In some way or other ‘there have crept into this Easter season many cus— toms Doth beautiful and curious, some of them being traced vo the religious thought which Is the ‘trwe center of the occasion. Churches ring with the most beautiful music of the year, and are Gecked with the gorgeous offerings of mother eagth, In fact, at Easter the earth seems to be our life, The ope Gut of church ts suen the Easter egg.

Some, catried awWay by the excitement of the moment, ‘would often roil after the eggs. When, as some- Uines happened, the rolier went a tie faster than the roiled, tue combination, particularity if the eggs ‘were soft enough, was frequently unique. But the Goddess of” Liberty trowned one Easter evening, when sbe saw her pretty ter- races over her left shoulder all dented with heels, aud torn With toes, and stafned with eggs, and strewn with shells,'and forthwith she Dade this frivoiity cease. Luckily for the youngsters the White House grounds have always Deen open to the egg-roliers, and there is no prettier sigut in the neighboring country than the south lawn on a bright Easter morning. Indeed, tt is one @f the “sights” of Washington, and Visitors are always guided to the Wuite House grounds to see the “rolling.” ‘TUE SCENE TO-DAY. ‘The scene to-day was particularly lively and at- tractive on account of the pleasant weather. The | little ones were almost invariably accompanied by their mammas or nurses, who had to keep a sharp lookout tuat their little charges did not Strap in the lange crowd Mundreds of boy's, une julbdful of trouser grass stains and prospective colds, made easter eggs of themseives and rolled over and over down the gentle slopes. There were almost a8 many spectators as actors today. About noontime a great many clerks from the | heighboring departments stroiied into the grounds | to enjoy tue pleasing sight. The view from the White House windows is particularly attractive on Easter Monday, aud to-day the President fre- | quently glanced down with interest upon the crowd of happy youngsters, NEW SPRING BONNETS. After the eggs come the spring bonnets. Which are the prettier, or the gaudier? it is often hard Yo decide between the bonnet and theegys, It seems to be a recognized law tn society that the ehureh-going ob Easter Sunday is for two specific purposes—iirst, of course, to be devout, and then to Wear that new spring bonnet. If you have noae, the best thing to do is to goearly. It 1s often diMcuit to decorate a church on Easter, experus say, Because ove can make no allowance for the ‘coloring that will be throwa into the body of the churen. If itis too brilliant, in the form of rib. Lous and bows, it is llabie to kill the tints of the flowers, and so the poor decorator is at the mercy of the ‘milliners TIRED OF EASTER CARDS. ‘The custom of sending cards to friends ou Easter 48 dying out, as 1s the case with the valentines. ‘People seem to get Ured of this fancy picture-card trade, the book-store clerks say, and there 18 a re auarkabie failing off in the saies every year, —s BASE BALL, News about Clubs and Pinyers—Open- ing of the Season, ‘The Washington ball team returned Friday aight in good condition and all ready for seme hard practice work.
