" IN VARIOUS DATES nniversary of the Death and Resurrection of Christ Never Fixed. r IS something of an anomaly from the religious point of view that the aniversary of Christ's death may fall i any one of thirty-five days, while le anniversary of his birth is always n the Bame. It is no less of an anomLy from the astronomical standoint, for there seems no reason why e, having adopted the solar year as basis of our calendar, should cling ) the lunar year merely for the esiblishment of one date. It is a mystery' why, when the date f Christ's birth was fixed on Decemer 25, some dates In April were not t the same time settled upon as those f his death and resurrection. That r.ould have been logical and would ave banished from the calendar a mar cycle that has long been abanoned by all civilized peoples. It should not be difficult to fix the atonal date for Easter. If Christ was ruclfied on the 14th day of the March loon astronomers ought to be able to alculate on what date this fell. They aV that In all probability it fell on .pril 7 of the year 30 of the Christian ra. Why, then, not fix Easter once hd for all as the first Sunday after jiril 7? It is to the Council of Nicea that we we the perpetuation of our anachroIstic method of reckoning Edster. This cwncll decreed that it should be the Jjfit Sunday after the first full moon lat occurs after the vernal equinox, larch 21. Pope Gregory XIII under>ok at that time to reform the Julian alendar, which had been in use ever luce Julius Caesar, in 46 B. C., had rescrlbed that a year should consist f 366 days, every fourth year having 66, This Julian calendar was a re>rm of a still more ancient system aaed upon the motions of the moon, rhlch system varied widely in differnt lands. In Rome It had originated 1th, Romulus, who established a year f ten months, having alternately 31 ad 30 days, making 304 dayB in all. futia Pompilius added the months of 'eb'ruary and January, and in the ear 452 B; C? the Decemvirs placed Jem where they now stand. When Pope Gregory undertook to afo'ra the Julian calendar, that had y that time become incorrect by bogt ten days, the revolution of the artfh around the sun was not yet fully nderstood, so Instead of making a ha^ge that would be thoroughly sd Jxc.fth* present rornrof year was1 dopte^fc the Julian calendar being KXUfletB by calling uctoDer a, iobz, >ctober?15, aitd by making all teritnal ylars of centuries, 1700, 1800, 900, etc., common years of 365 days, zcept when the year was a multiple isygisssasg IBbP ? i ~~zmnzizizi?n h1=3E===E&E= 111 IllEEEliill!! #======!====! hart Showing the Sliding Scale of Easter for the Ten Years From 1910 to 1920. f 400, as 1600, 2000, etc., which should e leap years. ,\ In those days they were so accusDmed to movable feasts that it never ccurred to the reformers of the calen- | ar that a day might come when their lovability should be inconvenient, 'hey knew so little about the rela[ons between the sun and the earth hat they did not want to renounce the mar year entirely and so upset the rder of feast days that had from time nmemorlal been based upon the lovements of the moon. Though the Gregorian calendar was isued in 1582, prejudice against anyhing that came from Rome was so Lrong in England that it was not dopted there until by an act of parament, passed in 1751, September 3, 752, was reckoned as September 14, nd New Year'B day was set back om March 25 to January 1, begining with 1753. To fix one definite date for Easter, ould require a decree from the pope, he whole Roman Catholic world and II Roman Catholics elsewhere would t once adopt it, and there is little oubt that the Protestant churches ould follow. As it is a purely regious feast, this is all that would e necessary. In Russia and Greece the Julian calndar is still in use, so their dates are ow 12 days different from ours. How to Dye Easter Eggs. A M issisRinni woman contributes le following suggestion to the Wornn's Home Companion: "If you will save the dry, brown kins from onions and boil the eggs dth the onion skins long enough for le egg to be hard, you will obtain eautifully-dyed Easter eggs of varius shades of brown, with no taste of le onion and no danger of poison, as :om some other dyes." fe Tailored Costume I Covert cloths, shepherd's-checked and striped suitings seem tc^be dividing honors In tailored salts for spring. It is bard to say which is most favored. All of them are developed In many smartly cut and perfectly tailored plain suits that are far and away the most elegant of all street dresses. Some of the new models are what may be called severely plain, allowing themselves only machine stitching and buttons by way of garniture and finishing touches. Buttons this seasob are made of the fabric of the garment in many elegant suits, but in unusual shapes. -In an equal number of designs they are selected from the various composition, bone or pearl designs. But severe lines and finishing do not characterize all the new spring tailor-mades. The coat-suit shown In the picture belongs to the plain well-tailored class that should be found in every woman's wardrobe. It is just right for the business woman, the traveler, or for street wear where one finds need for only one new tailored costume. Revealing Charm ( A coiffure which Is beautiful from any point of view is not met with every day. Here is one which is exquisite from whatever side you look upon it. It convinces one that there is nothing quite so pretty as curls, and should prove that the classic lines, ! which it follows closely, have never j been improved upon. The hair for this coiffure is waved and parted at the left side. The short hair about the forehead and temples is curled into very short ringlets. The back hair is brought to the top of the crown and coiled in a loose soft coil. The waved front hair is brought back to the coil and pinned to it, leaving the ends free. These ends are sepa* rated Into strands and curled in short tight curls. They are pinned close to the head about the coil. Finally las Won Approval ^pnnf * . t The skirt is cut with wide overlapped side seams forming a sloping panel down the front. It is cut with a sufficient flare and is ankle-length. In many of these skirts the waist line la high, and suspender tops and pockets at the sides give them an air of utility that is very snappy and smart The coat In this suit follows the lines of the figure rather more closely than is the rule in spring styles^ It has a panel back and plain cost sleeves finished with a band and two. ; buttons at the wrist. At each side of the front an applied strap, pointed at. the end and decorated with a button and simulated buttonhole, suggests a. belt. , ... \ ? waist having a Square turn-over collar V " at the back. This has a "V-shaped 1 opening at the front showing a dainty collar and vestee of lace or net worn under it. Cloth-top shoes and a pretty hemp hat with trimming of ribbon and cherries complete a spring costume that merits no criticism. >f Classic Coiffure timm i Bfesfa'Jj a narrow band of silk or velvet ribbon is fastened about the head to support the waved hair and keep the ringlets about the face in place. But one's hair must be naturally curly in order to make successfully the short ringlets about the coil. Also there must be no end of time to give to liairdressing. When neither of these requisites is present, pinned-in curls are to be used. They save time and stay in curl better than the natural hair. They may be bought in any length needed and are always ready. Even one who cherishes a prejudice against acquired hair will forgive Its use when it is impossible to detect It and when a coiffure Is as adorably pretty as that one described and pic tured here. , / JULIA iiOTTOMLEY.
