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*

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."

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

^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. , /
