Easter Bunny
With New Moor,

Tradition abounds in the popular
American customs that surround
Easter eggs and s'bunnies," IA
miliar to every child who has been
taught the occasions significance.
The connection between Easter
and the rabbit is said to come from
the fact that the hare is a symbol
for the moon, which determines the
date Of Easter. In Egyptian, the
name of the hare also means ''to
open," hence the association of the
hare with the opening of new life at
spring festivals.
The egg is an obvious symbol of
the spring awakening. The bright
colors of painted eggs symbolic
hues of the Easter sun and the joy
which follows the whiteness of win
ter. In Germany, where both Eas-
ter rabbits and eggs originated,
children, are told that if they are
good a white hare will steal down
the chimney and hide brightly-col-
ored eggs in the house. In many
foreign places the Easter hare is
as important figure as Santa Claus
at Christmas.
If young men in some English
villages can catch hare and pre-
sent it to the parson before 10 a. m.
on Easter Monday, the rector is
bound by an old law to give them
100 eggs, Calls head and a groat.
Egg rolling on the White House
lawn, a popular Easter custom at
Washington, began soon after the
close of the Civil war. Originally
the annual affair took place on the
Capitol terrace. When authorities
complained that children were
harming the turf, President Hayes
and his wife invited youngsters to
do their 'egg-rolling on the White
House lawn. The event has been
annual ever since.

Pagrinaages
Determined
Easter Date

Easter was originally dated to
suit the convenience of pilgrims who
needed moonlight in their annual
tricks to Resurrection festivities.
Footsore and weary, they plodded
both day and night to reach sacred
shrines for this observance. Hence
it was decided that Easter shall
fall on the Sunday following the
first Paschal full moon after March
81. The occasion may therefore vary
over a period of IS days-from
March % to April Is.
Lent, great period of fasting in
Christian churches, grew from a
40-hour to a 40-day ritual as it
came down through the ages. While
most Christians commemorate
Good Friday as the day of the Cruel
fixion, Mohammedans also celebrate
it as the day of Adams creation.
Among ancient Germans, this date
was sacred to the goddess-mother,
wife of Odin.
The association of Easter Sunday
with the arrival of spring arises
from a coincidence. The day oc-
ours almost simultaneously with the
ancient heather Roman celebration
of the vernal equinox.
Many customs have grown up
around the Easter observance. In
England, figs are always eaten on
Palm Sunday to commemorate Fac
cheus, the publican, who being .'lit-
tie of STATURE" climbed into a tree
to see Jesus pass by the way
through Jericho.
Easter eggs and Dummies" are
traditions among American children
at this season of the year. In Ger
many, spring lambs are sold for
the Easter feast.

some of the long leaves and using
them as a guard, I turned Ace over

I composed his arms. I drew his

the sword from the wound, wiped

Coddled Apples-Two cups boil
ing water, one or two cups sugar,
eight apples. Make a syrup of
sugar and water, boiling five min
utes. Core and pare apples; cook
slowly in the syrup; cover closely
and watch carefully. When tender,
lift out the apples, add a little
lemon juice to syrup and pour
over apples. The cavities in the
apples may be filled with jelly or
faisins.
SClear boiling water will remove
tea stains from table linen.
Cretonne slip covers will retain
their color better if washed in

To make perfect mullins COM
bine all dry ingredients, then add
liquids quickly, stirring but not
beating. Do not stir after ingredi-
ents are moistened. Fill muffin
pans two-thirds full and if mix
ture looks lunpy it will smooth
out during baking.
Keep the top on the milk bottle
so the milk does not absorb ice

With knife or tips of the fingers
work to a dough with water, sweet

A little salt added to an egg

Sweet Prunes-A very delicious

prunes for breakfast is to soak
them in fruit juices. Whenever l.
jar of fruit is opened save the
juices and put a few prunes in
the jar. When they have become
swollen they are ready to be

Your Work at Hand

Look to tomorrow and plan for
tomorrow - but don't forget to
work today.
The people are not so often
fooled as it seems. They're in

If you find that life is trying,
do little trying yourself.
Pleasures are the commas that
punctuate LIES sad story.
One likes as a friend an optimist
with strong peppery flavor of
pessimism in his makeup.
Hold on to the Handrail
Friendship is the handrail up
the stairway of life.
He is a poor fighter who permits
an idea to strike him when he if
off his guard.
Grouchy folks are sincere in
this: They do not try to hide their
bad temper. But that makes them
no more likable.
Future grandpas will tell more
about the hard times of this era
than about the "good old days"
Which Kind Have YOU'D
One kind of temperament stands
aside and scorns the human race,
another kind tries to see what
can be done to better it.
You never can tell. An exploded
theory doesn't always wake up the

Happiest housewife is one who
