It. is not only Easter Sunday
an event In the calendar of
officialdom, but likewise Easter Mon
day (which Is a great day In. Wash
ington) and the whole Easter week.
However, this, whole Interval may, in
effect, be considered as Easter.
From the standpoint of officialdom
the first significance of Easter is the
religious one. For, be It known, mos:
of our officials that Is, our national
officials are very conscientious
church goers. Whether they are offi
cials because they are church goers, or
er they are church goers because they are
Federal officials may be a mooted question,
but the fact remains that the average public
servant during his Incumbency of office In
the city on the Potomac Is faithful in attend
ance at divine worship. And even the excep
tions who are "backsliders" at other seasons
of the year strain a point to be "among those
present" on the joyous Easter morn.
The second significance of Easter in official
dom is as a day of family reunions, second
only to Christmas In the eagerness with which v
It is anticipated. "The opportunity for such
reunions arises from the fact that a large pro
portion of the children of our public men at
tend public or private schools elsewhere than
In Washington, even though their parents may
maintain a home at the capital. Sometimes It
Is a matter of sentiment that makes an official
desirous of having his children educated In
his old home town, and In the case of the
young men and young women there are the
college magnets Vassar and Wellesley and
the rest for the girls, and Yale, Harvard, Cor
nell and others for the boys.
It thus happens that there Is a small army
of sons and daughters to come home to the.
habitations of officialdom for the "Easter vaca
tion," and usually they bring with them as
many school chums as parents can arrange to
entertain, for Washington at Easter Is
proverbially one of the most fascinating places In
America and offers no end of opportunities for
good times for young people. During the Taft
administration the White House has taken espe
cial cognizance of this Easter home-coming cus
tom, for the junior Tafts have been among those
exiles who have made the Easter pilgrimage,
bringing with them school friends. Accordingly
Mrs. Taft has always made it a point to arrange
a round of social festivities, Including an Easter
week dance for not only the "house party" at the
Presidential Mansion, but the whole body of Eas
ter reunloners In officialdom.
a tMrri Rltrniflcance that attaches to Easter In
officialdom is Its function as the Inaugural of the

Business to Attend To.
- "I've come to seo about the mantles,
Miss."
"O, yes, I'm so glad you have come
so soon; will you step into the draw
ing room?"
The young man stepped; he was
pleased with his pleasant reception.
After awhile ma came in and said:
"How do?" So sorry to trouble him,
but would he mind if they" tried the
mantles on? Her daughter's was a
trifle too full, and her own a trifle
too long, she thought. Perhaps he
would be good enough to see.
The young man said he would be
only too delighted.
The two elegant mantles in the lat
est style which were lying across the
back of tho sofa were then donned,
and the young man said he thought
they looked charming: Yes, perhaps a
little alteration was required, but If
they would excuse him he would be
glad if they would let him get on with
his work and show him the gas-burners
that were requiring fresh mantles.
Why! Wasn't he from Jiggins &
Jigginses?
0, no! He was the young man
that attended to the mantles from the
gas company! Rehoboth Sunday

Is commonly known as the "Court church or
"Church of the Presidents," and it merits the title
for though President Taft Is not a member, he
occasionally worships there with his wife, as did
every President from Madison to Lincoln. It is
almost useless for strangers to hope to gain ad

dent Taft Is a member, although in simple truth it
must be admitted that President Taft Is the only
attraction hre, for not many other public men of
prominence happen to worship at the same
church as the President. But it Is the President
that the Easter throng wants to see and they
block the sidewalks about the church until aftet
his big motor car has whirled up to the curb
and the President has disappeared into the
church. After the service there Is somewhat of
a repetition of the scene, but the crowd Is not so
large, because it is etiquette for the President to
be allowed to make his exit ere the rest of the
congregation leave their seats and he Is well on
his way to the White House ere most of sthe peo

Easter in Jerusalem
The Immense throng of pilgrims of every hue
who crowd the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in
Holy Week and who wander amid the sacred
places throughout March and April is a spectacle
unique of its kind and to be compared only with
the Moslem pilgrimages to Mecca and Medina that
are beyond reach of the ordinary tourist. Here
fair-beared Russians from Moscow herd with yel
low Copts from the Nile valley and pale Rouman
ians mingle on the hanks of Jordan with bushy
headed Abyssinian blacks.
From the moment the visitor lands at Jaffa,
where the only convenient hotels are kept by Ger
mans and situated In the German colony, he is
made to realize the weight of German influence
in Palestine. It dates, in fact, from the visit of
the German emperor, for whom, lest he should
fulfill an old prophecy, a special gate was built
Into the Holy City. The tradition was that any
ruling monarch who should enter Jerusalem by
one of the ordinary gates on horseback would
stay aa Its king.
A month In the Holy Land, with Holy week in
Jerusalem, offers no difficulty. On landing at
Jaffa, wither he Is carried In a night from Alexan
dria or Port Said, he may proceed by next morn
ing's train to Jerusalem. It is not an attractive
journey, but it -lasts only three or four hours and
runs through the stony vale in which David slew
Goliath, In the Golden City Itself, where the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the center of at
traction, everything lies within easy reach of the
hotels; the street of David, with Mount Zion; the
Garden of Gethsemane. the walling place of the
Jews beside the walls and the Mosque of Omar,

throughout Islam, patterned with a splendor of

Officialdom does not change Its regular routine
on Easter, and consequently has Easter dinner la
"the evening Instead of at noon, as do so many
folks In other American communities. The after
noon is devoted to calling and to driving or motor
Ingahvays a great afternoon diversion in Wash
intrlnn KnmA of the foreigners and other cos
mopolitan hostesses In Washington have of .late
years manifested an inclination to devote all Sun
day afternoons and evenings and Easter in par
ticularto regulation social functions such as
teas, receptions, etc. However, the more devout
church members in official circles, headed by Mrs.
Taft, have set their faces resolutely against this
attempt "to introduce at Washington anything
savoring of the "Continental Sunday."
Evening church services on Easter at the cap
ital are as well attended as are the corresponding
services in other cities, but one sees compara
tively few prominent officials at such evening serv
ices. Whether it is that they feel that their devo
tions of the morning should suffice, or that the
late dinner hour 7:30 o'clock at the White House
and In most fashionable official homes Interferes,
It is difficult to say. Or, perhaps it may be that
officialdom considers that it had best early to
bed in preparation for the strenuous program of
Easter Monday which is a not less busy day for
the grown-ups of officialdom than for the thou
sands of excited children who- roll eggs In the
President's big back yard.
