JOEY'S EASTER LOX
Spring had come at last, Already
the brown, bare earth was greening in
the sunshiny glade; the pink buds
were peeping forth in the Orchards,
the pu.ssy willows nodding to the
breeze,and a blae bird was thinking
of making her nest in the old maple.
Speckled Bid had clucked tdiumpbant-
ly out a the barn with a brood of
clewny chicke, and Aunt Ilepify was
house-cleaning.

A $100,000 Easter Egg.
Who would pay $100,000 for an
Easter egg? Such was the present
Napoleon gave to his Empress at Eas-
ter in 1862. The egg itself, although
made of gold, was not so valuable but I.
inside were pearls valued at the Love
stein.
It was about the middle of the nine-
teenth century that the Easter egg
• reached its zenith of costliness. Per-
haps the most remarkable was one
, sent by a Court Chamberlain to an
steese. This egg took the form of a
igantic coffer, ten feet high and twice
as long, in which was a charming vic-
toria, complete with groom and ponies.
Another egg, presented by a South
African millionaire to his fiancee, con-

wedding gifts.

A charming legend is told among
the ;french peasants in the East of
France, which Easter eggs bear
a prominent part.
Ma.rgaret of Austria, Governess of
the Low Countries, having left Flan-
ders on a pilgrimage to a distant and
far-famed shrine, arrived at Bourg, a
town not far from Lyons, where she
remained a few days at a castle in
the depth of the forest.
