Bolero Is Adapted to
All Types of Figures

There can be no question as to
the youthfulness of the bolero, and
now that 1t has been modified and
adapted to various types Of figures 1t
Is destined to play leading part In
the fashions Of spring.
In its original version the bolero
was what might be termed fashion
risk for any but the tall and grace
fully slim. 1t seemed to cut the figure
off too abruptly and the effect was
frequently far from what one desired.
In its present aspect, however, 1t
has all the youthfulness Of its proto-
type, but Is infinitely smarter and
much more subtle In line. There may
be an upward curve in front or in the
back. Again the sides may extend up
ward while back and front are Of even
length. All Of which Is vastly more in
teresting than straight line all the
way around.

rious persons. TO the child, who can
not grasp it's religious significance, 1t
means day whose symbols are rab-
bits, little chickens and Easter eggs.
To the children Of Washington, d. G.,
1t means especially the day when they
roll Easter eggs on the lawn of the
White House while the President of
the United States and the First Lady
Of the Land look on and enjoy the
sight OF child's happiness. To Cali
fornians it means the remarkable sun
rise Easter service near Los Angeles,
the fame Of which has become world
wide.
Far as some of these meanings may
appear to be from the real significance
Of Easter itself, they are In reality
not SO far. Easter day is Resurrec-
ton day, the climax Of the springtime
urge when all nature awakes from
sleep, throws off the death-like chill
of winter and begins to live anew.
The egg Is the simplest and most-eas-
Misunderstood symbol Of potential
life. Within its shell is concealed
the germ which can be warmed into
life, So It becomes what Gan be re-
garded as the primary symbol OF the
Easter season. When that germ Is
warmed into life and develops to a
certain point, the baby chick energies,
and life, real life, begins. So these
fluffy little balls Of down, beloved OF
all the children, are also symbols of
Easter.
With all nature bedecking herself
In new raiment, why should not man
kind also celebrate the surge of re-
newed life with new apparel? So the
Easter hat and the frock in which
milady appears at church on Easter
morning Is not mere human vanity.
She puts them on because she must I
She has heard the call of spring, the
message that all life is renewed, and
she attires herself to be in keeping
with the season.
Easter has deep religious signifi-
canoe In it's celebration of the triumph
OF light over darkness, Of love over
hate. Of right over wrong, Of the true
over the false, of all that is good over
all that Is bad-of all these as exem-
plified in the life and death and res
direction Of Jesus Christ. But 1t has
a deeper Significance In that 1t exem-
Isplifies fundamental truth Of human
existence Man finds life good. He
longs for everlasting life. He longs
for some assurance that he will have
It, And the spirit Of Easter gives him
that assurance-that though he dies he
shall live again. So Easter is sym
Dol of that assurance. Christ died
but lived again. Man may die, but SO
surely as he has faith he, too. shall
! live again. So he can lift up his al
leIusas of Joy and hope and victory :

this fact caused trouble In determin-
of all these complications was that by
applying the Jewish rules to Easter.
the dates of the crucifixi0n and the
resurrection, two days which were
supposed to be fixed for all time; va
ried constantly.
For-325 years the difficulty between
| the Christians of Jewish descent and
those of Gentle descent continued.
Not being able to decide the recur-
renee OF Easter, the council of the
early Christian church finally appealed
to the astronomers in Alexandria,
Egypt, for aid. However, these scien-
lists were not OF much assistance, for
they had no lunar tables such as we
now have, computed by master math-
ematiciaHs. They attempted to make
rules. but the variations of the full
moon In reference to the year would
not cause Easter to fall on Sunday
any more than any other day. All
wanted 1t to come on Sunday, so each
nation celebrated to SUIT itself so that
i would come on that day. Thus In
4. 2. ys5 The Gaqls celebrated Easter
On March q, IN italy It feli on April
Is, and In Egypt on April IS.
Eventually the selection of GER
tain Sunday was definitely fixed dur
ing the Sixth century A. D. 1t was
designated as the Sunday between the
fifteenth and twenty-first days of the
moon In the first month Of the Jewish
lunar years. 1t was directed that the
computation should be made according
to the tables of Victorious of Acqui-
tame, introduced in 457 A. D. Be
cause of the fact that Britain had
ceased to be part of the Roman
empire. the Sixth century decree did
not affect the British church at first.
and 1t continued to calculate Easter on
basis previously approved at Rome,
The matter was finally disposed Of at
a synod held at Whitby in Yorkshire
In 684 A. D., after which the clergy
of the British Isles conformed to the
general practice Of the western
church.
Accordingly Easter is now observed
by both the Roman Catholic and Prot
estant churches on the first Sunday
after the full moon Cor fourteenth day
| Of the noon on or next after March
81. So 1t cannot be earlier than
March % nor later than April %.
Thus 1t Is possible for the astronomers
| and mathematicians to tell I'm advance
on what dates Easter will come each
year, and they are now known for
more than century In advance.
This, Of course, may be changed, es-
pecially If the proposed new calendar
which is to contain 13 months is put
into effect universally. In that case
Easter Sunday will be fixed date.

Partisan Pointers on
Latest Fashion Ideas

Ii one hopes to escape in dress the
implications of the jungle and allied
environments, the time is not yet.
Spring openings In Paris concede
even more space and time to sinuous
subjects like snakes, lizards and alli-
gators.
One of the Redfern models is de-
yeloped in brieschwanz, the fur
dipped In gold.
Premet not only INDUCES in gold
jewelry as an accessory, but goes SO
far as to sew gold beads at neck and
wrist In stimulation of necklace and
bracelets. This trimming Is so far re-
served for biackssfrocks. Berthe also
replaces real bracelets with embroid-
cred ones. Any number of these are
developed In strass on one sleeve only.
The boutonniere loses none of its inn
portance or charm. 1t simply extends
itself In new directions and assumes
fresh attractions with every move.
Jane Regny leads up coyiy to it when
she makes an application of green
leaves In vine pattern climbing over
q blouse toward the left shoulder. At
this point an organdie flower bursts
into bloom. Agnes designs "but-

Waistlines keep going up and up
and while some reach normal any
number fall just short Of It,
An interesting note Is the combina-
ton Of pink and blue in two cravats
that knot at the neck. These colors
are being associated by several of the
leading couturiers.
There is revival in cottons and
linens to slight extent.
All the signs point to successful
season for prints, small prints In
crepe and larger patterns In chiffon
and georgette. There are numbers Of
ruffied arrangements, little frills and
furbelows here and there, and perhaps
development Of tiers. These last go
on as prominently as ever. The tiers
we have always with us. until we
reach the point where we are tempted
to pun and change to tears. But since
youth is served, we should be very
glad to have them continue. Boleros
and tiers both contribute to youthful
suggestion. The mode is tied up as
uever before.-F Fashionable Dress

in Spring Styles
Slightly Longer, and As
sured Prestige in Dresses
as Well as Suits.

spring, accenting compose effects in 4

pretext, according to the fashion notes
in Fashionable Dress Magazine, here

The Fashion Forecast Of this
magazine states that while the bolero
which probably began this style con-
tinues popular, the slightly longer
Jacket is assured certain prestige In
dresses as well as suits.
The short Jacket matching skirt
Of the same fabric and worn over a
contrasting blouse, which may or may
not be attached to the skirt, Is nat
urally very softly tailoreu In It's dress
forn and the suit is likewise much
feminized. Belts often accompany
these jackets. and yokes enter the
scheme very decidedly.
In tailored dresses vestees combine
well with the bolero. Many Jacket
treatments emphasize the compose
note in costumes and the important
yoke of the moment accomplishes the
same thing, as for example the white
yoke with the black frock or the
mauve with the violet.
While the disappointed yoke con-
tinues to be important, Fashionable
Dress Magazine points out that the
square yoke is decidedly significant.
Diagonal neckIines have also come In
to fashion with flourish, slanting

HIS year on April IL the
whole Christian world
will be celebrating Easter
Sunday as the Festival Of
the Resurrection Of Jesus
Christ. Because Easter
means so many different
things to many different
people, 1t is worth while
for us to take stock Of our

of this annual festival, and after do
ing that we may, perhaps, have
clearer idea of what ii should mean
to us.
Nearly everybody knows that the
date of Easter varies from year to
year, that unlike Christmas 1t does
not come on one certain day of the
month In one certain month, that I'M
like Thanksgiving day 1t does not
come on certain day Of the week In
a certain month and that II may come
on certain day-Sunday-in either
Of two months. That is to say, Eas-
ter Sunday mag fall either In
March or April. But they do not
know, perhaps, that 1t cannot come
earlier than March % nor later than
April rs nor the reasons therefor.
To arrive at those reasons it is nee
essary to go back into ancient history.
The festival now known as Easter
was celebrated by ancient Israel as
the Passover for many centuries be-
fore the birth of Jesus Christ. 1t was
based upon the events which took
place when the Hebrews were saved
from the destruction which was WIS.,
tied upon the Egyptians, as given In
Exodus 1927 The first Christians,
being in the main Jews, continued for
long time to observe the Passover
as well as other ancient ceremonies.
But gradually these early followers Of
the Cross began to substitute the
Christ for the paschal lamb of Israel
in the Passover ceremonies
Eventually there arose difference
of opinion between the Christians of
Hebrew descent and those Of Gentle
descent as to the time when these
ceremonies should be celebrated.
Those Of Hebrew descent declared
that the day Of the death Of Jesus
should be the date of the ending Of
the paschal fast, which in Hebrew
rites, always was on the fourteenth
day Of the moon in the evening.
Therefore the Easter festival, which
followed, might fall on any day Of
the week. Those of Gentle descent.
however, wanted the first day Of the
week, Sunday, to be the first day of
the resurrection festival. Thus the
Friday preceding would be observed
as the date of the cruciixion without
paying any attention to the day of the
month, the fast continuing until mid
night of Saturday.
The dispute over this point was
complicated by the Irregularities Of
the time of full moon In relation to
The year. The Hebrew sacred wear
began at the instant of the yernsI
equinox, but this time is subject to
flight changes due TO the astronomical
fact of perturbations of the motion of
all bodies in the solar system. The
Hebrews based their years on lunar
changes, whereas we now determine
the exact length OF a year by the s,n
and stars, which Is more accurate n
Is notable that the ancient Hebrews
always had trouble with their chro-
nology because they based the begin
ming of each month on the first sight
of the new moon.
The trouble was principally due 10
the fact that the moon reyolves
around the earth in p days 7 hours.
43 minutes and 111a seconds. and the
earth around the sun in 1,55S, 149 sec
onds. Therefore the moon makes
l3.3687 revolutions to the earth's
one. Full-moon times are also out OF
harmony with the spring equinox, and
