A little animaJ known as Bre’r Rab
bit handles all of the btudnets la-
^dent tP the delivery of Eaatet egga te
the children. He bnilda neata, colors
eggs and doet all of the general work
net'esaary to youthful happineat. Of
course, you rosy believe the Easter
rabbit a modem Instltatloo. We think
his popularity la of comparatively re
cent promotion but—say. listen—Bre’r
Rnbbit was in the egg trade centuriea
before Joel Chandler Harris ever made
Georgia famous, says Wlllism Her
scbell, writing In the Indianapolis
News.
Want to know about Bm’r Rabbit as
•n Baiter Institution? Well, tradition
reporti that this versatile little egg
dlstrlbntor waa In huslneas before the
(’hrlstlan era. He has aurrounded
himself with many legends that date
back Into the pagan era, long before
the birth of Christ, yel Easter eggs
are supposed to symimllte the Resur
re<-flon and the rebirth of nuture.
As one ranges back through history
and triHlItlon the conneetbm of the
rabbit with Raster becomes more iii.vs
terlous. Here Is one story, there Is an
other. They seem at counterpoint,
aritl one may t<*y with the dlfTerent
legends as he cluMtses. Sue Brady,
delver Into mythology, says;
Why the Easter Bunny?
“Into Uie tteapty of KHri***" symbol
Ism the Raster rahhlt.and the load of
hrigliUy-coUived. J!ggs ..which he .cur .
rics f6r good children'hops as a sort'
of quaintly comic relief. Why. ask
the curious, sh^ld s sleek, fat bunny
and colored eggs be connected with
a festival which celebrates tlie resur
r«*ctlon of Jesus Christ? There s»*eius

waa asabciated with tba openiof of
tha new year at Baatef’aa well aa with
tbe beginning of a new Ufa In the
youth and maiden. Hence the hare
became eonnectad in the popular mind
with tbe paschal eggs broken to aignlfjk
the opening of tbe year.”
Sterling Helig tracea the colored
agg far beyond the rcanrrectlon of the
Savior, going badi to pagan daya when
a glided egg waa a aymboi of good
. tuck to a pagan monarch. Whether
laid by hen or bare, a glided egg—ae
BMtter who the magician that gilded
It—was algniflcant of good lack If It
appeared at a ruler’s table when troo-
blous days were upon the monarch. Of
course that was fur beyond the Chris

Egg Hunts Popular.

White House under the watcliful e.ves
<>f the President and the First I.ady of
the I.nnd.
"A dusty seroll preserved in the
Tower of I.ondnn contains the
hoiiseludd accounts of Edward I
of Kngland'. One entry nuide short
ly before Raster is for eiglitt'en
pence (thirty-six cents) to buy
44H) eggs for the Raster oelehra-
tloii In the royal household. Outside
of the purely et'onomlc lnten*Ht to the
student of comparative prices, this
item Indicates to s certain extent the
age of our nualem cuatom.
“But none of these explain the why
of the custom. As a matter of fact,
the origin of the rabbit and the eggs j
Is very difllcuU to trace. MoBt^,J'estl- I

Raster and gained a lasting ntTectioii
in the Iu'hiMs of millions of children

William S. Walsh, nationally known
authority on -mythology, was asked
give Ids version of the origin of the j
Easter rabbit He made this roi>ort; {
"The conne<'tlon between Raster
and the hare springs from the hare%
connection with the m<H*n. Raster,
since Its date depends on the nvmn.
Is In a sense, a lunar holiday. Now
from \’ery ancient times the hare hat
been a symbol for the moon. There ara
many reasons for this, A few only
need be given. The hare Is a nocturnal
animal nd comes out at night to
teed. The female carries her young for
a month, thus rt'presenting the lunar
cycle.
Hare and the Moon.
“Both hare and moon were thought
to have the power of changtng their
«ex. The new moon was matcullnt,
the waning moon fendnine. But a
more Important reason for the tdeatt-
fleation of the hare with the moon
lay in the fact that Its young are honi

“The name of the hare In BgypHaa
