We wait for Easter and the glad rebirth
Of •all things fair
And clean and good and veholeeome en the earth,
When sunshine warm to scatter Winter's dearth
Ie everywhere.
We wait for Easter and the glad release
From lethargy
Of Nature's children to breathe forth their peace
And give our weary bodies quick increase
Of energy.
We wait for Easter and a world made free.

April's Costume
Never a girl more quaintly
dressed
Than lovely April is—
poke bonnet lined, crab apple
pink;
Catkin -furred pelisse.
The silken fabric of her gown
Draped over crinoline,
Misty violet shot through
With birch leaves' tender grimily
Her feet are shod in p'
laced,
Softest, loam tan kid,
And ah, the ruffles now disclosed,
Now demurely hid,
Of cherry -petaled pantalettes;
The white starched petticoats
lelake music where she walks, as
crisp
As wind in fields of oats.with
And all the air is spiced
scent,
• When lovely April passes,
Of satchets of orris root
Budding in marsh grasses.

So sang the baker's boy as he
pushed his flat two -wheeled cart
laden with Easter confections
through the narrow streets ot old
London; and to most people even
yet Goad Friday would not be com-
plete without the Hot -Cross Buns
to adorn the breakfast table.
MARKED WITH A CROSS
Many are the stories
have
the
been passed down through
ages in connection with this blur.
It Is said that the inhabitants of
ancient Egypt and Greece offered
sacred cakes to the Moon Goddess,
marking them with a cross to in-
dicate
ndicate the four quarters of the
moon. Then at a later date, the
Saxons ate a similarbread,
rew ,,. Thine
h
they called "bonus,
" or too, were marked with a cross, in
honor of their goddess of light.
In a number of European coun-
tries the Hot Cross Bun is regard-
ed as a good -luck symbol, and it is
believed that one should be kept
until the following Good Friday to
insure the best of.fortune throw h -
out the yearn. In one part of Eng-
land it els still believed that Hot
Cross Buns hung in the chimney
corner ou Good Friday will guar-
antee good bread to the housewife
for the following 12 months. An-
other tradition in connection with
the Good Friday buns and bread
is that if kept through the year a
fey,* crumbs soaked in water would
work a cure for any ailment,
As plentiful as the Hot Cross
Buns at this season of the year
are the gaily -colored eggs which
adorn almost every shop window.
These are a survival of the distri-
button of "pace" or " pasahe ege,"
zealously observed for generations
by children in. Scotland as well as
in the English counties of Lanes,
Stafford and Warwick, where the
dyed, hard -toiled eggs were rolled,
tossed and finally eaten; for "ball -
playing" on Easter Monday was
universal. Even bishops and deans
joined in the dancing and throw-
ing of a ball in the church, the
clergy and laity alike competing
for prizes of "tansy cake."
One of the most beautiful of
Easter customs comes to us from
Central :Europe, where the Tyrol-
ese observe Holy Saturday in a
unique manner. On the evening of
that day they traverse ovary Slow-
er -strewn valley singing hymns ac-
companying the,n1SelveS on gnitars,
and calling people from their
homes to join in the procession.
Wearing broad -brimmed bats ad-
orned with spring blossoms, and
with dancing oltiidren about them
and lighted pine torches adding to
the effect, these musicians present
a most pictuve,que appeavenC.,,
