It was during the rush one after
noon that madam called an apprentice
from the workroom to assist. It was
iter duty to flit about and supply sub- j
jeots for madam's elo|ueuce. I was ;
brought out, the customers being par
ticularly smart. It was stupid of tHat i
girl to leave ine on a table with several'
plebeian toques, and. though I quivered
with anger at the Indignity, neither |
madam nor her experienced allies paid i
the slightest atteutlon to my plight
They were too busy selling my Inferl
ors. ,
j And there were such rude remarks!
"What have we here—a New England
boiled dinner?" asked a coarse straw.
"No." replied a saucy sailor, "It Is a
Bice wedding cake. But I'm afraid it

body laughed.

"Are yon * special order?" queried
the little toque.

bitter. Women flirted with me, and
several came again and ugaln to see
me, but that was as far as any affair
ever went!
A few days after Easter a qui r cou

shop. Little flakes of rice that baa
been part of a hailstorm at some rural
station still clung to their garments.
The two gazed about in awe. I never
saw a Woman so pathetically unattrac

Easter Egg§»
By OLIVE HARPER.
[Copyright, IKWT, by C. N. Lull*.]
/VJjJ,N. fS? ANY very pretty
/ \ /£» little gifts may

I S j from eggshells.

vI I to make, re-
VI It quiring no ex
\ cfi£> /cm* P p, " , l ve decoru
\. /" tlon, which Is
i the fault with
many things
With Inexpensive foundations.
One of the easiest things to do with
Easter eggs Is to paint them, and tills
Is done with water colors, The hair Is
palutcd In any preferred color and the
features drawn In any way tho..artist
may decide, ('bluatuen. nuns, fero
cious ttusslaus or Indeed any kind of
face uiay be drawn. A round of card
board cut out to tit around the tup of
s whole shell makes a presentable hat.
A small three curnered tile Is useful
In cutting the eggshell Into different
shapes. Baskets ure formed by tiling
oft the shell to the shape marked out
by n pencil, and the work Is very easy.
These eggs should not lie boiled, while
the others, which are to keep their
•huge, should be bulled very hard.
A Crochet needle and n little colored
silk, u walnut half shell and two tiny
china dolls make a perfect balloon. A
three legged kettle Is made by t-ulting
bits of pasteboard Into the shape for
the feet, soaking them In hot water
until they can be molded Into any
form nnd theu gluing them to the bot
tom of the kettle. A soft wire forms
' cuora , rT .
THE handle. All these ITR» to bold HIIIIIII
caudles.
A very dainty fancy IN the vnse
with u spray of arbutus or H daisy In It.
This requires nine slender sticks, rlx of
cNfiiiil length and three twice nx long
MM the others. ltiimhoo IK the prettiest,
but straw* will do, as the content*! are
uever weighty. Three short silk cord*
oud tassels also are needed. Tie the
three longest sticks In the middle with
colored cord and thou separate tlieni to
form u tripod and fasten the shorter
ones at the ends. Thin makes a little
stand. The cord and are fay
tened at the upper part, which
pretty finish. The empty shell Is twen
decorated to represent a Japanese vase.
Holes may he drilled In three empty
shells, with the tops chipped oIT Irreg-

ularly and fastened together by a wire
or string, and they may he prettily or
uamented or left plain, to contain mus
tard, salt and pepper
A tulip may he made by stringing a
piece of wire through the large cud,
while the small end Is cut by the tile
to the shape of a partly unfolded til
Hp and then painted In tulip colors. A
glass dish, deep and whole, is partly
filled with water and an egg weighted
slightly at the larger end A neck and
head to represent a swan are made of
white cloth rolled Into shape while wet
with starch, ind this Is fastened to the
giunll end of the egg, which must be
lighter than tho other end, HO that the
glued neck wlll.be lifted out of tho
wiitl'i'. A paper tail I* fastened at tlio
buck, unci lid til must bo high enough to
be k|it dry. A mallard duck, mado In
tho Hit mo manner, In also very pleas
lug, especially to tbe young folks, ns It
seems to swjm about in tlio water
when they blow upon It.
A piece of cardboard cut In a shield
shape four Indies long lias the lower
half of a half of a shell Killed to It.
The upper edge of tho shell has a piece
of ribbon Killed to it, and this, passed
through the cardboard, helps to keep it
solid. Itelow is a small rounded square
of sandpaper Kluod fast. A hole In tho
top with a ribbon to hang It by finishes
this little match holder.
There Is really no end of odd and
artistic fancies that can be worked out
for the decoration of tables for Easter
and for tho pleasure of the children.
The Turks say that whosoever gives a
child an hour of pleasure gains a thou
sand years of paradise.
Eastertide.
Jteneath the slurs of dawn tlio Saviour

And east tho trammels of tlio tomb

That wo might kneel In simple gratitude
At Eastertide.
We, tun, Khali rise u&ain at. break of duy
To the dear heaven where his saints
abide
And meet the risen Lord to whom we
pray
At Eastertide.
Ills tranquil lilies silently unfold
Their dewy eups, and field and moun

Thrill with thflr bursting buds of white
and guld
At Eastertide.
They, (no. have sprung new risen from
the tomb,
Type of tho life for which our Saviour
died.
The n will wo bind his holy cross with
bloom.
At Eastertide,
