Hot Cross
Bun Returns
for Easter
BY SISTER MARY
MA Serrice Writer

nURING Lent. hot cross buns
II claim much Of our interest.
Many bakers have featured this
bread every Friday during the
period, while others save them
especially for Good Friday and
Easter morning.
The custom Of eating hot cross
buns originated in old England. In
ancient times buns, if properly
made, were supposed to keep for
years.
They probably took the place of a
pagan sweetmeat served in honor of
Eastre, Saxon goddess Of the east
whose feast was celebrated in the
spring. The sign Of the cross on the
buns proclaimed it Christian cake
Baked Evil Spirit
often the housewife put the sign
Of the cross on her bread TO prevent
the evil spirit from interfering with
her baking.
AS Good Friday was considered
the most unlucky day of the year,
she naturally took every precaution
to guard against evil influences and
make her baking a success.
Since proper hot cross buns are
made with yeast, there are, of
course, two good methods long
process and the short process.

Nor Is it probable on the other

might create, We believe that analogy
with the World War markets should
not be closely drawn. While the scope
Of operations might conceivably become
extended, from the standpoint of the
amount of ground covered, combating
lines would be thinly drawn, and the
volume of ornaments and consumptive
needs Of -combatants would be rel
atively insignificant. As a more logi-
cal comparison, it Is noteworthy that
the effects of the Russo-Japanese war

that some slight strength would be i'm
