that the property
of both parties be treated as joint
property and liQuidated.
1T Is unjust" he said, that q dol
lar prince like Mr.. Gould should say:
You are English. I am American; |;
We married without a contract, and
owe you nothing"
The plaintiffs counsel argued that
the Goulds when they were married
lived in Paris and, therefore, ought
to be subject to the French laws.
