ALL MY LITTLE PEOPLE

Easter! Isn't it one of the loveliest times of the year to you? a small sigh-of-gladness from Nature before she tucks herself up for her Autumn head-nodding and her Winter sleep. . . . . Friday, that Day oLMemories, has slipped away, and left only the fragrance of remembrance in the glad holiday times; But the memories drift about us still, little echoes of Calvary o that send a solemn thought among the joyous hours of Easter: "Oh, every tree was given up to- blossom, And every, bee burred in the broken lane, < -But as He passed^ the little bees and blossoms ' , ■ Were still with love and pain ..." because, although nineteen hundred years and more have quietly folded themselves away, we cannot forget our heritage ~. . ; But here's Easter Saturday, with delightful eggs for to-mor- • row, and, I'm certain, joyfulness for you all. There's lots for you to do to-night those eggs, f/>r one thing-; and a painting, my pixies, if so you feel inclined. I hope you do! And an especial dearness of love from my self to all your small selves. v FAIRIEL. ,

"TWEET!" ' ! Greetings from Dismal Desmond's Easter chick, just breaking from its egg. Paint him tallow for your scrapbooks,. chicks o' mine! FAIRIEL.

THE "WISH. "A little.boy wished he had an Easter egg, but his mummy was; too poor to b\iy him one. One day he saw a Httle girl run along the Toad and she jdropped a pound note. Ho picked it np and took it to her home. Her jnother gave him ten shillings for his piummy and a liig Easter egg for hini)3elf. So his wish came true. Island Bay. "EVE" (6). ,
