SOT-ieCIMeS within our hearts the
good lies dead,
Slain by untoward circumstances or
by our own free will,
Hnd through the world we wall* with
bowed head
Or with our senses blinded to our
choice,
Chinking that "good is evil —evil good,”
Or with determined pride to still the
voice
Chat whispers of a "resurrection morn."
Cbis is that morn—the resurrection
hour
Of all the good that has within us
died,
Che hour to throw aside with passion
ate force
Che cruel bonds of wrong and blind
ness-pride—
Hnd rise into a level high of power,
Of strength, of purity, while those we
love rejoice
ftlith "clouds of angel witnesses" above
Hnd all the dear ones who before have
gone.
Hnd we ascend in the triumphant joy
Hnd peace and rapture of a changed
self
Chat now transfigured stands—no mere
the toy
Of circumstance—or pride, or sin, to
blight—
Until we reach sublimcst heights
Hnd stand erect, eyes fixed upon the
right,
Strong in the strength that wills all
wrong to still,
{Hill, pointing upward to the ascended
Eord.
Bless, aye, thrice bless, this fair, sweet
Caster dawn.

The Easter
Egg Crack
A QUAIKT old Easter custom ob
served annually by a French
famby living in New York,
where no festival goes by un
.eedecl, could easily be the keynote of
an Easter froli • or entertainment. The
e'-gs to be used are always colored be
forehand. when do:’*ens of them arc
decorated in the old fashioned way
iigured calicoes, onion peel, bluing, etc.,
being used hi lieu of any modern proc
ess. After the eggs are thoroughly
dry the children of the families par
ticipating in the ceremonies are al
! wed to rub them with caudles to
make them shine. It is claimed that
the effect of the wax on tin* shell as a
strength giving element is also a part
-f the tradition.
On Sunday ('veiling a large silver
bowl or tray in the center of the sup
per table holds the gayly decorated
eggs. Then the fun starts. Half of
the participants are seated around the
table, and the others stand or walk
about. Every one helps himself to an
egg, holding it in his hand with the
point just visible.
The person seated holds his egg up
to be gently touched by the egg held
by the person standing. If cue end
gets cracked then the other end is
turned, and when both ends are crack
ed the egg is forfeited.
The object of the game is to see who
can collect the most eggs, and prizes
go to the most successful.

On the Easter
Tea Table
FOREMOST among Easter dain
ties are the south German Eas
ter loaf, the mid-German “bun
ny bread” and the delicious
‘‘rabbit ears,”
The first of these consists of light,
well sweetened, many raisin dotted,
white wheaten bread; the next of
cooky dough shaped into bunnies—
snub tailed, long eared, wildly rampant
or hunched up bunny fashion—with a
bright silver coin for an eye. And the
really most toothsome “hasen-ohren,”
or bunny ears, are made as follows:
Haifa pound of flour, three tablespoon
fnls of sugar, four tablespoonfuls of
butter, a teaspoonful of salt, two whole
eggs and the yolks of two others are
worked into a dough, which let stand
for three hours in a cool spot.
Roll out to the thickness of a knife
blade and with a pastry wheel cut into
strips four inches long and one inch
wide. Bake in briskly boiling lard to
a delicate golden yellow, sprinkle liber
ally with powdered sugar and eat be
fore they’re three hours old.
These same inch wide strips, cut into
longer lengths and woven round and
round before immersing in the boiling
lard, form the so called “stork nests”
of Suabian fame. Such a “nest” filled
with delicately tinted Easter eggs
makes a charming center dish for the
juvenile Easter supper table. New

Possibilities of an easier hat
By GERTRUDE M’KENZIE
Copyright, 1917, by American Press Asso

■jVT I6S VHN VJv6CK had been read
) A ing Gome newspaper jo he
tdiat suggested a sectional hat,
Bui,tbinhingthc p’an might be feasible,
spohe:
"I believe there io some sense in that.
ChiS man says, if boohcascs thus can be
bought
Rnd gradually paid for, a hat surely
ought/'
ffowv easier was coming, a.nd new hats
•fleece hial*.
]M[iss Van Vlcch’s stoch cf cash was
quite low,
But she found a sweet straw thing as
blue as the shy,
brimmed with roses as white as the
snow.
So springhhc it loohed and so dainty
and sweet
Hnd the price not beyond what her purse
could well meet
Ctlhcn the spring was well past and the
summer had come
Jdiss Van Vlech saw no good reason
why
She should not tahe a short trip away
from her home
Cos celebrate fourth of '"July.
So she touched up her headgear with
red roses new
Ind loohed patriotic in red, white and
blue.
>Mit the autumn came on, and election
drew near,
piiss Van Vlcch thought it scarcely
would pay her
Cos add to her hat till sure news she
could hear
OF her father’s election as mayor.
IGhcn she heard it her straw hat received
