TWO HAPPY KIDS ON EASTER MORNING
Song of the Resurrection Morn
After Richard Le Gallienne
AWAKE fond heart and sing an Easter song
To the sweet anthem of returning bird
And swelling bud and pale ascending blade
Add the last word
Drear was the winter and the waiting long
Heart there were hours indeed thou wert afraid
So long the spring delayed
AWAKE fond heart and go thou forth and sing
Unite thy voice to all this music sweet
Of opening leaf and busy building wing
And falling showers
The murmur soft of little lives newborn
The armies of the grass the myriad feet
Of marching flowers
QHUT in the winters alabaster tomb
So white and still the sleeping summer lay
That dead she seemed
And none might know how in her magic side
Slept the young spring and moved and smiled
and dreamed
Behold she wakes again and open eyed
Gazes in wonder round the leafy room
At the young flowers Upon this Easter day
Awaken too my heart open thine eyes
And from thy seeming death thou too arise
Y TOW softly blows the resurrection horn
Across the meadows over the far hills
In the souls garden a new sweetness stirs
And the heart fills
And in and out the mind flow the soft airs
Awake fond heart and sing this Easter morn
In the years resurrection do thy part
Awake fond heart

when the egg began to cut
JUST an important ligure in the
cclebraliou of the Easter festival
is still a subject of grave dis
pute It is perfectly clear however
that the good people of the early mid
dle ages knew all about it The folk
lore of that period makes frequent ref
erence to the part played by the egg
in Easter doings and there have been
handed down numerous entertaining
stories about it One of them tolls
how a very beautiful young woman
secured a noble husband through its
agency
Her name was Margaret and she
was a royal princess the daughter of
the Emperor Maximilian of Germany
She was born sit Ghent in 1480 and
although that is a long time ago her
fame as an attractive young person
still survives When one looks on her
fair face as the old time painters have
depicted her it seems incredible that
she should have found it difficult to
provide herself with a suitable hus
band Yet it happened so
When she was still an infant Marga
ret was betrothed to Charles VI II of
France Of course the tiny princess
had no opportunity to say nay and
she grew to maidenhood in the belief
that her matrimonial affairs were all
settled Her royal lover proved faith
loss The chaims of Anne of Brittany
made him indifferent to the fact that
he had promised to become the son-in-law
of the German emperor and he
married her Margaret was only elev
en altogether too young to lose her
beauty sleep over the matter Her fa
ther was exceedingly wroth but noth
ing dreadful came of it He waited
until his heiress was seventeen and
married her to Don Juan of Spain son
of Ferdinand and Isabella
Almost before Margaret had made
her new husbands acquaintance even
before he had had an opportunity to
introduce his bride to the Spanish
court he fell sick and died Under
the circumstances- Margaret was not
inconsolable but she waited anothei
four years before she began to scan
the matrimonial horizon in sean li of
IJo 2 Her experience had taught he
one thing in future she purposed do
ing her own selecting with no aid
from anybody except Providence
Finally at the age of twenty one
more beautiful than ever the youmr
widow put off her weeds and notiiied
Providence that the game was on In
order that she might enlist the services
of her patron saint she set out on a
pilgrimage to a shrine in the south of
France That Providence was taking
a lively interest in the business is evi
dent from the sequel
It was not even required of her that
she should complete her pilgrimage
Midway of the journey the princess
and her parly halted at the little vil
lage of Bourg for a few days rest It
was a charming spot in the mountain
region of the Cevennes with great
dark forests on every side
It happened to be the Eastertide On
Easter Monday the chatelaine of the
castle at the princess was a
guest proposed that a party should be
made up to attend tiie vHlasre games
Margaret accepted the proposition with
enthusiasm For a long time she
watched the varying scene with the
liveliest interest The day was per
fect The air was soft and genial and
Nature was in her most amiable mood
Luncheon was served in the open and
afterward the great personages put
aside their state and joined in the
dance
Toward the middle of the afternoon
came the sreat event of the day the
famous egg contest of Bourg Several
men in holiday attire advanced eacli
with a basket on Lis arm containing
the gayly colored eggs which were to
be used in the content There were
twelve dozen of these in all and one

distributed over
the field in a
series of figures
When all was
feiyjj ready the music
changed to a
5 stately measure
and a young man
and his chosen
partner stepped
forward and be
san the dance
It was a serious
matter for the
dancers for on

accorded to each couple and the on 1

in the contest wore anxious and
tain countenances It was the couple
that could glide over the eegs and
pass among them in all the varied
movements of the dance without crack-
ing i single one that might mirrj in
spso f the opposition of the parents
It was one of the most highly cherish

the day was at Its busiest a bold blast
of a hunters horn came from the edge
of the forest It was followed speed
ily by the appearance of a company of
mounted gallants in such splendid at
tire that the peasants stopped in the
dance to gae open mouthed at the ap
parition The Princess Margaret and
her party were almost equally amazed
to behold such splendor issuing from
the forest At the head of the troop
on a spirited white charger rode a
young man Avhosc rich dress and
knightly bearing proclaimed him to be
a person of great consequence
Without further preliminary tie rode
directly to the side of the chatelaine of
Bourg sprang frojn his horse doffed
his plunH d hat and bending a grace
ful knee requested her hospitality for
himself and his men
Sir I am honored in the asking
she responded graciously for she knew
that her would be guest was Philibort
the Handsome duke of Savoy
The duke and his gentlemen were
presented to the princess and the dance
was resumed From the first it was
apparent to the entire company that
the young man whose beauty was the
theme of every court in Europe had
no eyes for the
rustic festivity
Margaret too her
hostess discover
ed had abandon
ed her interest in
the dance and
had transferred
it elsewhere At
last the lady of
Bourg made bold
to rally the beau
tiful widow on
her listlessncss
I fear ma
dame she said
smilingly that
our Easter sport
is becoming tire
some
bowed low before Not at all de-
the lovely clared the
isn widow tcss hotiy -I only
wish I were one of your good peasants
so that 1 might engage in it myself
At this astonishing declaration the
handsome young ruler of Savoy bowed
low before the lovely widow and baid
Madame 1 crave the honor of being
your partner in the Easter egg con
test of Bourg
A great hush fell on the gay and
splendid company Xot a man or wo
man among them all was so stupid
as not to realize that Philiberts words
meant the proffer of his heart and
hand For a moment the fair Mar
garet hesitated and her cheeks flushed
charmingly Then she accepted her
bold young wooers arm and permitted
him to lead her to the held
It is but a harmless diversion she
protested laughingly I shall be cer
tain to break more than one egg be
fore I have accomplished it
Break all of them if you will ma
dame but do not break my heart he
returned presumptuously
She wouid not reassure him by any
spoken word and amid the plaudits of
the onlookers they entered on the trial
The Princess Margarets doleful pre
diction was not uj iiel At the end
of the dance it wrj anoince 1 public
ly that not a staple egg had been bro

You neednt be afraid
One day a lady who had been reared
in the careful luxury of the old fashioned
Virginia home was invited to visit the
kitchen of a great Chicago hotel She
wanted to go but was afraid When
asked why she replied Im afraid Ill
see something that will forever destroy
my appetite for hotel food She went
and found everything delightfully clean
Good housewives consider cleanliness
and purity first of all thats why Quaker
Oats is their choice among all oatmeals
In making Quaker Oats the grain is
sifted and resifted passing through more
than fifty processes of cleaning before it
is cooked and rolled
If you took a handful of oats and
scrubbed and polished and wiped each
separate grain it wouldnt then be nearly
as clean as Quaker Oats No human
hand ever touches a single grain of
Quaker Oats from the field to your
kitchen The best advice on foods you
could have is Eat Quaker Oats every
morning for breakfast
Youll find Quaker Oats put up in
two size packages the regular size and
the large family size for those who are
not convenient to the store
